It's a bit much to ask for detailed conditions updates when they're 10 days from opening? Probably short staffed and those that are there scrambling on other higher priority stuff?

Just click on the telemetry, the links that are on their site. Wouldn't you do that anyway if you're that concerned.

Nice pictures owmyballs.

It was all so sparkly!

Very nice. I snagged this capture from the webcam this morning.

Knee deep turns all the way down GV bowl:

Very strong work. Groomer track to the top?

I got to xtal late today and missed the crowds (A lot was full) but still snuck in a couple of GV laps and only hit a couple rocks. No skiing pictures but GV was awesome and iceburg skied surprisingly well.

I beat XavierD by a few hours and it was primo; no rocks in Green Valley or Iceberg if you kept your speed up and went light on the edges.

They have been saying the 20th. But word is they're now looking at the 16th

**::: :::** · 11-12-2020, 11:26 AM

that's a killer shot whatever time of year

**glademaster** · 11-12-2020, 11:29 AM

I bought a Crystal pass and then moved to Colorado. Enjoy your 900" season.

That would be sweet. Got a whole lot of unused PTO that I need to burn before the end of the year.

Don't have a jig, but been contemplating 3D printing some mounting/drill guides for various bindings, and this would be a good excuse for me to finally do it. You'd probably get about 5-6 mounts per guide.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested and we can figure it out.
