Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.

100% is a bold prediction when Sidewinder hasn't been touched at all and Coming Soon is as lush and beautiful as @toast21602's lawn

I’m ashamed to say that it is actually greener than my lawn.

I’d be willing to bet they will be 100%  It won’t take much to resurface and build base on what is already open and temps not making it out of the 20s for 5 straight days makes production much better than normal. Only time will tell, but I think they’ll maximize their efforts with this cold spell

Felt good to get on the XC skis again!....Snow was pretty easy to break trail through....Could get a nice kick/glide once I looped around to my tracks....

You bring up a good point. The new trail name should definitely be called "Toasts Lush Lawn"...or something similar.

That would require it being green and lacking snow all season.... which it has... and probably will for a long time...

I wonder if you could trade your excellent mowing services for a season pass?

Valid question. I'd be lying if I said I didn't visualize myself cutting those blades of green yesterday.

Yeah I agree.   It's cold enough now to blow and they're behind.  Why don't they have the guns going on Sidewinder and/or Switchback??

They’ll get sidewinder and switchback open fast. Nothing bold about that prediction. 

 

Coming soon is natural snow only will be dick deep in 36 hours.

Because they are resurfacing already open terrain first.  Patience old grasshopper and the bumps will probably be reseeded as well one more time this season.

They never blow on open terrain while their open (barring the odd fan gun here and there).
They could easily be blowing on both trails during the day, especially Sidewinder with its automated guns, whereas Switchback production requires periodic monitoring.

Last night they shut down previously opened terrain to blow like upper Main Street and nightmare dreamweaver and I imagine it’s the same thing today. They’re smart to build up the base first before starting from scratch on sidewinder and switchback.

So then they were able to add even more base to those trails', so now while those trails are open, blow on the closed ones.

Seems a little too logical to do that.

No now they close different runs to blow on gotta resurface everything first before they move on to new terrain.  They have a plan until you’re in the war room with Ice Echilon and the other snowmakers you don’t know.

I'm seeing some moisture coming in this upcoming Saturday. Still yet to be determined the type of moisture, but it does look rainy as of right now. A slight movement of the coastal low and that could change pretty quickly. Keep an eye on it. I saw the Beltzville Buoy doing a dance this morning.

I saw something about it this morning, and i think you are correct, it could go either way.  I think thats why you see the Beltsville Bouy dancing......its just not sure if its gonna be a full blown diaper pop, or just a little farting.
