On Tuesday November 22, I returned back to work at Sugarbush Resort, in preparation for opening day. Things were looking a little marginal, until a storm on November 23 dropped 8-10″ of snow on us. We worked hard today building ramps and shuttling crews up and down the mountain. Opening day is a go for Thanksgiving Day, November 24 2011. Downloading will again take place this year, and Downspout still has some thin spots that may get exposed as skier traffic takes its toll. Hopefully it’ll hold up but (unfortunately) we have some warmer temps moving in for the weekend. Hopefully temps stay in the lower 40s (or colder) up on the mountain and that more winter-like conditions will return next week. THINK SNOW AND COLD!!!
