Just finished up with opening weekend! What a rush and back into the season of waiting for the phone call in the middle of the night,
"my cat is bleeding red and the buzzers don't stop buzzin'! But hey boss it's all good, I made it back to the top of the hill before it stopped completely!"
Got a couple of cats on the hill without much problems, a little cleaning of the f-n-r's and calibration cleaned up the sticks on one and replaced the tiller motor seal and gearbox seals and we're back in business. Closed for this next week, so should be finishing up with cat 3 and 4 and will have the fleet back in form, take a break on thursday for some turkey and then let the season begin. Snowmaking temps are not great in the near forecast but have enough piles to make up 5 or 6 runs with 18 - 26 inches of base.
