skidude Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I am about 99% possitive that AT THE LATEST they will close at 3/20/04. In the CAT room there was a memo from Joe Amato (dirrector of ski school) saying basicly that we need to have all of our crap out of the room by that date. Which means everyone is done then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidude Posted March 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Actually Skidudeski, I've seen the "memo", too. It does talk about CAT team stuff and removing it, but it doesn't have anything to do with the ski area closing.... What it does have to do with is construction that will be taking place inside the annex building where the CAT team is located. That construction is slated to begin in the building on 3/22, regardless of whether or not the ski area is open. Dave K Camelback Da from Dave K. I still say they are closing then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 They know when they are closing. They've had a date set for weeks. It's just their bullshit little game they feel it's necessary to play. If you ask Dave K straight up, he'll lie right to your face. I wouldn't even bother asking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjur Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I would typically say "head north", my friends, but this goddamn warm weather isn't making any part of the east look good this march. I'm afraid this season is destined for mediocrity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Jeez, if only it had been cold enough to build up some stock-piled man made to have us skiing into April's sunshine...oh, wait, it was butt-cold all f*king winter. Oh, well, gotta watch the bottom line when eight CB Board members each draw over $100,000 for VERY part time work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidude Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I say they are closed or almost closed (very few trails lots of Bare spots) when I get back from Utah. Jeff 20 foot piles (yes I saw them blowing them) are very big but on a mountain there not going to do a whole lot...Yeah it will help a lot with a couple trails but 25 or w/e blue says they have? Come on now you know that won't help them for long. Mean while CB is just lazy and cheap as sh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkSnow Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 The difference is that Blue is making an effort to stay open as long as possible. CB could care less, because the earlier it melts, the more time they have to build c'beach. It sucks but that's how it is. One more reason I'll have a Blue SP next year.

nick malozzi Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 exactly, at least they put out the effort to get as much snow on the ground as they could. they didn't waste cold nights. they were pumping it out as much as they could. sometimes its simply the thought that counts.

skidude Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Why would they use energy and effort? The newbies are probably not coming much anymore and thats what they go for. GRRRRR they are soo annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick malozzi Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 they use it because they can't predict a terrible march like this. they had no idea, so they made as much as possible in order to stay as long as possible. if it dosen't do much, then so be it. at least they did what they could to keep open. unlike CB who just says "well fuck it, if we close it just makes getting cbeach open easier". thats why it is the thought that counts. its the fact that Blue is run by skiiers and not investors. so they do everything they can to stay open.
