    Certainly one with no historical precedence.
    In order to showcase the new quad what if they moved Steins up in the snow making schedule
    I am questing it is less than half the acreage compared to blowing Snowball to Spring fling ,and its northern exposure might help in preserving an early season base.
    On the downside it would probably appeal to a somewhat limited group of skiers as compared to Snowball

    So for the most part you're right that it doesn't matter what is open that early.
    Great. See you there. You and Howie.

The only thing Reverse Traverse is good for is a stopping point cming out of the woods, it's uphill!!!
    So the guys working up top told me last spring that they were gong to work on Reverse Traverse and take out the hump so it would not be up hill from the new lift. Not sure how they will do that but we will see.

    I can't wait now although I'm still working out my situation.

    I think that's doable. I wonder what it's going to look like when it's all final graded. They still have that work to do up there. There's a steep drop, err, cliff where the chair lands in to the mall. Hard to tell from the pictures I posted but it's a drop off right now.

    I'm thinking a cut through from both Stein's and Snowball. That's a lot of fill to get to there

    In downhill mountain biking, that would be called a "filter feature." It's a tough obstacle at the beginning of trail intended to keep people from going where they don't belong. In this case though, it sounds like the feature is excessive.

    Took the dog for a hike up to the upper terminal a couple of weeks ago
    While the drop in looks intimidating it is not that long and I am thinking they will push some snow over the edge to ease the transition.
    Even as it is I am not sure it is a whole lot different from the drop in to Steins next door , upper organ grinder or even lower Domino for that matter. Certainly not as harrowing as dropping into some of the glades such as Egan’s Woods or Lews Line

    Can you go around the drop? I would assume the lift will block most of the trail for a short distance.

    Of course. I assume the drop will be blocked by the lift shack.

    I've answered most of this in the Valley House forum. VH will run Friday-Sunday and Holidays. If we see more skiers than we traditionally have midweek, I will consider running in more, but not this year.
