Snowmaking Update

[BC-Mark]

We will begin making snow around 6PM tonight to get a jump start on this round of snowmaking.

 

Temperatures don't look too favorable for around the clock production until Monday or Tuesday next week, but night time temperatures look good through mid to late next week.

 

By Monday/Tuesday we should have plenty of snow to start building bigger features in the parks and begin NASTAR on the 19th.

Great call. it was looking pretty sad today, but finally the weather is cooperating!

[snowboarddude]

sadly i was there till 9:30 and not 1 gun was turned on when i left

[K2rider]

Its almost 10:45 and there still not blowing

[photog]

Their on now

[snowboarddude]

i was really looking forward to them being able to begin blowing at 5 or 6 tonight but atleast they are blowing

[BC-Mark]

We were able to get started around 11:30 last night. The temperatures just weren't dropping and the humidity remained relatively high all night. We did get some decent production from 4am to 7:30am with a wet bulb around 22.

 

Tonight looks questionable with the ice/rain coming in but tomorrow night looks cold and we see good temps in the forecast through Wednesday night.

that sucks... when does bear plan on redoing the park?

[Tyler]

i've heard that the general plan for the park is to have it set up well by thursday but who knows if that will happen. and BC Mark, for only having a few hours of good production, you made a lot of great snow and it made all the difference in the world for todays conditions.

yea i was there this morning 9-1130 and it was realll nice. so much better than the past 2 days

[ket19]

yeah i got there at 10 this morning and conditions were way better than i expected given how crappy the weather was this week... woo! thanks bear!

[Freerider]

what time tonight is bear firing up?

[snowboarddude]

they should be now it is 27 with 90% humidity

 

unless the snowmaking chart on there webpage is wrong

 

i don't know why they arn't

[k2rider2690]

[snowboarddude]

[mollyskeez]
