AtomicSkier Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 Is camelback snowmaking shut down for the year? is this the snow we'll be skiing on till march? blue's been continously building stockpiles in every nook and cranny they have (ask thinksnow, they have some 20 foot + piles to the left of the quad) and theyve been blowin on trails, and make the bumps soft as ever, why isnt camelback makin that base deeper? (at this time last year, didnt they crack the 100inch barrier?) they're only down aorund 50 or so Quote
skidude Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 They are probably just blowing where there are rocks because then later in the season they wil "run out of snow and need to shut down" damn camelbitch....beach Quote
nick malozzi Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 yea i just dont get it. the only thing i can think could be the reason for it is that damn camelbeach Quote

I have only one quess why camelback stopped making snow and that is camelbeach. Quote
skidude Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 We'll be making snow tonight (Monday night) on Marjie's Delight, The Rocket, Lower Cleopatra, Honeymoon Lane, Coolmoor, Across the top of the Mountain, and from the Sunbowl to the Stevenson Express. All trails are currently full width and snowmaking operations will continue at night, usually during the midweek in preparation for busier weekends. With the natural snow we've received, the skiing and riding today was great! Dave K Camelback The 1" which is probably more than they got the skiing and riding was great. How come no Daily pics if it was so good? Quote
SomeGuyWhoSkis Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 Probably too lazy to take out the old camera. Or didn't have their picture lackies in today. Quote
nick malozzi Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 my bet is dave k never even hit a trail today. and of course conditions were great! aren't they always at CB, haha. when i saw that post i just couldnt hold down my laughter. as atomic has stated. the CBMB is beyond a marketing tool. i have deemed it Propaganda. its rediculous.

Dave_S Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 My issue is that they don't seem to have an interest in extending the season. Last year was a joke as far as closing goes. They could have easily extended the season by 1-3 weeks but had no interest. I do not hold a season ticket but would have been willing to ski spring conditions and pay for it but CB does not want to extend the season! BB/JF encourages spring skiing by offering reduced rates. If the rates would be reduced and the season extended more people would show up. I would also bet that the return on investment would be significant. I for one analyze how much I spend each season to determine if the season pass makes sense for me. I could have easily been persuaded if only the season had lasted a bit longer. I will still come out ahead this year but all it would take is a couple of more opportunities for me to get my money's worth and I would take the leap. Quote
romemadman Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 have u ever noticed how big dave k is no wonder his signiture is a cheseburger Quote
romemadman Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 and they have been making no snow and they could be good till march if they have been making snow every night that it has been cold enough Quote
chrisjur Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 HA! Yes, of course, everyday is a fantastic day at Camelback if you listen to the Daves reports. Camelback is always a skier's shangri-la, no questions asked. The only exaggerators as bad as CB are the folks at Killington. Killington peak could bust open and spew lava down the slopes and the Killington snow report would say something like "Spring-like conditions prevail today. Be prepared for BIG bumps! It's great out there!" Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Posted January 27, 2004 have u ever noticed how big dave k is no wonder his signiture is a cheseburger DaveyJ eats ALOT more then DaveK....hard to believe, but its true Quote
nick malozzi Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 hey i eat a ton too and i am a stick! but anyway i am glad they started making snow again! doesn't stop my vendetta though! lol Quote
skifreak Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Well its about time they started them up again. Quote
