Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[Ride Delaware ?]

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

I'm obviously an SB pass holder, but why didn't he go Stowe last year? Basically the same season and Stowe has better snow/snowmaking...

And 7 miles closer but college freshman don't usually know those sorts of things. I chose a Stowe pass over the huge pass which consisted of sugarbush, jay peak and MRG.

temps next week appear to be headed in the cold direction....hopefully that trend will continue thru the end of the month and into dec.

[poconoceancity]

I thought next week looked warmer than yesterday's forecast. It's official BB will not open in November this year. My new prediction is December 5 for BB, December 12ish for blue and the 19th for JF.

Where his buds were

When I was a freshman they had the Stowe/sugarbush pass and when they ended that I didn't get to ski with half my ski buddies in college. Kind of sucked....that's a real first world problem. The only time I ever had a ski rack was when I was in college because I was giving alot of people rides skiing.

i skied Sawmill in college.  pretty epic.

Where did you go to college??

The forecast just trended down a few degrees. Low of 23 Sunday night and 22 Monday night for allentown. 20 and 23 for the lows for mount pocono. I'm thinking it could be an inversion at Blue the true. They can blast the hell out of valley school so justo and toast can be happy to have something to ski on!!!!

[Ride Delaware ?]

Temps still look moderate after this little cool down. Mid 20's up north. It's going to be tough to blow on some of the lower terrain at the Bush.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Does the busy have any snow down already like Stowe and Killington?? I think most vermont areas will be able to go around the clock snowmaking top to bottom on Monday that is gonna save their thanksgiving...if this seasonal blast of colder air keeps trending colder maybe a few PA and NY areas will open for thanksgiving as well...white ribbon of death sounds pretty good right about now.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Wow there are alot of ski resorts open. I could 56 areas open and Killington, Sunday river and sugarloaf are the only ones open in the east. 22" base at alta how boney is that wow.

Forecast low of 20 tomorrow night for mount pocono and a high of only 35 on Monday. Hmmm we could be skiing at big boulder next weekend

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Tonight is the night to watch the temperatures plummet. I advise everybody to bring in their tropical plants....we are going to have a hard freeze.

Thank you for the advice. I will bring in all variety of tropical plants today and keep them indoors for the rest of the winter. It doesn't look like the lows are as cold as first predicted. Only time will tell. I'll see you al Black Friday at JFBB.

This blows

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Lows are the same as predicted.

Dewpoint keeps dropping. Humidity is low. Will be rapid cooling tonight. Humidity a dry 42% will be lower later this afternoon.

I'll be watching the webcams tonight wahahahahooey

[Ride Delaware ?]

Bush has snow down on the Heaven's Gate trails. Reports from up there say they are good to go on Thanksgiving. The stuff below is a different story. The Bush doesn't have the capacity to run t2b. They can run about 3/4 of it at once. They blew some snow down low during a recent inversion, but if they are going to get t2b, they are going to have to hit it hard the next 3 days. I wouldn't be surprised if they only run to the base at night. They usually move the guns up top when snowmaking conditions are marginal to save $$$. They have a pretty strict snowmaking budget, so they try to maximize it.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Temperatures are dropping a steady two degrees an hour. I'm thinking the guns will be out up at blue between 10pm and midnight.

[larrytbull]

spoke to some people @ blue today before i left,  even if they blow, they prob won't open till dec 5, but don't hold me to that, totally informal conversations

12-5 isn't bad actually. I'll take it.

I won't. Last year they said no way they were opening on Black Friday. Well, they did.

35° at Mount Mik right now. Hiked to the top to confirm lights on at Blue.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

They opened 6 days before Black Friday last year.

[toast21602]

Exactly.

I live about 2 miles from Elk. The lights are on and the guns are blowing, although they dont plan to open tenatively till december 9. Montage, on their facebook page, said they would be blowing tonight. 

 

Im hoping with 3 nights in a row of cold temps we can maybe be skiing blue or BB on black friday
