Re: Superstar chair

One word: wind. There is a reason that top terminal is tucked in just after the breakover. That is the area that always was the culprit for closing Stage 3 of the original gondola. yup. i'm sure they'll do all the surveys and engineering necessary to put the lift in the absolute optimized location....

Re: Superstar chair

When Hunter replaced the original Sunlite Express they refurbished it, updated the terminals, and moved it to the west side. I think that was done in 1 summer and included replacing the HSQ with the current 6 pack. They removed the quad and installed the six-pack the first summer. The quad parts sa...

Re: sunday cinco de mayo non-report

the trend continues. both friday & saturday were great but once again the mtn got screwed on the weekend with pretty much a total washout today.

last year we had something like 12 out of 13 beautiful ski days in may & june so hopefully today's the end of the bad weather days.

sunday cinco de mayo non-report

looked like a pretty ugly day on the hill. think LINY might have gotten out but you know it's a rough day day when 4 runs gets you on the leader board.

the 7 day looks like a rather wet. will be interesting to see what supe looks like friday as we begin the 1st of our "off" weeks.

Re: Superstar chair

We don't even know what the issue is other than possible service brake. We had a service brake issue and it took a month to replace and the lift was down the whole time. It's quite possible if they started to tear into it there would be no spring skiing so they are bandaiding it for now. Up until r...

Re: Saturday 5/4 Derby day

came out for afternoon shift as the sun was breaking through a bit. full-on by the close. good apre-hang. by end of day, thought supe bumps were biggest of the year. with the swarms on the run, it got a bit "uncomfortable" at times. skye lark actually bumped up nicely. lower did ski well b...

thursday 5/2 report

Re: Superstar chair

Funny…when we lived at Pico we skied over, went under the Ram’s tunnel, took the Snowshed chair to the Superstar chair and straight into Bear to meet friends there for lunch. Ironically the interconnect is there and usable in that direction. Gotta get the bus back from snowshed though. if you start...

Re: Superstar chair

The constant arguments about an interconnect are pretty hysterical in this context. Pico is open at best from end of December to the first weekend in April and we have seen that season as short at 1/6-3/15 in recent memory. In addition the interconnect itself is only viable on natural snow for mayb...

Re: May Day Fun Slalom 2024

no mention. not on the event calendar. seems like it's been a few years since they held it. at one point, they used to give a day ticket good for early season for entering, then they stopped doing that and so did the number of participants so bye bye. no drip this morning but the mtn's buried under ...
