Waste of resources
Time, money and effort to blow and open & OL, IMHO, for three days could have been put to better use to increase snow depth on Sky Bitter and Superstar. Just say'n.

Agreed - but that was marketing money too... It just needs a 24 hour refresher for the long weekend in 10 days.shortski wrote:Time, money and effort to blow and open & OL, IMHO, for three days could have been put to better use to increase snow depth on Sky Bitter and Superstar. Just say'n.
Re: Waste of resources
Not trying to open OL would be admitting defeat. I think you're right though. Can't win until it snows.

Re: Waste of resources
Heard on KZone through the latter half of January:
"When are they going to blow on Dipper, OL and Ovation?"
"When are they going to blow on Dipper, OL and Ovation?"
"When are they going to blow on Dipper, OL and Ovation?"
Heard on KZone in early February:
"What a waste of resources. They should've saved their firepower to resurface what was already open."
Can somebody say "a no win situation"?

They need to make snow on every expert trail except for Lower Ovation, Devil's Fiddle and Conclusion.

Re: Waste of resources
The runs we had on OL last weekend were better than any of the runs we have taken on SS pod this entire season.
It's a signature trail and they would have faced ridicule had they not attempted.
OL Base layer is in place. Let's hope we can leverage it
There is still time for Superstar.

Re: Waste of resources
It would be the Worst Idea of the Season not to blow OL. Maybe shorter skis are in order if the trail is kicking your butt.

Re: Waste of resources
OL is signature. Dreammaker is not. Time to ask what if February is the same as January for snowmaking allocation going forward.

Re: Waste of resources
looking at the picture, OL seems that it could easily be opened if it were groomed. I know that's heresy, but its going to happen at some point, because of the re-freeze. Groom the base, make snow and it will be skiable again by Saturday.

IMHO ... Regardless of the funky bump config, hope they don't deploy any equipment on it other than K9000'sjimmywilson69 wrote:looking at the picture, OL seems that it could easily be opened if it were groomed.

Re: Waste of resources
Ol, Dreamaker, ovation, Vertigo aside, will they be able to blow the Superstar glacier this season. Resurfacing and base building for the balance of the mnt should come first.

OUTER LIMITS A WASTE??? YOUR A WASTE.....I BUY MY PASS FOR OUTER LIMITS!!!! Last week in the snow guns and sun was wonderful!! Killington has always been a mecca for hot bump skiers...you can't shut them out...there has to be life after blue squares and groomers..if I wanted a "groomer" I would go to the beauty parlor...if I wanted corduroy, I would go to the levi store...if you don't like the great OUTER LIMITS, take a lesson, you can also feel the buzz and burn of the great "OUTER LIMITS"!!!!!
