GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 The cannons are back on. They lost a lot of hours. Sheesh n 1 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 Bear creek is blowing hard..they have a head start on blue. Time to check the temperatures. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 @saltyant the blue website says high of 36 and low of 26 today which is good. They’ll only have to turn the guns off for a few hours late morning until evening. Quote
JFskiDan Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 hopefully they were able to keep some shit running that we couldnt see on cam. i have a hard time believing they have to shut everything down to fix a pipe near vista. 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 They need to get decent production tonight, Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night to have a shot at next weekend. This was the only strike they can afford. 1 Quote

Looks like they were able to put more down at the base, so I'm going with @JFskiDan's hope that they were able to put more effort into Paradise and maybe Coming Soon. Wish they would point the Valley cam back up Homestretch instead of showing the lift lines. (hint, hint). 1 Quote

Then they had to do a total shutdown because a main broke at the burma/widowmaker intersection. They repaired it through the night digging and welding and fired back up whenever GSS noticed this morning. Should be all systems go from tonight on out barring anymore big problems. 1 Quote

Easy to tell what went wrong and what they were doing. If it were an air line they could have still run the fan guns. Total shutdown, emergency through night repair had to be a main water line.

JFskiDan Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 so hopefully they are telling the truth here. Quote

Just look at the web cams compared to Shawnee, CBK, Elk and Montage. I also watched the cams from 7pm - 2am. However, they will have several more large windows like this in the forecast before Friday so I believe it's still happenin. Quote
Benm Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 I was pretty confident for next wknd but missing 8hr last night throws it all into doubt. I don't think they'll open. Quote

Considering the tubing hill shut down with everything else visible on the cams, I would assume not. I do not know for a fact though. Around 7 or 8pm they had what looked like nearly the entire mountain lit and then suddenly everything appear off until the repairs finished very early morning. Quote
PSUFrankenstein Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 Hope they open soon. I bought a case from other half brewing, it'd be a shame if I had to drink it all myself instead of sharing with my favorite parking lot homies 1 1 Quote
DiMe Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 They're lighting up already! Bless be the low humidity! 1 Quote
enjoralas Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 @saltyant we're going to need a flyover with pics focused on Paradise and Coming Soon about Tuesday. Thanks. 1 1 1 Quote

I don't think they'll open. Based on the webcams and their FB reporting I think you’re wrong but maybe they open Saturday instead of Friday. Right now the wet bulb is above 28 and they’re blowing..very aggressive. Quote

Even have the older tower stick guns going on Main St. I don't think they want to be wrong (amd postpone) twice if they can at all help it 1 Quote
JFskiDan Posted November 25, 2023 Report Posted November 25, 2023 we have some good windows for snowmaking upon us. Time to think positive. 1 Quote

If the current forecast for the week holds I'm also confident they will open Fri or Sat as opposed to being unreasonably optimistic last week. Quote
