skidude Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Lights are on now...But I think they are going to fire up the guns on meadows first...and the cam isn't facing that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnbiker99x Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Lights are on now...But I think they are going to fire up the guns on meadows first...and the cam isn't facing that... Looks like activity on top of Marjie's and to the right of cam (proll Meadows) with some snow blowing in front of cam every so often....they cut the sound so you can't hear it.

Stevo Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 they cut the sound so you can't hear it. The people at camelback are such teases. First with the wallride, not telling us it IS a wallride, and now they cut the sound on the webcam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJSkiFamily Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 It does look like snow blowing on the cam. Can't wait to see it in daylight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you..... but if you look to the left of the cam it looks like something is being blown over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnbiker99x Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I totally agree with you..... but if you look to the left of the cam it looks like something is being blown over there At least they got something goin on. They usually start at top of mountain and work down as it gets colder they can turn more guns on, its got something to do with the amount of compressed air. The colder it is the less air they need.

steezy Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 So I have been watching the cam and they have just started up a couple of more guns... omg I think I have a hard on from watching this lol lol j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTmark Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 yep colder it is the less air you need. or you can use teh same amount of air and use more water. and get more snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidude Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 The snowguns are on in the base, and on marjies now...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Just got back from CB. They are blowing on meadows, coolmoor, marjies, nile and honey moon lane (as a way back from over by nile?!?!?). They may have been blowing on more, I didn't take the time to find a good spot to stop, and I was driving... Coolmoor was the only area I could really see the snow clearly. They had a half inch cover at best. Not bad for only a few hours of blowing though. I'll try and take a trip out tomorrow and find out more. Thats what I saw. After looking at the trail map again, there must have been blowing else where, but thats all I saw... hopefully better report tomorrow... if CB's site doesn't beat me to it.

Schif Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Not bad. I'm glad to see I"m not the only one who colors trail maps when I hear they're making snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steezy Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 As of 8:01 they are still blowing snow on the base area. I think that they are going to continue to blow until like 12:00, take a break while the temp is above freezing and then start back up again at about 3:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJSkiFamily Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Thanks dthmtl, love the map update. Bare trees, freezing temps, snow blowing.....I'm loving it!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimom Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 The webcam shows blowing on the base. Why would they blow in all those areas? It doesn't make sense, especially with warm temps coming. They should be focusing on runs from one lift - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a drive by this morning, they are blowing on all the bits you showed except Nile, no sign of anything over there. They're also blowing on upper marc anthony. Looks like a lot of trails to start with. Cover at the base area and on coolmoor is starting to look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LineSki Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Im suprised there not blowing in the park, they will surely have it open first day like they usually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeless Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Im suprised there not blowing in the park, they will surely have it open first day like they usually do. Ah, american sarcasm. Never sure if it's real... There was some sign of coverage in pipe surprisingly, it looked like more than just accidental blowover from the meadows.

iceman_4432 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Straight from the Camelback site. "Snowmaking Operations Set to Begin Thursday, November 17th! TANNERSVILLE, PA?As colder temperatures take hold in the Pocono Mountains, Camelback Ski Area today announced that snowmaking for the 2005-2006 season will begin the night of Thursday, November 17, 2005. Click here for entire release." They say in it that they don't plan on opening until early December, which sounds like a long time if they start tomorrow... I remember in years past them blowing snow for 4 days then opening, even though openings were pretty poor. Maybe this at least means they'll have a lot of trails on opening day! I hope so! Maybe they'll open December 3rd... Just sittin at my desk with my skiis .. READY !!!!!! GO CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidude Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 On there conditions page, it says there blowing on Mark, Marjies, LG (park and pipe)...nothing else from the top (NOT NM, or cleo)...Looks like opening day will be Marjies or mark or the park.... And uhh tubing will be open nov 25....I saw we ski down that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurker Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Oh man the camera looks so cool right now. You can see the oscillating fan guns at the base totally pumping out so much snow and other tower guns shooting snow everywhere. Man I'm pumped. I would bet that they are probably going to get good base on the trails they are blowing on right now, then expand out to other trails. It looks like they'll have plenty of time! Plus the park looks like its opening for sure from the very beginning. Woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schif Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Right now the cam is amazing, snow pouring out of guns as far as the eye can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
