I think 3 years ago was the year we had only one weekend in the upper lot, 2nd weekend we were in the valley, and i think there was a decent snow storm that was really helpful for opening new trails with just a little snowmaking. am i right?

Yikes. lower smith gap rd.

I dont have tons going on at work right now........it might be obvious.

Normal, probably. worse than last year, yes. Other than the year of 3 opening days, the last being in January, this year is going down as a second to that year, at least from what i can remember. Last years opening - Around the 17th of December lazy, midway, and lower main opened. Raceway opened right after christmas, and shortly after that Razors. So, by Jan 1 there was at least all of main, razors, come around, falls was in there somewhere. I think by Jan 1 this year, we wont see anything new open over what we have now. the weather just isnt that good. last year there was a big cold snap right before Christmas and into that week.

Maybe they pulled the plug on websites designed with Geocities.

Some decent overnight temps, not spectacular, but hopefully enough to piece back the single track on Paradise to keep that in play, and refresh the balance. Probably making paradise a thick single track layer is going to hold up better to 3" of rain than spreading that shit out. They will be blowing on Razors for sure shortly. hopefully upper main too. i would say based on this they will be trying to lay down some famous Blue Mountain Gak most of the day Saturday.

Good. well, i mean, $120 is a better number as far as i am concerned. Charge $40, make $XXXX. FB "slopes are soooo crowded. WTF" Charge $102/$115, make $XXXX. FB "OMG, no way im paying that for 3 trails....highway robbery. im going to Big Boulder" it just works out the same.

one add said "been vandalized a few times". but its also like 17 acres or something crazy.

Obviously hoping for the 4 pm closure. Looking over all of the weather sites, i do think the morning would most likely be dry, but i think some are trending for it to come in sooner. i didnt quite realize how much rain was gonna be associated with it until today. Typical east coast fuckery in December. cold, then as soon as some moisture shows up, it pisses warm rain. then gets cold again. this was our pattern last year. we need to get out of it.

I would love to see inside this house. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1300-Mountain-Rd-Mountain-Road-VT-05149/299562411_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare its stuck in the middle of Okemo, with no winter vehicular access.

damn. i was really thinking paradise would be a lock after the amount of hours they put forth on the snowmaking this week. the pic for upper is obviously a no go, but its hard to judge what the depth is on the last pic of paradise. Maybe FF to paradise? Oh, and in the other awesome news department, sundays weather is really starting to circle the drain.

i thought i saw they posted they would be open daily starting today. But, most likely closed on Monday, and then just open Tuesday for ice skating.

Wow, that looks easy to reproduce.

I feel like "the largest snowmaking system on the east" isnt always on full blast. i mean, who really knows what 15,000 gpm can work as far as guns, but it seems like Killington with a smaller system, puts down more snow. granted, they have better temps to work with. But you would think they would be doing everything possible to get some shit going on Razors, for the spandex squad.

Standard iphone app which is weather.com i believe, says 38. Accuweather says 39. Weather bug 39. So, it looks pretty clear its above freezing. Applauding the effort for sure, but they have to be making some low quality gak right about now. better new is it looks like temps drop real quick as the sun sets.

high Dins, low expectations.

Can you call them and as them about upper main as well?

going a little colder after Christmas. hope it keeps up. we really need a sustained cold though.

Thats what im trying to figure out.

This is interesting. I dont really get how its scored, but the food is good.

i saw that. he is awesome. i wanna be just like him when i grow up.

Thanks - i want to jump on FB so i can be the first one to say "you're my boy blue"

You might, but i wont.

Its gotta go somewhere, so i mean there isnt a real bad spot. Should be fun for those that liked to play on that side. Thats a Blue Mountain surprise for sure. im feeling better about that as well. they have had more snowmaking than i thought they would so far this week. Some good overnight temps next week, but i dont think its gonna get anything else open other than like X-ing. Skiing should never really suck, but skiing those three trails over Christmas is gonna get super old, super quick.
