Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I sort of believe that dry snow accumulates much faster due to high precip to snow ratios. An inch of precip makes about 8-10 inches of wet snow but 20-25 inches of dry snow.

Its going to bring lots of non-dairy creamer on Vista starting around January 10th till mid February, then it will warm up to about 75 degrees for a week and blue will close for the season, only ever opening Vista. Its going to be a good one boys, get it while the getting is good!!

Brighton opens tomorrow.  Steamboat opens this weekend.  Alta is projecting Friday.  Trying to have patience.    

 

Really the sucky thing is alot of the western resorts have gotten more natural snow already than we get all year.

That's reason for me to save more Johnny Cash so I can spend the ski season in the Rockies.

That's a lot of tombstones...

For sure I figure 4 months in the Rockies will run me about $15k plus gotta pay my bills back here. I can delegate most of my work out to the office manager during our slow winter months. I will save some Johnny Cash not having to buy a blue mountain pass.

How many year plan is this?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

How many year plan is this?

I could prob swing it next season but more realistically in like 3-5 years and I'd like to spend every season out there and the rest of the year in Allentown.

Resort of choice?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Resort of choice?

I think Jackson hole as a home base and where I'd get a season pass and then travel to some other areas. There are motels in Jackson that rent rooms for under $300 a week mid winter.

Looking like Big Boulder might be able to open with a bonkyard on root Friday.

[poconoceancity]

Root friday?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Root friday?

Root always used to do a countdown to Black Friday so now it's called Root Friday. Unfortunately Root just had surgery and will be out of commission for awhile.

No it was on his foot...he was out alot of last season cause of a Crossfit injury.

In 3 years I will be kidless and can do whatever the f*ck I want...BOOM!

Nice is your youngest in 10th grade...

WTF? Fewer people die in the winter?

No more people die during the winter but sales are way lower because memorial stones generally aren't installed during the winter time because the cemetery's don't install concrete foundations during the winter time. For example we've done more business so far in November than all of January and February combined. This warm fall is really helping out business. Most monument companies shutdown during the winter months and from late December to late February many of our suppliers shutdown.

[Barb]

^yup. Glad I started early.

He enjoys it and his winter stoke factor is rising. Changed to a Stowe season pass holder this year (last year was SB ). But reality is setting in that he has to study his a$$ off to get by. I warned him college was different from hs, now he knows Edited November 19, 2015 by tarponhead
