i thought i saw they posted they would be open daily starting today. 

I did see them reply to a comment they were 'hoping' to be open everyday starting today. Doesn't sound or look good from the reports today SAD

Press F to pay respects to race team not being able to ski Razors

Those kids are assholes. Maybe they’ll set up some gates this weekend on midway and lower Main Street.

Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't think p dis or freefall is opening this weekend, at least not based on my observation from the quad this morning and GSS is right...razors will be gone after Sundays weather 

damn.  i was really thinking paradise would be a lock after the amount of hours they put forth on the snowmaking this week.  

the pic for upper is obviously a no go, but its hard to judge what the depth is on the last pic of paradise.  Maybe FF to paradise?  

Oh, and in the other awesome news department, sundays weather is really starting to circle the drain.

I believe that majority of the rain is supposed to be Sunday late afternoon or early evening.  Maybe we get the morning with 4pm closure?

Obviously hoping for the 4 pm closure.  Looking over all of the weather sites, i do think the morning would most likely be dry, but i think some are trending for it to come in sooner.  i didnt quite realize how much rain was gonna be associated with it until today.  Typical east coast fuckery in December.  cold, then as soon as some moisture shows up, it pisses warm rain.  then gets cold again.  this was our pattern last year.  we need to get out of it.

El Nino, La Nina, doesn't seem to matter anymore.  PA gets fucked either way.

Looks like snowmaking temps return Tuesday night..they should be able to resurface the existing 12 trails and tubing for the holidays.

It's actually a reasonable deterrent. Even today it felt crowded, I wouldn't want to be on the same few trails tomorrow, being the only skiable day of this weekend. So, the more they charge, the less people will come.

The lights are working.  I’m watching the cams seeing if I can spot Dirtwolf and Matt edge.

Agreed if they charge $40 they’d prob bring in a similar amount of revenue but the experience wouldn’t be as good.  Realize with bear creek closed Blue gets some of those people as well.  While it was crowded on the runs today I felt most were pretty courteous. Amazing that I used to complain when there were like 3-4 people in my way on switchback or razors going like 75% of my speed where it just wasn’t worth passing..low risk reward.  Well with people going 10%,25%, 50%, 75%, my same speed and a few hauling past just a lot going on in my brain.
 

 This Xmas week is gonna be bonkers.  Would be a good time to travel somewhere but I want to be in the office a little and also places are crowded and expensive then.

Charge $40, make $XXXX.  FB "slopes are soooo crowded.  WTF"

Charge $102/$115, make $XXXX.  FB "OMG, no way im paying that for 3 trails....highway robbery.  im going to Big Boulder"

it just works out the same.

Agreed but experts only fast grass and it does go....ski it like your 17 it's 3am and your sneaking back into your parents house.
