This is probably one of the least confusing posts they have made recently, and the most informative. i wont ever understand the latest trend of places announcing opening dates 3 months in advance. I think most everybody here understands they open when it gets cold and they can make snow, but in general, people are pretty stupid, and would show up Friday, just because they read something 3 months ago that said they would be open. I have seen stuff from a FB weather page that someone said "Blue is making snow", and "Frost is going to open on December 3rd".

I did actually think they were in it for ernest, so i will throw some kudos around.

looks like we start to settle in with some overnight temps in the "ok-ish" range for snowmaking.

probably more exciting than the pictures of food that your friends are eating.........

Flatten the tires and put diesel in the gas tank. That will do it. The plow has been on my quad for some time now, as thats what i use to push the leaves to the back of my property. But my busted up snow shovel wont be getting replaced anytime soon. Snowblower is still in the shed.

The best way to get snow to happen is to make sure you are completely unprepared for it.

Ehh......i sort of think it could be a wasted effort depending on what happens with the monsoon or snowstorm next week. The funny thing is Accuweather keeps teasing at the very last day of the 15 day forecast with temps in the 20's. But its been like that for the last couple days, but it never moves up. Day 15 always in the 20's. Forecasting past about Sunday is a crap shoot anyways. so much can change so quick.

There has to be like 5-6 pairs of skis in my closet that i wouldnt mind wrecking right about now. I keep thinking i would make something out of some old skis, but the only thing i come up with is a coat rack, and thats not super creative. Oh, and if you could talk someone into driving you around, JF would be a good hit since you can get dropped off at the top, and picked up at the bottom. Until you get Vailed.

i will go to Debbie Downer status and say you will need to find another activity to occupy yourself with, we will not be skiing at Blue by black friday, or that weekend.

exciting that a new trail will be opened up at Blue, with possibly one of the lamest fucking names for a trail ever. Plunge/freefall? like there is some crazy steep on this trail? no. Ray of sunshine? its never sunny at Blue. Those names all suck. They should go back to the drawing board with them. That trail should have this marker - Blue square with this symbol in it, for whats gonna happen at the intersection of Paradise.

Grass looks great. This should be in the "big news from Blue" thread, since that thread has been such a disappointment lately.

Do you think anybody that reads that, actually thinks to themselves, "hmmm.....Jackson Hole, or Camelback?" I mean, JH dont have no waterpark, i guess.

Since this is now just a funny meme thread.........

Check that carefully. Make sure you arent still paying a transmission fee on top of that. Business's have a different rate, that sort of sounds a little low considering NRG is notorious for luring people in with low intro rates, and CC points. But it might be totally on the up and up. I switched to them once for some CC points, but made sure to cancel after i got the points, since i knew they would raise the rate. They purposely dont make canceling easy. Call this number, call that number, press this button, say operator....etc. i have never seen where saving a $.01 on electric was worth straying from PPL or Peco.

"price to compare" is (i am pretty sure) generation. Since generated electricity is no good to you without being delivered, you will always pay PPL a fee (transmission) since they own the copper your discount electric needs to travel down to get to your house. The $.16 was directly from my bill, $$$ divided by KWH.

Based on my last PPL bill, i pay about $.16 per kw, i would assume Benm is paying the same, unless there is still the use more, pay less with PPL. Even if thats the case, it might o down to $.14. Cool math problem, but looks like it needs to get re-done.

I dont think i made it past like October 10th before i turned the heat on, and i like it on the chilly side. Feels like we went from AC to heat in a matter of days. Dont feel like we had a stretch where i could keep the window open without it getting too cold, or too humid.

The flip has been switched.

Surprise! yeah, first i heard noreaster was today as well.

definitely some typical BM confusion, but i dont think so.

Is there a place in stat manager for "hung out, drank beer and talked about skiing? let me know.

i gotta turn my heat on when i get home today.

Great time last night. Good to see everybody. Really put me in the skiing mood.

Dunno if they actually limited passes. lets remember this is kind of typical BM fuckery. so it looks like with the KSL injection, or BMMR whatever, nothing has really changed, except the price of a pass.
