GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 12, 2018 Report Posted November 12, 2018 If there were any decent Thanksgiving songs I would listen to them but since there aren’t I’ll listen to Xmas music and I’ve had 106.1 on since it switched over to Xmas music the other day. That’s really the only station I listen to. People I know who work in retail say Xmas music is playing in the stores as well. I think Xmas music makes people spend more money which is a wonderful thing Quote

I even heard Feliz Navidad the other day. Great song. Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 Because it’s a joke. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. If my only choice was a 200’ vertical lift served mountain, I’d ride it and be thrilled. Would you rather be on the snow or not? It just comes to the love of the sport vs logic. Logically, it’s probably not worth it, but to be able to ski/ride two weeks before everyone else? That’s an amazing option. Killington’s stairway may be a pita, but they just hit their 26th operating day. I’ll hike that any day for an extra month on the snow. Quote

I’ll take an extra day skiing in the spring over a day skiing killingtons stairway to heaven or big boulder freedom trail. Last season I had something like 6-7 pow days at Blue, 5 pow days at Jackson hole and 4 pow days in Colorado..along with many many more great days...I have zero regrets not skiing a weekend earlier on freedom trail or driving 600+ miles round trip to Vermont for WROD.. Love of the sport lol..pah lease...I think I’ve put in enough days over the years that I can logically say that a 125 vertical foot bonk yard an hour away isn’t worth it for me...maybe if there wasn’t gonna be any other skiing all season but I’ve gone 7 months no skiing already what’s another couple weeks max until blue opens and I can get some real adrenaline vs Big boulder which I’ve sworn never again...

I’m not judging. I can understand not wanting to drive 600 miles round trip to Killington to hike the stairway, but this is potentially 2 extra weeks of skiing basically in your backyard...Side note: With your skiing style, I can see why BB wouldn’t be appealing... 1 1 Quote

Maybe its just me, or an optical illusion, but not super impressed with 2 nights production. I think they will need wednesdays temps to stay in the snow zone so they get a good 24 hrs or so on this. seems like it held up a little better than i thought it might. need temps to take nose dive now.

indiggio Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) I still see white on Vista (just a bit on the far side camera shot), which again boggles my mind why they didn't blow anything at all on lower Main Street?? Edited November 13, 2018 by indiggio Quote
Shadows Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 just set the guns up parallel to the slope and put rails on the wales. Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 seems like it held up a little better than i thought it might. need temps to take nose dive now. Starting sometime this evening they will have a solid 24-36 hour window. I’d imagine it will be good to go after that. The mix of snow and rain shouldn’t Wed-Friday shouldn’t hurt anything. You’ll all be on snow this weekend if your name isn’t GSS... Quote
toast21602 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 Awesome to still see snow on the ground at BB! They’ll be in good shape with the upcoming temps and weather Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 What’s everyone think? Friday night opening at 3 PM, or wait until Saturday? Quote

Heres what i have learned watching this unfold from years past. They always do "boulder gives back", so for like 15 of the most dented, mutilated, and cheapest can goods, you can get a free lift ticket. This tends to bring out every asshole with access to Moms pantry, and a lowered honda civic with one of those cool ass exhaust pipe things. They will only spin Freedom lift when they do this. My hope is that they do this Friday. Skiing Friday night isnt on my radar at all. Hopefully they can get snow down on some other trail as well. this might be wishful thinking, but so be it. If they do, they will open that the day after the can goods fiasco. In years past, they have also promised the second trail for day 2, but opened it hours after opening. Ask Guitar73. 1 Quote
theprogram4 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 i actually enjoy riding a crowded freedom as opposed to an empty tannenbaum, because it is more fun weaving in and out of all the jib honks then riding an empty trail Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 Did they blow on anything else? Quote
