Eh, I don't think there needs to be a lot of "above average temps" to use that word. Plus it's a nice way to describe that high pressure rebound after the early season cold snaps.

You're right. You have to subtract operating costs off gross revenue to get taxable income. That new juicer they got some years ago is a fucking money sink in maintenance costs....not to mention all of the money they're putting into Griz.
So funny that they are fullbore with a marketing campaign about a new lift that hasn't even passed a load test. Load testing is a big deal and surely not a done deal.
^^especially if Pat was involved in the construction

I'm a damn proud father today, my 19 year old son just bought a season pass out of his own pocket!
Did Tom Wells get back on skis?
He has been skiing Disco, with his new hips.
That's great. I owe T a bunch for a zillion good days raging around the Bowl bitd.
Anyone hear any news on how the load testing went for the Snowpark chair?

Not sure bout disco posting protocol but went for a drive up the rumsey(backside) rd today to check it out and let dogs run. Looking very low tide back there but plow guy did show up as I was walking dogs. That lot they made is fairly small but curious how often it gets used. Was talking to patrol tonight and still planning opening sat but not a whole lot gonna be available. I might need to road trip back to the old stomping grounds.
Same, but it would not surprise me in the slightest.
I am picking up my pass tomorrow but not sure if I'll screw up the courage to actually ask Ronnie.
^ I'll be doing the same tomorrow
New update from them: No opening this weekend, need more snow.
Disco may be in the cards then
Maybe they will follow the Great Divide model of only opening the outer chair(s) on weekends and holidays. Kind of aggravating but at least at GD you can mostly ski the good outer terrain and still traverse back to the base, even if the chairs aren't running.
Looking at the new Snowbowl map, it looks like there is a road from the bottom of the Snow Park lift back to the parking lot. But it appears to be out of the ski area boundary. I wonder if people will be able to ski the Snow Park terrain even if the lift is closed and ski the road back to the base.
The road is a long ways and trends up hill to the parking lot. Easy skin from bottom of snow park back up to TV mtn. I think it would be cool to lap powder back there midweek and earn the turns if the lift is not running.
I just picked up my pass, and Ronnie confirmed that the new lift will only operate Thursday through Sunday, plus Holidays. :cussing:
No need to travel to LT for powder Thursday’s now ;)
You'll have to get yourself one of these...Fred's a ripper. :)
