Looks like the Peak chair is open but TOTW is still not. Anyone know if TOTW will be open during Crankworx?

Isn't it still under 20ft of snow?

Looks snow-free based on the Webcams
Nice to see they are creating that new Gatorade Skills Park thing near Fantastic/Out of Sight. I think this was long overdue as the other skills park type areas were pretty lacking relative to the overall (large) size of the WBP.

I think the 2 new jumps & the A-line simulator jump will help riders build progression.
Are the upper parking lots open during the summer and accessible via the Excelerator gondola? I noticed that it seems to be running but not sure if that is only if you have a sightseeing lift ticket. And if it is open for parking, do they let you take your bike in there? Just wondering if that's an option if the lower lots are full. Obviously could just bike back up worst case scenario...
Lot 6 and 7 were open last weekend and you can use Excelerator for free to get back up there....one catch no bikes allowed in Excelerator.
Do they always close at 5 past the long weekend? Can't remember if it's a hard set thing or changes from time to time. Been wanting to get out after working in town but not gonna be much point if they close at 5
Heading up tomorrow for the first time in like 5 years. Stoked!
Anyone with inside knowledge know if/how many new trails will open in Creekside this summer? Rumours at least?

The fitzsimmons quad is being replaced by an 8 person lift. I wonder if there will be 2 back-to-back bike-carrying chairs to to one people-carrying chair. That would increase efficiency but also increase confusion.
no need for separate bike chairs (nor lifties)

Good stuff, flip with the inside knowledge, thanks dude. Stoked to see the new stuff especially what they build off TOTW toward MON/Kashmir. There's enough going on now that a full day on Garbo/Creekside with no Fitz is pretty appealing to me (previously would do one TOTW into Khyber, RDS or MissFire/Delayed/BC's). Just have to decide if the trail bike is up for a Garbo smashing haha. 1199 drop looks beyond my comfort zone but hopefully can ride the rest of the track.
