Jordan - please make sure to blow enough snow this year to stay open past March 13th. Closing the same weekend as a resort in Pottstown, well.....we will just leave it at that. Put down some good snow in the glades, on the elevator and on risk it. The stuff off the slopes is what sets JF apart from other ski areas, so treat these areas just the same as any slope. Thanks

So Fluffy......what does it look like for the week ahead of us as far as snowmaking?

this is starting to look fairly promising. much better than 55 and sunny anyways.

Move on. theres a chance for some snow this week. can we work with that? Will that help the cause for this weekend? i dont know cause i'm just too damn tired of looking at the wether and being disapointed.

They are actually pretty good.....much more than an amatuer met. Like you said, so far his stuff has been pretty accurate, and doesnt overhype a small snowstorm.

Did we talk this morning? 1-6 sound really famliar.

There was snow on top of Blue yesterday morning. Blue Knob that is.

http://www.paskiandride.com/forums/topic/16826-25-lift-tickets-on-cbs-local-deals-philadelphia/ i think there is still some time left on this today.

i was wondering when these would hit the market. good find, thanks for posting up.

At this point i would do opening day at Boulder, which i vowed earlier never to do again. looks like we start getting into some colder temps next week. nothing awesome, but at least it starts getting colder.

lukoil has the coupons for JF/BB. theres some kind of buy one get one free for most days of the week up until Christmas i think. theres on day that doesnt apply, i think. and the by one get one free for sundays there after.

hmm....this thread looks differnt. thanks for the heads up Guido.

i skied split rock.

How about a PASR discount? hmmm...just an idea. i think with a little incentive most people would do it. just my worthless 2 cents though.

i cant look at the weather any more than i already do. i'm going to go crazy soon if it doesnt start getting cold.

if only Elk was on the list.......but even so that is very tempting.

as much as i want this to happen, i'm gonna make some plans for Thanksgiving weekend that dont revolve around the idea of skiing in PA. i think the cold shot we were supposed to get for November is gonna wait a while. i hope i am wrong.

moe - you give new meaning to the phrase go big or go home. place looks frickin awesome. i will come put the four screws on the electrical panel for the cover if you put me up in the water heater room for the weekend.

very cool. you wont regret doing that....ever. pictures please. Temps around this area look normal if not above for the next week or so. there is alot of talk about sustained cold moving in just before Thanksgiving. Opening day at Boulder......WooHoo!!!!!

yup. i guess as dumb as it sounds, i really had no idea it would be me, and 6,000 other people, skiing on the smallest slope at Boulder of all places.

After the line i stood in 2 years ago to ski freedom at Big Boulder, i swore i would never do opening day/weekend again. and from Jeff's pic last year the lift line seems to be the same whether its the poconos or vermont. This is usually the time a year a friend starts calling me about going somewhere early, like Vermont. i am dying to go skiing, anywhere, but i just cant justify a trip to Vermont to ski limited terrain, and spend almost the same as i would when the whole mountain is open. thats just me though. i know Moe was in town for some other things, and the slopes just happen to be there.

Utah in February.

nice....how many kw's? and where do you live at again?.........do you think it would take 2 people to get it into the back of my truck quietly?

good choice on getting something pretty current too.....i had 3 old snowmobiles and it seems like i spent more time fixin them than i did riding them. worst place to have a toy that requires a decent snowbase is PA too.

check the starting amps on that heat pump......it may go above what a 15kw generator can do. not saying it wouldnt start, but i bet that compressor has some pretty high start up amps.....like maybe 3-4 times running amps.
