Dipper?
One of the mountain's best trails still closed ? Is there an issue with the guns there?

Re: Dipper?
They had about 4 guns on Lower Downdraft with maybe 12 guns blowing snow into the Dipper Bowl. Highest gun running is at the high side of Downdraft. Many poachers skiing under ropes from Dipper Glade.

Big Dip and workroad had good cover the other day.
DDip will fill-in pretty quick once they decide to execute.
Most of the capacity looks to be focused on Dreamaker and OL.
They'll tune the Fiddle eventually, but it's do-able right now with few issues.

Re: Dipper?
I am not familiar with the compressor setup this year but I assume the compressors at Bear are for OL/Dreamaker/Fiddle while the compressors at Snowshed could be used for Double Dipper. What are they blowing to the north of Skye Peak, if anything?brownman wrote:DDip will fill-in pretty quick once they decide to execute.

Re: Dipper?
Snowmaking has begun on Lower Double Dipper and for a plus, Lower Ovation!

Re: Dipper?
I truly enjoyed skiing both the Fiddle and Ovation on natural snow. However, there are some areas on both of those trails that need more snow so I'm OK with them blowing on those trails.Ragged#1 wrote:Snowmaking has begun on Lower Double Dipper and for a plus, Lower Ovation!
Re: Dipper?
^ I do agree but it takes alot of natural snowfall to get those wide open and steep trails open without any help. If they have a solid bottom layer + natural snow fall =
