Will all snowmaking trails open this year?

This has obviously been a tough Winter in terms of weather, and Sunday River has once again shown they are the best in the business when it comes to snowmaking. No complaints here at all. That said, they are clearly behind schedule on opening terrain, and there are many expert trails that require a lot of resources that still haven't seen snowmaking. In an average year, most of the expansion/base building is done by around the end of January. Will the mountain be forced to forgo snowmaking on any major routes this year? I would hate to see a trail like Shockwave not open, but it has certainly been a tough year for snowmaking budgets, and I am guessing it would be February before they could get to all of them. Curious people's thoughts, particularly from the mountain, assuming they even know the answer at this point.

Well, I never saw the rope come off of Tightwire either, but that was likely just an oversight as there was racing all day wednesday on MM which usually closes tightwire due to it's exit by the finish line on MM.

 Snowmaking is taking a few days off but will come back on for this weekend as we near 100 days of snowmaking this season.

 

This was from today's report. 

 

 Really the only thing that has mattered  to me all year, well opening early was big.
