Not sure. The webcam hasn't shown much activity all week.

It looks to me like the webcam got stuck for a while. The date stamped on the picture above is 12/22. I just looked it up on their website and it is current, showing darkness right now.

By the way, has anyone heard how they are doing with getting people to visit? I know they had a bad year last year, but the first year and this year were and are good for snow.

The camera refreshes every 5 minutes. The shot posted is from last Saturday.
This Saturday's webcam didn't look much different.

Well, one has to wonder how long they will make it without much business. Skiing there is like skiing at a private resort, since not very many others are around.

I suppose that they are trying to attract California customers this year with the "free" lift tickets.

I think they ought to make the lower part of that mountain better connected with the upper part if they want more people to come.

At the point where you aren't bringing folks in at price point 'free', I think it's not as simple as connections on the mountain or what not.... There's a lot of reasons why Mt Holly, Elk Meadows, Eagle Point struggles, and we're continuing to see it today sadly. Wish them the best, but sure isn't looking great lately...
