    aren't we jumping the gun a bit speculating that there is anything wrong with HG.

    Agreed!! As Hawk pointed out, the "other lift confirmations coming soon" is a bit suspicious based upon HG's prior malfunctions and that Upper Grinder appears not to be opening. Would just be good to know whether HG is going to run this coming weekend.

    Probably going to be windy.

    Well, our question just got answered on the Snow Report and Stoke Exchange.....NO Heaven's Gate on Saturday.
    I wonder if it was mechanical as they made plenty of snow on Upper Jester. Anyone in the know??

    Somewhat of a soft start for Saturday. I know a lot of folks will be disappointed, but I am OK to just be starting this year At all. I just hope that the reason for no HG is not a lift issue and that it is just a snow issue.

    According to the stoke exchange 6 trails going to be open. They specify lower grinder domino chute downspout lower downspout and coffee run. The last section of lower jester must be the 6th no upper mountain.

    The diesel back up is shot so they can't run the lift safely. I'm headed to Killington. Not good.
    Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
    Got two good eyes but we still don’t see!

    They cannot buy a break. I'm going to assume it just crapped out and give them the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, not a good start.

    I've been hesitant to jump to conclusions, but the conditions update seems to confirm the worst fears. IF HG is mechanical, that is an epic failure given the history. Let's all chant "we want heavens gate" or "we want working lifts" in the lift line at opening.
    Or head to K like Hawk.

    Actually, they could buy a break.
