There was about an inch on our side of the range this morning, sure made for a slippery drive in. Doesn't make grip inspection easy, either (L-lift, fixed Poma)

Yeah about a half inch here but it was gone completely by noon in town. I imagine that grip inspection is significantly hampered by the snow. Hopefuly it holds off until all pre-ops work is done for the county then the clouds can open up.

If we get any more snow we're gonna have to pull out a skidoo! I was very close to not making it up the mountain on the four-wheeler today!

We got over an inch in about half an hour. Before and after! (The after pic wasn't all the snow, just how hard it was snowing)
And as a bonus, you can see our newly installed gussets on the carriers!! *shudder*

Are you shuddering because you have gussets, or becaue you still have those carriers at all? :devil: Looks like the Interior got pounded eh?
We had a nice stretch of weather this week, my partner and I worked and extra day to take advantage of it. I need at least another week of sun, and I wouldn't mind more just so I can continue to drive up the hill in a truck and not on a four-wheeler. Is that selfish or what?

Jeebus!! Hasn't come down that hard here (yet). Those gussets look nice by the way.

Not selfish at all John! In a perfect world, the snow would all come at once (preferably a couple days before opening) and we'd have nice weather all the way up until then. Buggy rides are cold too, and it's hard to ride a buggy and drink a cup of coffee. :devil:
