February 17, 2014 - Crystal

No power, either generator or main power.  Mountain shut down until noon at the earliest. Possibly no opening today.

410 is closed uphill from what we hear.

We are some TAY folks standing in the lift line. Who's going to host the TAY party in their RV?

Skins?

Sadly, no.  Figured avy danger was to high. Didn't think I'd need skins in bounds.

Chinook just opened for free.  Guess they are trying to keep the people happy who are already here.

Bummer. Ironic that today there's to much snow in the mountains for some places.

Skins in the car is right up there with water, food & a sleeping bag

Here's the final scoop. They are running Chinook until 2pm. No other lifts will open. More importantly, Snorting Elk will not open either.

The issue today was power. There is a problem with the line from the generators to the base. Also, main power is out.

Tomorrow will be terrible at Crystal. I would strongly recommend that everyone stay home.

Tomorrow will be terrible at Crystal.

With the pent up demand from today and half the state taking the week off, you may be right, except for those first runs of course.
