Ratboy Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schif Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julz m Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be85 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerm277 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share 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).

First Grade Teacher Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rastasquid Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share 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).

Ratboy Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share 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) ...

Melissa Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Wow, the guns are still on. That has got to make a decent amount of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
