bigdaddyk Posted November 20, 2005 Report Posted November 20, 2005 Anybody know if Jf or BB is making snow??? Quote
SkiUtah Posted November 20, 2005 Report Posted November 20, 2005 I went to the Warren Miller movie at North Hampton Community College tonight and they said they were making snow at Elk. Quote
soldier32 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Posted November 20, 2005 i dont think they are at jf and bb yet, i heard they're waiting until after the rain on monday into tuesday and then they're gonna get right into it. should be sweet with boulders new snowmaking system they got this year Quote
bigdaddyk Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Posted November 21, 2005 I can't beieve that some of the resorts did not make snow last week. I don't buy into the story that they wanted to wait until after Monday's rain, because the rain wasn't even in the forecast for much of last week. That's just like saying, well it might rain in December, so we'll wait until January. It just shows, that around here, the resorts aren't truly into it. I'm especially upset at JF / BB because I spent all that money on a season pass and even paid extra for the parking pass, which the more I think of it, the more it angers me. It doesn't matter how quickly it gets cold, they always wait to open in December. Last year it was warm, up to two weeks into December and most place opened around the 18th. This year it got cold enough, the 2nd/ 3rd week into November, and resorts are still waiting and saying that they are opening "early" around the 8th / 9th. That's 2 to 3 weeks waisted that could be used for sking/ riding, since the extended forecasts show below freezing temps, nightly. To me, it seems that they will be opening "late", again. Quote
xNick11 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 one of my friends told me that he was up montage with his mom(shes a ski patrol)and they said they are thinking about making snow on wednesday. i love snow. Quote

Yea, i heard that same thing from my brothers friend who is a backup snow maker/ rental. He said Wed. is looking good for the start of snowmaking, but he said definetaly this wee;. If they got 5 or 6 days straight in, they could be open in november, and the temps look favorable, and even Mother nature snowing on us tuesday night and thursday. Quote

I could be wrong , but I doubt Montage would ever open in November. Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) I could be wrong , but I doubt Montage would ever open in November. Your probally right, But i said COULD open. But, they actually have opened in November in the early 90's. Edited November 21, 2005 by montageskier Quote
bigdaddyk Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) I just saw JF / BB website said that they are starting to blow on Friday. Why wait so long? More wasted days. BB is set to open Dec. 17th and JF Dec. 10th. Like I said in a previous post, they don't care because this is no earlier than last year. Edited March 18, 2006 by bigdaddyk Quote

I think you would like CB better if it opens earlier or later. Quote
bigdaddyk Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Posted November 22, 2005 I think you would like CB better if it opens earlier or later. I occassionally go to CB and like it, but I've alway felt that the snow quality is better at JF, because of the higher elevation and it is sheltered more from the sun. Quote
bigdaddyk Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Posted November 24, 2005 I know I'm starting to sound like a whiney bitch , but I still can't believe JF/BB is not making snow. Almost 7 days will be wasted, until they turn on the guns ....and some of those are probably gonna be 24 hour days. Anybody else feel the same way??? Quote
