I appreciate everyone's apologies for claiming I was in the wrong for complaining that Wilmington wasn't open in years past. Now you're doing the same thing. At the rate they're going, knows if that or even Skyward will open at all this season.
This is stupid.
With the weather being what it's been this season, no one is expecting that the Wilmington Trail or even Skyward should be open by now. Snowmaking temps finally returned this past Saturday, and they were making a lot of snow on Parons, Easy Street, Victoria and in a few other places. Prior to that, we had 10 days IN A ROW with above freezing temperatures, and lots of rain.
Rational people don't expect miracles when we've had the kind of weather pattern that we've had so far this season, BUT, when the opportunities do present themselves, we do expect the system to work. The problem now, is that beginning on Sunday, snowmaking stopped, apparently due to a failure of some kind, as usual, and at this point, appears to be somewhat limited based on the reports from others earlier in this thread. This would have made no difference at all in getting your beloved Wilmington Trail open, or Skyward. Again, rational people understand that.
At this point, it would be nice to have Essex & maybe Wilderness open, and better cover on a couple of other trails, so that there might be something left to ski over this next above normal temperatures period.
