Maybe it wasn't an accident.
From another site: "An employee was killed and being on federal rezervation land they can't open to the public until all federal level legal investigations and proceedings have concluded, so they will probably not be open at all for this winter season."
Tribe: Sunrise Park ski resort to open Friday despite Facebook post announcing closing - Resort officials are investigating if the Facebook post was created by a disgruntled employee fired on Wednesday.
It was probably this guy who used to work at Walgreens.

Yeah, it wasn't too bad all things considered. I had fun and got to give the legs a workout.
My wife and I spent the last four days at Snowbowl and have been impressed with what they have done given the lack of snow. The operations crew are earning their keep and Valcano, Northstar and the bowl side are skiing well all thinges considered. It looks like the ridge side will be open soon and they are blowing snow on Humphreys now.
We also saw James Coleman today on the slopes and in the Hart Prairie Lodge, I assume checking on construction and ops.

@KingGrump Is it time to cancel Feb 2 in Taos?
No. Not yet.
Things are looking a little bleak now. It'll get better.
I'll there from Jan 3 onward.
I have seen early season snow this low many times as a Taos regular. Be patient, its going to get better.

I got out today with my daughter and man, I’m totally impressed with what Snowbowl is doing with the circumstances. Ridge opened up today too and it looks like the Humphrey’s pod is next. The skiing was surprisingly very good with nice, edgable soft snow. I’m stoked to get back up again tomorrow.
Favorable change coming...

"A change in weather pattern may loom in early January, potentially bringing increased chances for precipitation to the Southwest. The latest 8- to 14-day precipitation outlook from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center indicates above-average precipitation probabilities for much of the Southwest in the Jan. 4-10 period."

The wife and I are scheduled to be in Durango for a few days from Jan 20th. The skiing will be free on our Power passes, but the hotel is prebooked and paid for, so we are somewhat locked in to the trip. Does anyone have an update on the current conditions at Purgatory? It looks like Telluride is in poor shape going by the other thread .
Snow in the forecast at Purg. Should be skiing good enough by Jan 20. Forget about it and have a nice trip.

I wasn't going to do it... but I did. After you folks were saying the skiing was actually decent, I just had to hear the sound of my boots clicking in on a bluebird day at Snowbowl. I went up there today and had a great time. With all the lower parking lots full as I wound my way up the road (this totally surprised me, I figured not too many would go up there this Holiday break due to lack of snow) I discovered that the upper mountain was not crowded at all. The snow really was quite decent. Yes, they have done a remarkable job creating and maintaining those runs. Maybe I will get up there again next week. Why not? And when some real snow covers the area a bit more, I'll take the Renouns that I have yet to try!

Nice Kimberlin! Surprisingly good right? Anyways as mentioned above there is a possible pattern change around the 7th. Burn some skis, buy a mountain bike or do a dance, hopefully we get some precipitation.
