GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 Snowmakers have snowmobiles you know. Quote
enjoralas Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 Guns are back on. Wasn't really expecting that tonight 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 Nice stuff was 37 degrees out when I was just outside and thought they might turn the guns on ...they're going HAM this year. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 Down to 32 degrees in the A. They won't be able to blow tomorrow night but should get 12 good hours in overnight and chance of snowmaking Sunday night more likely Monday night. Boom Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 Looks to be an inversion this AM. 27 in the A and 31 in Mount Poke N Hoe. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 Was cool seeing the webcams last night and this morning blowing. Looks like possible snowmaking tomorrow night and likely snowmaking Monday night. Then maybe Wednesday and Thursday nights. If they can get open for Root Friday or next weekend great otherwise I really think they're open the first weekend in December or maybe even during the week after thanksgiving. Temperatures look favorable. Best case we're only 6 sleeps away from opening day at Blue and worst case about 2 weeks. Quote
RootDKJ Posted November 20, 2017 Report Posted November 20, 2017 Great, now my whole morning is wasted while I watch snowgun-o-vision. 4 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 20, 2017 Report Posted November 20, 2017 Nothing to see guns are off but should be back on tonight and then Wednesday night. Very agressive of Blue..that's my boy Blue Quote
toast21602 Posted November 20, 2017 Report Posted November 20, 2017 Really pushing to get open this weekend. If they would line Vista on either side with guns we wouldn't be having this conversation right now and we would be there skiing. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 20, 2017 Report Posted November 20, 2017 I think they're gonna open around December 1. This weekend would be a bonus. Actually anything before March is bonus. 1 Quote
theprogram4 Posted November 20, 2017 Report Posted November 20, 2017 i have a good feeling about this weekend Quote

One year when all the weather stars line up, they should just annihilate Vista with every thing they have, just to open once before BB. 1 Quote

Bad idea the vista lift doesn't have enough capacity for opening day crowds. 1 Quote

Stop saying that. What's the harm in them being open a week earlier? Just because you don't want to ski Vista, doesn't mean other people don't. It's the same reason you don't go to BB. 4 Quote

I know it would be a mess. Like worse than disastrous at BB with just one lift. I just think they should do it once. Quote

They opened with just vista, easy out and come around a few years ago..I had the first civilian vista chair and by the second time I got to the vista lift there was a long line and the line ended up over a half hour long so I retreated to the parking lot. Worst opening day ever then they shutdown for awhile and reopened with just the vista lift for a few days as well. Quote

Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk Usually Main Street does open top to bottom. Very rarely it's easy out to vista to midway to lower Main Street opening day. Early season peeps are more likely younger people and snowboarders so it's important to have a bonkyard for the JibHonks on opening day. Quote

Is it really just about as steep as Vista? Quote
