One thing is for sure...when it finally gets cold the snowmaking ponds will be full!!! I can't wait to see the snowmaking cannons blow snow...the ski jones is starting to kick in. Especially after watching early season videos from the Rockies. The edit from big boulder didnt even give me a half Chubb..I like seeing powder and big dog booters when I'm looking at powder porn.
Blue mountain had a half filled upper parking lot this time of year last year. One thing is when there's a late opening its usually busy right from the opening bell. Out west and up north and when we have exceptionally early opening days it's mainly the die yards who are out but when they open late December everybody is all ready to go out. Gung hoe instructors, patrollers, park Crüe, racers, PASRs, red van from NJ with Asians and the 6-7 Gary's.
I feel like Mother Nature is ripping is all off a little bit but maybe we'll get a 16" dump or something on a weekday in February to erase this dire time in the pennsylvania banana belt that is mid Atlantic skiing and snowboarding.
