Oh, and you misread. It doesn't say they are expecting 24-36"... it says they need that much to open...
"So, we’re still looking for about 24” – 36” of snow (depending on temp it falls at) on the ground before we can begin operating the lifts. But as you all know, that can happen overnight at Baker. Our crews are on 24 hour standby and we are ready for when that snow starts to fall!"
