RootDKJ Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 5 hours ago, Ride Delaware ? said: Between tonight, tomorrow night, Tuesday night, and around the clock Wednesday, Boulder should almost be guaranteed next Friday, even with the niar on Monday night/Tuesday morning. With temps in the low 20’s Tuesday night, and a high of 29 Wednesday, I could see a 3 PM opening Wednesday depending on what they put down the next two days. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they opened with two trails or added the second trail by the weekend, but it depends on if they start building the base now. Blue looks much less likely for an opening on the 17th. Even Root Friday looks iffy with current temperatures... Root, will you head to Bell if Blue isn’t open Root Friday? Hunter is pounding the mountain too, but it will be twice as busy... That’s the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Boulder might be blowing on more than just freedom. the webcams show snow on top of big boulder lodge. Thats a long way for snow to travel from freedom. Maybe RideDE? called them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Little known fact: I’m actually what is called an “early season snowmaking planner specialist”. I’m on retainer with most resorts to come up with an early season snowmaking plan that maximizes their chances of opening as early as possible without blowing a bunch of snow that will likely melt out.

You really think they are willing to pull a camelback? (Announce opening and not make it) normally they announce an opening 3 hours before, not 3 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 They seemed extremely confident about it. Plus the temps are more than enough to make it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar73 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I also heard BB is planning to open this week/weekend. glad to see this is most likely gonna happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 If the temps hold on Wednesday and Thursday, they could have two days with pretty close to around the clock snowmaking. I think they’ve got this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprogram4 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 BB early season is a tradition at this point, just like roughly 2-3 weeks of upper lot at blue. it would be kind of depressing to not start and end the season at BB. plus, my 3-4 BB trips per year are really the only time i exerperience the poconos. blue is techinically in the poconons by like 100 yards, but culturally it is not the poconos 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the eagles logo under theprogram4's screen name I doubt if he misses many eagles games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
