Blue needs to focus more on homestretch. Expand They're definitely giving it hell on Homestretch/lift area now. Both of the new guns pointed at the OG6 are ripping, and it looks like they have a portable gun over by the construction area pointed back toward the lift as well. 2 1 1 Quote

Expand I'll take some credit too because my aerial reconnaissance photography enabled the team to pinpoint where snowmaking was deficient and resulted in highly strategic redeployment of the snowmaking artillery arsenal.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 21, 2022 Report Posted November 21, 2022 No updates on Blues FB page since their opening announcement three days ago. At least camelback is going live with their snowmaking. The snowmaking cannons are still roaring. Still a big gap to fill on homestretch. I’m guessing they’ll blow snow at Mont Bleu for another 1-2 hours and then later this evening fire up the Blowers again. Quote
Schif Posted November 21, 2022 Report Posted November 21, 2022 Half an inch of rain on Friday does not seem like good opening day weather. Saturday looks to be around 1/3 of an inch of rain and then some showers on Sunday. The smart thing to do would be to let the whales sit through the rain and then fire the guns back up Monday night when they get the next window of cold. I could be wrong since I don't have any eyes on the buoy but that's what I would do with the current forecast. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 21, 2022 Report Posted November 21, 2022 Blue should open on Wednesday 5 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 21, 2022 Report Posted November 21, 2022 Amazing that they are still blowing…must be the low dew points. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 21, 2022 Report Posted November 21, 2022 Now Blue is saying they will have a confirmed opening date soon. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 21, 2022 Report Posted November 21, 2022 They are aiming to open 11/25 from fridays announcement so not confirmed. I’m not that confident we’ll be skiing at Blue Friday. 1 Quote
enjoralas Posted November 21, 2022 Report Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) If the production up the rest of the hill looks anything like those whales on the school hill, I like our chances. EDIT: Rain being the xfactor though. I could see them holding off even with enough snow if the rain looks too bad Edited November 21, 2022 by enjoralas Quote

I’m not that confident we’ll be skiing at Blue Friday. Expand So i was just looking a little further into the weekend forecast. I might lean towards agreeing with you, but there are 2 really different solutions to this weekend, and one does show some significant rain. Timing will not be good on things until Wednesday, i think. A rain filled weekend with no skiing is gonna suck. Quote
Benm Posted November 21, 2022 Report Posted November 21, 2022 this wknds forecast has changed back and forth quite a few times already. i'd hope they wouldn't make a decision until wed. 1 Quote
