bigdaddyk Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) Well, it looks like they won't be opening this Friday . This is from JF's conditions page: "Ready to make snow. Watching the weather.Looks good next week 11/28" Edited November 20, 2006 by bigdaddyk Quote
bbg Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 CHECK IT OUT... The JFBB Website now says they will be making snow Monday Night... They say they will have pictures on tuesday... Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow... Quote

Papasteeze Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 DOES THIS MEAN TODAY OR NEXT MONDAY!??!?!?! It may get down into the low twenties over the next few nights. Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 I needed a fleece earlier.. On a slightly different note, I saw Christmas decorations at Kohls and Super Fresh. I saw at least 6 houses with Christmas trees in the windows . I guess that means Winter is near Quote
method9455 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Well the humidity is about 60%, so they need about 31 degrees or less to fire it up. Accuweather says 31 at 7pm, 29 by 8pm, down to 24 by 5am, with clear skies after midnight. Even if they start at 10pm it probably won't warm up past the freezing point until about 8am, they could get 8 hours in tonight if they wanted to. (It even says snowshower!) High of 47, snowmaking temperatures tomorrow night High of 56 and 59 for wednesday/thursday, no snowmaking temperatures. The temperatures don't return until Tuesday the 28th. So, if they want to have their Thanksgiving rail jam, they need to make snow tonight and tomorrow. And since they won't be able to make snow next monday so I think that means tonight. So I expect to see snow by wednesday morning! Quote
frostyburton Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 lol trust me if the snow wasnt gonna stay they wouldnt be blowing it and thats why i heard park logic left mountain creek cuz they sucked at snow making but im not sure bout that but yea i work at jfbb and if they didnt think they could make snow they wouldnt and def wouldng promise photos if they were unsure lol trust me if the snow wasnt gonna stay they wouldnt be blowing it and thats why i heard park logic left mountain creek cuz they sucked at snow making but im not sure bout that but yea i work at jfbb and if they didnt think they could make snow they wouldnt and def wouldng promise photos if they were unsure Quote
bigdaddyk Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 I'm heading to Lake Harmony on Tuesday to pick up my skis. I'm going to head to Boulder and Frost to see if they made any snow. As a matter of fact, I'm bored and don't have to work on Tuesday, so maybe I will head over late tonight, since the web cam isn't working . Quote
method9455 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Snow being made in the park right now, NICE. Quote
Snoshredder21 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 this is amazing....is anyone else planning to make snow tonight? Quote
Who Wants To Shred? Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 If somehow they have a thanksgiving rail jam, I will not even hesitate to go. I'm picking up my season pass tomorrow just incase. This is the most anticipating year for me yet. Quote
Schif Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 this is amazing....is anyone else planning to make snow tonight? So is BB the only place to have confirmed snow in the air? It kinda looked like blue was blowing on the webcam but I'm not really sure. Has anyone heard from Elk yet? They usually have the rest of the state by a few degrees. Tonight though snowmaking is not possible because of humidity up there, but I'm sure we'll see them firing them up soon. Quote
bigdaddyk Posted November 25, 2006 Report Posted November 25, 2006 I think this is a cool pic with the white out conditions in the distance. http://www.jfbb.com/terrain-parks/download...Item.ashx?id=36 Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted November 25, 2006 Report Posted November 25, 2006 Wow, thats a great picture to see, for PA skiers Quote
Justin Posted November 25, 2006 Report Posted November 25, 2006 Wow, thats a great picture to see, for PA skiers Too bad it didnt result in them opening...just a last minute rail jam Oh well, snow is snow :chea: Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted November 25, 2006 Report Posted November 25, 2006 Too bad it didnt result in them opening...just a last minute rail jam Oh well, snow is snow :chea: Yep, snow is snow. No doubt about that. Quote
Justin Posted November 25, 2006 Report Posted November 25, 2006 Imagine how crazy it could be if resorts could like put snow they made wherever they wanted to...like in april just take all of the snow thats left and pile it on like 4 or 5 trails for spring skiing. Then just keep piling the snow on less trails to get coverage...we could ski till May... Quote
