I was at Beech on Monday and Southern Star (Black) has some large bare and thin spots on the steeper sections. Robbins Run (Blue) was also getting a bit thin and I see on today's report that it is closed. That being said, they should be able to re-open this weekend if they get some natural snow today and have a few days of snowmaking.
White Lightning (Black) was open when i was there, but the steep section also was getting thin and a few bare spots were starting to how.
3 Blues (Meadows, Crossway, and of course, Oz) had no snow and were closed.

Thanks for the info. I guess they focused more on Lightening than Star this year. In previous years they've pretty much worked across from Shawneehaw in order. Like you say, this weekend should get them all open again.

Robbins was closed for a race, not for a lack of snow. Not sure why the haven't been making snow on Southern Star, but they've really been laying it down on White Lightning.
