Snowmakers Delight

Afternoon Report

Acorn Lift Update:

The good news is we have a solution insight, but it will take some time to get the lift back up and running. We anticipate having the motor installed, tested and ready to run by Thursday. Know that we are working round the clock to accomplish the repair and if at all possible, we’ll try get it up and running sooner.

In the meantime, snowmakers are doing what they do best – making snow, and tons of it. They’ve used millions of gallons of water, pumping 8000 gallons a minute. That’s like taking 8000 gallons of milk per minute and turning it into ice cream!

Tomorrow we will open with 15 trails. Not to sound like a broken record, but it’s going to be a fabulous day on the slopes, blue bird skies, great conditions, with a fresh coat of snow from overnight snowmaking. Go, team, go!

Rest up and make it a snowday tomorrow.

Morning Report

What a great night of snowmaking - we call it snowmakers delight. Cold temperatures makes for efficient and productive snowmaking. The team pumped out tons of snow last night and will continue to make snow round the clock into Wednesday. Conditions will be stellar today – beautiful blue skies and a fresh layer of snow. Temperatures are cold, so dress accordingly with lots of layers, take frequent breaks, and enjoy a holiday Monday.

Acorn Lift Update

Acorn lift will not be operating today so A-side trails will be closed. We will provide an update on the lift repair later today. We are exploring all of our options and looking for creative solutions. Again, we thank you for your patience.

See you on the slopes.
