It depends what the weather brings in two weeks.  They’ve pulled it off before in a pretty small window.  As Johnny law says,”with shorter daylight hours it has to get cold eventually”

It doesn’t matter to me if it gets cold in the first half of November..as long as blue is open before like mid December I’m happy.

That occurs about 20% of the time.  Maybe big boulder will have a bonkyard for root Friday.

It's a la Nina year. I'm not really sure what that means but I know it's not good

I think he says something about the Earth's rotation around the sun too.

unfortunately I don't think they are in a rush to put down snow until that lift is done.

Has somebody in Blue mountain snowmaking or operations told you this or just speculation?

The more i think that relying on the new lift to work right out of the box, perfect, and blow a bunch of snow on trails that only that lift services, could be the mother of all fuck ups.  But, i guess they have the tot lift or what ever it is, as a back up, but its not a great plan.  If they blow on paradise, sunny delight, and then move to like challenge, those are trails that can be serviced by both the quad and six.  Cause we all know, neither of those lifts will run for an entire day without needing to put some more quarters in it.  

i still think when it gets cold, Blue will make snow.  What they make snow on really depends on how that lift is coming along, and their confidence level in it.  We all know, even new stuff can break.

I’m surprised at the lack of chatter in the new lift thread.  I guess I should check the webcams

Thanks, I hope that lift is finally up and running this weekend so I can take a scenic leaf viewing ride up Blue Mountain the true mountain. Let us know what you find out from the webcams!!

Toast I bet you’re pumped that the grass is still growing.  Any lawn mowing after Halloween is bonus.  There’s even dandelions growing again.
