toast21602 Posted November 8, 2019 Report Posted November 8, 2019 JFBB Opening announcement coming "later today" Quote
Barb Posted November 8, 2019 Report Posted November 8, 2019 Had a late morning PT appt so couldn’t get up to Eldora for opening as I usually do. The canyon has been under construction for a long while and is supposed to continue until next summer. Mon-Thurs full closure 10-2. Friday’s it’s open so I didn’t think anything about delays. 4 different flag men stops and it took me an extra 40 min to get there. Snow was in bad shape lots of wind and no additional snow had the trails that were opened all scoured and ice. Ended up only doing 4 runs since it was so crappy. I am almost sorry I got the Ikon Pass since I mostly got it for Eldora. But dealing with that canyon construction is a real pain in the ass. Once Mary Jane opens I may start going up there more since it would only take an extra 30 min from my new Eldora commute time. Looks dry here for a while. We need a freshening up of snow.

moe ghoul Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Posted November 8, 2019 Afternoon skin. Went to the top of Madonna II lift. Ugly enough that I skied about 300 yards hitting bottom about 25% of the time, next 100 or so was link 2 turns, side step for a bit, repeat. Last 100 or so I toted the skis down. If I was 130 lbs or if the trails were golf course fairways, it was skiable to the bottom of Madonna I lift. Legs felt great, lungs pretty good. I'm burning the Cochise's. Diagnosis: terminal slop. 9 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted November 9, 2019 Report Posted November 9, 2019 Maybe watch the Dallas game there or patriots Patriots are on a bye also which means I'll probably be productive Sunday. Need tires on the car Quote

RidgeRacer Posted November 9, 2019 Report Posted November 9, 2019 Or ski BB with me. If they open I don't see Sunday happening for me unfortunately. Need tires and have somethig going on in Jim Thorpe. Will play it by ear but my guts telling me my first day of the season will be next Saturday, and hopefully on a trail not named Freedom park. 1 Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 9, 2019 Report Posted November 9, 2019 Production looks pretty good at BB from the webcams right now, but until we can see the mini whale backs in the morning, who knows how much they really produced. At least they already had a couple inches down cooling the surface so everything tonight should have been a net gain.It looks like tomorrow is a repeat of today with a loss of temps midday followed by much more marginal snowmaking temps tomorrow night. I still think they get it done tomorrow, but they didn’t announce the opening “later today,” so that tells me that they still aren’t sure themselves... Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 9, 2019 Report Posted November 9, 2019 Expect the girls and I will start our season on the 22nd/23rd - probably at Hunter unless BB is TTB - since Joy and I are going to Key West from the 16th to 20th 1 Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted November 9, 2019 Report Posted November 9, 2019 I saw that. The bottom has enough to be pushed out, but I don’t see any whale backs further up... Quote
