Last weekend, they did a paint and run job, only using every other hydrant. I'm surprised they have it open under the guns, given how susceptible that pipe is to blowouts.

I also believe they'll build Dreammaker as well but possibly with a modified pipe like last year.
Today is day 6 on Timberline if my memory and math are correct...(guns have been on since Saturday night 1/13?)

they went on sunday night. from my sunday report:
skiadikt wrote: Jan 14th, '24, 12:40 not a gun in sight. report mentions a less than ideal - presumably temps. tonight should be fine.
sounds like they're wrapping up. suspect they want it ready for saturday. if they shut down overnight that'll make 4 days and change which is pretty much par. then they move on to OL & DM.

Lower Dipper is marked with a snowmaking symbol on the report.

Looks like they did cut Fridays from South Ridge. Every single trail off of it is open, yet it's not scheduled for tomorrow. You've got to be kidding me.

The Captain says they were on during the day Sunday (counters skiadikt's report)...

And Killington claims they went on overnight Saturday...

My recollection was Tuesday and Thursday, but that doesn't appear to be happening either...

on sunday we started at vale at 8am. as i said not a gun going anywhere which i took note of because the mtn's initial report said they were or at least they "strived" to. when i got home they mentioned "less than ideal" conditions. they could have gone on later in the day certainly by the captain's shift. think we were out of there by 10:30. but's that's sunday afternoon, not saturday night.

on sunday we started at vale at 8am. as i said not a gun going anywhere which i took note of because the mtn's initial report said they were. report later updated to say less than ideal conditions which is why i said tonight (sunday nite) should be fine. they could have gone on later in the day certainly by the captain's shift. think we were out of there by 10:30. but's that's sunday afternoon, not saturday night.
Thanks for clarifying!

Jiminy has been pounding it. New terrain and major resurfacing simultaneously, day and night, all week.

They are boasting that they will have 100% of their snowmaking terrain open starting tomorrow. They deserve to boast. There is not a single window this season, that they didn't take full advantage of. Not a one.

I guess the lift replacement project didn’t include fixing the weather on SR. :lol:

Thermometer at the peak read -4. Add in the gusty wind and it’s probably the prudent decision. Too many lawsuits decided by 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty.
