O ye of little faith. There are season passes good until the end of the season in need of selling :)
Frankly, I think the new snow next week will draw crowds, and there’s no way 8-12 of natural will hold up for long over bare ground. Also, there’s a USSA open (Mug) race scheduled for March 26th that’s been cancelled the past 2 years. Perhaps they hope they can get that in with this additional snowmaking.
The only trail that could probably use the portable guns is Super Nova as there are still school groups coming in next week.

OK, so call me “ye of little faith”. I accept that and hope you are right!
(Couldn’t help but notice, that the sluice in the snowmaking pond is down at summer levels!)
And while I agree that next week’s snow will help, the old adage goes, “an inch of natural in January will outlast a foot in March.” In March, the new snow rarely has time to set up. Never-the-less: If we’re open, I’ll probably be here!
