gdthomas Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 How fast would winds have to be for them to stop running lifts at BB? My friends and have been planning a trip up Sunday but right now they are forecasting 22mph winds. Just wondering if we should start worrying about rescheduling.

I can't remember them not running the lifts. Their lifts are fixed grip, so they are not affected like detachable lifts (hs quads, 6-packs).

I don't ever remember BB closing their lifts. Camelback has been closing their lifts lately due to winds. It has a lot of people complaining.

method9455 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 22 isn't that bad, you get wind that strong once or twice a week in most places, some places on the coast get that everday. The line seems to be about 25 for normal weather, after that the wind starts to get more serious but breaking 25 happens much less often.

fluffy Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 If winds are only 22mph then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. 40+ is when they start thinking about shutting down lifts, but even then it's usually only Big Boulder lift that is a problem.
