Saurus Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 if you guys are lucky they'll be open for Christmas hahaha Quote
Bobert540 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 why are only blackbears lights on and a bunch of people sitting in the lift operating room thing They had training tonight for the lift operators. Quote
snowboarddude Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 they turned more lights on Quote
mollyskeez Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 and i think i see groomer tracks!!! going up the center left of the quad Quote
mollyskeez Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 bear is blowing right now im pretty sure!!! its only the guns at the top of kodiak tho. but stillYAY! Quote
k2rider2690 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 it is totally possible for bear to open on thursday. i mean look at the weather forecast, tonight a low of 25 and they started blowing around 9. tomorrow a high of only 33!! that could be snowmaking all day depending on the humidity. even so most of the day. then tomorrow night a low of 24 with wednesday a high of 31 with a low of 19. and thursday a high of 34...if bear opens thursday im pretty sure they will open at 4 so they can blow most of the day. then thursday a low of 25. def snowmaking temps for awhile now, so lets keep our fingers crossed for thursday opening and a good winter!!!

nick Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I think and hope bear will wait till the weekend to open. I would think it would make more sense from a money making standpoint, plus imagine what they could do with that extra snow...we'd have a sick opening day park. Quote
GNU_rider Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I just had a thought what if they try to open the full mountain with good terrain and park, so they might've actually seen that thread on waiting to open the parks but instead of waiting to open the park they're waiting to open the mountain entirely?

lilmill Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 has anyone looked at the webcams this mornign, there are bare spots still. They could be blowing right now its not supposed to get over 33 degrees all day. With this little effort from bear i dont think they'll be open by thursday, although it is very possible if they were blowing at all possible opportunities Quote
JibHonk Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 bear could be blowing now the temp at 11 is 32 with 52% humidity thats a wet bulb temp of 26.8 and the wet bulb temp wont go into the not possible to make snow red zone untli about 3 then around 5 they can resume blowing Quote
Johnny Law Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Anything before the 15th would be nice......I think they always get a little worried about blowing too early and having it all melt on Dec 20th due to a warm spell. This weekend would be damn spiffy. Quote
burton71 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Some of you people need to chill-lax. Quote
snowboarddude Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 i called bear today and they said that they are projecting a friday opening Quote
snowboarddude Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) i wish... the humidity seems too high tho:banghead Edited December 4, 2007 by Mini Zep Quote
mollyskeez Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 When you called did they say if they were planning on opening in the morning or waiting till 4 or whatever to open? Yeah and i dont think they will make snow all the time up untill then but they should get some blowing in. Quote
Tyler Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 i got the same answer when i called, friday. i forgot to ask what time though. I hope they pull something out of their ass and go for thursday but i dont think last night's winds helped with snowmaking Quote
JibHonk Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 yea i called at 2 today and they told me they were shooting for friday but should definately be open before next monday Quote
snowboarddude Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 Bear creek is turning the lights on now snowmaking should begin in another hour or 2 Quote
winterwarlock Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Dudes, you are all stressing me out. Listen to Burton71...chill-lax. Go get your homework done. It will take your mind off of snow. Quote
k2rider2690 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 i honostly dont think that we have to worry about when bear will be opening. they really shouldnt have a problem opening on friday...i was just there and there are tons of decent piles of snow. after the next two days of good snowmaking i think everyone will be surprised at how much snow they actually have on opening day...p.s. it doesnt look like the piles are that big on the mtn cam, believe me i was amazed when i saw it today in person... Quote
snowboarddude Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Posted December 5, 2007 from what i have heard about the piles being huge and everything bear should be ready to open thursday i can only hope Quote
burton71 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Just kick back have a beer or 12 and chill. They will open when the open. Thursday, friday, this weekend...its all good. Quote
