At least from accuweather, yeah, Thursday night looks real good. how long it will be that cold, ehh, who knows. Weather, and weatherbug sort of agree with that, so, good chance it would be a good night.

Define "salvage" I think between tonight and Thursday night, they should be able to cobble back together what was open this past weekend. But then again, here comes our current weather pattern next week. 2 steps forward, 1.5 back.

I am convinced there was a sale on homes in the Poconos to those that cant drive in the snow, but insist on doing so. people in my development are hysterical on FB.......one lady slid off the road into the ditchy-ditch, but said it was maintenance's fault for not laying down salt. Said she was doing the speed limit, and therefore she shouldnt have slid off the road. Thats the mentality. No matter what road conditions are like, as long as you do the speed limit, nothing bad will happen.

Jay did not get the goods.

No fucking doubt in my mind thats gonna happen.

Not sure if this will work, but this is supposed to be sunday river during the rain storm. thats a lot of water. https://www.facebook.com/reel/3261709534129597/?s=group_other&__cft__[0]=AZWYRdn5PhhnBUzg1ocaGj9SIIzyNyiqsGagVmE3tVDqYpYZd-sY299OpX9JDomhIjjCuDdAjUb034Un23DA8Uou7dU5L9RXNdjbApKhHtCP580jGj9mKVEALmlM6lndTszQcrzfahQ-56XNEpACdlMdzv1_VFiXh28mQEcK90D6Pars0oFuwsiiqKLfiwAwZFuFGgBjJRoMB9pSqujAI_XAh3h21bZTlpepKZ1G9bd2Tw&__tn__=H-R

Will be interesting to see what they have open for next week. Looking at options for next week. Not sure how they faired after the rain, but Bell was showing 1/2 their trails open before the rain. that seemed like it was pretty good in the grand scheme of things considering this "winter" so far has been mostly some cold book ended by warm rain.

this is pretty funny for them to put out. what would be hysterical is if they were wrong. now that would be funny.

We have all seen it before, but i am hoping for this pattern change, and hoping its a big change.

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.
