So i went back to look at last year, and i would have bet money they opened on Black Friday. they didnt. they opened December 6th. But i do clearly remember early December had good snowmaking temps. i hope the flip switches this year again in early December.

i dont think we are skiing at Blue on Black Friday, or, for that matter, any day in November.

trying to stay positive, as i still see some stuff that says we will get cold before, but just going off the 10-15 day, im gonna have a back up plan for that weekend for some things to do besides ski. i wont go zero, but its pretty low at this point. we need 2-3 days of cold to get some shit open. making snow at 30 degrees for 3 hours a night will just put us all on pills watching the cams.

i have no idea where 5 or 7 are, im not a seasoned skier/tuber at Camelback, but i was greeted somewhere in the red circle with a little card on how to pay, and nobody said to me "oh, you are cheap? park in that lot"

Camelback has new GM, so there should be some changes. Probably fucking up shit this year, like they did last year, well, that might not lead to a long career as GM. I hope they get their shit together. i am assuming this is where the free parking will be.

hopefully the snow is holding on better at the "higher elevations"

i was thinking the same thing when i saw they were making snow the other morning. But the whales on Homiestretch seen to be holding up well.

but its like 32 degrees, so production should be off the charts!

They are really getting after it this morning, so i would think they would announce Vista opening pretty soon.

i was kind of thinking this was all gonna be for show, i mean, there are only a few more guns that they could turn on in front of cameras. but, yeah, the forecast could change, and then they end up behind on snowmaking. i just hope this amounts to something.

sounds like at least K fired up last night. and got some snow. 6" at Sugarbush. nice.

yup, im done thinking i can hold off the inevitable. i used to, but no more. I turned the AC off here, like 2-3-4 weeks ago, then turned the heat on 2 days later when it was like 62 in the house.

i think i turned my heat on in the poconos labor day weekend. but then a week or two later i had the AC on. it says its 50 degrees in my house right now.

Good seeing everybody the other night. Thanks to @Dirtwolf for hosting.

whats up with the Handicap parking signs here?
