probably 4 here. White Christmas.

this week coming up almost looks like a repeat of last week, but might stay cold right up to Christmas. if this pans out, Christmas week should be really good.

Hunter opened up some new lift yesterday. i wasnt there, but i thought some might find that to be interesting news.

quite the piles on Come around. mow that shit down and open her up.

How does one transfer the Blue Mountain buddy passes? we do have 2 by the way, i just checked. i think you transfer them to someones email address? Can they just sit on them for a while? like if i transfer them now, can they pick a day like 2 months down the road?

They are back on. But i did see that as well.

How was falls coming along?

Mann Music Center.

i went and saw them too, and it had to be the reunion tour around 1986. i cant for the life of me remember where though. wasnt at vets stadium. for some reason i think it was in like Bryn Mawr. Outdoors. sat on the lawn. very crowded. Could have jumped a fence.

i was expecting mainly snowmaking on existing trails as a refresh. looks like a few sporadic guns on the existing trails, with the lower part of razors going, and it looks like upper upper main, and a patch down towards lower. i think conditions today might be firm.

Very much so. this is starting to get reminiscent of last year. I think we are a little better off right now, but after this rain resources will go to refresh whats open, then new stuff. Rinse and repeat for next week.

I took time out of my busy day on Monday, as there was a survey in my email, to remind the wonderful people at blue mountain that we dont like that.

I hope there weren't any lines. The trail count and lift count are almost the same.

yeah but at the same time if you go put new tires on your truck that will pretty much guarantee 50 and sunny for the balance of winter.

i was gonna ask if anybody had seen the top of Lazy to see how much snow was there. this will be a nice addition. well, at least to spread people out. im pretty sure we know how it will ski tomorrow.

"3 more trails tomorrow" From 69 news.

Thankful for the weather stretch that we have had, but here comes the typical NEPA forecast. When the moist moves in, it warms up, and then as the moist moves out, we get the re-freeze.

They might be able to go all day today, but temps are kinda not great for big production, but main has some snow on it for sure. pretty surprised to hear chute might be going too. So, they will blow snow till like 3 am on it, then groom it out, and it will be a minefield of cookies by 8:07. i have been wondering if they have been blowing on widowmaker as well. You know for the race team to practice on before Razors is ready.

Thats ambience snow. makes everything look pretty.

im pretty surprised to see them still making snow being so marginal temps. must be using snoflex. Also it looks like its snowing pretty hard there right now. Looks like just enough snow for everything to be in play for tomorrow.

i feel like Vails MO at JFBB has been to open with a few trails, then blow some snow here and there, but not go balls to the walls to get 100% open asap. i feel like Peak did. i can be wrong on this, but i feel like Blue and Frost get 100% around the same time. It fits Vails business model to kind of pace themselves with snowmaking, the passes they are concerned about selling have already been purchased.

They opened one park? Holy vert batman, i should have taken off today. I take back the Burger King crown (and i really like BK) to present to you the notorious big crown for opening like 4700 running feet of slopes. The crown lights up when you ski good too.

it took you 90 seconds to get down Powderpuff?

Lower doesnt look great for a Friday opening for sure. Maybe Sat/Sun. When they shut down today, that will be it i think until Thursday PM. Thursday Pm to Sunday AM look good with maybe some afternoon breaks. But then it gets a little sporadic over the next week, so hopefully they can get some more open and have a decent base on things.

Just think how many upper and lower trails they can make with my improvement on their map. That has to give them 25 trails to name. Upper what the fuck, and lower what the fuck.....and the list goes on. Honestly though, it just looks kinda like they took the trail map of Jack Frost and put it over there. Lots of trails that pretty much go straight down.
