This reminds me of the song when the truck driver lost his brakes on Wolf Creek pass. Earl pressed the brakes but it went to the floor and then they crashed into a chicken coop in downtown Pagosa Springs.

They even BBQ’d in the lot. When I lived in Montana opening day at Bridger bowl was similar conditions just light pow on everything and like a 30” unconsolidated base.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Forst freeze tonight in Central NJ. It will be interesting to see who opens first in PA this year now that Vail has taken their 5 hills off the table for a Nov opening including traditional front runner Big Boulder. Where are folks thinking of getting their first turns in. Not counting my Sept couple hrs at Big Snow I might consider Mt Snow - if they pull off being open 11/14 as promised (2 weeks away!) with reasonable terrain. Or Hunter on 11/21 if no PA options by those weekends. Figure it is a season to get in turns as fast as we can as who knows what further shut downs await.

Blue will open Root Friday or earlier if the temperatures permit. Long range forecast is mild but it’s super early. Anything before Martin Luther king day is bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs to be cold for 3-4 nights in mid November to happen. Definitely not a pipe dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbike-ski Posted October 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 may be more of a challenge this year as social distancing might not be easy with main st/burma chairs, will they wait until they can open top to bottom? That's what K is doing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what K is doing... This was my thought as well, the demand (although we all want to ski) might not be there for them to justify trying to force an early opening.

That's what K is doing... I guess we still dont really know what the maximum occupancy of the mountain is based off of, whether is some type of square footage math problem, or an equation based on what the lifts can handle.......but i would have to assume the percentage of just passholders is quite high on opening day, and the possibility of exceeding capacity with just main and burma is a pretty real scenario. i sort of think the top to bottom thing might be a reality, but thats a whole bunch more ground to cover just to even open with the normal opening offerings. I'm just hoping they can get to making snow around thankgiving. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) As Blue is saying they will offer pass holders pro rated refunds if Covid causes them to be open less than 100 days, that gives them incentive to be open every early season day they can - as there could clearly be another lock down this winter. And it actually seem the Main street and Burma chairs are better suited to one party per chair than the larger lifts. I'd do an early season day at Blue if they open in Nov for sure Edited October 30, 2020 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Last season Blue opened on 11/16 which is only 14 days away. With the forecast I don’t see that happening but haven’t given up hope for Root Friday which is in 25 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this season will be what it is. I'll be happy to get a few good days around here and hopefully out west for some. Can't say I'm too excited about skiing right now, but maybe thats because it was 75 and sunny all weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
