jeenyussb Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 I hope they blow enough snow so bears open for new years. Quote
rgrwilco Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 THEIR BLOWING SNOW RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! to bad this is the only day their gonna get for the next 4 days................ tomorrow night seems to be another day to me. looks like they are getting decent production. Quote
EAZY-Emuntz Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Posted December 28, 2006 I saw myself that they were snowmaking last night. It looked like they were going good, but then I took a look at the webcam this morning and it didnt look like they had that much new snow Quote
tell_them_nothing Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 I hope they blow enough snow so bears open for new years. Won't happen, sorry. Two nights now; last night and tonight. Three nights after a three or four day warm spell next week, then maybe it will get colder after that. We'll be riding in January if the rain lets up a little bit. Like I said somewhere else; they'll be open by Martin Luther King weekend unless the weather gets really really bad. Quote

live2snowboard Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 bear creek always seems to disappoint Quote
supertrooper12 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 i agree w/ you, but they are trying as hard as they can too satisfy everyone. so Quote
DCskierChica Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 does any think that BC will be open next thursday??? thats my first ski trip. Quote

Quote
sectachrome Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 got bad news guys, it isnt looking so good for the next WEEK!!!! have any mtns ever offered like money back because they were only open for a month, b/c i could sure use some bucks right now to help pay for all these freaking lift tickets to blue!!!! +1 Dissapointing. Oh well, if I can at least get there 4 times the pass will be paid for. Quote
Snowbunny4 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 We can only keep hoping that winter as we know it will eventually get here. I think by now, all the season pass holders have figured out exactly how many times we need to get on the slopes at BC to justify the purchase. We spent over $1000.00 for the family (bought prior to Oct. 31st). I can say this, we will not be purchasing early season passes next season, if we buy them at all. We will wait until BC is up and running and pay the extra $$. We all know BC can not do anything about the weather. While most of the money is made from the day lift purchasers, I can assure BC that that the more mature season pass holders are also the people who eat there year round, and who bring their companies to the lodge for meetings, etc. Lose some of your season pass holders and lose alot of year round business.

tell_them_nothing Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 I paid $275 for an unlimited pass. Tickets are how much these days? Like around $25 right? I'll need to go to Bear 11 times once they open to get my money's worth. If they open mid-January and close mid-March that'll give me two months or around 60 days. Meaning I've got to be there once every 6 days plus one extra day somewhere. No problem (unless Bear opens in February that is) and I'll easily get my money's worth. Remember kids, It ain't over till the fat lady sings. Quote
nick Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 If it ever gets real cold...I bet Bear Creek will blow enough snow so they can stay open into April like they wanted to do last year as a Thank You to their loyal passholders. Lets sure hope so, that would be really nice of them, plus i think if they dont do that, like alot of people are saying their going to lose alot of season pass business...... Quote
supertrooper12 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 ehh, i doubt they'd stay open longer then any other mountian in pa. i mean look at last year. am i the only one that remembers what happened? bear closes the next 5 days in row the lows were in the mid 20's . Quote
supertrooper12 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 it was a long season though so i don't fault them for last year Quote
rgrwilco Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 hopefully they get to blow tonight. can they aim the guns to try and get the piles on the already existing patches of snow? would be better then blowing onto warm grass. Quote
tell_them_nothing Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 No signifigant snowmaking for the next two weeks. Quote
rgrwilco Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 No signifigant snowmaking for the next two weeks. you lie! Quote
tell_them_nothing Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 you lie! no, not really Quote
k2rider2690 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Posted January 2, 2007 i think everyone wants bear to make snow and so do i but wuts the point of firing up the guns for one night, then not being able to fire them up again for a couple days and so on. i mean i want bear to open really bad, but it just doesnt make any sense, it just seems like a huge waste of money Quote

rgrwilco Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 well the lights are now on. i think theyll be firing up soon. not like itll really help much in the grand scheme of things, but seeing bear blowing would be nice Quote
kmudrick Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 well the lights are now on. i think theyll be firing up soon. not like itll really help much in the grand scheme of things, but seeing bear blowing would be nice Looks like last night was a no-go. From their site: Wednesday Update: We were unable to make snow last night, our low temperature was 31.3F with 77% humiditiy. It looks like our next chance at snowmaking is the 9th or 10th. Total bummer. Quote
wikigirl Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 Ok, I don't get it- why the 9th or 10th when today is the third and it will probably be reasonably cold tonight. Never mind the cold front that is supposed to be coming in over the weekend. Quote
parider81 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 The forecast shows marginal temps for tonight depending on the humidity. Snowmaking is all dependent upon the wet bulb temperature which is a measure of the temperature and the humidity. Here is the forecast from accuweather and it looks like the 9th or 10th will be the next possible snowmaking period. http://wwwa.accuweather.com/forecast-15day...62&metric=0 Quote
