Robert2 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Thanks for the snow making pictures. November snow making doesn't seem so far away now that you show those pictures. I've been kayaking 5 miles every day since April and they told me today at the county park that I have to be off the lake December 1st. Looks like I'll get off the lake on a Friday and go snowboarding on a Monday. I'm stoked. I bought a new snowboard Saturday and new bindings this summer. An old skier once said " if you rest you rust". I didn't rust this year. Quote
method9455 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Posted October 22, 2008 This is cool, Big Boulder's park crew built the jibs for Mount Snow this year. Quote

NiftySHIFTY Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 You should all be jealous since I hiked all the way up boulder in knee deep snow just to earn first turns, and then built a mini booter at the bottom near where the plaza normally is. Quote

method9455 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Posted November 17, 2008 bump Hoping NiftyShifty puts his pictures in here rather than creating another thread on the topic, also hoping those pictures show some snow getting made Quote
NiftySHIFTY Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Currently waiting for my friends, and then we're off. Prepared with 5 cameras and 4 people, i'm sure some decent pics will get posted. I'm pretty stoked, i've done this for a few years now and it's never any less exciting than the year before. Boring classes tomorrow, so I should get this pics up tonight. Check back around 11 or so. Edited November 18, 2008 by NiftySHIFTY Quote

Here are the official JFBB pics from their website (jfbb.com, check out the media section) Must not be all that cold yet since they aren't running that much water through them in this picture. Though I'm sure as the night goes on that will change. This one is the base of freedom by the conveyor Tower guns in action Edited November 18, 2008 by Method9455 Quote
skier89 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 the guns are up and running on boulder http://72.9.28.19:4002/user/cgi-bin/view_S_t_uF.thtml and also freedom http://72.9.28.19:4000/user/cgi-bin/view_S_t_uF.thtml Quote
rastasquid Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 news just reported on boulder's snow making. they are blowing on 6 slopes to be open for sat Quote
NiftySHIFTY Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 Damn guys, I take a 100 mile round trip to get some pics, and when I return you already have some. Talked to a guy up there they were having an interview with, and he said Saturday 10am is opening day/time. 19 Guns going strong on Freedom, and I was very surprised to see them blowing across the entire mountain. Even on that bunnys elbow or schuss or whatever it's called, they had guns going. Oh well, here's what I got: Temperature was 24 degrees while we were there from 8:15-8:45, and a perfectly clear sky so I'm sure it was dropping quick. I had my hand held weather station with me and it said humidity was like 63%. Took a ride over to CamelBack, and the temps was 28 at the top, and that's the only place they had the guns going. Not very many either from the way it looked, but who knows they have so many no trespassing signs it's crazy, so I didn't risk hiking. The guy at Boulder was very cool, he was explaining how they'll go at any chance they get, and that's what the industry is all about, taking risks. When I asked he said feel free to walk around and get some pics. Quote

Your pics are better quality than JFBB's anyway so I'm stoked as hell. Where do you go to school? I thought you were closer than that based on you being up there for the first storm as well.

NiftySHIFTY Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 Glad you like the pics. I go to Northampton Area Community College...pretty lame but i'm going for Communication Design aka. computer graphics and I don't mind. I like my new truck and I figured I'd get some use out of the low gas prices, so yeah I do take some un-needed trips for little or no reason, but oh whatever it was a fun night and I continued my tradition.

Papasteeze Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 good stuff. thanks for the pics. I posted up other places, hope you don't mind. Quote
