Boreal update

Good morning all,

Temps were inverted again last night so no snowmaking took place. As a result of this weekends skier/rider traffic and combined warm temps overnight NO GROOMING TOOK PLACE. The snow is getting thin and grooming would have risked turning up dirt.

Here's a link to the Sierra Snow Lab which is located between Boreal and Soda Springs. You can get an idea of how inverted the nighttime temps have been with this high pressure weather we are in.

The NOAA forecast for us still looks really good starting Tuesday night through the week for snowmaking to return.

It snowed some last night (about 2") and we were able to blow snow from about 3am until 9:30 or so. The park is looking fresh once again.

Hopefully we will get some goods temps tonight to keep blowing snow.

Claimjumper is opening tomorrow. Nights starting tomorrow.
All of my snow dancing is starting to pay off.

oh that.....saw a kid do a backie of of it today!!!

look for a totally new line of features that start off of the Claimjumper chair for tomorrow.
Claimjumper is turning into the "park chair" for now until we get going to the top. hopefully by mon/tue we will have the run below the superpipe open and have moved all the sizable features over there leaving the run we've been using now as the "kidz x" park..small jumps and ride-ons. We will do whatever it takes to get one or both staircases set up next week on the new trail.

goodnight interwebers..5am is gonna come fast......

For Sunday, will there be any new features on the 'park' lift? I was content with the S box and the other stuff on wed/thurs, but it looked like they were moving jibs up the hill.

big descion for tonight...pull the house box and place one of the staircases or build a small jump. Aside from that all of the features are the same just in differnet spots. The big change will be mon/tues or there abouts when we move all of the sizable park features to the run below superpipe and turn teh exsisting run into the ride-on kiddie park. Snowmaking temps look good through the forecast so things should move along fast next week.

check it, one jump... 9,000,000,000 kids wanting to hit it... each kid is max 2.5 ft. wide correct? meaning 36.000.000.00 ( plus or minus a few 0's ) feet of kids needs to fit into a space thats 9 feet wide....then if one .75 foot kid with ski tips tied together falls on the landing and takes more than 6.444 seconds to get up one of the 36,000,000,00 snowloerboarders from the STAR will throw a punhc into the blur of people causing a domino effect that will throw off the rotation of the earth causing the poles to flip wich means.. compasses will be fucked.. having said that.. i think the BOX would be a better idear.
