Projected openings

[bigdaddyk]

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.

they have to tell people that they are hiring how long they will be needed for.

Given that CB have dates on the calendar through March 17th weekend, I can't see them closing earlier (or later) than that.

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 !

how you gonna close on a saturday, BLUE?

[Dan-]

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.

Easter isn't until April 7th...well...lets just hope they can be open by Christmas...haha

 

Very true, lets worry about mountains opening before we worry about them closing.

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.

What reports are you looking at. 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.

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.

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

The lights are on at Whitetail

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.

[ridesnwboards]

anyone have an opening date for bc?

[method9455]

mountain creek is aiming for the 9th we'll see what happens.

[rideKINK156]

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.

[Shadows]

im callin it...

bellayre is gonna open friday, bet you 5 bucks.

i got that inside info

[rideKINK156]

uhhhh... word is that the NC VA WV western MD area is looking good for this winter.

[sethsev7n]

Given the new 15 day forcast from accuweather I'm going to say the 8th for CB

[rideKINK156]

Yeah but its 8 days away for BC to start making snow so it can definitely still change.
