Wow Johnny those are huge improvements! Can't wait to rip Polaris-Northstar top to bottom.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm hoping we get to race on it! I think it's in the plans.

Good race trail for sure but certainly not for spectators. Hopefully they don't race it on the weekend when I'm there
Anyway seems like it's gonna be one the best runs in NY. One of my other favorites is Sagamore at Gore.

I went down to Bristol today to get a replacement pass and my locker combination-want to be ahead of the first day rush. Got a chance to walk around the new Sunset lodge addition-wow! The rental shop is now in there which goes right out to the bunny slope and Sunset chair-perfect for funneling 1st timers out to the appropriate terrain. There's a new lounge area, new deck with fire pits and a Starbucks.
So far, no snowmaking on the observable front side, but we're getting close.

Guns cranking on Rocket (and possibly the Loop). Snowmaking window looks good through Monday. Pure speculation, but I'm thinking possibly a Tuesday opening. I'm sure they'd like to be able to open before Thanksgiving-it would be the first time in a quite a few years if it happens.

I was right for once! Opening tomorrow at 9:00 with both Rocket and the series of trails known collectively as the Loop. Nice to have a lower angle slope open to get the the legs moving again rather than the sprint down Rocket for the first run.Skis (a couple pairs anyway) are in the locker, now to assemble the rest of the gear.

Best opening day I can remember in a long long time! Rocket and the Loop had great coverage and softened up nicely in the sun. Great to have the Loop to get the ski legs going. Skied for about 1.5 hours and the legs said ' enough for today, come back tomorrow". By the time I got off the slope at about 10:45 it had cleared out pretty well.
