Re: State of Superstar May 11, 2024

thanks for the pics and bata ozzy.
can only read so much from the cams.
i'm ok with walking to the lift.
i hope we wind up with a little more width in the chokes.
a few less people on the snow (esp sat.)

Re: Thursday 5/23/24 report

nice work moose. and thanks (and no thanks;0} for the pics and reportage.

i have to believe the next pass will build upon what was done today

and the surface will always be better after some human groomin', so long as we're not pulling up more debris as the ship steafily melts...

rock skis ready!

Re: State of Superstar May 11, 2024

^^ correct. it's like watching paint...melt. eta: that said, the view from the mountain view cam is not so bad right now. tomorrow we'll likely get to watch the first passes later in the day... we are lucky to have gotten this far. we can thank those three big storms that came after the start of mud...

Re: State of Superstar May 11, 2024

at this point i'm remembering how well the groomers have been able to restore a good t2b run from large patches in the past. there IS still a lot of snow on the hill. i'm keeping the faith, and preparing for the worst. the weather will be beautiful. bring the bug spray. the blackflies are getting hu...

Re: Superstar 2024

yup already resigned to ski carry/headwall hiking. a fitting end to a pretty poor season. thankful we got this far!

Re: sunday 5/19 report

great day indeed and the sunny last 2 hours were fantastic.
much snow lost compared to last weekend and a hot mid-week comin' up.
there will be some suspense. hoping for a long weekend ahead.
