Nobody would see the compressor running, so it doesnt add to the show. Kudos for turning some stuff on, im sure it will go a long way on the FB, but they are just fighting the weather, and the weather is going to always win. i work in a very weather dependent business, and i learned this a long time ago. 3 Quote

Dunno, we took a run over to Vista yesterday and snow's still pretty deep on it yet. Of course, this upcoming week's temps are going to do a number on it, but that's also going to happen everywhere on the mountain. IIRC, training hill was looking pretty bad yesterday with a big roped off mud area on looker's right of the right side run. 1 Quote

Kudos for turning some stuff on, im sure it will go a long way on the FB, but they are just fighting the weather, and the weather is going to always win. i work in a very weather dependent business, and i learned this a long time ago. The big question from anyone who was up today, did they seem to run any of the newer guns (or even the few fans) on Coming Soon or Paradise? Both could have used it, and both have guns that are supposed to be able to operate in the more marginal temps. If they made snow there, I would say that it's a legit attempt to piece together one more weekend maybe. If they didn't then I agree it's a PR show, because with the state of those runs, no reason not to Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 I just received a text from Blue that they made snow on 11 trails. Quote

Did they mention one of those trails is in Danielsville? cause, you know, it was a little windy last night. Quote

I still haven’t received anything about the season pass party. Your theory that they mainly sent invites to those who skied less than ten days at Blue is Plausible since only Toast received an invite. Quote

I know some that received it that have skied more than 10 days. I didn't receive one either and had to go to the chat line to get them to send RSVP URL. 1 Quote

Benm Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 maybe it'll be a ski it til you can't event. the fact that they tried to blow in those temps the last couple nights leads me to believe they'll try to freshen things up early next week for the following wknd 2 Quote
