  1. You think 12-18 is a little high up here? There's some lake streamers that look like they could enhance it, but still looks like a stretch
  2. I don't know why because it's just air and water, but I am always in awe of those massive snowmaking efforts. It's enough to want to make that my retirement job in about 10 years. Crap hours, crap working conditions, crap pay, but something about being out there in the middle of night blasting the mountain with snow.
  3. I agree..I bet they have snowmaking shut down, the trail groomed and sprayed down and the fences in by Monday.
  4. Entertainment purposes only…but i’d hit that. .
  5. Lots of snow in the air on that flow following the storm. .
  6. Always appreciate his detailed meteorological analysis. Really adds a lot to those wishing to discuss weather. .
  7. Yes, you’re right. They do have an inspection I think right around now, but in the past, they get a wink and nod from FIS because of their reputation and the forecast. This is a big race for them, so I think they trust killington if they say they can get it done. .
  8. I think they’ll be fine. Looks like non-stop snowmaking until the event. I bet they open the north ridge weds too. This is about as good an early season window as it gets. Just give us a heads up when you start seeing things break down! .
  9. Still wet at 1800’ at my place. .
  10. Marketing’s wet dream..cold in the cities, snow guns blasting, Facebook posts of snow falling and snow covered streets. Maybe even throw in a horse pulling the marketing team around the streets. Everybody in nyc and Boston will book this week. .
  11. Yeah, no joke there. Entire northeast. This has to be one of the better mid/late November snowmaking windows in the last several years. .
  12. You should be able to crush it this week fully staffed and with the temps. Probably well ahead of last year. I think I remember you struggling with the decision to open day before thanksgiving or blowing non-stop as that was the first window at 1500’. Probably 10 nights of temps pre thanksgiving this year. I forget, you go lord/t line after the quad/north slope line? .
  13. Anything left up top from the other night or are you guys starting from bare ground tomorrow night? .
  14. A couple chances next week..that low doesn’t look too far off from a good spot for up here. .
  15. The red scrolling screen with the alert tones like the soviets were attacking was like crack to a kid growing up in the 80s. I saw that and I knew it was about to get real (which meant about 3-6 during those years) .
  16. 88-93 was a terrible stretch in NNJ. The 93 storm seemed like the start of some much better winters.
  17. What, no clown? Happy opening weekend.
  18. a little uplsope following Nicole and a blue bomb late next week...sign me up. Cold looks like it keeps reloading for the next two weeks too.
  19. They are going to do it regardless I think. They might get giant 72 hour windows and good temps every night; plus, the world cup wants this race and trusts them.
  20. Yeah, that's what I meant...this weekend might be good for drunken slip and slide down the slope, but game on next week.
