Approved.

This is great.

Wild storms out west. Solitude, Utah
-
I know someone that works there… wild snow and water totals. 2.42” QPF frozen in 12 hours, sheesh on the avalanche board.
-
No it was cold at all elevations but has started to go inverted this morning. Pretty wild profile right now, they are losing it at this moment. Wet bulbs are punching upper 20s now. It was low to mid 20s most of the night. Quad top... 36F wet bulb of 26F (only 15% RH, very dry aloft above the inversion). Mid-Mtn... 32F with wet bulb of 28F. Base... 34F with wet bulb of 29F.

Snowmaking crew was training testing last night and went big. Good stress test I guess and training for new staff ahead of the big push? Had to be 75+ guns top to bottom. Still running now.
-
Congrats on getting there, you worked hard for it. Long, long growing season. Widespread 20s… ORH tried.
-
21F. Looks like ORH is 33F… can they do it and get to freezing?!
-
27/21 at just after 9pm and heat cranking. Crazy just like 48 hours ago it was in the 70s. Gotta love New England temp swings.

Ha, I feel like there’d be just as many folks wishing they wouldn’t open these days. Parking lots would be packed regardless. Hundreds of uphillers enjoying carte blanche. This would totally be Mansfield, folks praying it remains closed to skin. Huge lines of skinning traffic and headlamps heading up every morning.
-
This isn’t necessarily geared towards you in particular, but that line of thought has to be one of the more classic weather weenie plays to run … “this one is gonna be real exciting… the models don’t know it yet, but it will be. Trust me.”
-
She cold upstairs. Picnic tables sitting low-20s. Well mixed in mid-30s down low, about 15F over 3000ft.
-
It’s wild, great scene. 37F at 5pm. Chilly. Probably just normal, ha.
-
I agree. To open Friday for here I think snowmaking needs to be done by Wednesday, to allow to drain/cure and then time for pushing it all out. Also punts any cold late in the week to another set of runs… honestly I’d just run gangbusters all week long to take advantage of it and not worry about turning it off to get a decent product quality and spending a couple days pushing when it’s cold. Who knows. It looks like a good cold shot, I’d max it out.
-
Yeah they face they aren’t blowing on North Ridge shows the situation at hand.
-
Radiational cooling happens all the time all year long.
-
Yeah the SLK 1,600ft rad pit lol. Anything 1,000ft that radiates too is probably ideal to be honest if we want to go down the “best” rabbit hole. Pete/SkiMRG always had a great spot for that… like 1300ft but in a hollow.
-
I’d take the elevation AND the radiational cooling. You can have both, doesn’t have to be one or the other. Though this discussion inevitably turns into a competition for some reason lol. In the summer you do get the cooler days that you love to post about up there on the hilltop. We know you enjoy hitting 84.6F while posting about 90+.
-
I dunno, most posters seemed to have mentioned frost it seems. Even ineedsnow right next to ORH at 1000ft has been in the 20s I think? Regardless of real vs fake cold, there seem to be a lot who have frosted I guess was my point. Sure there are areas that haven’t. We should do a poll on here .
-
I still can’t believe you haven’t come close to sniffing 32F yet. Most have had at least a frost by now though.
-
BDR, PWM, BTV… where else so far?
-
What’s the all-time November record down there?
-
Ha right. Sometimes you just need to know when to hold ‘em and fold ‘em.
-
Some can’t seem to stick to discussing weather… that’s been the age old reason for getting booted. Some topics are better left to other mediums/forums/social media spaces, ha.

Cold front came through last night. Only 64F here today.
