Where do you get this information lol? We're making snow every chance we get with the exception of christmas. I'm sorry if our guys had off for the holiday to spent some time with their children and families one day of marginal temps lol. We're in every way possible trying to make as much snow as possible. We've even been letting the guns the night shift lit run until almost 10pm until we absolutly have to shut them down because of humidity and or temps. I deicided to stay with the snow making team rather than go back to lifts and theres nothing more we want to do than make snow.

Hey motoxpete, I feel your pain I had a Burton Custom stolen from camelback about 4 years ago 2 weeks after I bought it in under 45 seconds. I put it down ran inside the door to the soda machine on the other side put my money it grabbed my soda and ran back out to a stolen board. If it helps at all I have an old board and bindings setup im trying to get rid of cheap for $50 I only rode it one season before I upgraded I mainly bought it just to get back on the snow after having lost such an expensive board a few years earlier and quitting for a couple seasons. Its a Rossignol Prowler with some K2 bindings on it, one binding might need a new toe strap I think I remember it slipping on me once but let me know if your interested.

We definatly wont be 100% open this season unless this weather totally changes. We need a good at the least 15 day stretch of 24 hour snowmaking.

All those great big new snow guns they ordered can't do them squat with weather like this, they made a big mistake or at least the weather totally screwed them. THe guns they purchased are not made for making snow in marginal temperatures as we've had all winter so don't expect them to make much snow unless its near 26 degrees.

I haven't been up to VT yet this season but I don't understand how Killington has 40+ trails open and Jay Peak and Stowe have 9 and 12 trails open and they're further north. What is Killington's magic besides money? Has anyone been there recently, hows the conditions?

Yes, the flat down flat and the up flat are fairly wide but the straight rail in the center is much narrower. Camelback seems to like things wide but I have no complaints with that

Anytime, keep the faith papa!

Heres a few of the "new" ones currently sitting at the top of the rhodo waiting for snow. Merry Christmas, I hope your impressed. I can't wait to hit them.

I would work on your slides on a flat box until you feel comfortable sliding before trying a kinked box. Black Jacket, Black Pants, Black Burton Seven with a red base. I counted 14 cars in the parking lot including mine lol.

Ouch how did that happen? I was loving it accept towards the end of the night the landing got so bumpy it was ridiculas.

Went to blue for the first time today, the snow was great was like spring boarding I was impressed with the mountain and the 6 seater rocks. All in all a great night. We spent most of the night in the park though they have it setup as follows for anyone interested. Small Gap on Battle Ship Box Butter Box Tabletop Big Gap on Flat Box Small Gap on Flat Box

My friend and I got bored so we went to home depot and found this piece of desktop like wood with a white coating on top of it and threw together this box in 10 min to ice sesh with 140lbs of crushed ice cubes. Unfortunatly one of the legs and a piece of the cheap scrap 2x4 cracked off at the end of the night. I'm the one in the tan pants. 11/26/06 http://home.ptd.net/~luka/iceboard.wmv

Great time today for only having one mid station trail to ride. I spent all day on the trail the rail park look packed most of the day. I was the guy in all black w/ a black burton seven if anyone noticed.

Anyone who was at Bellayre today find out any information on if they're going to have more trails open tomarrow?

Belleayre it will be, thanks.

Belleayre or Hunter what mountain do you think will be the best choice for Saturday?

Ever consider that there is already a thread about CB snowmaking and that CB also has its own forums where other mountains do not. It is also a holiday in which many people spend time with their families instead of sit on the pc.

Highmount Forecast Looks like the rain is somewhat holding off from high mount. Seems like they will get hit from 3-5pm and than the rain is gone and the temps will start dropping enough to fire up the guns for the weekend. Hopfully the snow makers for our sake will be working on this holiday. Can't wait for Saturday. To bad I have to work tomarrow.

This rain in the forecast for highmount, ny is scaring me as well as all the rain we got last night

I wish we had some Belleayre locals on the forum so we could get an idea of how much snow they have already made for this weekend. The forecast there as well as here is so friggin sporadic with warm days and cold/semi cold nights arggg; Although according to the forcast for highmount it looks very promising that they'll be open for this weekend but I don't know if they will have enough snow to remain open as some rain and high temps will move in the following week so I hope that dosn't cause them to not open this weekend.

We started blowing base snow which is that real wet shit so it lasts the longest. Tonight was mainly a test run and training for new guys hopfully what we made will last until we can resume when tempertures permit next week since we have thanksgiving and the weekend off.

About 6" as of 8:00 this morning.
