I'm a 29 year old dude from Hazleton. "Salty Ant" is a username I made up in the very early 2000's for online forum trolling. The name actually originated from playing the online game Microsoft Ants while eating salty french fries, hence the name Salty Ant. I decided to resurrect the name 17 years later. I have absolutely no relation to Sally. Edited November 17, 2017 by saltyant 2 1 1 Quote

Temperatures are still going to be in the mid to upper 40s for the next two weeks. At least the newly released one-month projection map doesn't look too bad. Expand Where are you looking at the forecast for?? Possible snowmaking at Blue Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. Quote

enjoralas Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 Planning to be there tomorrow at 10 am, lapping Tannenbaum for a couple hours. Quote

Expand Wunderground, which I think uses the same data as The Weather Channel. http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Weather.aspx?location=USPA0698 That high of 49 on Tuesday is kind of a downer, but the lows all week starting this Sunday look pretty nice for some evening snowmaking. So I'll stay cautiously optimistic for some more openings within the next 2 weeks. I just hate skiing in mashed potatoes, so even if some places open I probably won't go unless the high temperatures are below 45 degrees. I was thinking about BB this Sunday, but I think it will be a slushy mess after all the rain tomorrow. Edited November 17, 2017 by saltyant Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 It has to be really warm for mashed potato conditions this time of year with the low sun angle. Main Street at Blue is only in the sun 2-3 hours this time of year. Rain doesn't make things slushy..it makes the snow smooth and fast. Quote

Expand Maybe I'm just being too picky about conditions... nothing compares to those pristine mornings of untracked, freshly made snow. Can't complain about mid-November snowmaking, regardless. I'm just impatient for the actual season to start. Edited November 17, 2017 by saltyant Quote

moe ghoul Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 Stowe was good. Almost felt like Blue by noon on Saturday. Pretty foggy on top, 28'. So, I misread the Epic Local Pass (balls feel like a speed bag the past 3 weeks). It's good for 10 Stowe non blackout days. A good deal compared to 131/day. I upgraded for another 220 for the full pass. Still worth it. 4 Quote

theprogram4 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 25 features is an awful lot to fit onto a trail the length of 3 football fields max lol. made human slalom harder last week Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 That's how you progress TP4. You never know when there's gonna be a disco light up 420 battleship box in the back country. Quote
