Rough year so far, but Purg hit its opening day, spinning chair 2 and downloading on the 6 pack. They also spun chair 4 for mountain bikes. THAT is a new one...

From the parking lot, no real snow was visible anywhere on the mountain. It looked pretty grim.

When there isn't any natural stuff, you can't fault the man made...

680 vertical later you reach the end of the white.

I've had better openers, but it was pretty heroic that they got anything going at all. They had basically a 30 hour window to blow snow with super warm weather bookending each side.No huge crowds, no thin cover, just skiing. Rock on.
