Moving snowmaking to ripcord would make a lot of sense to me given how the cold air has been inadequate at the lower elevations.

Just got a weather advisory for our area of 4"-8" between Saturday late afternoon to Sunday evening. What a shame....

Confirmed, via the Snow Report at sugarbush.com:

And we’re gunning to get ripcord open for the weekend, so be sure to keep updated

This will definitely help to ease some of the traffic on Downspout!

Unless they aren't able to get all the way to the bottom on Lower Ripcord. In years past, they've used the Paradise Extension to get back to Downspout before Lower Ripcord was ready.
