Sno Mountain Skier Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I can tell you it is plenty cold. I work right next door to them and our locks were frozen solid because it is so cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara43 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Is their snow making system broken or something? Also heard from someone in ski patrol that they had a fire over the summer and an entire trail jacked of all their cables like 8 months ago and they never replaced them, I bet the owners stashed the insurance cash. Said don't expect the mountain to be open 100% at all this year... They probably lost a ton of money on their crappy water park and can't even afford some cables..Said the owner has a history of making last min decisions like painting the north face towers in 40 degree weather days before opening last year and paint was pealing off all year. Are we seeing another Sno Mtn now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Just so long as they have the North Face open it will remain worth the trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara43 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) They expect to be open the first second week of December? That's like 3 weeks away.. If they have a warm snap they'll be kicking themselves in the ass. Last year was a fluke, they were making snow by now too.. Thanks, I stop by every once in a while for news but this just has me so pissed off I needed to make an account to get this off my chest. This is just the last straw, two years ago me and my husband were blasted from a blown out pipe on the Iron horse lift and ruined our day, that lift sucks too, sitting on broken seats all the time, I also heard from Patrol that heard from a lifty, last year the Phobe north face lift broke and they had to hot wire the stop gates to keep the lifts running and I wouldn't be surprised if they never fixed it.. Nice bar though! I guess we know where all their investment money went to, I can't imagine how much they spent on that horrid sculpture hanging from the lodge ceiling!! It's only November 19th and I doubt they have the kind of money that Blue has to blowSnow.Sara welcome to PASR Edited November 18, 2014 by Sara43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sno Mountain Skier Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 It isn't out of the question that they were vandalized or robbed. Our place got hit in the middle of October once our season winded down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara43 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Charlie is the alcoholic owner puling the strings of management from what I've heard. Yes I'm starting rumors but they're true and maybe if they know what I know, they'll fix it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poconoceancity Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 No excuse for not making snow in these temps and the temps over the next 5 days. What's elk up to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara43 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 The owners are a joke, one of them got drunk and drove a snowmobile down one of the black diamond trails and almost died last year, totaled the snowmobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara43 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Ohh and another thing, one of the Lift attendants last year, I almost reported him for his extremely inappropriate comments and advancements every time I got on the chair, I really hope he's not back this year. So creepy!! I can go for days!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didnt you report the guy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara43 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I didn't feel like figuring out where to go, I did tell a guy on a snowmobile that seemed like a supervisor but that didn't stop him that night, I see him sitting at the top all the time, they probably put him there to keep him from harassing customers. We all know the lifts are the weakest point of the resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Law Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 last year the Phobe north face lift broke and they had to hot wire the stop gates to keep the lifts running The stops are finicky, lots of places (Bear Creek) have they finagled so the lift runs.
