It looks like we will be changing lower chairs AGAIN this summer. The new lower quad chair (Village Express) that replaced Echo will be running for bikes it looks like. This is awesome because not only is it faster than the gonjola but drops you off in the same place as Echo. Unconfirmed rumors: Our CA state DH has been upgraded to AMBC level which could mean a National in 06. Dan Warren park manager aquired a large trail building budget that includes having the single-track cutter for a full month (thanks Dan). Park made a nice little profit for it's second year in a row, and now there is talk of opening early. The snow is going fast so this could happen as long as we don't get any late snows in March/April. Now if they can just get a REAL bike shop there we are set.

Mike I already told you but will say it again, push for opening weekend to be put a week earlier or a week later. I'm going to the national in Deer Valley and its the same weekend as opening weekend at N* which sucks because I want to be at both.

Yeah now let's see if anyone here can name one winter where it DIDN'T dump like a beyotch in tahoe during march/april :rolleyes:

There was snow on the ground one week before opening last year.

Hey tranfrasierscend: Give me a heads up if you're in tahoe during the winter. I've always wanted an excuse to rent one of the snowbikes at northstar. Kind of pointless without someone to race/run over.
