That's just a crazy idea, for a ski area to wait that long to have a grand opening, and we kind of get a kick out of it.

It's amazing how long you can ski powder in here. Sometimes even days after a storm.

We're looking to get comfortably through April. As for May, we'll see. Last year, I made turns on this hill on May 15 on all-natural snow.

The best way to describe this place is like a big skate park on snow.

I'd like to provide a place where the kids feel like it is their place.

I grew up in Mammoth Lakes, and they shot an episode up there, and I was hanging around when I was on the ski team. I was very, very involved in athletics, so I didn't watch a lot of TV, but I definitely watched a lot of '90210.'
