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".

 

The automated system can only make snow.  it cant make the weather.  Its not possible.  What ever they were making this morning was really dank anyways.  no, thats not the word i was looking for there....dank describes something else.

Sadly before they can blow snow again late tomorrow night a lot of snow is gonna melt as it's already 50 degrees out now with rain on the way.

looking at the 10 day forecast, they could probably get open earlier than that if they wanted to

Maybe only night time temperatures for those areas until mid next week. Blue should be able to blow a good amount during the day time.

By Sunday most likely but they'll have to resurface existing terrain as well as a ton of snow is gonna melt in the next 36 hours. Vista will likely be almost completely melted out by tomorrow at this time. Wind warmth rain and fog 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I'm not expecting the six pack and lower lot until mid next week

They were confident enough to take groomers on Home Stretch and push Valley School - I'd be surprised if they lost *everything* there or on Vista. Heck, Vista is still a solid foot thick everywhere.

If they skip over upper Main St. In favor of Tut's, Lazy, Home Stretch things look very different than if they first rework Midway, Come Around, Lower Main and Easy Out.

Trust me I've been watching snow melt for years.  Fog eats snow and when it doesn't get near freezing at night the snow actually melts from the bottom as well due to the warm ground...trust me by tomorrow afternoon vista will be nearly bare as well as homestretch. Lower Main Street will be ok.  Then the snowmakers will have their work cut out.

Yuge piles of snow in the valley, or so I've heard.

They actually mowed them down like saturday or sunday at somepoint.  When i was down at the Valley on Sunday and the guns were off, it wasnt quite as an impressive collection of snow as i had thought.  But, every little bit helps.  24-30 hrs more for the good stuff.  

[indiggio]

They probably mowed them down to let them dry out a bit in preparation for more on top later this week.

They aren't gonna skip over upper Main don't worry because if they get upper Main open then they actually can up the trail count by two adding Barneys bumps as well. 

[indiggio]

Yeah, there's no way they'll skip upper Main Street.  It alone would take a ton of traffic off Come Around.

I hope they can get snow tubing open by this weekend. They're falling behind Camelback and I don't like it.

Seriously and Blue never gives out cocoa and sugar cookies only fine meats and cheeses and November skiing.

I would guess that Upper Main and Lazy will run simultaneously and open within a day or two of each other - but we're all guessing based on what Blue's done in the past. I meant to propose the most agressive and most conservative options I saw.
