rastasquid Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 I dont want to say I heard from a "very reliable source", but a friend of mine works at sno and said that they were going to have a crew on hand tonight to make the white stuff weather permitting. Quote
Glenn Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 We're holding you to this. If your source isn't reliable enough you will be run out of town. Quote

Snow guns are ready, Weather is perfect, Sn Quote
rastasquid Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Posted November 17, 2008 haha. I don't even look at that site anymore...its so busted. Quote

rastasquid Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Posted November 23, 2008 i didn't wanna start a new thread for this, but has anyone heard any rumors as to an opening? the site says look for an early opening this week. Quote
Ratboy Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 i didn't wanna start a new thread for this, but has anyone heard any rumors as to an opening? the site says look for an early opening this week. Was roaming around the hill this afternoon ... Snow guns are running, but the have a lot of work to do. Opening day is supposed to be 06 December but some folks are saying that they might be open for the "turkey day" weekend. Quote
rastasquid Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Posted November 23, 2008 hopefully they can get open for this week sometime. anyone know what happens if you bought a season pass and don't have a physical pass on opening day? Quote
Melissa Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 you should check out the OTHER Sno thread. Wednesday is the rumor. THe website says early this week. Quote
Ratboy Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 They have to get this filled in ... This was taken yesterday afternoon. Quote
Schif Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Thanks for the pics Ratboy. Really weird that they don't have the lazy river filled in yet. I wonder what they're waiting for? Quote
julz m Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 i hope to check sno out sometime this year. have never been there before but ive heard good things. its cool that they're having such an early opener Quote
be85 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Thanks for the pics Ratboy. Really weird that they don't have the lazy river filled in yet. I wonder what they're waiting for? I stopped by as well yesterday. it looks like there are some big piles of snow all over the place. The only thing I can think of is that they plan on grooming out the big piles at the last minute to protect against a warm spell. They seem pretty confident that they will be open next weekend. They hemmed and hawed about Thanksgiving, but I would be happy to ski on Friday. Too much food and football on Thursday. Quote
Melissa Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 I stopped by earlier today. Tons more snow in piles. It'll be interesting to see what if anything is open on Wednesday. Quote
millerm277 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 i hope to check sno out sometime this year. have never been there before but ive heard good things. its cool that they're having such an early opener An odd layout, and slow lifts....but very good (and in the past couple years, generous) snowmaking, and some great terrain.

Ratboy Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Weather is supposed to be warmer this week (40's) with some rain ... I'm hoping that the weather folks are wrong ... Quote
Melissa Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) Weather is supposed to be warmer this week (40's) with some rain ... I'm hoping that the weather folks are wrong ... that would be awful! what weather forecast are you looking at? weather.com looks decent... not for snow blowing, but i mean, not in the 40s (other than tomorrow). Edited November 24, 2008 by Melissa Quote
First Grade Teacher Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 They have to get this filled in ... This was taken yesterday afternoon. That's not a ski area, it's a water park! Oh wait it's not that either. Quote
Ratboy Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 that would be awful! what weather forecast are you looking at? weather.com looks decent... not for snow blowing, but i mean, not in the 40s (other than tomorrow). I usually check out the National Weather Service and AccuWeather. They seem to vary bit on their predictions , but both forecast daytime temps this week will be above freezing. That won't help Sno with their snowmaking ops ... There's too much brown on that mountain. Quote

riderossi Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 ... There's too much brown on that mountain. go have a look at northface Quote
rastasquid Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Posted November 24, 2008 the temps for nights this week arent terrible, they still might be able to blow a few nights Either way, I bet they could open highball, maybe mainline, and a few northface trails (looks like WL,smoke and boomer are pretty covered). Quote
Ratboy Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 go have a look at northface I did ... North face does look pretty good from a distance (Was not able to hike down take and pix). The live video feed shows the snow guns are still blasting ... I'll ride whatever they have open on Wednesday (even if it's the damned bunny hill) ... Quote
Melissa Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 Wow, the guns are still on. That has got to make a decent amount of snow. Quote
