The Stepping it up" doenst apply to their snowmaking. Granted they are really good at getting it open, but thats all. Me and a friend were skiing on lookout and we stopped for a second at the top of the hill above the pipe, and we noticed some dirts. We dug down with our poles and after about 1 inch we hit dirt. Solid dirt and grass. They advertise 40-60" base they better have it and it a lot of spots they dont. They brag so much about their snowmaking they should at least be able to make eneough so we dont hit fucking dirt in January.
