I was told when they get a sustained cold snap, since there is more to cover.

where were you today bigdaddyk?

where were you today bigdaddyk?

 

I figured that I would wait until the bulk of the snow hit and the bulk of the people left. I was beat, so I slept in, skipped going to the Eagles game and watched it on TV, then went skiing from 6 to 6:45. It wasn't crowded at that time and the snow was pretty good, although slow.

45 minutes, are you kidding?

Nope. I got bored, plus the snow was slow and I got tired of having to constatnly skate uphill to the lift . The skier's right side edge was pretty nice, though.

Snow = Nov. 26th. Open = beginning of December...depends on the weather and the amount of snow that can be made.

I wonder why they don't try to at least get one trail open, earlier.

I thought only the rates were different.

I cant wait until frost opens. I need better terrain quick. I'm starting to get greedy now

what do you mean you skipped going to the eagles game? you had tickets and didnt go?

Yes, because I didn't want to sit in a cold ass rain, especially the way they have been playing. I was also exhausted, so the sleep was welcomed.

[sstylles]

Frost is supposed to start making snow next Sunday, the 2nd.. it's supposed to be cold enough so keep your fingers crossed!

[bigdaddyk]

BB is still blowing, I wonder why they haven't started at JF

Well if they open up more trails at BB they need less lodging staff, ticket sales etc. You need a few per lift but if you open up a whole extra lodge that is how many more people? Plus utility bills. By mid week you will have 3-4 more trails at Boulder open anyway. The trail that is boulder park and merry widow are pretty fun to just ride on before they put features and it will be a while before they have enough snow to put up stuff there.
