November catches ORDA by surprise again.

There are work arounds on the 28 day breaks tests... high /early mix deigns etc.. if 7 day (or 14) breaks hit design strength they'll be good to go. Hopefully someone was thinking ahead
 
Here are a couple of picture of the Stratton Snow Bowl HSQ install on Dec 9,2018. The cable has not yet been run.
It opened on Jan 5, 2019.

AFAIK the HP bullwheel has still not been placed. Based on the Stratton schedule, it seems like it won't be available until after Xmas or later.

I'm gonne revise my over/under to January 31.

The pour for the HP upper terminal foundation was done on November 19, and that probably needs to cure for 28 days. That means the terminal may not be placed until December 17, and by the same schedule as Sunway, the cable won’t be spliced until December 30, and the lift won’t be available until January 27!

The title of this thread is true, but I will say that new lifts are often not ready until just before Christmas, and even sometimes after. I've seen it a few times but have no idea why this is the case.
 
Meanwhile, I've given up trying to buy a van Ho season pass online because of shopping cart issues. Keep getting a message "something went wrong please try again." I called the IT help desk person, and they're like, maybe you should download a new browser. Ended up purchasing my pass over the phone.
 
Well, if you think ORDA is bad, check out Hunter's website these days. Any Vail property directs you right into an Epic pass sales pitch. You really have to try hard to find out the specific mountain's info is at the moment. I mean, Hunter opened, they were't open today, I'll give you that, but, it's finally cold enough to start making snow like only they can for almost a week, maybe more. Any news, any pictures, anything? Nope. It's so lame. God, I hate that company. I really do. But, I own a pass of their's.
