That must have hurt the snowpack a little. Expand I believe it..and didn't hurt the snowpack much..low sun angle this time of year and short daylight hours..if it was March way more snow would have melted...they'll be blowing in a few hours..Maybe we'll have 70s again in February that was some great bonus spring skiing followed by a foot and a half of freshies in mid march. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) This is all bonus skiing. This coming weekend as well. And then maybe it will get cooler and more terrain will open!!!! I'll be at 5 days on December 3rd. Last season didn't even ski till December 14th and still managed 58'days..45 at Blue and 13 in the Rockies. Edited November 30, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote

According to the scientific weather experiment I conducted this morning (aka drive into work, look at temperature on dashboard) it was 25 at the base. Guns were blowing hard. The top of Blue Mountain Pass however it was a different story... bone dry and 30 degrees. 32 on the back side. 2 Quote
saltyant Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 With a little help from Ullr and maybe 1 or 2 volcanic sacrifices you guys will be tubing in no time. Quote

Im gonna miss December 23rd and 24th because I'll be in Washington DC Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 Snowmakers blog indicated they are shooting for upper main street too, which would double the fun, especially if they can get some bumps going. 1 Quote

RootDKJ Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 Any speculation if Blue will remain open mid-week 12/4-12/8? Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 I'm guessing the following week 12/11 they'll be open midweek if the predicted cold snap hits. Quote

toast21602 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Posted December 4, 2017 Lazy Mile this weekend. Midweek opening of the 6pack with limited services from the lodge. Next weekend full services and tubing will open. Quote
eaf Posted December 4, 2017 Report Posted December 4, 2017 I don't see anything going on in the Valley. Not a single gun working. So much for "our one of a kind automated system will take every opportunity of blowing snow". Quote

Expand Wet bulb is too high to blow this AM in the valley humidity is near 100% and temperature barely below freezing. Starting Wednesday night they should be able to blow the majority of the time going into next week. 1 Quote
