GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 Also realize Elk is a higher elevation than Union Dale... Quote

RidgeRacer Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Hate to say it but do we look at another day for this? According to weather.com the hourly is showing 90% to 100% chance of rain until around 11am. Granted that's for Union Dale; or do we chance it and assume it's snow at the mountain? @rummy does this mess anything up for you. @enjoralas, @Benm what are you guys thinking? Fuck rain.

I'm not sure of the topography and exactly how much higher elk is than union dale's reporting station. i dont need a whole lot of lead time, i would just need to know around 7am. I was going to keep an eye on the forecast into early this evening for any major changes, maybe around 6pm and then start discussing whether or not to bail. I'm not sure if that is too late/short notice for others tho. no one has purchased tickets yet, right? it would help if elk had Blue's ticketing model (ie. 8hrs starting at first scan rather than at opening)...

toast21602 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 Sorry all, but I'm out for tomorrow. If this gets rescheduled I'll be sure to make another attempt to attend. Quote
rummy Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 I have no problem with rescheduling if you want. Usually Elk is colder and snowier than Union Dale. But, this forecast is Real Iffy... Actually the snow today was the best of the week. Groomed buttery surface, with some icy cord down low. Temperature inversion we surmised..FOGGY.... though, really hard to see.I'd really like you to be able to ski Elk when conditions are more typical of Elks Best.SO it's up to you....Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote
Benm Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) maybe we resched? i dunno, it's such a tough call. i almost wish it would be forecast to pour until noon so that we could just have the answer. i'm certainly in for attempt 2.0 if we do resched. Like i said tho, i'm open to waiting it out before deciding for tomorrow. Edited February 6, 2020 by Benm Quote
enjoralas Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 I'm planning to be there tomorrow. I have the day off, don't want to waste it. I'm sure not skiing Blue in the rain. I probably won't bother geabbi g burgers or anything since it looks like most are bailing, but unless it's a right downpour I should be there. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Posted February 6, 2020 I'm gonna go with game decision for me at this point. 1 Quote
rummy Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 I'll keep everyone updated with current LCITW weather:1800 hrs. 36° and light rain. (Rain started at 1630 hrs)Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 2 Quote

saltyant Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 Lol, I'll laugh if you guys bail and they end up getting half a foot. Unfortunately I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning. Quote

WTF Saltman. Like I said game time decision. If schools are closed here I'm likely out. If schools are open and its rain here I may go and pray that its snow at Elk. Rummys TLCITW updates will help. We'll see. Edit....wind gusts up to 30 mph as well. Edited February 7, 2020 by RidgeRacer 1 Quote

toast21602 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Posted February 7, 2020 I think you guys will be okay tomorrow. Should be good. Eat some of Rummy’s ribs for me. They were stellar last year! 2 Quote
enjoralas Posted February 7, 2020 Report Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Pops and I are still in. Debating leaving time right now. Probably not going to shoot for open, so we’re not in the rain as long if it starts out that way Edited February 7, 2020 by enjoralas 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Posted February 7, 2020 I'm 75% going. If I do will likely be there around 9:30 or so. More to come in the am. 1 Quote
