My japanese is not so good since I stopped trying to teach myself. I think the only thing I remember was "I would like a hamsandwich" ... But its nice to be able to actually watch whats going on up there.

Whats the deal with tonight? I assume you cant make snow so will that be a big problem? How much do you have down and how much do you think you'll lose? Also, how much are you looking to have (base depth/trails covered) to be able to open?

just so long as its not some conspiracy to cut costs... you better have a good park if its gonna be worth the wait then

And then they got sunday and monday too if they want to open on tuesday. but Im serious do they have a different snowmaking crew? I never remember them having a time limit to when they blew snow and thats what it almost seems like is happening. Maybe its just the water temp because of last week I dunno, it just seems wierd

They arent making snow tomorrow night. too warm

There are a bunch of proposed openings The 10th, at least I think, may still be a probable opening date The 12th was anounced by a Bear Creek rep on these forums. Bear Creek's website still has no word on an opening date, so basically its still up in the air. Anything could happen at this point.

yea but we also have a tuesday ill still be there so what the hell im just gonna be going insane this weekend if I cant get up to Blue

WE GOT ACTION!!! They're running the tower guns on Cascade. *dances* strange... does anyone know if the snowmaking crew is different cuz I never remember them being like this

Does anyone know when they stopped making snow this morning?

They need to throw some ice cubes in the pond or something. Its ridiculous that they should have to wait. I just checked accuweather, we hit the 28 degree mark so Im sure we'll see something soon.

The lights are on but they still havent turned the guns on they're taking a really wierd approach to making snow everyone else is going insane making snow whenever possible it looks like Bear is only making snow between 9:30 and whenever in the morning ... do they have a different snowmaking crew this year?

On account of it being in the 70s last week I guess. I still dont see why they need to open 80-90% of their terrain with a "top notch park" on opening day. But whatever 6 days till I get to ride again

Why do they wait so long each night to turn on the guns? I remember in previous years they turned those things on right after it dipped below freezing.

I HATE WEEKDAY OPENINGSSSSSSSSSSSS GAH GAH I SAY!

They need to balance how good they are on opening day with actually opening. It just sucks cuz I cant make it on a Tuesday because of school.

I prefer to let resorts surprise me

loyal passholders only! But for realio Id go if you had a couple of jibs set up. I dont need 80-90% open and 50ft tabletops on opening day. Just riding and something to mess around on is enough

I did you said you'd get extra snow. Unless you're just using the extra time to build the park.

Why? its too warm to blow Monday night and maybe Sunday night too and the rest of that week it looks like and the lights arent even on at Bear whats up with that?

I just wish they wouldnt open on a weekday... 50% of Bears terrain = 43 acres 5-6 nights snowmaking Thats 7.12 - 8.6 acres that need to be covered per night I know theres a bunch of things I'm not taking into account but that sounds do-able. Doesnt it?

Id prefer if they open Saturday with half the mountain open to Tuesday with 80-90% open. Besides Monday night is too warm to blow snow so what are you gonna be doing on the extra days?

cuz I NEED SNOWBOARDING ... they just act indecisively and "just wait" is their mantra patience was never my virtue I usually shup up when they turn the snowguns on if nothing else pray for cold to stop my complaining

Im praying a new mountain opens next to Bear that makes snow. I sound ungrateful I like Bear, they just need to get on the stick with snowmaking and getting the mountain open.

The 12th...? I heard the 10th, and why would they open on a tuesday?

If they dont open because they never finished the lifts then I'll be really disappointed
