Weekend Roll call thread 12/2-12/3…

They have had better weather for snowmaking. For sure. they have also been making snow at BB, which they usually dont do. And since it seems to be a huge point of contention here, did they say anything about tubing?
-
hopefully the wind dies down soon. I mean, its pretty marginal for snow making right now, production isnt the greatest, but at least its something. and yeah, we might be able to ski at @Dirtwolf's house pretty soon.
-
before that, and sometime around the time you posted, there was what looked like a swath of water like in between the 2nd and third pole up the right side. kinda came down the middle where that snow cat has since gone. like maybe a hose blew.
-
Do it some time. I will then crown you the coolest guy i know from a web forum. Maybe even make you a plaque of some kind out of some old skis or something.
-
it looks like there was some type of water event on homestretch.

Seriously. I think tubing is dumb, but its something that even the most uncoordinated, overweight, colorblind, dummy can do. I would bet that more than 50% of the sale of gloves, goggles, hats and lip balm are to tubers. Its part of their business, so be it. just stop looking over there. Get a Little Caesars Hot and Ready, split it with @Benm and chill. You know as well as i do, if they dont make snow on it right now, they wont be able to make the 7th opening. After like Thursday, it will probably be a week before they get snowmaking temps back.
-
It snowed in MALVERN also.
-
Palmerton Tomorrow may actually end up being colder. I mean, pick a forecast from wherever that you like the best i guess. the big deal is overnight temps will be pretty much on point.

You guys expecting that one of these days Blue is gonna have their shit together is still hilarious. Just cause KSL moved in doesnt mean old habits wont go away immediately. I have a theory on this. They had some type of issue that goes along with the digging they did on Vista, and couldnt run guns on Vista, so move to plan B, which is get main street open. then whatever got fixed, and now back to plan A, which is gettting Vista open. I feel they would favor Vista, for slope and lodge access, over Main. Gotta sell those hot chocolates. Hopefully what is down on Main doesnt go to waste before they can get back to it. I know you probably know this, but tubing is a license to print money. You need to concede to this happening. your life will be better. Go get a Little Caesars Hot and Ready, and chill.

Does it come with breathing apparatus? That thing looks crazy.

Earlier start than i thought would happen. like.

Some time after 911 we were working at JFK airport, and that is were they took all the taxis, cop cars, fire trucks, big parts of the towers themselves, etc.....the inspector working with us, took us over there. If you want to put something into perspective, you should have seen that. Its not something going away any time soon. Burned out vehicles, twisted steel, ladder trucks with the ladder half melted off of them.....and it wasnt just like a few vehicles. it was rows of them.
-
Kind of reminiscent of last year. I think they just need to keep working on what they started. the 10 day doesnt look great, after friday, but that can change.
-
Shows over. see you Monday night.
-
daytime temps have been going colder the past few days. good for us. this was like wednesdays foecast. i do find it a little odd Vista isnt getting the treatment. Maybe there is more to the story than that one break we saw on cam, and its affecting snowmaking on Vista?

so you know for a fact they werent making snow on paradise, FF, and tuts?

Camelback is the 8th Best Ski Resort in the U.S. & Canada
JFskiDan replied to trackbiker's topic in Camelback
i think this is pretty accurate. Cameltoe is the son that the KSL hopes that one day Blue will be. Toe is a money making machine year round pretty much, and Blue is the frat brother on the 5 year college plan. i dont like it as much as the next guy, but what works at Toe, is gonna be forced on the drunken frat brother. -
hopefully they were able to keep some shit running that we couldnt see on cam. i have a hard time believing they have to shut everything down to fix a pipe near vista.
-
basically mud puddles at the valley now. We all know Blue has a huge snowmaking system. supposedly 14,000 or 15,000 GPM. I think its bigger than Killington, and we have seen them put on a show. Hopefully we see that when conditions are right. But here is your fun info for the day. Seven Springs is supposedly 30,000 GPM.
-
Daytime temps are way better than this past week for sure. moving in the right direction.
-
Friday and Saturday nights look decent, but lets hope this pans out for next week. this is what we need.

Does anyone else have a hankerin’ for a creamsicle? just me?
