Still a bit of greasing left, still hanging chairs, stretching the rope for the tow this week.

Ajax Mountain and Snowmass Opens on Thursday.

Snowmass will open with the Village Express to the midstation. No access from top of Sams Knob as of right now. Skycab will also be running.

I'm not sure what trails will be open on Ajax for opening day but I assume the Gondi and Ajax Express will be running. With downloading at the end of the day on the Gondi.

I know it's sad but it's all we have near by (240' of vertical). Mt Bohemia with 900' of vertical is the best we have in this state.

They went to strech our rope yesterday and found 75' missing. I lucked out on the splices, but have spent 5 long days in the cat.

Cannon Mt., NH opens tomorrow with 3 lifts and several trails. We had a great run with cold temps for snowmaking, but it has since warmed up.

Late lift opening this morning. Do I need to say anymore about the weather up at Snowmass?

It's snowing there as I speak.

We are finally starting to get some snow in Denver. Got 2-3 inches overnight in the southern suburbs. It is getting up to the mountains as well.
