Dunno if it means anything, but he did pull the snow guns out on the webcam.

If those temps hold for both the top and bottom of the mountain, I guarantee Sugar will try. Being that those temps are marginal, it is hard to tell if there will be enough time to make enough snow to get open.

I'm definitely not holding my breath, but sure would be nice to ride on my birthday just once :)

They might be blowing at the top now, dark on the webcam but it looks like there are some flurries and haze from a blower in the cam.

Just really cloudy up here...extremely low visibility at the top driving up. Just a waiting game for now!

Looks like Sugar is thinking about it. As of 7 PM, the lights are on the slopes. Temperature is too high still at 32 at the top, but then again I have seen them start making snow at higher temps in the past.

I’m watching too, they’ll crank up in the next few hours.

The reason they can start snow making at warmer temps is because of the "Wet Bulb" Temperature...not the dry bulb temperature.
