    Im gonna say I must have gotten almost as much as Scott. I actually started as rain. Lots of water content. I must have not paid attention very well because for some reason i thought it would be a drier snow. I hovered around 32-34 all day. My south facing driveway, FTMFW!!! The plow pile sucked. It was a sponge that absorbed all the water from the snow melt running down the side of the road

    Well, it was beautiful for a brief moment this morning, but we had some wind gusts, and the temp right around 32, the snow has come off the trees. It was a nice little event

    I have to say, right now is what I envision a classic winter scene to look like. The snow is caked on everything. It is beautiful. It took all the way until March 2nd to finally get here.

    James Jack pot?

    Yup, it sure is. The employees of The Yellowstone Club get passes to Big Sky because they arent allowed to ski/ride at Yellowstone Club for recreational purposes. TYC, sets aside one day per year for employee use. The rest of the time they ski/ride Big Sky.

    Wow, what an asshole move. Another reason why it sucks so bad to be an employee...company owners making the huge profits, abuse their employees and suck the life out of everyone for the sake of big profits. Funny thing is, if you treat your employees with respect and offer flexibility so employees can deal with everyday life and not have to worry about losing their job or a paycheck, you create a positive work environment and a productive work environment.

    They have some snow making. From what I gather, Tenney is just a small piece of a much bigger project. Mike Bouchard used to be more open about it on FB, but got scammed and then there was a legal battle. The restaurant is open and they have live entertainment. Im not sure where his funding comes from, but it may be related to when he was an engineer/rocket scientist working on gvt contracts. He is a pretty interesting dude. Def the type you want to sit and have a beer with and pick his brain.

    Big Sky is trying like heck to finish construction of their Ram Charger 8- largest capacity lift in NA, and first of its kind...they finished installing the towers. But the first big winter storm is moving in. They usually dont open until Thanksgiving, but they are quickly running out of time. My buddy works as a lift electrician for the private Yellowston Club. He told me the Ramcharger 8 is behind schedule.

    The only thing i could find was from the end of June. Once Majella was charged with fraud, the nonprofit strepped back into the game of trying to acquire saddleback

    I enjoy following Tenney Mtn and Mike Bouchard on FB. Hope he is successful!
  22. #NoPoles
    Dammit, I was hoping the Balsams would be a go. Also this summer, the CEO of the Australian investor Group- Majella, that bought Saddleback in ME, was arrested for investor fraud. So...the ressurection of Saddleback is teetering on the edge of destruction...however, the non-profit group that was founded with the intention of trying to buy Saddleback, is now back in the game....fingers crossed, such a great place to ski!

    Ray took some live video via FB yesterday and it shows how deep the snow is with his ruler, and it also shows how much is piled up cars etc...it is a great visual reference

    I think you should share your pics and live video with Harvey and Eric so that they can get a visual.

    Blue Hills had a weather conference that winter. My friend and I went, and that's where I met scituatewx. Paul Kocin was there. We all went up to the observatory and my friend and I hung out with Kocin and watched the radar, and basically cried together. If there had been a bar in the observatory we would have been drunk.
