AtomicSkier Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 is the trail to the far left with snow on it home stretch it seems like the were making the most snow on the bottom of lower switch back Mainstreet is the one in the middle of the mountain there. Switchback is one of the later trails to open even though its one of the least skied on trails, it always has the best snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Ive only skied on that trail once. Its like secluded. Its like skiing on a secret part of the mountain. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIxADIKT Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 switchback deff has the nicer conditions, because like you said, there aren't alot of people that go on it. You could pretty much do w.e the hell you want on that trail.  Some chic at nestors told me the projected date was the 10th but i dont think so hope it opens soon though  *anyone going to the ski instructors training course?

Glenn Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Yeah, I assumed the camera was on the bottom lodge, although, I'm not super familiar with the moutain, so I could very easily be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justo8484 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 SKIxADIKT, i dont know whether to believe you or not, because i was at their instructors preseason meeting, and they told us that they would not be calling us letting us know opening dates, we had to either check their site or call ourselves. and going with their history, they usually open on a friday, not a saturday, which again leads back to my prediction of the 17th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romemadman Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 today when i was in woods where we do nothing, we have gotten like 1.8 inches of rain i guess, all of a sudden a huge dump truck pulls throught the front circle at my hs and was putting down salt so i am guessing it is supposed to get really cold tonight b/c the think all of the huge pudles ( more like ponds) are going to freeze over just wish it was all snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he called me and told me the on snow date was the 18th and i said to him so they'll be opening around then, not that exact day, and he said yes probably. This was all just through conversation. ~just letting ya know what i heard   maybe your prediction of the 17th will be right JUSTO. i hope so, i wanted to ski before i went to VT...

Justo8484 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 my brother talked to head of ski patrol last night and he told him they are shooting for the 14th at the earliest, but i am still thinking the 17th. i can hope though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skifreak Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Well according to the website on the condition page it says they are targeting the 17th or the 18th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterC0523 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) Well according to the website on the condition page it says they are targeting the 17th or the 18th. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â I hope Blue sticks to this date!! I'm REALLY getting sick of how all these opening dates keep getting pushed back!!! Â The weather early Nov messed me up. I got psyched about how cold it was getting and then Shawnee, HV (NJ), and Alpine post opening dates for Thanksgiving weekend!! Â Believe it or not, I've actually lost sleep over this. I think I need help. Edited December 8, 2004 by PeterC0523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
