Costs to upgrade the snowmaking system on Superstar are now behind them, so overall cost should be lower. The rented 27- 1600 CFM compressors for the event, they normally rent only 13 for the mnt. This is in addition to the stationary units they have.

They might as well keep blowing when they can then! Cover it up and they'll have the base started for November!

It's not a new lift but great news. All the more reason to renew my pass. The world cup was a blast. My family loved it.

Even if Liggity is healthy next year, a men's event won't turn 'em out like Michaela did.

Best news I have had since last spring's announcement for the 2016 races! And I DO hope the men's teams can make it too. I'd give a theoretical million to see Kristoffersen and Hirscher race live dammit!!
