Thats exactly like our list, but also add some new snowmaking and electrical lines, exchanging out some tower equipment, and getting the snowmaking equipment up and ready. I am sure the feelings are mutual.

We still have two bullwheels on the ground. No high or low voltage controls in two lifts. And also waiting for comm line replacements on two lifts - which means re-wiring the entire tower and station circuits. Only line service we have left is the T-Bar.

Our top ten key words this fall.. "Prioritize" "Safely Defer" "September Already" "Longer Weeks" "Hurry up" and " Snowmaking?" (chuckling)

We'll get it all done, but I'm scrambling to get the last stuff on Storm King and Resolution that I need a truck for as snowmaking is going whole hog on Copperopolis.

Winter is a scheduled event ...It is marked on the calendar. It arrives on time like a German train. Now the first winter event can be surprizing like a cold slap to the face.

Load tested Motherlode yesterday and Paradise the day before... a few minor things to deal with (like signs, phones, etc.) and we're ready to rock!
