bigdaddyk Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) onthesnow.com has CB's projected opening listed as 12-13-06 and they give a projected closing of 3-13-07. Blue is listed as 12-1-06 and a closing of 3-31-07. I was surprised to see a projected closing date, this early.

Timeless Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 onthesnow.com has CB's projected opening listed as 12-13-06 and they give a projected closing of 3-13-07. Blue is listed as 12-1-06 and a closing of 3-31-07. I was surprised to see a projected closing date, this early. Given that CB have dates on the calendar through March 17th weekend, I can't see them closing earlier (or later) than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritaville Skier Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 That's just it, it's all projections. Old man winter has the final say. It's got to be cold enough to make snow and then stay cold enough to maintain it. All you can do is hope for the best when you ski in the banana belt !

Dan- Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I hope they do. The slopes were still full of people on closing weekend last year So there is definatly still an interest that late into the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method9455 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Just checked a few weather forecasts for Blue, BC, MC, Hunter. Doesn't look like there will be any snowmaking temperatures in the next 2 weeks, maybe not even until the very last day or two of Nov. Not good, but luckily they don't know a fucking thing about the weather so they could be wrong. Hunter may be able to find some temperatures to make snow, but I can't see a solid day of snowmaking anywhere south of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone i have seen, shows temps going back to down on day 6 and day 7. Then the rest of the 15 day is snowmaking nights for NY and VT. None of us should be worried about PA weather for another two weeks. All we need is temps to be average, if they are below average well hey then thats a bonus.

bigdaddyk Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) From onthesnow.com: Big Boulder: Projected opening: 12-2-06 Projected closing: 3-19-07 Jack Frost: Projected opening: 12-2-06 Projected closing: 3-26-07. If the forecast holds up, they could get a lot of the runs open, if they hold off until 12-2. I figured BB would look at closing 3-19, because the snowmobile races are the week after that . Hopefully they open back up.....but at this point, I just want them to open. Edited November 16, 2006 by bigdaddyk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sno Mountain Skier Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 that actually has them closing early then last year Are yo sure. Because i was there on ski for free day, and thats the last day of the season, and that day was the 19th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rideKINK156 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 http://wwwa.accuweather.com/forecast.asp?p...62&metric=0 looks promising, we can just hope it stays in that trend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papasteeze Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Are yo sure. Because i was there on ski for free day, and thats the last day of the season, and that day was the 19th. I am betting limited park terrain and limited lifts until the snow melts after the 19th - The 19th would be the formal closing for everyone else. They announce many times over at the May Rail Jam that we would try to open early and close late. WE NEED COLD WEATHER. not marginal weather, COLD WEATHER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 http://wwwa.accuweather.com/forecast.asp?p...62&metric=0 looks promising, we can just hope it stays in that trend but dont be surprised if that changes by tomorrow...

rideKINK156 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Alllllll right then, it looks like the week after thanksgiving may be a go for snowmaking. Its been holding that the temps will get cold enough for a few days now. So Im going to go out on a limb and call Dec. 9 for a probable opening day at bear. Most other mountans are either gonna open that weekend or the weekends before or after depending on where you are and how the weather goes.

rideKINK156 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Not gonna happen. Four days of snowmaking weather after Thanksgiving, if they pushed for it they could open on the 3rd but then they'd have to endure another week of warm weather. Something tells me nobodys going to open until the 15th or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rideKINK156 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yeah but its 8 days away for BC to start making snow so it can definitely still change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
