When will it start?

[JFskiDan]

Really looks like some favorable snowmaking conditions come this weekend.  Without a doubt, i would say BBEPIC fires up Thursday PM.  At least i think based on the forecast, Peak would.  we will see.  Whats Blue gonna do? Is the carpet and massage parlor done at the lower lodge?  Will it class the place up enough?

 Might need a hand to expedite the Blue Mountain PASR Parking Lot Lodge sooner than anticipated.

We will have the option to ski at BB this weekend.

Blues snowmaking will depend on the extended forecast and inversions.  At the least I think they’ll blow the mice out which will get RideDE super excited for no reason.

As long as they don’t do a vista only opening I’m happy.

I'd love a Vista opening if they opened before BB.  Show Vail who's boss.

Wahahahaha well last season was almost a vista only opening but Johnny style brought enough stoke for them to drop the ropw on Main Street.

The job fair is irrelevant.

in theory they need employees to operate the lifts and ticket office, so the job fair could be relevant

Brand new employees are not going to operating the lifts and ticket office opening day.  If they don’t open try not to have a temper tantrum.

in theory I'll have a back up plan in Xanadu for rain days.  Obviously it remains to be seen if they ever open

I think it’s called the American Dream.  Parts of it opened a few weeks ago with little fanfare.

Any PASRs who have a summer birthday now have a place to have a party.

Thursday night looks solid after the front moves through. Friday could be around the clock pending a slight change in temps. Worst case, they lose a couple hours midday and start back up as temps drop in the afternoon. Saturday is similar to Friday. My gut tells me 3 PM on Saturday. Make as long as they can Saturday and groom it out for an opening in the afternoon. That would match their earliest opening of November 9 that occurred around 10 years ago...

I don’t get as excited about blowing out the mice in PA now that my equipment is all up north in VT... I’ll keep it together.

Bold prediction...BB will open on the 17th with a few trails (freedom, love park and maybe something else). Blue will open on Black Friday with Vista and lower main.

Going with the “safe” bet this year? It really depends on whether Vail requires them to change early season operating procedure...

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

The forecast for next week looks decent for some blowing at Blue!!!!  Maybe lazy mile on Root Friday!!!

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

@saltyant this is great!!!

Guess it's time for me to drop some things off to get tuned. What is the normal turnaround time for the shop at Blue?

Normally its real quick.  Thats kind of vague, but they are way better than Buckmans 1-2 weeks for a tune.  I dont think i have ever waited more than a day for anything i have dropped off there.

I'm just curious because I have to be up in Bethlehem this weekend so I thought it would be perfect if I could drop off Saturday and pick up Sunday before I went home
