@Schifand for this word. i had to look it up. isthmus. noun a narrow strip of land with sea on either side, forming a link between two larger areas of land.

I would agree. I am really just focused in on Sunday evening and beyond, with what look to be our best shot at decent snowmaking temps to date. What happens this weekend? Who knows. But i bet the beer in the lot will taste good. Gonna focus in on the positives, rather than complain about the things that are out of our control. Plus, i only have like 3 more days of work this year.

I must have left before conditions got shitty, cause i thought they were pretty damn good myself. Just couldnt see.

Well if you would stop using it all up during the weekdays, we would be fine for this weekend.

Pretty impressed with what they have laid down at the Valley.

Cameltoe be like dropped the ball. Big time.

This is my uneducated guess as well.

Lazy, tuts, homestretch, paradise, upper main, lower park? (right of the 6) Burma, shuttle i think thats about it for now..........

Nobody can say that they arent taking advantage of any chance they get to make snow. Kudos to them. Past 2 days have had bonus snowmaking temps, although not the best temps. I hope this holds, it looks like after some moist on Saturday, we get some decent overnight temps starting Sunday.

I wasnt in love with conditions yesterday, but just like you said, add in people that shouldnt be on midway in the best of conditions, and its a recipe for badness. Being able to get down Midway in these conditions makes you a better skier. Sure, it would be easy to just go to Frost and ski the 4 flattest trails, but where is the fun in that?

Accuracy would drastically improve if there wasnt so much crap floating around creating excessive bursts of enzymes, and shit getting stuck to it. The last data i went through, there was something going on around Christmas. We will see how it plays out.

As someone whos work revolves around the weather everyday, he is "ok". He has blown a forecast more than once. Most people will only remember a forecast for some type of storm, but like i said, weather is our life at work. Not slamming them, but they fit into every other outlet trying to predict weather, that just isnt a cut and dry math problem.

The East Mountain lifts have been problematic for years. A few of us were actually told to jump off of that lift one time when it stopped. I would also wager that none of these lifts are in fact "brand new". Truth in that. Honestly, every time i get on a lift there i wish i had brought a book.

vail announced they are replacing the east mountain doubles with a quad next, year with the other lift upgrades. i think another one at Boulder as well, which still completely blows my mind.

Both days. looks like the rain moves in for my afternoon nap Saturday.

Seems like CB has faired well with early season snow, while Utah is twiddling their thumbs waiting for some.

Guns still going. This might be the longest stretch of snowmaking to date.

Im not sure if it was the wake from the Zinc Queen barge hauling all of the summers dirty diapers away, but there was some movement this morning. Looking at right around Christmas.

Wow. Thats interesting. Vail cant get people to man the french fryers, yet they are buying up more resorts. And, where the hell is this ski resort in KOP????? Why the fuck do i drive to Blue?

Well that was nice while it lasted. At least they are giving it the old college try when they can.

The fact that it isnt going to snow a bunch is a good thing, i think. Temps will be close to borderline, and snow would bring in tons of moisture. Blue is perfecting the art of making snow at 32 degrees. Hope they can keep them going for a while today.

I told myself i wasnt going to bring up the forecast for the weekend. But to answer your question, yes.

It looks to me like there is more bad than good in the forecast for the upcoming week. we wont get out of the upper lot for a while with temps going up and down like they are. I hope i am really wrong.
