cjt121099So who wants to drive 8 hours to vermont over break.
SkierFromOhioI have faith we will get some skiing over break
cjt121099I said that last year lol.
SkierFromOhioI skied over break last year
cjt121099They were open for 4 days on break when other resorts were open a month before. Bmbw is never the first to open so idk why you think break is possible when nobody will open until after christmas.
RparrFuck it, I'm driving to killington when my finals are done. I guess that's the only way
SkierFromOhioPknPk opens the 19th. Might make a trip up there.
RparrThat's pretty bold of them to set an opening date with such questionable weather coming up.
BorchmoreLOLBMBW. I live 20 minutes from year round skiing (indoor hill) and am coming home over break to this shit. Do you think I'll be able to even get a day in before the 9th of January?

Rparrwell last season they opened on new years day, and this year the weather is looking even worse. Don't be surprised if you don't. I'm in the same boat, about to come home for break for 3-4 weeks.

e~bexpect the worse and hope for the best. but i gotta say, there's minimal hope
BorchmoreYeah, looking at the temps right now, it doesn't look good. Damn, I was dead bent on going skiing over break
:^)
SkierFromOhioWeather shows they can start making snow at night on the 18th . Making snow at night is their only option. How long is your break?
BorchmoreI'm here until January 9th, so I still have a decent bit of time. Apparently Snow Trails and Peek n Peak are still trying to open on the 19th, so I'll try to make some trips there. I just hope I can go skiing somewhere tbh ;__;
acrislip320Temps are still looking awful for a while. i work snow making at Snow Trails, looks like were going to be able to make snow friday and saturday night, hopefully thursday night but probably not. Im working on getting a couple mobile guns into one spot so we can build a little bit of a set up. also we dont plan on opening saturday its just the kickoff party, as it cant be rescheduled because of band booking.
acrislip320we will try to set up as much as we can but were talking 10 total hours of snowmaking if were lucky, which isnt much, but if we can pull this off im hoping 5 rails
The.FishI don't know why you guys would start now. It will just melt next week and you will lose all of that money. I understand that you arent bmbw and you actually care about your customers, but you don't want any extra debit with this awful winter coming up.
SkierFromOhioTo make money you must spend money
The.FishYes but if all the snow melts then you would be essentially throwing money away since there is no reward. If I spend money by throwing it away, I make no money in return.
The.Fishpknpk called off opening day
acrislip320also we dont plan on opening saturday its just the kickoff party, as it cant be rescheduled because of band booking.
The.Fishcold snap coming in after christmas thank goodness.
SkierFromOhioWhy did you make a thread saying BMBW has a decent chance of not opening? The cold will come eventually
acrislip320im sure at this point most of you will be ok with it
acrislip320so keep in mind this is not set in stone, i will know for sure tomorrow, we are going to make snow this weekend, probably looking at almost 10 hours of snowmaking friday night, i going to have 4 mobile guns and 3 tower guns making snow on half of our beginner to try to get a little bit of a base for saturday. will only be hiking but im sure at this point most of you will be ok with it
the plan is to have 3 "pads";
25' low box and 30' 14 inch round rail as flats for the first pad,
then 20' 4 inch down rail next to 20' donkey dick,
then new telephone pole rail as flat next to new/recycled elbow rail.
and brewski is right, sometime you gotta risk it for the biscuit
The.FishThis will be saturday and not sunday correct.
acrislip320So its confirmed, were going to shred saturday and sunday, tickets are free but you have to get one to ride (insurance purposes). 6 features, maybe a litlle jump, we will have to see about that tho. hope to see everyone out! holler!
The.FishAll I hope is that I don't hurt myself on day 1. I havent slid a rail in so long and I kinda forget the feeling since I only hit a couple last season. So if you see me with my bright yellow and orange volkl skis slipping out then u know its me lol.
Rparrhaha I wouldn't worry about it, probably gonna be tiny rails for opening day. I'll be on some halo 2's being way too reckless for day 1
