    Mt. Waterman and Snowcrest/Kratka Ridge

    Very well said Mike! I know a letter was received from the Forest Service about possibly not being open long enough that was obviously in response to complaints from members of the public who are probably the ones posting negatively on this forum. It is so easy for us to sit here on our...

    Mt. Waterman and Snowcrest/Kratka Ridge

    Hey Mike! I hope you guys stop by the Ranch after for a beer. It was great to see all you Patrollers again. Hopefully better and longer next year. I'm thinking about enrolling in the EMT program out here in Palmdale so that maybe I can fill that weekday Patrol Director position for next year.

    Mt. Waterman and Snowcrest/Kratka Ridge

    Burn off has nothing to do with closing. It could still be open with great spring skiing as always. Closing is purely financial. I hiked Kratka the other day and it has great coverage. I have always felt Kratka with its compactness and roadside facilities would be the better choice to put in...

    Mt. Waterman and Snowcrest/Kratka Ridge

    No! Waterman is done for the season. The new owners were able to see what the ski business is all about and will now move into the summer months with an idea of what needs to get done. A lot more money needs to be spent and this season definatly didn't produce any revenues to be re-invested. So...

    Mt. Waterman and Snowcrest/Kratka Ridge

    I just want to point out I am not on the Waterman payroll. We talked about it, but the finances were just not there at this time the insure year round work with the medical benefits I need to take care of my family. I have been there every weekend running the bottom of Chair #1 to see old...

    Mt. Waterman and Snowcrest/Kratka Ridge

    I think it still holds up better than those other places as there is still tons of snow on most of the mountain, but it has to be groomed and maintained and that is not happening. They need and experienced cat driver with Pisten Bully knowledge. I am going to go up on Tuesday and see if I can...

    Mt. Waterman and Snowcrest/Kratka Ridge

    Bad News! Waterman is in pretty bad shape with lack of technical staff and some spots going bare and such so they will not operate tomorrow (Sunday). They only had like 38 people today and that is no where near breaking even. They are going to try and find someone who can do some quality...

    And these days you would probably spend another $49 in bypassing Waterman and going on to Bear/Summit in gas alone. I believe weekend rates at Mt. High are now $62.00 and Bear/Summit is at $64.00 All I can ask is that you look at the $49.00 as a contribution to the Saving Mt. Waterman project...

    Roads are not a problem, Bike race was last weekend. From Santa Barbara take 101 I guess through Ventura up Conejo Pass to 23 towards Moorpark then take 118 till it ends at 210 then towards Pasadena and get off on Angeles Crest Hwy in La Canada and go up 34 miles to MW. Be sure to stop at...

    Waterman can add some weekdays if we can find some Patrollers. Weekends are no problem with the Nationals, but have no one at this point for midweek.

    It is friday night and everything is a GO! Lifts open at 8:30 (hopefully...lol). I don't know what is up with single ride prices but I'm sure Roberto is correct as he is an owner.

    Mt. Waterman and Snowcrest/Kratka Ridge

    Hey Snowave, No, we are not going to be open during the weekdays right now until the weekend business grows and people know we are back in business. Like I said before they got about $500K into this and funds are running short so can't afford the 30 skiers per day like Lynn did for now. Once...
