This is probably accurate. I dont think im gonna complain about them, and just be happy to be skiing the same mountain with the same people and enjoying some grown up bevs afterwards.

They were running some snow making things at JF too. I think they will put on a snowmaking display tonight.

Sundays ice is gonna be nice.

Its my opinion that since they have already announced staying closed Friday, they will be open for Sat and Sun. It looks like it may be a little moist for parts of Saturday, but i dont think its an all day steady rain at this point. Unless its pouring down rain sat am, i will be there skiing the same mountain with the same people for an hour and a half, and then hang out in the parking lot drinking beer and discussing current events.

I think this is pretty accurate. i was thinking shortly after the purchase that Vail pretty much didnt give a fuck about either, and were going to let them go to shit as much as possible. Both JF and BB are pretty big for that area. take them away, and you take quite a bit from the area. pretty much just left with Split Rock. They are opening Tubing again, at least at Boulder. I never figured out why they wernt interested in running that cash cow since they bought it. I am always interested in who owns what and whatnot, so i looked up JF, since its in Carbon, and i know how to use thier GIS, and the property is owned by JFBB ski areas Inc, Broomfield CO, so i do think Vail owns the land.

True. But Vail has taken away BB's identity removing most of the park stuff, so i can see why they arent real concerned with jumping right on having both open early season. im still blown away with the upgrades they did at BB.

I will take it as long as we can make some turns this weekend. Hopefully Thursday they can put down a little refresher. Winter comes back in 1 week.

Believes an hour by hour forecast 5 days away Over thinks everything Believes having an Epic pass makes him "special" the list goes on........

And tomorrows weather looks like poo. I cant see blowing snow to watch it wash away, and yeah i get that some of the base will be leaving us too. Thursday night should hold a refresher. then we just need to make it to about wednesday when they can crank things up and be productive.

Kinda like skiing Camelback. Or even getting first Tube at Camelback. Yippee.

today wasnt quite as nice as yesterday, but happy to be skiing this weekend, and really happy to be in the Valley for opening, so i will give Blue a break for closing tomorrow. im gonna bet they didnt sell a ton of day passes either day. it didnt seem like the usual crowded opening weekend, but maybe its just because they opened with more terrain, and more lift capacity.

100% correct.

quite the offering for opening. i hope this trend continues for years to come.

so i take it if they did regrade the top of Harmony lift, you can pretty much access the entire mountain from it. There were way too many lifts at Boulder. Using Blue's math, i think there were 18.

After tomorrow, windows for snowmaking close up quite a bit for a week or so.

So i was just looking a little further into the weekend forecast. I might lean towards agreeing with you, but there are 2 really different solutions to this weekend, and one does show some significant rain. Timing will not be good on things until Wednesday, i think. A rain filled weekend with no skiing is gonna suck.

They would get bent over on social media if they didnt open Friday. But this doesnt mean they open everything they have been blowing snow on. #Vistaopening #uphillonParadise

zoom in a little more. you missed some other stuff.

#Vistaopening

Sad face emoji. But thanks for the heads up.

They forgot Vista. or did they rename that? #vistaopening

Things are shut down, but it looks like decent production on Vista. #Vistaopening

oh, then you missed the time when we were in line and all of a sudden the counterweight jumped 2'. No joke. I forget who else was there, but at least Jlaw. and then of course for some reason we both still got on it.

@toast21602 - have you gone over any of the Bouys data for next week? Im not sure what to make of it, since it just got put back in after having a major douching.
