Crabbe is opening this weekend...
We received all snow from this last storm, but the wind certainly wasn't our friend lastnight. We managed to squeeze 15cm out of the storm, which was desopisted in some wacky ways around the mountain. Some areas have thick coverage while others look a little thin. Groomers have been out packing down the new snow and snowmaking is scheduled to start up as soon as temps drop. Saying that, we will be open this weekend with skiing and riding on the Beginner Hill with the possibility of having Dave's Dream. Dave's is dependant on when we can get snowmaking on the go and how much snow we can get made. Crews have made a lot of snow on the upper part, but the lower section is in need of a man-made snowstorm. Stay tuned, we'll have another update on www.crabbemountain.com shortly after noon hour tomorrow. Before i forget, lastnights storm is a great reminder to get your winter tires on your vehicle ASAP. I got to try mine out lastnight and they worked great! - SB
