trackbiker Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 Boulder is blowing snow as I am typing this, they just announced it. Didn't see anything about snowmaking on their website. Temp on the site said 35F. Did you get an email about this? Quote
toast21602 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 My gaper gear was way better than that. i'm pretty sure 'gaper gear' is your normal attire. Quote

Finndog Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 I've got exams during that time. I'll be in JH 2nd week of January...As for this weekend, think east coast I'll be there Jan 13-20... you there then? Quote
AtomicSkier Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 I'll be there Jan 13-20... you there then? 5-12 for me Quote
AtomicSkier Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 Please leave some pow for me! I'll try. GrilledSteeze will be out the week after you, so make sure you track out all his pow Quote
Finndog Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 I'll try. GrilledSteeze will be out the week after you, so make sure you track out all his pow I dont' ski on greens...... Quote
Finndog Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) I haven't booked my trip yet..I just might book it so it overlaps your trip so I can ski with my favorite Barking Bear...lol.. If you are going to be there 13-20, please let me know. I would be happy to introduce you to good beer and rip around the mountain with you. It would be fun! Hey what are you skiing on out there? I am planning on bringing out my IM78's and Fischer Watea94's. Pray for Pow.. Edited November 9, 2007 by Finndog Quote
Finndog Posted November 12, 2007 Report Posted November 12, 2007 I'm bringing my Rossi Scratch BCs(88mm waist) and some sort of ice coast carver..maybe my old Elan S12s or something I pick up before the trip. My buddy Tom will be coming down for part of my trip from Bozeman and he's a real gear head. He'll bring Seth Pistls, Public Enemies, Rossi Scratch fatz(wider than mine), and whatever he wants from from the shop he moonlights at. This will be my 5th trip to Jackson Hole..Two years ago there was a ton of powder and last year not so much.. Sounds good, that's a good plan. Lets pray for massive dumpages! Quote
Finndog Posted November 12, 2007 Report Posted November 12, 2007 yeah, Steamboat is supposed to get a little as well. It's pretty dry up there so far. My friend up there says not to panic yet, they typically start to get real snow towards the end of November. Since the holiday is early this year, they are sweating it a little since most of the snow should start around that time or a little later. We are there 15-27th so I am pretty confident we'll be there for a couple of dumps...... Quote
stever2003 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 Is there any chance Blue will open the new trail if there is enough snow fall to cover it? Or, would they possibly move snow from other parts of the mountain like they did in the beginning of last season when they moved the snow from Lazy Mile to the lodge area in order to stay open (I know that was a last ditch effort for them to stay open, but its always a possibility). Quote
switched Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Yeah...if I had the opportunity to be skiing this weekend I'd be headed somewhere with more than 20' of vert and a 3" base. Unless of course I was stuck in PA and could only get to the grassy snowcone that boulder is gonna have this weekend that pretty funny, a grassy snowcone Quote
trimreaper Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 I like the new trail names, Nightmare for the the top steep section and Dreamweaver for the bottom. I hear if they get enough natural snow, they have it graded well enough to open them. Quote
tretiak Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 i talked to my boss yesterday and he said it should be open in time for the season Quote
stever2003 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 With snowmaking? the pics that were on the mountain`s website didnt show any snowmaking on that slope. What`s the new trail called? Quote
trimreaper Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 i talked to my boss yesterday and he said it should be open in time for the season What idiot told you it would be open? The same guy who was abducted by aliens, twice. Quote
rgrwilco Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 alien abductions are nothing to joke about.... Quote

e-rider Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 i don't think the new trail will be open for the first runs of the season but when they work their way over i think it'll be open, it's all cut and ready to go they just have to blow Quote

NO SNOWMAKING! http://www.skibluemt.com/PhotoGallery My original question was asking if they might open the trail if enough snow fell onto it naturally. Edited November 18, 2007 by stever2003 Quote
stever2003 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 I agree. I also posed the possibility of pushing snow onto it, like they did last year when they needed to move the snow from Lazy Mile toward the main lodge in order to stay open. Any thoughts? Quote
