boardin_nerd Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks MARK! I sure hope this isn't a sign of what will go on the rest of the winter... Quote
snowboarddude Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 thanks for the updates this weather really sucks.. hopefuly christmas will be nice so bear can make back some of that $$ they lost with all this rain! Quote
Johnny Law Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Both the 6-10 and 8-14 day forecasts from the CPC look good with colder than normal temps, hopefully things will turn around. Quote
boardin_nerd Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 HOPEFULLY thing will turn around... So if its supposed to snow today could it be a possibility of blowing snow tonight? Quote
k2rider2690 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 well lets up the long term forcast holds because it is looking pretty good! Today Dec 16 Rain / Snow 35 Quote
boardin_nerd Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) sucks for this week :-( but thats totally awesome about after that.. lets hope it stays that way. EDIT: probably only a white one up at BC. haha not any real snow... Edited December 16, 2008 by boardin_nerd Quote
BC-Mark Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Posted December 18, 2008 It looks like the weather is breaking in our favor and we are going to receive some frozen precip of one kind or another tomorrow. Let's hope the forecast calling for 6" - 10" of snow is the one that comes true but at this point, anything is better than rain. We should begin making snow Friday night and will be able to make the next 5 nights almost definitely. There is an outside chance for additional terrain to open Saturday and a much better chance for Sunday. Quote

JibHonk Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 I hate the weather man so much anyone down to burn his house down? Quote
boardin_nerd Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) hey i'm in! that way he has to be outside in the crappy weather... just let me no when and where Edited December 20, 2008 by boardin_nerd Quote
Boarder1x9 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 what did bear end up getting out of this storm, is it worth going up tomorrow? Quote
boardin_nerd Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 Well i dont know what they got outta it.. but i know there gunna try and make some snow tonight. so conditions tomorrow shouldn't be too bad.... doubt they'll be ne freshies though Quote
BC-Mark Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Posted December 20, 2008 So the 8" to 10" of snow never materialized yesterday but the good news is we did get a few inches of sleet and freezing rain that added to the base and, after the groomers are done with it, actually rides pretty well. In addition, we got the guns fired up around 3am and will have some fresh made snow on top of the corduroy so today should be pretty nice. The added bonus is we were able to make enough snow to open F lift today, a day earlier than anticipated, and tickets will still be $25 for Saturday. Sunday we go to full price so come take advantage of the bargain today. The plan is to make snow tonight, tomorrow night, all day Monday, Monday night, possibly Tuesday and definitely Tuesday night. By the end of this stretch we should be covered edge to edge all over the mountain! Quote
boardin_nerd Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 Yay! sounds awesome mark! lets just hope after that it stays cold! Quote
BC-Mark Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Posted December 25, 2008 Happy Holidays everyone! Santa brought us a lot of rain yesterday and and through the night. The good news is we didn't lose too much snow. We will likely be able to make snow tonight and then starting again mid week next week. The conditions should be pretty nice today and I would anticipate them to be even better tomorrow. Quote
boardin_nerd Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 thanks mark. and merry christmas! hopefully the weather will be nice for us tonight and we'll get some snow making :-) Quote
BC-Mark Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Posted December 31, 2008 Snowmaking will begin tonight around 9PM. We will be making until about 8AM tomorrow. The forecast looks great and we should be able to make every night for the next 5 at least. It looks like we might even get a hand from Mother Nature in the form or real snow on Friday. Quote
boardin_nerd Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 winter is finally cooperating!! thanks mark Quote
Rowsdower Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) the next two weeks look great! and the longer range gfs models look good too Edited December 31, 2008 by Rowsdower Quote
EAZY-Emuntz Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Looks as if they should get some decent production tonight Weather for Macungie Quote
HouseMuzik Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 the next two weeks look great! and the longer range gfs models look good too Did somebody just really mention the gfs weather model.. do you mean i'm not the only nerd in here who looks at that shit? FWIW, that model does have somewhat of a persistent cold bias in the winter in the long range... Quote
snowboarddude Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 whats the link for them again? Quote
boardin_nerd Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 woah. are you kidding? i would look at those models all the time.. but i dont have the link... so feed it to me and i'll be a nerd with you Quote
HouseMuzik Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 woah. are you kidding? i would look at those models all the time.. but i dont have the link... so feed it to me and i'll be a nerd with you http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/ I suggest you also google a little reading on understanding what these models do. It will help you to understand the output better. That said.. here's what I'm seeing Sunday's storm will be more freezing rain that anything. Sucks cause its going to ruin some good conditions.. Wednesday's also looks more liquid.. the storm track is way too far inland. That said.. the period from the 13th on looks nice.. with a Alberta Clipper system about every 36 hours. Wish i had better news Quote
