That's usually not the case, since humidity is high. Not sure how cold it actually got last night, but assuming it was around 30° or so, humidity would have to be ~50% or less to get good (non crappy ice-snow) production. I'd rather have em wait til they can blow good snow than deal with impenetrable ice all season. You almost had me there. Hope you're hungry for opening day cookies again. 2 Quote

They should starting blowing tonight on switchback really change things up for opening. 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Posted November 14, 2014 Are you guys stoked for ski season or what???? I should start stocking up on parking lot beers but I'm afraid if I have em around I'll drink em all before opening day. Opening day last year was a heck of a party. Something about skiing in PA in November. I wonder if ILikeIceCream will be at Blue opening day. A shame his brother drove over his skis. That is a real hermanshaker. Maybe GSSucks will fly in for a free donut. 2 Quote
indiggio Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 My belly-button's been puckering and unpuckering all day! Thinking about scraping the storage wax off the skis. Quote

The best was the time me and atomic Jeff closed switchback. We put the rope across it and had a good 3-4'runs to ourselves before patrol pulled the role. Was funny seeing people ski right past it. It was an uncrowded night, I don't think that shit would fly on a weekend. 1 Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 Early start on the snowmaking. Should be some decent coverage in the AM. Who's hiking it? Quote
toast21602 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 i'll be up there tomorrow at some point. probably after a run on the AT. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 I just drove past blue. Main Street is getting blasted. 2 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Posted November 15, 2014 Wow they can probably open next weekend. Quote
poconoceancity Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 They said Black Friday this morning on nbc 10 blue will be open. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 Hopefully with main street and lazy. Quote

tnt Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 Awesome. Getting psyched. Would love to come up black friday. Crowd predictions - black friday or that saturday more packed? Quote
poconoceancity Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 I think they would rather open later with more trails. BB will open sooner with the equivalent of one tilted football field. Black Friday May become the new norm in the pokes. Shawnee used to be the only one that would announce that date around the first of November. 1 Quote
AtomicSkier Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 I'd be happy with just Vista again if it meant opening in November...maybe I'm in the minority though.... 1 Quote
