ThinkSnow Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 So I was at Blue today, and the first piece of weather to report is that is was quite cold. The snow was in good shape, and they appeared to be making craploads of it on all of their remaining trails, I'm sure CamelBack is in a similar position and I don't think 100% is too far off. Overall it should be a good weekend, but bundle up!

skigurl Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 it was the same today, very slow snow but the drills they had us doing kept us going fast, but there were times when i would get pushed back up rocket by the wind
forumpl155 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 it was so bitterly cold today.... I wasn't at CB but at Bear creek (not a bad lil mountain, better terrain parks if ya ask me) and it seems like we barely did any runs cause we were always cold. I was layered to the max just about. and the snow was so frikin slow too... I just waxed my board with all temp wax and it didn't wanna move.... anyways it was so cold that I didn't notice that I think I sprained my wrist till I got home because it was so numb... also the INSIDE of my car windows frosted up while driving on the way home... that's with defrost and heat on high and i was sweating... lol

SomeGuyWhoSkis Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 I wonder what the temps looks like next week. I want to see snowmaking but don't really want it to be this cold. It was 10F yesterday in NJ at noon with the sun fully uncovred. That's F-ing cold.

skidude Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 forumpl All purpose wax is only good to about 15 or maybe 10 degrees. I had that same problem.
