I thought they put them in place first then groom the snow around them to hold them in place.
-
Looks like they changed the valley cam view once again. Hmmm... Wait a minute. WTF did they do with the pass reader gates???
-
Oh yeah, I agree that the lights are diddly in comparison to running the pumps and compressors. Just a diversion in the topic of lights while waiting for the weekend, that's all.
-
Yeah, it wouldn't be cheap, but it's a capex and could be amortized over a number of years in addition to the electricity savings that would be ongoing as well as the lifetime of the LEDs should be substantially longer. I'm sure the maintenance guys could do it and the existing power lines for those sodium bulbs have to be overkill for the LEDs. A quick Google results in some direct replacement bulbs for sodium vapor bulbs (I'm sure with the age of Blue's, they probably don't have them, but still) and claiming 60-70% energy savings!
-
One would think with how thin they run things at Blue, they'd bite the bullet and switch out those high-energy sodium bulbs for LEDs.

Yeah, went back to previous page and saw it. Edited post. Never know with Blue though. They didn't say anything about lower Main on first day and they opened it. However, they may not want to staff valley lodge quite yet.
-
I was looking for that too, but it's impossible to tell if they blew anything over that way now. I've not seen them blowing on Main Street at all and it looks like the grooming stops at the Main Street chair. Guess they're using all the power for other parts of the mountain. They've still got time to blow yet this week. I think we'll see the 6 this weekend. Guess snot.
-
They actually had it running last Saturday, I noticed.
-
Yup, they'll point it straight up Home Stretch which is almost totally useless.
-
Looks like they changed webcam views. I don't like the new Main Street view as it cuts off upper main street. At least I could sometimes get a glimpse of them working on Barney's. They also changed the Valley view. This new view is better as you can see the majority of the mountain now.

Did you talk to him? Looks like he might have some interesting stories.

Unfortunately, unless a polar vortex decides to roll our way...

I only reported what I saw, not what I thought.

Now you know you need to get up 30 minutes earlier.

Looking more like a rain event now... 😞

TFTI!

It definitely is, especially when you're out skiing in the middle of the woods with nobody else around, in a ton of freshly fallen/falling powder.

QFT! Learn to ski the bumps in preparation for tree skiing. Scream groomers in the morning on the fast snow, bumps the rest of the day, especially in the spring after the sun hits them to soften them up.

Or philosophical. I only want to think about skiing.

That's why you always presume instead of assume!
-
It's snowing in Utah, why isn't Blue blowing snow? Geez!
-
Did you ask for ski socks with pictures on them?

Is Sidewinder open yet? Are the jumps built yet?
