I don’t know if they are waiting to open Timber until the 12th, but frankly I’d be glad since maybe the snow coverage this year will be better…last year it opened at about the same time as the old side and the ski-outs were brutal.

December 12th is still relatively early season; Gives the locals a couple weeks before holiday madness anyway. [/quote:32c4urwj]

Actually, last year they opened the whitepass, with downloading on the timber chair then a few weeks later the old side opened.

I don’t see why they would hold off on opening the new side when the conditions are excellent. Besides just being cheap, and not opening the lifts to keep operation costs down..this is not an excuse… I paid for a seasons pass with the understanding that when conditions permit the terrain will open??? Oh well, I guess we will just have to wait and see what RCR has in store for us……….
