snowboarddude Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 the webcams make it look like they have less snow. just got home from bear and they have alot of snow for just one night of blowing the one pile at the base area is 2 to 3 feet already
bermbuster49 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 i'm gonna head up tomorrow to grab my pass and sneak a peak. i'll try to take some pictures as well
BC-Mark Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) 11/20/08 Update: I wish I had definitive news, but we did not get the production we had hoped for last night. The predicted low of 23F never materialized and Brad and his team were left to battle it out with constantly fluctuating temperatures that were marginal at best. As of today, we are unable to predict whether we will have enough snow to open Saturday. Tonight, Friday and Saturday nights all look very promising. We will have a definite answer regarding Saturday by tomorrow morning. If we are unable to open Saturday, we try to open Sunday if conditions permit. Think Cold! Edited November 20, 2008 by BC-Mark
Rowsdower Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 It was snowing when I walked to class at 4:30... and I'm in Philly.
BC-Mark Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 11/20/08 Evening Update We are sitting at 32F right now. Unfortunately, the trend shows rising temps and humidity. The snowmaking team is coming in around 10PM to see if the trend reverses but the hourly forecast doesn't look too great. Hopefully we can get some production between midnight and 8AM. Let's hope the forecast holds for Friday and Saturday night. 20F would be great!
EAZY-Emuntz Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 Would you guys stay open for the weekdays too? My school has Thanksgiving break all this week and I can't come this weekend because of sports conflicts and I'm looking forward to coming up every day this week.
BC-Mark Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 11/21/08 Update: Our low last night was 28F with 85% humidity. Needless to say, with the warm water, it was not a great scenario for snowmaking. We will not be able to open on Saturday, but we are still hoping for Sunday. I will post tomorrow to update on the possibility of Sunday. The rail jam is still on for tonight, so come out and take advantage of the snow we have made!
snowboarddude Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 that really sucks the lows tonight and tomorrow are 20 with humidity in the 50 n 60's so hopefuly the snowmaking team will be able take advantage of that and we will be out boarding/skiing by the end of the weekend thanks for they update mark
