Ski Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Ty and I went over from 4 to 5pm for a couple quick runs and the guns are still blowing full force on the east side. A groomer was making it's way up Lower Runaway, so that side of the mountain is close to opening. Maybe tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya gotta love a nice long cruise, and just imagine when those glades open Def by the weekend. Not sure if it's on purpose, but it also looked like they've been angling guns to drop snow into the glades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdaddyk Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I was there from 5:15 to 7:15. I heard a liftie tell somebody that the runs over by fast track / runaway were now open. I hit lower runaway on my last run. It wasn't groomed really well and probably still should have been closed, until they got it groomed out better. It looked like they quickly pushed the piles around, but I would think that by tommorrow it should be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackbiker Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 is there anyway i can get a discount ticket for sno? i wanna go but i dont want to pay $50 to ski there at $30 in gas The only discounts I know of are the vouchers sold by the town or borough recreation departments.

It's a little unclear, but that's what it looks like: http://www.snomtn.com/ticketpricing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little unclear, but that's what it looks like: http://www.snomtn.com/ticketpricing/ ya, they do. i LOVE that they have all-the-time pricing for college students. More mountains should adopt that (i'm still pissed at blue for taking it away). Is the Long Haul lift going to be open this year? I thought I read from someone on here that it was gonna be open every day. I liked Sno from what I saw last year. I'll be up at least once this year, probably in late February and in March. I wish it was a little closer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Long Haul will open when those slopes open. Well, that's the idea. BTW: anyone notice the new lights on Spike? Jeez, I wish they'd throw some on the race course. There was a thread about the white lights being installed and some discussion about yellow/amber being better for snow definition. But if you measure the light coming from the new "white" lights, I'd bet they give off five times the light as the old ones. With yellow goggles, you get the definition back, plus have more light. Anyway, they should have a lightbulb screwing party and get 'em all done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just being envious of all your light over there, you lucky b*st*rds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddyk Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 BTW: anyone notice the new lights on Spike? I thought that the bulk of the light seemed to be focused in a small area. Bright white light can also reflect more, which might not be good. I guess it's a matter of preference. I've heard people complain about the lights at BB, but I actually think the lighting is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I guarantee that if/when Sno switches to all white lights, there will be universal agreement that it was a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mountain I have ever seen with all white lights was St Sauveur in Quebec, and it was amazing. I've done a lot of night riding after school in my life, and that was a whole different experiance. Mountain Creek has them on 1 trail (the superpipe for TV at night), and it was a huge difference, I don't buy this "White is too bright" crap at all.
