    need some donations.  bouys aint cheap, thats why this one isnt the best.  we had to trade some Russians cases of Marlboro Reds, those cheese things they have at Royal Farms, and some Wawa gift cards.  And at that, it was a super sketchy deal.

    Especially when you're going for the SHRRR radar to improve the sensitivity of the falling precipitation on that side of the mountain, not to mention the all-important increased sensitivity of the air temperature and humidity sensors!
    Should abandon the wave height sensor altogether as it's pretty useless on Beltzville lake.

    Noticed they have a portable fan gun laying in wait for extra coverage at the intersection of Main St and Burma, good to see they are least preparing and have snowmaking on the radar. 

    Checking out the cams in the dark, interesting to see where the blinky lights are...

    Wao, wearing them around the house sounds hardcore. I'll be so speedy I'll probably be passing Grilled Cheese and Atomic all day long on my Speed Machines. 

    Idk what Blue does, as I bought them at Buckmans using part of the tent sale proceeds from my sold RTMs and $50 boots from Craigslist I used once. I understand Buckmans does some technique for molding the liner - I might have them do that after a few days skiing in them.

    Nah, not that hardcore.  Rather get them a little broken in before taking them out on the mountain.  It also helps start building up callous on the feet, so they're also not as sore the first days out.

    Ah, from your post, I thought you bought them up at Blue and rode the mountain before/after you bought them.

    They don't say much about the boot's liners, but it sounds like they're heat moldable, so just wearing them around and the heat from your foot might help to mold them as well.

    I will be. The new boots feel a bit tight so I'm hoping they arent too painful until they break in.

    I usually wear them around the house prior to going out the first time.
    I'll buckle them down as tight as I can stand it, flex them a lot, walk around in them, sit at the computer, watch TV, etc. for a while.  Do this daily or so to help the process progress faster.

    WJW the Speedmachines.  You looking to keep up with @GrilledSteezeSandwich?

    Looks like they have some new fandangled fitment gizmo for molding the liner.
    Did Blue mention that and/or have the kit to do it?
    (Nothing like spelling/grammar checking your site before publishing it... "you just need to heat the area trough the infrared lamp", "apply the suction cup to neutralize the pressure in few minutes.")

    This is interesting.  The few years I made snow at Camelback back in the early 2000s, I dont ever remember a power grid interuption.  I wonder if the grid is weaker near Blue or this is a new thing with more homes using electric heating alternatives to oil and gas.

    Seems to be a more recent thing (power companies shutting snowmaking down). 
    Don't know if it's the grid, amount of people/development in the area, lack of electricity production, number of Teslas??

    It happened twice no ? I remember the first time it was hyper cold for a couple days and I expected some whales but shit was still brown.

    Nothing major but temps are starting to improve a little in the forecast

    Yup, I believe shortly after they shut em down again.
    Indeed, it was a total downer, expecting huge amounts of snow only to see nada.
    Damn people turning up their thermostats to stay warm!
    Don't they know there are sliders starving in the East for man-made perder???

    Last year they got super lucky iirc it was a narrow window to get anything open and then it got super sketch before the slow addition of trails but I distinctly recall us mentioning had they not gone hard in that first shot it would have taken another couple weeks. 

    And then another super cold shot came in, but the power company shut them down.

    i have fox poo on my yard too.  one might think the presence of a fox would deter the groundhogs from setting up camp, but it doesnt look that way.  it doesnt deter the deer either.  Other than shitting on my lawn, he doesnt bother me that much.  

    The deer shit the most.  Everything from piles of pellets to huge piles, both of which seem to turn into big clumps of weeds.
