No more snowmaking talk from me. I have said all I can. When it snows the subject with change anyways. Hawk, if you ever want to sit down and speak to those to run our snowmaking department, I would be pleased to arrange. You know my email.
So, here's an update from this morning. It rained a lot yesterday although it did start as freezing rain on the upper part of the mountain and the rain was off and on most of the day. The temperatures actually peaked around midnight and then started coming down and will do so all day. Most of the natural trail will need a foot or more to reopen as will Slidebrook. The snowmaking trails, however, have held up reasonably well. I only had a little over an hour to ski today so I only got out on LP. Spring-like buttery conditions on the lower half of the mountain and firmer up high. Tonight we will have an aggressive grooming plan and as the snow sets up they can patch the trails together well. We will be get the guns back on during the night. The exact plan will be decided in a bit at our daily snow plan, but it looks like the priorities at LP will be lower organgrinder, downspout and some other mid-mountain locations. Upper mountain trails at both ME and LP are in good shape and depth for grooming.
Looking at the forecast we do not see any near term warm-ups. A clipper system could deliver some snow Saturday and Sunday and most of the meteorologists are looking at a system that could be meaningful Monday night into Tuesday. Fingers crossed on this one.
