Spring mountain made snow today.

I feel like it would take a long time to cover their tiny slope with that kind of production.  TP4 went to spring a few years ago.

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

You're probably right. Early season Catskills trip anyone??

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

Hope thei lift making people are taking advantage of the nice weather this week

With the way the long range forecast is, I think this gonna be one of those seasons when VT, NY and PA areas all open about the same time.

It does really look that way right now.  I keep hearing about a pattern flip mid month, but that remains to be seen.  im still going with K is gonna have a hard time pulling off their ski race, which, of course doesnt bode well for us either.

That sad thing about all of this is that the buoy isn't even up and running yet this winter. They took it in for maintenance over the summer so hopefully it will be back out soon ready for a fresh pop.

Ridge nothing to be sad about we’ll likely be skiing next month like almost every season.

Fun fact..in the 1992-93 ski season Hunter mountain was open from November 5th to May 5th yes 183 days.  That season Blue was open until April 10th.

of course i am intrigued by the big sno cone maker, but honestly it looks like a really expensive, possibly impractical toy.  it will be interesting to follow along.

It seems strange that spring would buy something like that, especially when their lifts look like they are about to collapse. I wonder if it's just to fill patches between snowmaking weather?

Maybe Spring will use that thing for rail jams. 

Serious question, are rail jams still a thing? 

RIP halfpipes while we're at it.

Thats kinda what i was thinking. It looks like it has limited area it can cover.

I don’t think the park scene at least locally is as big as it was in the late 2000s. I remember when Montage had the super pipe..I wish blue didn’t have that park on dreamweaver.  With a park for a non park skier it’s kind of herky jerky doesn’t flow well. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

oh sorry this was about spring mountain well I don’t think Blue needs to invest in these things..they should save the money for the fishing pole rentals at the fishing pond and for instructor uniforms.

Snowmaking temperatures return November 13th, could we be in for a Root Friday miracle?  First weekend of December would be alright as well, I’m not greedy. One thing I’ve noticed is this fall overnight lows have been lower than forecast..I’m sure that will change as we get into inversion season.

Anything before Mardi Gras is a bonus.

Another week of sunshine and 50 to 60 degree temps on tap. #noheatNovember rolls on. 😐

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

A week from now Blue could be blowing.

Grass doesnt grow when the temps are under 50 degrees.  looks like mowing season will be over sortly.
