Bluebird skies, cars parked past Chair 2, hot cocoa, Woolly, music… and amazing snow! Epic opening day! More photos to come, and if you happen to be up, champagne toast on the Tusk’s sundeck at 11am! That’s me, geared up and ready to go!
Tomorrow this time the mountain will be open! After a bit more snow fell last night, plus the storm Sunday and almost non-stop snowmaking, the coverage is incredible. Chairs 1, 3, 6, 11 and lower and upper Gondi will be running. Dust off your skis and boards, it’s going to be a great day!

Broadway is groomed and ready for opening day by the looks of it! Some snow is in the forecast this weekend so hopefully more terrain will be ready for November 11. Bring it on.
Over the last few weeks I’ve (with the help of my wife and friends) been putting the finishing touches to our wood stack for the winter. A $26 permit from the Forest Service allows you to collect up to 5 cords of wood, more than enough for a winter. The whole process reminded me a […]
