That makes absolutely no sense! Why would they make snow on the parking lot first???!?

Looks to me like Superstar “gun” has been turned on. Nice photo op though.

Earlier, they had a gun on Skye Lark, and then I guess it was moved to Superstar. We'll see on the webcams by morning if there was any progress.

North Ridge is also charged with a few guns on.

No progress is planned, it's 40 degrees up there. It's a full test to prep for later in the week.

Yep, that's what 35 degrees and 80% humidity will get you. A "wet" dress rehearsal.
