Millicent Closing Sweeps (night)

Milly Night Skiing

These instructions are still rough! Contact Steve if you want to help improve them.

Turning on lights and early closures

1. At 1530 or 1600 (never later than 1600), close and sweep Backbone and Milly Bowl:
   • At Milly Top:
     • Close the Milly Bowl entrances.
     • Close access to Backbone.
   • South Sweeps:
     • South Boundary (Sobo): Sweep Milly Bowl, Scree, and Needles (not the M&M).
     • Signline: Sweep Backbone, Devil's Dip (rotate closure sign), Little Milly, Lone Pine (visually), and Wee Willow (rotate closure signs).
2. At 1600 or after the above tasks have been completed:
   • North Sweeps:
     • North Boundary: Close Back Backdoor, rotate the closure sign on the trail that leads up to Backbone, and close the Weir. Sweep North Boundary. Rotate any arrows and closed signs along the way (are there any?).
     • Main Runs and Lights:
       • Turn on the single light switch on the outside of the Milly Top Op shack (labeled "Night Lights").
       • Turn on the lower lights in the pump house.
         • As you ski to the pump house, rotate the closure signs above Chutes 1 and 2 and a couple above and to the left of the pump house.
         • There is a combination lock on the pump house door (ask someone for the combo). There is a huge step into the room!
         • Wait ~5 seconds between flipping the six switches. A green LED below the switches indicates everything is okay and an amber light means there was a problem.
         • Lock the door and stow the key when you are done.
       • Rotate arrows and closed signs as you ski to the base (e.g., leading to Christy's, etc).
       • Confirm that the lifties turned on the "Milly Base Lights" breaker in the bottom shack.
   • South Sweep: See above.

At closing (this is very rough):

1. • Turn off the lights on the outside of the Milly Top Op shack (Lift Maintenance will turn off the lights at the pump house).
   • Closing Sweeps:
     • Backdoor: Open the Back Backdoor closure. Sweep Backdoor and Canyon to Milly base.
     • Mains: Sweep Backbone and Main Runs to Milly base. Rotate the closure signs along the way. Hum, this may take two people because someone needs to rotate the closure signs leading to Wee Willow.
     • Super: Go through the M&M.
     • All three closing sweepers should pull closures and rotate arrow and closed signs during their sweeps.
