Welcome to Winter! Snowmaking is underway, temperatures dropped below freezing, and are forecast to stay consistent for a few days. Snowmakers are hard at work on...
There's not enough snow to groom on Lower Moonshine so why bother
FWIW...Snowmaking now in progress on Rim Run and Elbow at Mt Ellen
According to the guys that I talked to that were working on the trails at Mt Ellen it seemed like they were creating easier, flow style trails
There are a few new bike trails at Mt Ellen
Organgrinder and Ripcord skied like an icy day in December rather than a sunny day in early April. Lower Organgrinder was a mess from the top to the bottom. Snowball had a few stretches of soft...
80% might be a little bit high but you aren't too far off in your estimate
"Headwall" and snowball should not be used in the same sentence
I skied Brambles today and I am am not a racer.
What a bunch of whiners - it's Spring Fling that you won't be skiing on tomorrow. I'll be at Mt Ellen while you'll be waiting in lines at Lincoln Peak.
Snowmaking all day today on Elbow and started mid day on FIS. Glad to have skied at Mt Ellen today.
Better hope there are alternative trail options next week when seasonal programs start. Downspout was getting slick and dangerously crowded after 11 AM this weekend. Ski patrol was MIA and should...
Guns were on Downspout to the HG chair when I walked up at 2:30 PM today.
Win mentioned the future lodge at the top of the Gatehouse area in passing as he was speaking about weddings and other activities. There was no additional detail or time frame given beyond it was in...
I don't think that most people go for 8 hours. I think it's more of a drop in for an hour and have a few ($7) beers type of event. I was also up this weekend and did not go. $5 admission would be...
$20 adult admission and $5 to park will keep a lot of people away. IIRC admission used to be a "donation".
I spend about 80% of my time at Mt Ellen vs Lincoln Peak when Mt Ellen is open. I ski mostly on weekends and hate wasting time in lift lines at LP.
- If you think Mt Ellen lacks technical...
IMHO Alpine Options is the best in the Valley for boot fitting, custom foot beds and other boot work.
Glad to finally have the NRX chair running. Great skiing at Mt Ellen today.
Sunny D is delayed and might not run today. Hope everyone has fun riding the GMX to get to the park for the Burton event.
Thanks for the update. I am sure that we all hope that this puts an end to issues with the NRX chair.
When its 10 below at the summit it's no fun riding the Summit Chair. The NRX gets you to more than 1700' of vertical with a lot of trail options in a quick ride. Did ride the Inverness chair and...
Is it going to run tomorrow? Lapping the GMX chair sucks.
Nice snow on Steins today !
