It does really look that way right now. I keep hearing about a pattern flip mid month, but that remains to be seen. im still going with K is gonna have a hard time pulling off their ski race, which, of course doesnt bode well for us either.
-
I think they ran out of stuff to put up.

The more i think that relying on the new lift to work right out of the box, perfect, and blow a bunch of snow on trails that only that lift services, could be the mother of all fuck ups. But, i guess they have the tot lift or what ever it is, as a back up, but its not a great plan. If they blow on paradise, sunny delight, and then move to like challenge, those are trails that can be serviced by both the quad and six. Cause we all know, neither of those lifts will run for an entire day without needing to put some more quarters in it. i still think when it gets cold, Blue will make snow. What they make snow on really depends on how that lift is coming along, and their confidence level in it. We all know, even new stuff can break.

More being auctioned off. https://givergy.us/Jackfrost/?controller=home&fbclid=IwAR1SNbmlynQhjl1qinrss49QKLEkLNp5NDmNFkhwc5m5Bqi5nHXVqXMJTME

Well thats all bonus skiing anyways.
-
i dont disagree with basically at some point, it has to get cold. but i just dont see it for a little while. hope im wrong.
-
i would be willing to make a wager that Killington cancels or postpones their ski race for the end of November too.
-
Im not lovin the look of November.

There you go. Thats why they put a bubble on it!
-
the new lift is 2600' long, moves at almost 1000' per minute, and takes you directly over top of all of this bullshit, that makes you feel like you are skiing at Sesame Street.
-
Did you guys have a plane date?
-
Be nice to see some terminal pieces in the lot. i think the chairs are there?
-
-
Not to be the Debbie Downer, but i still see a ton of work to be done. Its one thing to just hang all the pieces up, but another to actually make them all work together.

i turned my heat on when i came home and my bedroom was 55. like i said, i like it cool, but that was chilly.
-
What did it get down to? I feel like i can usually hold out longer, i tend to keep the house on the cooler side anyways, but even i gave up weeks ago. I do wish we had a little longer "open windows" season. seems like i had the AC off for like 3 days before i turned the heat on.
-
Seems like they have been making snow and watching it melt for about 2 weeks now. i dont know much about K, but i think this is what they concentrate on first. I wouldnt be canceling any plans thinking this is gonna be a go for this weekend, but its nice to look at.
-
I think they deserve a little more credit for their early season stuff than we give them credit for. Not sure what year it was, not too long ago, we had opening day, and then after that all melted, they had opening day 2.0 like a month + later. I will be critical of Blue like everybody else, but i have never felt they lacked in the early season snow department.
-
I was sort of wondering if this is where they may end up in this situation. The only thing i was thinking about this scenario was they would need to have whatever trails they have snow on be accessible from both lifts, since we all know the reliability of the quad and 6 arent quite 100%. And @GrilledSteezeSandwich has a valid point with the snowmaking on sunny delight or whatever that trail will be called this year.
-
Thanks for that insider info.
-
wtf. how do i add it to the leather wallet?
-
i did actually bug them when i heard of the first batch going around, they said i was "in the next group" which probably translates to "we hope you forget about this"
-
As do i, but im still waiting on my $50 credit or whatever that was supposed to come with my pass renewal.
-
I keep seeing pics of them making snow, but making no progress as they are proving that snow does melt.
