For how long they've been working on East Fall, there's no excuse for it not being ready tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised to see Double Dipper and possibly Great Northern added too.

Upper east fall opened today around 2 I hit it a couple times... nice new snow mixed in well w the man made. Gnarly water bar half way down that is not covered at all... giant holes, probably be groomed in tonight. Patrollers were also eyeing dropping ropes on DD but did not while I was there. Snowing hard when I left low visibility... couple inches on the ground around 3. Also a good amount of snow on upper GN be a real shame if that doesn’t open tomorrow, really no reason.

Probably someone fat fingered upper East Fall.

Wouldn't be the first time they made that mistake.

Top half looks ready. Carry some speed, you might make it. I'll be the guy selling tickets...

They should just go back to East Glade and West Glade. Still not sure why Otten renamed them besides wanting to artificially boost his trail count.

Any on the ground reports of snowmaking? Hard to tell from the webcams at the moment, only thing definitive is the fan guns at the bottom of Superstar are running. Temps and humidity forecast about as perfect as it gets.

When I checked the mountain view cam at 7 it looked like there was snowmaking at the K1 base. It did not appear that Lower Bunny was under the guns. Currently there is a heavy squall blowing through

But yet on Friday morning upper east fall still marked closed on the trail report and snow report says it should open this weekend. I guess they are having problems filling that snow reporter position.
