  1. Sticky snow is cheaper - more gallons per minute at a given temperature means denser snow that doesn't till as nicely, but lasts longer, builds up quicker, and costs less.

  2. It was sweet through about 10:30, the sleet stopped and Barney's was bumped without having been seeded - natural spaced bumps are a treat and natural snow in them just made them better. I started with Chute - Main, did one trip down Main proper, then ComeAround to Chute a couple times before the kitty litter and lumps took over Chute. ComeAround had nice powder that whole time. After that I worked on Barney's 'till I packed it in. My conclusion is I need more practice, wax, and sharp edges. More powder wouldn't hurt either.

  3. I didnt actually look at tubing. I said hopefully they are done on tubing soon. 
    Are you a tuber?  Why so much info on whats going on at tubing?
    I'm not a potato, I've been slow tubing maybe three times but I did take a look around when I drove by.

  4. Pretty decent snow day today. Lazy was sooo much better today. Stopped in the lower lot on my way out. Blowing on challenge, not huge production. Really hard to tell what paradise looked like. Hopefully they will be done on tubing soon so they can focus on more trails. 
    Done? The middle section is barely white and the family tubes haven't even started yet.

  5. The big tell is going to be Tubing and the valley - if the fans for the base area run plus Tubing, they're ready to fight and try and stockpile.

     

    Edit: as compared to opening just for the weekend.

  6. Why?  

    Because it's five inches of natural. That'll compact to about an inch of base depth. Then it'll melt for a few days before the snowguns turn back on. No area around here will open on such a slim margin that one inch of base depth makes it or breaks it.

     

    Also, the meltwater is going to soak the ground. Dry ground holds manmade better than sloppy wet, but this part probably doesn't change much either - again, there wasn't enough to really move the needle.
