Ride Delaware ?

No, I just forgot about it being sandwiched between Jackson Hole and Utah in the poll. I've heard it was great. That comment wasn't at all an attack on Tahoe. After last years snow year, I'd be silly not to give it a shot before I trash the area. Disregard lol Good question...

Well, if your blowing at 25, pixie dust, which is much better quality, is basically the same price, just a different water/air mixture...

Which ass clown voted for Tahoe?

Goer downers?

Who wants my vote?

Story is the same, I wont know until sometime next week. I didn't bring my gear because weather looked bad, and I am supposed to be busy all weekend...

I'm up for some stuff before I find out about my employment. I have a full Saturday and Sunday, so no time for boarding since they won't be open tomorrow. Didn't even bring my gear...

Everyone can blow pixie dust under 25 with the right humidity... Why don't they?

Do you think it is because they blow at marginal temps? I've seen them blow when other resorts wouldn't even try... I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I know they fuck up past that lol

I'm not Ride Delaware '10 worried yet, but no good snowmaking days after Saturday in the 10 day forecast... It's pretty nice here in Maine... I expect t2b snowmaking tomorrow with a low of 15... I'll be out surveying as temps drop lol

Moral of the story is that Blue can make snow, but not good snow, and they can't groom worth a damn... So we get the death cookies with no cookie monster...

Sounds like something engineering can fix...

OutCold should put out a bid...

At 3 AM? I guarantee that you sir, are not there...

I think the waterpark is key for them to be able to turn it around and service their debt...

Crowded is all relative I guess, but I learned to ski there in 93' and I remember it being busy, but not super crowded on a Saturday night. That was when the majority of the terrain was above the lodge...

I think the biggest issue is that they don't have a sustained customer base from year to year, meaning a long track record of people coming back year in and year out. Every time they build a base they seem to change ownership. Elk has proven you don't even need to update your website if people know your rep. I really wish they had more interaction, especially in terms of their website (which is up there on PAs worst list) and social media (not even an updated Facebook page at the least). This is definitely a new trend that has worked well. Look at Magic Mountain. They are a fledgling co op (partnership) with a strong skier base and management that updates their website and Facebook daily. Most of the time its the GM or AGM. They have next to no marketing budget. Even Blue is trying to add a dedicated member to their team to update social media etc. I think the biggest part of the problem right now is NO communication. Nobody can get in contact with anyone, their website has infrequent updates, and they haven't responded to any of the media that say they are in the whole. Even if they are in trouble, they should be communicating to say what they are doing about it. They are losing customer faith and customers who will assume they are going downhill. I'm sure this is killing their SP sales. They just need to start small and work their way up. This is clearly the least of their issues, but a little talking would go a long way.

I always go to K-Mart on weekdays, so I never saw it running or had a chance to ride it... I heard it was awesomely something lol

Not to bicker over petty things, but they ripped out the SRT. The NRT is the current lift running on the open terrain.

If they were that worried that a power outage would damage the wine, they would have already had the generator. While it doesn't happen often, I'm sure the power has gone out before...

I also didn't realize that Sno was such a young mountain. All the articles I read said it was begun in 1984. I know that was in the skiing heyday, but I figured that most had opened well before then...

You could take a cold shower and forget about the boiling water piecemeal strategy...

I'm guessing he meant that its operating revenue is greater than its operating losses if we put aside the debt. Some type of bankruptcy is probably in the works if no sale is...

I'm not in the market for a generator, but this is definitely making me think twice about adding wiring for a generator for essential services when I renovate my house lol

I know it's your show, but it would probably save you a bunch of time and effort if you just post pictures of everything lol
