Schif

Snow in PA!!! Kinda weird, I'm usually up on all the snow reports, but 7 springs just seems to slip through the cracks.

Wouldn't that blow your car's computer too?

I"m glad I'm not the only one with this problem. My dad just doesn't understand why anyone would ever want to A. Go out in the cold or B. slide down a big mountian in the cold. He never really encouraged me to ride at all, and actually kept me from going a few times. I think it has to do with the fact that my ridng took away from basketball a little bit. (he coaches my high school's team). I think he's letting up a little now that I'm in college, but he's still not happy when I have to pay to ride.

The funniest thing I've ever seen was a some guy (presumably the father), coming through the fence from northridge followed by what had to be at least 20 tiny little kids. He kept yelling at them to stay all together (I think thats what the translation would be). Of course as soon as they stepped on the snow with their skis they started sliding all over the place and he had to run around and wrangle them all up. Needless to say I almost squished one after coming off of a rail.

Thanks! That really did explain it well.

Skifreak, what exactly is an HKD gun? How does it not rely on air/water? I'm extremely curious about all this snowmaking stuff.

My brother does something like that. He claims he has good times with "Pole Wars" where a pack of skiers head down together and smack each other with their poles until they fall down. I'm glad I ride and don't have to ski with them.

Elk strict? I've only been there a few times, but I've never run into any overly tough patrolers there. I got yelled at for jumping from the woods over a creek onto the bunny slope once, but they weren't really all that mad. Half the time I'm there I'm in the woods and no one seems to care.

As of right now, the cam is showing a ton of guns firing on the base area. I'm sure the rest of the mountain is getting its fair share too. Day snowmaking is certainly a good sign.

The fast tracks/ runaways are some of the most fun trails I've ever been on. You can ride that trail all day and not see a single soul. On that note, everyone forget what you've read in this thread. I want to keep these trails to myself!

The last thing I want is Montage to turn into a big corporate thing. The way it is now is perfect for me. No patrol issues, no crowds, no goofy road signs all over the place. Its just Montage.

Thats what I like to hear!!!

Makes sense. Never thought about that. Pretty cool though.

Did you get that online or at a shop? You proboby told me but I forget.

Does anyone know if Salomon bindings would be compatable with a Burton board?

Right now the cam is amazing, snow pouring out of guns as far as the eye can see.

They shut down Hideout Hill?

If they can put enogh down before the temps go back up it has a decent chance of surviving.

Tailgating for snowmaking. That would be amazing. From the activity on the board it seems like most of us were just sitting around all night watching webcams. Next year we should have a party and all watch the snow being made!!

Not bad. I'm glad to see I"m not the only one who colors trail maps when I hear they're making snow.

What are they waiting for? I need snow!

YESS!! I love seeing snow on webcams. I'll probobly be up all night watching them.

BRING ON THE SNOW!!!!

How much harder is outer limits compared to white lightning? Should I give it a go when I go up?

This is very good to hear. I wonder who's going to start blowing next?
