Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

14" new at A Basin

I shoulda taken that early season trip...

[VTmark]

 

I wait sometimes, it depends on what is going on. Weeknights are pretty relaxed, Sat/Sun morning first thing nobody is waiting......

 

And to think TP4 and I still beat you to the top of home stretch many times.

 

(btw I'm drunk and getting that quote toock for tries.

Starting to look more and more promising that temps will drop after this week long warmup. Outside chance of some places opening up for Thanksgiving in VT.

Not worth it. Only a few trails open at Abasin and Loveland. I think Keystone just opened but same deal.

I have friends in Denver, so it wouldn't have been solely to ride, but that would have been what booked the plane ticket...

 I have however seen several sources that say something will happen with something somewhere.

Have you been up yet Barb??

[Ride Delaware ?]

The places with a shot at opening for Thanksgiving (if the current forecasts hold), are the ones with downloading. I don't know any outside of Killington, Sunday River, and Sugarbush that can...

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

What are the odds of a Black Friday opening at Big boulder????

 

If the long range forecast is accurate we might have Main Street and lazy mile open for XMAS.

[poconoceancity]

BB has a 50/50 chance of opening thanks giving weekend. If the forecast for Temps going below freezing at night for 5 nights in a row before the 28th holds true they can get that football field covered.

Was gonna take the kids to Loveland since they had off yesterday. However, forecast was calling for 50mph winds, no thanks. Probably get up somewhere in the next week or so.

BB will be open. All they need are two sno-cone machines. One for the top, and one 50 feet down the hill at the base. Turn on for 30 minutes, groom, and they are open for business AND can sell sno-cones.

[poconoceancity]

Yeah, it doesn't take much.

[Ride Delaware ?]

Do BB's temps look conducive for that, or are we wishcasting?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I just looked at their temps....well temps for mount pocono and looks marginal at best.

 

If temperatures trend down 5-6 degrees it could happen.

[poconoceancity]

The micro climate of lake Harmony looks cold enough.

I give it about a 1% Chance for Boulder to open Black Friday.  Your second sentence is what people may want to start warming up to.

Making snow with sno-cone machines is the only way they will be able to pull that off.

Wishcasting on the highest level.  I will be cutting my lawn on Black Friday.  

[Ride Delaware ?]

I'm guessing that I will be driving North on Black Friday, but I may opt to go earlier if Sugarbush opens with downloading. I don't see a point in downloading at Killington when I can do it fo free at the Bush.

Late start, warm and rain in the middle and then a strong finish. I hope he's wrong.

This "blob" is really throwing off the long range forecasts. Are these blobs normal?

Yes and no, it's a super persistent area of high pressure. Has it happened before sure, on this scale and for this period of time, probably but not while humans have been keeping records.

 

Alot of that article is conjecture, you can't forecast the AO more than about 2 weeks in advance, how the fuck he think it will do X in January is beyond me.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hard to believe only 10 days from now Blue opened last year and it was already frigid. Except for two frosty mornings its mainly been like 50-70 degrees. I haven't even had to wear a hoodie out..I think I should try and save more Johnny cash. Could be more travel this season if winter gets started slowly. I may have to venture over to the accuweather forums and read a little but more on this.

 

I'm hopeful that a drastic change happens so PoconoOceanCity is making turns at Big Boulder on Root Friday.

Thanks for the support GSS!
