GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Christmas week opening [emoji20] I'd be thrilled with that. Then I won't have to travel anywhere. Plus 8am openings everyday that week.. I'll be in the lot by 930am with the hordes of people. I actually only had 12 days in last year before XMAS. I should be able to make that up doing more after work sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 It's an all out snowmaking assault on the lower mountain. 24 degrees at 8am here in the A 29 degrees at mount pocono...mad inversion yo. Only gonna hit low 50s today so at least 20% of the snow they blow should last till tonight and maybe 1% of it will last till next weekend....hats off to the snowmakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTmark Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I actually only had 12 days in last year before XMAS. I should be able to make that up doing more after work sessions. Not all of us have this option. Must be nice to not have to work until after 5 everyday and only like half an hour from the hill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be nice to not have to work until after 5 everyday and only like half an hour from the hill. I prob had weekend appointments like 10 days since ski season and at least double that many after hours appointments over the summer...it's a real 610 struggle Not all of us have this option. Must be nice to not have to work until after 5 everyday and only like half an hour from the hill. You can always move to Allentown...get a 9-5 job and live the dream. Think of a song we can sing together at karaoke. Maybe some Maroon 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 The snow is still sticking around the lower mountain...it last 5 hours of above freezing temperatures should last another 12-14 days until they might be able to seriously blow!!!

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I enjoyed reading the dozens of comments on Blues Facebook page. 1/3 of them were applauding blue on blowing snow saying they can build a base to get through two weeks of warmth. 1/3 said the snowmaking is a waste and 1/3 complained about how much season pass is.

poconoceancity Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 It looks like it gets and stays cold on the 14th. If that holds true all of PA should be open for business by the 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 How about at Mount Mik? 100% dependent on natural snow. The snow gun hasn't been up and running since 2007. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 It's a blizzard on lower Main Street and in the valley.I just drove past they are still blowing in the valley and on Main Street. It actually doesn't look that bad. Will probably get some marginal snowmaking tonight and tomorrow. Then let's hope the forecast come down a bit. Trying to stay positive.

Not being negative being a realist all the snow they are blowing in the valley and lower Main Street is gonna melt before they can blow snow for real.

larrytbull Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Just got an email for freestyle team training this weekend. it won't be on snow so pretty much a lock that blue won't be opening this weekend.. I will bring my board with me, so while kid is traiing maybe i can hike and do a few runs if there is any slushy left from the snow cone makers Edited December 7, 2015 by larrytbull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Duh why would blue open this weekend..they won't be open next weekend either. Maybe the following weekend. Patience They aren't gonna let you earn turns no way...lower Main Street might still have a few patches not interconnected by the weekend.
