As long as it is not really crappy we will still have the jam. A small amount of rain will just help the sliding all that more. Plus is is supposed to be like 60 or so.

I'll make a decision about 2pm today. this is for palmerton. Nice wind shift! The caveat is..... Here comes the cold!

 

Today: Showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 61. East wind 8 to 15 mph becoming south. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.

 

Tonight: Showers likely. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Cloudy, with a low around 38. West wind between 9 and 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

You should wear a helmet. Especially if you are new to the carpet skiing.

im wearing on i was just wondering if u needed them to ride cuz of liability.

[skier150]

It is not raining at the moment. The Accueweather hourly show rain until 5, then cloudy till 6, then rain till late. It is hard to really tell what is going to happen. I will check back in at 3pm. If it is only showers or cloudy we may be able to continue. We will need some snow for the box though, as we have none right now.

[mollyskeez]

please stop raining please stop raining please please please

my thoughts exactly.

[jeff]

so is this thing still on or what

[skier150]

Not raining too hard at this time. Weather reports still say that we are going to be getting more rain.

 

What is the general thought out there, are you planning on coming or thinking about ditching it?

 

Remember that we will need snow, without we have no box lip.

[mollyskeez]

im still coming.i can;t pick up snow though, i would if i could

 

so if noone brings snow theres no lip at all? or just no snow lip?

[mollyskeez]

another person in.

[skier150]

Without the snow or more wood chips, there is no lip at all. We built it for the jam to need 8" of snow to mach the rail. I guess one might be able to ollie up on to it each time...

[mollyskeez]

so is this thing still on? cuz i gotta leave soon haha

[mollyskeez]

im guessing no?

[skier150]

Still a good possibility, not raining here. Wish I knew if anyone else was thinking about coming out or not.
