I hear ya! That's primarily why Tarpon & I packed it in. It was getting VERY uncomfortable going down Midway, especially after we saw the boarder going down holding a beer. I told Tarpon is must be empty. Guy wiped out and Tarpon stopped and asked him. Sure enough, he still had beer in it! WE OUTTA HERE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently watching tubing cam, impressive production. They really need to put a bigger snow gun on, right in front of the Vista cam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiggio Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 They really need to rotate the Slopeside camera to the right just a bit so that it shows the Vista fan guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only hope is that temps drop precipitously this afternoon which will allow them to make better snow to mix with the wet stuff that must be coming out of the guns now. I get that, I was specifically wondering about trails where it would be the first blown snow. Like, if the snow coming out is crappy quality to the point where they would rather not make it, would there be any harm in blowing that on trails with no current coverage to start a base, rather than blowing no snow at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Depending on the gun, you can go from 10 gallons to 100 gallons per minute when it gets colder. The temperature makes a massive massive difference.Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about tomorrow morning, if we get predicted snow will probably be even more crowded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
