December 5th-7th opening weekend roll call!!!

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey All,

 

It’s almost the start of another ski season. Blue blew snow Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.  Tonight is marginal snowmaking conditions but the following couple nights look decent along with a snowstorm with a predicted 1-14” of snow expected.  It will be a nowcasting event.

 

 Opening day December 5th looks chilly..anybody gonna be at Blue the true for opening day or weekend?  I’m planning on it likely be a 9am opening they had 8am opening last season to beat Jack Frost.  Saturday I plan on skiing as well, I have a Xmas party Saturday night might not ski Sunday.  

A few weeks ago things looked grim but Blues aggressive snowmaking and a little help from Mother Nature looks to make for a solid start to the local ski season. 
 

high five for stoke pass it down

Was Little Cesars out of the hot and ready when you stopped by, or did they close the store?  A little grumpy, arent we?

Glad some things never change and why are you gonna be in south Florida for Blues opening day?  

[PSUFrankenstein]

I have a ton of shit to do on the weekends from now until Christmas but maybe Sunday morning depending on what's open

[theprogram4]

New goggles and helmet have been ordered.  They could possibly arrive before the weekend 

[NMSKI]

Hoping for Sunday!

[RidgeRacer]

Friday, Saturday and probably Sunday. LFG!!

[enjoralas]

Assuming they pull it off, probably won't take off work Friday, but might head up after if trail lineup is decent, to say I skied opening day. Definitely Saturday. Sunday morning Grayson has am indoor soccer game so probably skip unless conditions and trails are too good to pass up

Maybe he would walk 500 miles then walk 500 more just to be the man who walked 1000 miles to fall down at your door.

AI can be so good sometimes, and other times trash.

I drive to HHI every year, I'm well aware. Every group needs a debbie downer so thanks for being ours.

Cat on Central Park making laps.

I'm stoked. 

[JFskiDan]

cant hate on this forecast.  i like when they line up pretty close.  lots of good snowmaking temps coming up.  Opening this weekend is in the bag.  Wax up your skis.  or scrape off your storage wax.  or just dig them out of the closet, but dont forget your poles.  

It will be interesting to see how they handle friday opening, as it looks like they could make snow from Thursday PM till Sat AM sometime.  Hopefully they dont just open some narrow and thin trails just to open.  Camelsack already beat them to open, so whatever.

its a shame those friday temps couldn't come a day earlier. i have a feeling there's going to be some really good coverage/variety by next weekend with that forecast. looks like they could almost go full speed from this coming sun night through thurs morning.

yeah, a day earlier would have been better.  They have been blowing lots, but as of yet, they havent had really good production temps.  I think the offering for next weekend will be pretty decent.
