ole2planker Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 Sib, Do you have a snow report for us? What's the buzz, tell us what's a happenning at your mountain. Quote
sibhusky Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Well, the chair had people on it and people were skiing down on Saturday, but the mountain is not "open". There is talk of opening before opening day, but there's been nothing official yet. Frankly, I've been too busy to really worry about it yet. I can tell you the people skiing down were skiing mostly across grass and mud on the part I saw. The only reason I was up there was Siblet was home from college and managed to puncture the gas tank on the van driving up the mountain to talk to her coach. (One year minus a week ago she rolled the truck. She has decided to give up driving in November.) Quote
poconoceancity Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Sib, Maybe you should take a break from driving. If only there was another way to get from place to place. Quote
skimom Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Sibby, you gotta get out there on the slopes. Find an old pair of rock skis and go... Quote

LineSki Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 well thats cool, so how is it usually around begining of december? Quote
ole2planker Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Posted November 14, 2005 (edited) The one listed on the left under my screenname. Brawhahaha! Siblet's in college!?! Sorry I didn't get to meet her last January. My older daughter, whom you met, is now at Stanford for graduate in biomechanical engineering. My hope is that she has solved all back problems by the time I start developing them. Edited November 14, 2005 by ole2planker Quote
sibhusky Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) well thats cool, so how is it usually around begining of december? It's a bit hard to say "usually" as this is just my third winter here. We get most of our snow, according to weather sites, in December and January. We are getting little bits of snow now every day, but the days have been warmer than freezing, so at least at 3700 feet where our house is, it's not accumulating much. The mountain started MAKING snow on the lower elevations a few weeks back and would normally open Thanksgiving Day. I've heard they may open a week early, but have seen no confirmation. How will it be on December 3? Who knows? It is unlikely to be 100% open, but the back side will be fantastic, as always. It (the back side) will be 100% open, I am sure. Everything depends on the weather. December 3rd is a bit early to expect much at ANY area, IMO. You should probably get them to purchase a five day pass for $175 as long as they get it before 12/3. Other than that, early season pricing is $39 a day. They could show up and display season passes from another area and possibly get more discounting, but I am not sure since the early season tickets are already at a reduced cost. Things look good so far. Edited November 15, 2005 by sibhusky Quote
sibhusky Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 They are now saying we open on Saturday. Quote
skierboi Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 it looks like a bunch of people have skied it already Quote
AtomicSkier Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 it looks like a bunch of people have skied it already no, really? I thought it just fell from the sky like that Quote
sibhusky Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 I think we're about 100 miles south of Fernie. Never been up there. Everytime I think maybe the conditions will be better up there, I check their website and it doesn't sound like it. Quote
ole2planker Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Posted November 16, 2005 Love those trees. My daughter and I had a great time skiing with Sib in those trees and it was absolutely puking snow that day. Fun, fun, fun. Quote
sibhusky Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 What mountain is your home mountain? My friend is going out to Big Mountain or something like that on December 3rd. Will they have ligit conditions. Well, I got a few runs in yesterday so I can comment. Conditions at the mountain VISUALLY are terrific. We've been trapped in an inversion situation for about a week now, but on the mountain it is all sun and blue sky. I wanted to take pictures yesterday, but it turned out I left the data card from my camera back in the locker and didn't want to spend time getting it because I was just fitting in a few runs before work. The valleys in every direction had heavy looking white clouds in them and just the snowy mountain tops were poking through here and there. It was great. Anyway, not sure if there will be much more open when your friends come. The back of the mountain (North side) is fine, but the rest -- forget it. They'll get pretty bored if they have to spend a week just skiing the back. Even the back has trees poking up through the snow here and there. Plus, at least yesterday (a Sunday), lines were forming since it was the only lift open. We need snow. Quote
