The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

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.
