Thats ambience snow. makes everything look pretty.

im pretty surprised to see them still making snow being so marginal temps. must be using snoflex. Also it looks like its snowing pretty hard there right now. Looks like just enough snow for everything to be in play for tomorrow.

i feel like Vails MO at JFBB has been to open with a few trails, then blow some snow here and there, but not go balls to the walls to get 100% open asap. i feel like Peak did. i can be wrong on this, but i feel like Blue and Frost get 100% around the same time. It fits Vails business model to kind of pace themselves with snowmaking, the passes they are concerned about selling have already been purchased.

They opened one park? Holy vert batman, i should have taken off today. I take back the Burger King crown (and i really like BK) to present to you the notorious big crown for opening like 4700 running feet of slopes. The crown lights up when you ski good too.

it took you 90 seconds to get down Powderpuff?

Lower doesnt look great for a Friday opening for sure. Maybe Sat/Sun. When they shut down today, that will be it i think until Thursday PM. Thursday Pm to Sunday AM look good with maybe some afternoon breaks. But then it gets a little sporadic over the next week, so hopefully they can get some more open and have a decent base on things.

Just think how many upper and lower trails they can make with my improvement on their map. That has to give them 25 trails to name. Upper what the fuck, and lower what the fuck.....and the list goes on. Honestly though, it just looks kinda like they took the trail map of Jack Frost and put it over there. Lots of trails that pretty much go straight down.

In true blue mountain style, i think its only fair to pay ohmage to i think Okemo, which has so many intersecting trails, this would just add the same amount of thrill to that side as what is existing. Need to make sure people can get from all the way left, to the lodge in the valley without getting on a lift. That would be about 9 trails crossed. Epic. I think this makes way more sense. i will give skiitoolives all of my buddy passes the year we get to ski over there.

Kudos to Frost for pulling off an early opening. here's the crown.

Same here. Now i feel cheated that i let both of them go unused.

Are there guns going on upper main? Its kinda looks like it but it could also be a troptical illusion.

Im good with a trade of Midway/lower main for lazy tbh. Midway to lower is a fav run, but early season not as much.

Thats a bit of snow there for sure. is that Homie Stretch? i cant quite put my finger on where that fence is.

I dont disagree, but im going with "trust the process". Which seems silly when talking about Blue, right? Even though i said earlier i hope they put a good base on the trails they blow on, i will be a little disappointed if lower main is still grassy come Friday/Saturday. I wonder if they have been blowing on lazy.

So, we may have trended just a bit warmer from when i posted the above, but not bad overall. still lots of good temps in sight. the "monday" on the second line from above, is today, December 2nd. And again, forecast #2 is pretty much inline with #1.

im still waiting on the big news as to who bought the place. it keeps me up at night not knowing.

Do you have a ski card or something? lift tix online are sold out for Friday.

if it actually goes like this, December will be Le tits. Boner city. titty sparkles everywhere.

Honestly, im kinda hoping they just wait to open next Friday. Get a nice base on some key trails so they can hold on if we get some less than stellar snowmaking weather. Im not saying blow 3 trails 4' deep, but enough to get by just in case. I mean, maybe they can do that in 3-4 days, but at this point, why rush it. Does anybody know if they added equipment to lower main? Its been pointed out thats where the bottle neck for basically that entire side is. The entire season it was pretty thin there always.

I feel like that sign was there last year. And im pretty sure its just like the “experts only” sign they put up on coming soon. Just a suggestion, not enforced, and mainly ignored.

if this confirms, it should be a baller opening with the new snowmaking stuff. they will be able to open 60% of their terrain 75% sooner then they would with only 60% of their resources. The big take away here is that all 3 of these forecasts show the same pattern. This looks really good. Like purple eggplant times 3.

Good time last night. hats off to the host @Dirtwolf

i am like just one street away from a bunch of people without power. feeling pretty fortunate. its pretty interesting to be outside with all the snow falling off the trees.

I think siskel and ebert would give this 2 thumbs down Mike, at least in Albrightsville. Bbq grill and table show about 5”, but on the ground its half. I would say the ground is too warm, and lots more will melt tonight. i think its been snowing for most of the day and the bbq grill measuring device doesnt look any different. i think about 5 miles north, and maybe more from jack frost has way more. Actually i think montage was over a foot around 8-9 am.

Standard snow measurement device - bbq grill. mike, i have really big plans tomorrow which include replacing the water filter and mouse baits in the crawlspace, but i could probably see if i can move some stuff around to squeeze in some snow time. i will let you know whats up there when i get up there later this afternoon.
