And the weather... no temps below freezing overnight in the next two weeks - that gets to Nov. 7th. It would take a real cold snap coming through that next week to be able to make any snow.With all the work still going on, I don’t expect Nov 15skiing at TM.
The cold air is out there..lurking....trying to find a way to TM...we still have plenty of time b4 Tgiving.....meanwhile Tomorrow’s forecast high of 12° in Cheyenne, WY would obliterate the record 21° set in 1997. The forecast low is 1°, which would break a 147-year-old record of 5° from 1873 and a huge dump of snow will snuff out those fires in Co soon....And the weather... no temps below freezing overnight in the next two weeks - that gets to Nov. 7th.

The only slight change to trails I have noticed so far is when you get off the six pack they cut a path through the woods so you'll be able to immediately turn right to head over to Upper Dew and Twister. Still probably need to move ski patrol shack to make unloading area wider but maybe not until next year
When you come off the new path, you are looking at the top of Dew Drop straight ahead. I was looking for the small field that was there and the picnic table but didn't see either. It must cut through them.How far down did they cut it? Just through the evergreens or into (what used to be at least) the field?
Quad is probably 100 feet or so up the mountain (and a bit over towards Winterset) from the old spot. This allows skiers to get anywhere on the lower half of mtn without polling or skating. They definitely took out some trees around the beginning of lower dew to make that happen.must be some change at the top of the quad, at least re-routing, I would think. ??

Excavation going up Salamander and on the new teaching area.
Installing electric lines.
Note the new ski instructor Boot Up shed at the bottom of the teaching area.
I suspect it's going to be just to the left of the trench and right if the berm they built in the pic. That leaves large open area for teaching.Cant judge exactly how heights up yer at - but possible path of magic carpet?
