Unfortunately, there is just not enough snow this season. The cat tracks off the chair is in pretty rough shape. The “Starway to Heaven” is beside the Cat Track from Hell. My gut is that this hill would be brilliant on a big snow year for stronger skiers. It does not seem like a good hill for people beyond the bunny hill but looking for blue groomers. I don’t think this season is going to play out well. They need some big dumps.
