thinking about making the trip out from ohio for some early season park shredding if springs opens early enough, when do they usually open?
 
Last year they opened 12/4 but not this year :( theyre scheduled for the 16/17th right now but they could always open earlier if it stays cold
 
Talked to some of park crew over thanksgiving break. They said they are aiming for the 10th weather permitting. Latest would be the 17th.
 
is there going to be rails set up? and i think hidden valley is trying to open, so i may just go there to get some turns in
 
that is what it says on their website but how the hell r they gonnaa do that if they are like 10 minutes away from springs?
 
I heard theres going to be a few. I know hidden valley will be open too but it won't have rails. and @dmarc, springs probably would have enough snow to open by saturday but they didn't want to risk not opening like showshoe did last weekend.
 
They hyped up that they were going to open all week and at the last minute after it snowed alot and they showed they made alot they backed out and didn't open.
 
Would love to go and hit the springs in a week after finals, but I don't think it will be open by then. Bummered.

Also, does anyone know a 7 Springs rep for college students that can help get discounted season passes?
 
Pretty sure you just have to go to the pass office with proof you're a full-time student (currently taking 12 or more credits).
 
Depends a lot on the weather and if it stays cold and rain free through the end of December and January. Mid January would be my best guess at this point.
 
We can hope, but just for reference... Springs opened 12/4 last season and 12/24 was the first day the Alley was open. It takes a while to blow snow for the front face first and then worry about blowing snow on the back side and building features.
 
They might be having the new urban park out to showcase it, but don't expect any booters are anything.

should just be some smaller rails and such until we get a cold streak or a legit storm.
 
hidden valley is open today and tomorrow! $20. does anyone know if there are park features up? I wanna hit it up but not if theres just one slope and no rails
 
Today is only the magic carpet. Tomorrow is one or two lifts but no park features. I'm going to snowshoe tomorrow, they have a park setup and theres a ton of us going from springs. If you see a springs sticker say hi
 
ahh dam, i probably won't be able to drive down there tomorrow but are you hitting up the springs on saturday?
 
Not for a while unless we get a big storm or it stays cold enough to blow for a long time. At least a month.
 
Directly from an email from Springs... The slopes will be open during the following hours: 1-10 p.m., Fri., Dec. 16; 9 a.m.-10 p.m., Sat., Dec. 17; 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Sun., Dec. 18; and 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Mon., Dec. 19-Thurs., Dec. 22
