Ski Southeast Messageboard

Rolled up the hill around 4:00 pm, out on the snow at 5:45. Snow was great on Shawneehaw, Star and Lightning, Robins was a little bumpy due to all the new man-made snow. There were enormous rollers here and there, kind of fun, tons of them in the terrain area. Very cold, at the top it hovered from 11 to 13 degrees with about a 15 mph wind.



While it wasn't still powder, the snow had good texture and was fun to ski. Didn't drag out the fat skis, but it was all good.



One of our patrollers flew up from Florida and cooked up about 50 pounds of crayfish after shift, and we pigged out until about midnight.

Hey Patrol Dude.....Open THE OZ RUN!!

seriously any chance for the weekend?

NIC

DO NOT HOLD ME TO THIS!!!!! One of the snowmakers said they might have enough snow back there to open this weekend. It remains the mountain manager's decision as to when. Hope for natural support!!!!



Problems last night included a skier/boarder taking out one of the hydrants, shutting down the water side of the system. Got it back up and running in an hour or so.



Maybe this weekend.

I was there....saw the huge spray from the broken hydrant or whatever.....what was up with that lift being stopped for so long?

Not real sure. Lift maint doesn't tell us much, except when to get ready to go. We were getting preped for an evac, but it didn't happen. What ever it was, it wasn't too much, they had it running later.

They had on of the chairs come off the lift in the top round house. I admit I felt sorry for everyone stuck on the lift their were there for at leat 20min or so.

No, I think it was a drive shaft issue. I was there, no chair came off. Helped off-load the folks as they came up.
