The mountain crew has been working feverishly getting ready for the opening. They are making snow, moving snow around from stashes to add to the bottom elevation, and with the addition of 6” of fresh recently, the hill is shaping up for and opening. There is a solid storm incoming, which promises to bring a significant installment to bolster all the efforts of the team. That precipitation is predicted to begin later tonight and extend through Saturday. It will be the shot in the arm that is needed to get the season rolling. The Yellow Jackets were really getting after it from very early in the Summer, which has often been a sign of a heavy weather winter. Still, I am doing my best inner visualizations of deep face shots, with the associated feeling of the snow wrapping around my body as I move through the medium. I feel good about the prospects for a great season ahead.

The hints I have been getting is of an opening Saturday. Stay tuned to the Bird site for official additional information. Think Deep Thoughts.
