SNOWMAKING UPDATE:

Outer limits is almost complete.  The grooming staff have pushed this trail out several times and requested a little more snow in spots.  Overnight, we will pull off this trail and allow them to dress it up for tomorrow's opening.

Turkey Shoot is semi open with guests skiing some of this area on natural and a little overspray from snow guns.  Putting a grooming tractor on it requires a little more snow...  We plan to run in this area today so we can till it out overnight tonight.  Once we till it, it will show up on our report as open.

Sunrise Glades is skiable in sections.  We plan to run the guns on skiers right of Upper Sunrise today and tonight and let the wind carry this snow into the glades.  Wind blowing across Acorn provide this opportunity. 

All good news!
