Well maybe you know this, and are asking for more info, but the website says:

"Operational status from March 23rd and beyond is yet to be determined. We appreciate your patience as we monitor the weather and its impact on our terrain. Our team of groomers will be working hard to maintain our snow base, keeping this phenomenal season going as long as possible!"

Even with the miserable forecast for this week, they should have enough snow on the blacks and most of Sally to open them. Whether it makes business sense to open is prolly the biggest factor...

Did they need to groom out OTW to keep the base up, or is it still bumped up?

There seemed to be an absurd amount of snow on OTW when we left last weekend.

It has good snowmaking and it is in a sheltered, north-facing direction - helps a lot with snow preservation.

In general, The Drop is a better spring bump run since it gets more sun, allowing for softer conditions a greater part of the day. But, TM made no where near as much snow on The Drop as OTW. Hopefully, they expand snowmaking on The Drop next year. I think it was the last trail to open this year.

Supposedly decided today. They are open today.

Ran across a few people you know yesterday on the deck. :ogbiggrin:
That's what I heard, they know better now. :ogbiggrin:
Another one of my peeps was there on Saturday for the rail jam. I hope TM reopens next weekend so I can get some of my other peeps out there.
How was OTW yesterday after it softened up?

Really hoping to get out there next Saturday if they are open. If they are not open may have to hit snowshoe for the first time this year.

Looks like they'll be open on Saturday. I should be there to close out the season.

Wonder if Jimmy is booked for this weekend? It took several months to get my last appointment with Jimmy, but when I finally did get to meet with him it included a visit with Dr. Bighair.

Interesting - I would assume the most of the people who will be at TL on Saturday would rather ski bumps on OTW than ski Sally.

Well, looks like life is going to get in the way of a Saturday trip to TL. Still considering Snowshoe for Sunday depending on the forecast.

Yep, as long as this stays parked, OTW will be safe.
