Little Mtn. Sports host the Mentor Rail Jam Friday Sept 19th i Mentor Ohio at the town rec center diring some sort of local community festival. I judged it a few years back, it was very well done. A big HV hits it each year and you learn more at the HV forum about the deal and perhaps some ride...

Don't shoot the messenger, Park Closed today for obvious reasons. Should be back up as soon as tomorrow evening depending on how quickly the colder temps roll in. This roller coaster year is wearing me down brother. Thinking of a VT. trip soon to re stoke the fire!

Just so everyone understands. The Last Chair Party is an hour long event. The chair will load those with RB tickets and KB tickets only after patrol sweep at 10:00, this will be around 10:30, placing the last chair for the Last Chair party to the top around 11:00. at midnight the chariot turns...

Good points, agree on the pow front. Stop the brutal grooming was a popular bumper sticker out west when I lived in big sky country. Perhaps a re-issue of these is in order. I found some on the sides and just beyond, but for many carryspeed and brushing away tree limbs is not an option so they...

Not sure of the setup, may make it out later to scope it out. I reralize this report would be more helpful were it delivered yesterday but the information just became available. Snowing dogs and cats out here.

Mr. X, your note has printed and hand delivered to the manager of the Ticket Centre. A dedicated customer service desk is something that we have wanted for years, who knows, perhaps someday. As to rentals, not available here, they are available at the Colden Ski Shop just down the road, K2 and...

Typo corrected, thanks for the heads up. Any of you competing in the USASA boarder/skier X coming up at HV in a week or so? I spoke with the USASA head and skiers are welcome, even meathead geezer telemark racers! How is the course at HV if anyone has ridden it, or if indeed it even exists yet?

You may hold me to fire on all typos, hacking away at the keyboard as things are open, then closed, then opened again, all over the map of late. My apologies for the typos. Email me when you spot them so I can fix them. Often these updates are done before 6am and my first of many redbulls, can't...

Everyday is gaper day at KB!

The features, and I am not a park guy, so cut me some slack on the lingo, are... Uprail to Diesel tank to flatbox to some other rail to rainbow box. (I think). They are in a line and look to have a nice flow going on. They were just getting to final prep and grooming when I hiked up so I can not...

Wed. at HV for 4.00 bucks, I will be calling in sick! While the Man is a conservative gent and not willing to announce an opening at KB just yet, I would recomend being prepared to ski on Friday somewhere South of Cloden in the Glenwood Valley.

We hope to be able lay down lots of snow through the week and open with a quality product on Friday of next week, subject to weather of coursse, natural snowfall etc. The chances to open on the 7th are very good from where I sit. That is pretty much the average opening day, but with the forecast...

They made a good amount of snow on Coal Chute this weekend, I would guess that with another 24 to 36 hours of cold air it would have been enough to open. Looks like another cold air mass is on the way and with it a better chance for significant lake effect. I would not rule out this weekend, but...

KB/Langmen will be providing the rails and set up for the Save the Snow Jam with Phatman at Fredonia on the 2nd. The "snow will come from the rink on campus or with the cold air moving in we could have some good old Lake Effect going on. I hope it is poorly attended as everyone will be off...

Turns out the blew the mice outta the lines over the weekend, not anything but a test run, but a positive sign never the less.
