guitar73 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Posted November 29, 2016 One trail... I think we'll head back to hunter. I want to get out this weekend as well. hopefully they don't loose too much snow with all this r**n we're getting. Quote
enjoralas Posted November 29, 2016 Report Posted November 29, 2016 i dont see much going on this weekend. Except figuring out where the water dripping out of my kitchen ceiling is coming from. Got a shower above there? Leaky drain on the shower pan was my issue when I had the same problem. Had to cut a nice sized hole in the ceiling Quote

Had to cut a nice sized hole in the ceiling Stop valve on the sink above. water was trickling down the pipe. Right now, it doesnt look like i have to cut any holes in my ceiling. Ok, i'm free this weekend. where we skiing? Blue? BB? Elk? "skilz"? "Daks"? Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 Skillz will be your best bet for something decently close... Quote
tnt Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 Looks like Catskills Sunday is the best bet. Snowmaking times Friday night and Saturday night. Give them two nights of snow making....hit it sunday maybe... Quote
JFskiDan Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 Skillz will be your best bet for something decently close... That was kind of a joke. with the radar looking like this for the past 2 days, it cant be good for anybody on the east coast. Looks like Catskills Sunday is the best bet. Snowmaking times Friday night and Saturday night. Give them two nights of snow making....hit it sunday maybe... Winter starts next week. Things look sooo much better next week than they do Fri/Sat.

Radar.JPG Winter starts next week. Things look sooo much better next week than they do Fri/Sat. Yeah, but if you wanted to ski this weekend, I think Hunter is going to survive - assuming they can blow snow Friday night and Saturday night. I'll make the drive if the kids want to ski. Then maybe the following weekend Belleayre opens more than one trail, then the weekend after that, Blue? Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 I'm thinking Blue around the 15th-20th hopefully. Quote

Clearly forecasts are just a guide, but looking at the forecast for Hunter, right now it looks like marginal temps with high humidity. Early season, limited terrain, and a 6 hr drive just simply dont do that much for me. Individual results may vary. I had fun at BB last weekend, i drove 3 miles. i probably wouldnt do that again either until they get Love, BB, something like that open if Blue isnt open yet. I'm thinking Blue around the 15th-20th hopefully. Blue on the 17th, maybe earlier, but not later. No doubt. Take it to the bank. Lower lot, too. Wax up your backhoe. 3 Quote

But only one daughter skied last weekend, so if the other wants to start the season.....I'll do it. and while it seems apparent conditions will be worse, there was some fun skiing to be had there last weekend - tall mountain, fast lift, no lines, corn snow, bumps....Don't get me wrong, it's logically way to far to drive for such limited terrain, but I seem to be able to delude myself into thinking it's a fine idea.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 I like that JFDan...that's so soon!!!! Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Posted November 30, 2016 While I very much like more terrain open, the bottom line is that I can only ski one run at a time and if it is a good run with decent conditions and crowds and lift lines are bearable, then early season it beats the alternative of not skiing. Big Boulder with sub 200 foot non steep runs I won't bother with again as that fails the decent tun test except as a way to give the kids a first day on skis for the year, which they have now gotten in. Hunter Sunday is a good possibility for me. I will be flying solo so if others are making the trip let me know if anyone wants to carpool or meet up. Quote
toast21602 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 just got a text from God, which is odd because I never talk to him, but he told me expect to be skiing at Blue on December 16th. 3 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 pm TTC6 I was thinking that. Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Posted November 30, 2016 Don't recognize that name Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 Don't recognize that name I think you joined PASR after TTC6 started posting but he always tried to get people to carpool with him. Quote

Just see my Bretton Woods report to confirm this mindset. Hour drive to Killington each way, or two and a quarter hours each way to Bretton Woods. I was skeptical, but I made the right decision and didn't think twice about it. Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 1, 2016 Report Posted December 1, 2016 I think it's funny when snowboarders say they are going skiing lol. Or when Root and Justo say lets play skiing. 1 Quote
