Has some info.

What's the best board? Can it butter, press, jump and run spines in AK? Does it have Magnetraction? I need that for ice.

hmm, I looked everywhere on the mt. high site, including forums, and there's no confirmation of snowmaking for april 10

...although, they're very flexible and I'm guessing they're just waiting to see if they get real snow. So, they probably will blow some

I doubt that they will blow anything at this point. They've scheduled to close on 4/12 so blowing probably won't make sense for them.

So who went today?

It was crowded and slushy. Then the fog/clouds came in and reduced visibility to practically zilch. Not as much snow fell last night as I had hoped. We were out of there just before 2.

If they stay open, I'll probably be there on Tuesday as well.

I really hope they're open on Tuesday. It's not every day the group VP at work approves a staff appreciation day trip to Mt. High.

I was there in the morning 8-11 am on Saturday. Not as great as I've hoped but pretty good riding regardless. Good way to closeout the 08-09 season.

Well then the VP is going to be disappointed as well since she's coming with us. Muahahaha.
