A quick answer to a few questions

A quick post before I go home and try to finish my loads of laundry.  There have been a few questions thrown my way and here are some answers:

Will there be a park on payday this year.

Yes there will be, as soon as we get enough snow on that run to be able to keep a good base. This year the snowmaking team installed fan guns that run from the drift road down payday run.  We will have features in our normal spot below drift road as soon as we are confident that we won't be in the snowmakers way as they make snow. 

What will the opening features be, what parks will be open?

We will have a park on homerun just above the alpine coaster like we did last year at the beginning of the season.  At this point there are no plans to have anything else open on opening day other than those features in that area of homerun.  If mother nature blesses us with deep storms, that would speed up the process of getting the normal parks up and running but for the time being we will be looking at 5-8 features for opening week.

Thank you for your questions and if you have any others,  send them my way!  I usually get to them on a daily basis at this point, and then when we get more snow I will be able to get to them every couple days or so :)

I have a question. I heard from one of the workers in the season pass office that Burton was going to be doing the Kings Crown Park. Is this true?

Jarom, no this is not true. We have our on mountain sponsors, but we design our own parks.

Thanks for the update.
Will you be able to get a down rail put in right away? Something on the more advanced side for opening week?
Also is there any events scheduled for December? Jan? the calander of events dosent have much.

Mike Replies:
Dan, at this point in time we haven't sat down for that meeting. It also depends on how much snow we have for opening day. That area of the mountain (Homerun above the slide) isn't the best area for advanced and tech features as it is relatively flat. But again, the more snow we have the more we are able to build slope into the opening park and the more we are able to do as far as the speed issue is concerned. As far as events go, I'll be making a blog post in the near future about the events this season as well as the events calendar should be updated to reflect those events in the near future as well.
