Ride Delaware ? Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Saw pics on KZone and it looked pretty impressive. Since it was limited to pass holders and discount card holders, crowds looked to be in check. They should be able to make some serious headway tonight with summit temps in the low teens. Long range temps drop into some snowmaking range on Friday, so they can definitely resurface. They may have a chance to stay open... Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 They might have a chance at some nighttime snowmaking on Friday and then early next week (if the completely unreliable forecast holds), so they may have an outside chance to operate continuously IF Mike decides to stay open tomorrow. Official word coming later today. Quote
JFskiDan Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 I'm pretty impressed they pulled it off. I know they have the equipment to do it, but they were really putting a lot of faith in the weather forecast. Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Stowe had some fresh snow. Looks like decent conditions if you have rock skis. http://www.tetongravity.com/video/ski/did-you-ski-this-weekend Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 I'm pretty impressed they pulled it off. I know they have the equipment to do it, but they were really putting a lot of faith in the weather forecast.They pretty much keep the K 3000s and the SR-7s in use solely for early season. Those things use 60 times the air of a Low E gun (roughly 5 cfm to 300 cfm or something close), but they put out like 10 times the snow. There are only so many hydrants to go around, and this early they aren't worried about terrain expansion as much as growing the base in the North Ridge area to continuously operate. Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) They are open again Sunday Edited November 13, 2015 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote

You gotta meet up with the PASRs at blue this season!!! Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 My problem with meeting PASRs is you all get out there too early for someone like me with 100 minute drive to Blue Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) But I am a slack bastard and plus if I am going to get up that early it will probably be to hit the 'Skills not just poke a nose. Edited November 13, 2015 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 1 Quote
