That's because they groom immediately after blowing, there's no time for the "snow" to dry out. Look at how good the snow was on Coming Soon when it first opened and Raisins (from what I was told), since the snow had time to sit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only tech i see is a radar to tell them how deep the base is, as far as i could tell, from what i watched. As cool as it is, its only as good as the people that use it, and how they use it. Every piece of equipment has a huge computer screen on it these days. Its a problem for the older generation. you know, the guys that wont use an iphone, and struggle with a flip phone....those types. I have guys at work that struggle with sending emails from an iphone. And just blatantly wont do it because its "new" and it will take them 20 minutes to learn how. We have a really expensive brand new paver that we struggle with, because its less levers and cables, and all done by wires, and, you guessed it, has a huge computer screen on it, and does fancy shit like self adjust based on points you put in it, or reads off of a curb. Lots of tech for a bunch of low tech guys. Cant teach an old dog, new tricks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 My old delivery guy had paper map books for every county in eastern PA and NJ. It sure was fun when I played the navigator. He’d have ten miles to go and slow down and look at every cross street. New guy is addicted to GPS…if it told him to drive off a pier he would. He’s super geographically illiterate. He’s always asking me if a certain place is near somewhere and dumb questions. He’ll be like is lambertville near coatesville. No… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No… Turn on gps, turn off brain. i have found people using a gps and they were in the wrong state. no lie. all of our trucks have trackers on them, so occasionally i will see one, and be like what the fuck is that guy doing there? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never personally used a GPS. I’m amazed I used to remember where all my classrooms and friends phone numbers were and where random people lived in college. A lot of our cemetery files have Mapquest directions printed out in the early 2000s and some have really really old directions where 145/MacArthur road is called 7th street and when parts of 78 were 309.

They have dedicated season pass lines but they also upped their cattle chute game all around. They had pleeb chutes setup at like 910 on the new sixer which is good for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad to see some improvement, I'm sure it will be nuts to butts but some simple things will really help. Interested to see if they are ready tomorrow, all week they've been good but it's easy when it's empty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good to see Blue making an effort! Complaining does seem to help. Hopefully they'll implement something in the new 6 for grouping, if it's seriously crowded.
