Next Tuesday through Saturday looks like there could be a couple nights of snowmaking. Calling for some type of natural snow on the 17th. Still kind of early for that to hold any validity.

You mean you don't like 50 degrees and rain?
-
You qoutes fluffy but it shows up as shif. Weird

Honestly, the 20th could be a stretch as well. I know it's a long term forecast but next Tuesday through Friday at night seem to be the only chance they'll have to blow snow until that next week and it would be variable at best bwe'll see what happens maybe Mother Nature turns things around for once. Inb4 Doug's post of "bear creek sucks blue will be open before them I'm gss and I like men"

Last year was the first year in a whole bear opened significantly later than blue.

I'm not sure if I would call it nice. It's really hit or miss with bear. That goes back to the weather debacle. Any mountain is going to blow mediocre snow if all the variables aren't in place. There have been plenty of times that I've been to bear when they've blown nice snow but there's also been a handful of times that its been shit. Same can be said about blue. There's just too much going on for snow makers to blow consistent snow everyday, at least in Pennsylvania. Also, it seemed like bear got the stickiness of the snow situation from 10/11 cleared up last year. Finally figured out a way to filter the salt out?

I want. I just don't have the money to spend right now. Good luck
-
I'm 21 I don't consider that old. And I'm trying to keep you from wasting your time on gss. He does it to every other mountain on this board. Pot calling the kettle black huh Doug?
-
Don't even bother with gss he'll just keep doing it.

I hate to see a ski area die but how does sno keeping making these fiscal/managerial mistakes? They really need someone to come in/ take over, and clean house.

[quote name="Ride Delaware ?" post="296553" timestamp="1354228946" I try to get over there every once in awhile as a change of pace. Although smaller and more compact, they have a decent mountain and some pretty good cruisers. I'll probably hit up the Loaf next week. Its nice having a pass to 3 pretty legit mountains. If you have a pass to all three why the hell not. Yeah it might be smaller but that not immediate money out of your pocket that day for a lift ticket.

Yes you still have to buy a 30 dollar meal but for someone like guitar, who has a significant other, they can go out to a nice dinner with only spending 30 dollars instead of 60.
-
It might actually. Not too sure I just know we're exposed to direct sunlight for a decent amount of time.
-
Serious question Doug but how long is the sun on blue? I believe it's on bear for a majority of the day since bear faces east. This causes the snow to melt alot quicker.
-
Depends on ticket price. Not too sure what blues "discounted" tickets run but I'm a broke college kid so I can't afford 45 dollars for 6 trails or whatever they'll have
-
Can we just let the guy sell his stuff? Who cares what he asked for them? He can ask whatever he wants that doesn't mean he's going to get it. Just let him try and sell it.
-
Why do you hate on bear creek so much Doug? Did you have a bad memory there from the past? Maybe a scoutmaster violated you? First of many times you were rejected by a woman?

Yes and blue is also more geared towards opening quick as they don't have a hotel and resort to fall back on. Bear is like a second home to me but in the past couple seasons their push to get open has been somewhat lackluster. I know there are many factors that play a part in opening it just seems like it creeps up on them way to quick or their minds are in other places. I could honestly care less when they open as long as the weather doesn't do what it did last year and we don't have anything open until January. I want to ride as much as the next guy but not if its going to be a death ribbon with 5000 people on it.
-
Is that a surprise to you?
-
We all know. There's just those group of people who don't understand that just because its 32 degrees out doesn't mean a mountain can open
-
Stop being so conservative. But in all seriousness, depending on the weather, I would guess sometime between the 10th and the 14th. Once again weather permitting.
-
So you're against blue bringing in extra revenue?
-
Why does it matter to you Doug? If anything that's good business for them. Who knows it could sway people from getting a pass at bear and going to blue
-
They should've been blowing last night and as much as possible today and the next couple nights. Even if you don't open get some piles down so you're not too far behind come Tuesday when the temps return. Edit: let me re phrase that before a flame war starts. The humidity is too high right now to blow but they could have blown the past couple of nights
