Sunday River Update 11/29/11


Strait from the site: 
The theme for this week? Expansion. No doubt you saw our snowgun assault on the mountain--if you need a reminder, check out the pictures on Facebook. The snowmakers have been resurfacing the Punches while expanding terrain in South Ridge and over into White Cap. The bad news is that we weren't able to open Wildfire today, but patrol is confident we can open it tomorrow. We needed just a bit more snowmaking to make the connection from Cascades. Otherwise, for the weekend, look for Upper Risky Business, Tempest, and more expansion in South Ridge.
We're making snow tonight along Roadrunner, Moonstruck, and Starlight so we're ready to open the White Cap Quad Saturday morning to offer ski-out access from the Summit Grand Hotel. Spruce Triple will run as well, giving us a total of five lifts this weekend with access to even more terrain. Now onto the park. The crew is flattening the Jib Park--did you see those mounds of snow??--to get started in there, but they're also rebuilding the park on Upper Punch, offering up more double features, rails, and boxes. The total? Possibly over 15. And, you might see some parks crew activity over on Starlight and in Rocking Chair tomorrow and this weekend. It's like a race to see which park they'll open up first. Our money is on Starlight. Stay tuned.
The Barker Mountain Express and South Ridge Express will start turning tomorrow at 9am. Lift ticket prices are now $49 for adults, $39 for teens, and $29 for juniors and seniors. Purchase or pick up your season pass at South Ridge.
