  1. Is this correct???? It's also on the web site this way.
  2. I would think it would have to be Little Boulder.
  3. Come to think of it, I believe it was Little Boulder that had the portable fans on it and not Tannenbaum. Anyway, it was two trails .
  4. Hmmm, they didn't rebound the best last year and actually were one of the first to close. And as long as there is no wind .

    Elks new stuff?

    I think they planted some new trees .
  6. I stopped by BB early today and they blew a thin coat on Edelweiss and it looked like they had a bunch of portable fans lined up on Tannenbaum. Right now, it looks like they blew to get the ground cold. From what I was told, they are hoping to get the small park open for Friday.
  7. They are probably only running the SMI fans. They are along the base of the slope, but not on all of the trails. I'm heading up to pick up my skis shortly, so I will post an update.
  8. How did you get the webcam to work? I only get the white screen. The slope that you see doesn't have fan guns on it. The slope that has them is to the left of the screen, out of sight, so they must only be using the fans.
  9. Here's some pics from a weather forum of snowmaking at Hunter. http://p209.ezboard.com/ftristateweatherfr...cID=14699.topic I think I like their icon better.
  10. BB fired theirs up at 8:36 pm .
  11. Are they blowing on the whole mountain, or just the one park?
  12. Liquid form of snow.
  13. There's your anwer....or maybe it should be "Withold tit for tat." With "tat" being skiing.
  14. As long as they don't push it around, the snow should last through the warm days, since the sun isn't as strong now. They have a few hours yet. The last I checked, it was 39 in Palmerton. I might head over to BB around midnight. It should be plenty cold there, by then, since it is already 31 there.
  15. I'm heading to Lake Harmony on Tuesday to pick up my skis. I'm going to head to Boulder and Frost to see if they made any snow. As a matter of fact, I'm bored and don't have to work on Tuesday, so maybe I will head over late tonight, since the web cam isn't working .
  16. Well, it looks like they won't be opening this Friday . This is from JF's conditions page: "Ready to make snow. Watching the weather.Looks good next week 11/28"
  17. At leat flip flop BB and JF. JF usually opens before BB.

    Helmets

    I finally got a helmet...got a Giro G10.
  19. Anybody been to Alpine Mt.? I'm surprised that we don't hear more about it, since it is in the Poconos. I plan on hitting up some of the less talked about resorts, this year. I figure it will be the only way to know if I am missing out on anything. Also, from looking at some of Eagle Rock's pics, the snow looks decent...only problem is they are not open during the week.
  20. From onthesnow.com: Big Boulder: Projected opening: 12-2-06 Projected closing: 3-19-07 Jack Frost: Projected opening: 12-2-06 Projected closing: 3-26-07. If the forecast holds up, they could get a lot of the runs open, if they hold off until 12-2. I figured BB would look at closing 3-19, because the snowmobile races are the week after that . Hopefully they open back up.....but at this point, I just want them to open.
  21. I've seen their new fan guns run last year at BB, and a few hours for a few days could be enough for them to open....they pump out a shit load of snow in a hurry. I was at JF and BB today. From what I saw, a lot of the fans are on the west side at JF (green trails) and they put them on the tubing park....which I can't understand since the tubing at JF is only going to be open on weekends. I didn't see what was past the triple chair toward east mt. From what I was told, as soon as temps allow, they will blow. It won't melt if they leave it piled.
  22. They now changed the opening date to Nov. 24th.
  23. Two seasons ago, I asked them how many days they need for snowmaking and they said three or four would be enough to get open.
  24. Sounds legit.......................................................
  25. You would think that somebody with money would buy a place like this. It has potential, if done correctly.
