Even though I
knew that today was going to be a nippy morning on the mountain and I still somehow managed to forget my neck gaiter at home. Not the smartest thing, but it didn't stop me from getting some great turns in and also getting my first ride on our brand new Crescent Lift.
Speaking of the Crescent Lift, today was the first day ever for our new lift. This is a photo of the first chair, and I mean FIRST CHAIR EVER! I can personally vouch that it's a great ride - smooth, quiet, beautiful view and fast.
I wound up taking two runs down Crescent run too, check out this photo of RD cranking out some fast powder turns on skiers right - I don't how he managed to keep from freezing his face off even if he is from Montana!
After several more runs of great skiing, I decided that it would be wise to head down to spend some time with my family. Particularly as we need some time to prepare for this evening when we're heading over to the Town Lift Plaza to watch Santa come down in his Town Lift sleigh and get a picture with him. Santa will arrive at about 6:15pm, but there are plenty of other fun holiday activities, see the entire schedule below or visit our calendar of events page.

when is the whole Jupiter area going to be open
Eric replies:
Layne, if you read Mark's (406) post from yesterday, http://parkcity.typepad.com/park_city_mountain_resort/2008/12/wind-and-snow-and-wind.html you can get an idea of what our snow safety team is dealing with - a very unstable snowpack. Hopefully we'll have a better idea of when Jupiter may open after this next storm cycle, but it does look to be a bit longer right now. As always, as soon as we have any info we'll post it here!

where exactly does this new lift go to, does it make it faster to get to the back country, and is there ever a chance of pc getting a gondola
Eric replies:
Hi flen, the new Crescent Lift starts from the Resort Base area and runs to the top of Crescent and Silver Skis runs, providing easy access to Silverlode, Bonanza and King Con lifts in addition to all the terrain serviced by Ski Team lift.
I believe that a gondola is in the long term master plan of the resort, but I have not heard of a definite time frame for when it will go in.
