Sno Mountain Skier Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Last year they said that it would be an annual event. I havent been to Boulder in quite some time, but maybe someone who was there recently can tell you the snow situation on Boulder park. Quote
jordan Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 its great free publicity for the mountain, so if they have enough snow, I can't imagine them not doing it. I wouldnt imagine there would be an announcement till at least mid to late april though, because they need to be sure they will still have the snow before then announce it. Jordan Quote
MBtech Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Is there truth to the rumor that BB will be plowing all their snow onto the 3 center trails and attepting to stay open till may? Just something I heard. Quote

Just something I heard. no, I can see peak resorts maybe taking a loss for the last week or two for bragging rights which may get them to stay open until early to mid april, but theres no way they will stay open for an extra month and a half after they start losing money.

NJ JIBBER Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 aprils still pretty good...I'll be goin Quote
IrishSnow686 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 I was up at BB today and was talking to two guys on the park crew. They did say they are trying to stay open until mid April, they were the 1st to open and said they wanted to be the last to close. Then after they close, they said they plan to push the snow in the parks and keep it as long as possible for rail jams. What was really sweet, is they said it would be free.... just have to hike it I guess. They were saying they hope to keep it open even when its an island of snow surrounded by grass and dirt, so that could be well into May!!!! Quote

bigdaddyk Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 I've heard from a few different employees that mid April, if not later, is there goal.

The snow was still firm, when I left at 11:30 and it was 45 degrees out. It was just starting to soften up, a little bit. Quote

bigdaddyk Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) Weather permitting, this is the goal.. could be longer, could be shorter, depends on the weather. Every year there seems to be one snow wrecking rain storm in March. The whole week's forecast has rain in it . From NOAA for Lake Harmony...this won't be good.

poop Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 boulder will problly get like sleet and shit on thursday and friday. their usually colder up there and the lows are in the 20s for t-ville as is so i can assume it'll be a lot colder at boulder. Quote

That is the 1st time I have been the JF. Quote
