Indiggio I quit super early Sunday not cause I was bored, not cause the conditions were shit but I was genuinely nervous that I was risking injury from all the people that was my instinct at least.  

I hear ya!   That's primarily why Tarpon & I packed it in. 

It was getting VERY uncomfortable going down Midway, especially after we saw the boarder going down holding a beer.  I told Tarpon is must be empty.  Guy wiped out and Tarpon stopped and asked him.  Sure enough, he still had beer in it!  WE OUTTA HERE!

What a dumbass there's plenty of time to drink a beer on the lift ride up.

Watching the webcams puts me in the mood to ski!

I'm currently watching tubing cam, impressive production.  They really need to put a bigger snow gun on, right in front of the Vista cam.

looks like a blizzard is nuking lower main street, lol!

They really need to rotate the Slopeside camera to the right just a bit so that it shows the Vista fan guns.

Well, they're gonna have to groom that shit, which creates the marbles everyone loves so much, and I've been told the groomers aren't allowed to make a lot of passes like they used to, so welcome the big chunks with open arms!

The only hope is that temps drop precipitously this afternoon which will allow them to make better snow to mix with the wet stuff that must be coming out of the guns now.

 

 

I get that, I was specifically wondering about trails where it would be the first blown snow. Like, if the snow coming out is crappy quality to the point where they would rather not make it, would there be any harm in blowing that on trails with no current coverage to start a base, rather than blowing no snow at all

No harm at all...although not as efficient as blowing in colder temperatures.

Depending on the gun, you can go from 10 gallons to 100 gallons per minute when it gets colder. The temperature makes a massive massive difference.

What makes you say that? They keep getting more, I'd guess they are doing well.

They have been cranking on vista non stop and the production seems like so much less than the Areco guns produce. Purely observation.

Why I have been hesitant to go. Really don't want to get run over. Why aren't these people Christmas shopping and going to parties? Thought about tomorrow morning, if we get predicted snow will probably be even more crowded.

The natural is starting and I saw a herd? Flock? Of snowmakers go by.
