Sad to see this be the final weekend for Gate House and Mt Ellen but its gotta come sometime.
Also had an interesting lift ride with someone today on Super Bravo. Either a snowmaker or former snowmaker maybe? I couldn't place it but said person seemed to be "in the know." This person said that in the last couple days something has happened to the snowmaking intake system down at the Mad River. He seemed to say its a good thing they have all summer to fix it because the initial report he heard was it was a fairly significant issue. And that it wouldn't be cheap and the permitting to do anything near the Mad River is going to be a pain in the ass. He said its like a $1 million dollar intake pump and system?
Anyone know any details? It seemed secondhand and now i'm telling it thirdhand.
