Dan- Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 They need to learn how to groom before they get any new guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 database is down? cant see. its kinda one in the same dan. they go hand in hand. blue could have the sickest fan guns and the craziest most innovative nozzle design but they would still fuck up the water/air mix so it would be pointless. they should do a seminar with the new lodge they just built. nice powerpoint presentation and open bar for a night...take a few classes or something. most guns now a days are auto anyway. really not sure how they run their tillers but seems like they just run it full rpm, sometimes reverse and not in float.

Ride Delaware ? Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Moral of the story is that Blue can make snow, but not good snow, and they can't groom worth a damn... So we get the death cookies with no cookie monster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 they've improved, but still suck. they need to stop blowing such wet snow. Do you think it is because they blow at marginal temps? I've seen them blow when other resorts wouldn't even try... I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I know they fuck up past that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 money.... Well, if your blowing at 25, pixie dust, which is much better quality, is basically the same price, just a different water/air mixture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Well, if your blowing at 25, pixie dust, which is much better quality, is basically the same price, just a different water/air mixture... It's not the same price. $/compacted snow volume is much higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 depends where you get your water from and how efficient your pumps/gens are. might as well higher pendot workers. could even put little reflectors in the middle of the trail for night skiing.

Now you're talking...but yes, the palmeranians that do the grooming now don't care about skiing. They drive the cat as fast as possible and don't bother looking what they left behind them.

They drive the cat as fast as possible and don't bother looking what they left behind them. they get done as fast as possible or just dick around. sometimes they are still grooming in the morning and i really doubt they groomed all night based on the quality sometimes. other days, it's great. this last year they have had some of the best grooming i have ever seen at Blue. thats what getting there for opening and skiing weekdays will show you.

I agree...the worst is getting slightly better but the best is getting better. Slow the down a little and take your time. Most importantly, overlap enough. Can't tell you how many times they leave a nice line down the middle of the trail when they failed to over lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
