RootDKJ Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 There's a big misconception that if it's snowing, you can blow snow. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should starting blowing tonight on switchback really change things up for opening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiggio Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 My belly-button's been puckering and unpuckering all day! Thinking about scraping the storage wax off the skis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 What asshole gave this thread 1 star damn. ya that shit blew my mind Nothing will ever blow my mind more than the day I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. Shit was weird wild stuff. Changed my entire perspective on lyfe. No! Then people might figure out just how good a run it really is. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Awesome. Getting psyched. Would love to come up black friday. Crowd predictions - black friday or that saturday more packed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
