How much is going to be open at springs?

If you gotta go close, I'd say Liberty but that's not that great. Stay away from Roundtop tho, They hype parks but they don't produce. Springs would be my bet or wisp and hit Boulder when possible.

Temps and humidity go hand an hand. the lower the temp the higher the humidity can be to make lots. but the higher the temp the lower the humidity. not sure about the exact numbers but 28+ temps need pretty low humidity to blow effectively. plus that is the low so how long it takes to get to the...

Nighttime temps in mid 20s is not that great for snowmaking especially if the humidity is high.

Well said PS. Factor in the most mid-Atlantic ski areas don't have the greatest management and that makes this area a tough place to do business.

? BJ how much do you pay per year to ride liberty?

Matt, now you know how i feel!!! it suck when you really want to do some cool stuff and mgmt throws up stupid obstacles.

Oh, I've emailed (politely) mgmt, written letters, organized riders meetings, given whole summers of free work, etc, etc in my 25 years of season passes at RT. they just don't get it. it sounds like WT is more enlightenment the RT so you're lucky there. The thing about the blasting parks is...

I'm calling bullshit. They can do so much more but they don't. at RT they have to rush to get '100 percent open' which means the pipe is 'open' with 4 foot walls. the parks are 'open' but with small jumps. if mgmt was committed they would allow the crews more time to make more snow, groom...

I haven't been out in a while but do you still have the pipe with the bend in it?

so in conclusion before you go hating and spouting off about things you dont know.. Oh yeah?? Piss off. I've been PAYING to ride Roundtop for 20 years and for much of that time i had been working with the mt to get things done. I helped build one of the first parks in the area (the original...

The thing is that ravel is all well and good. my issue is that if you have to stay at your local mountain and they aren't stepping up, don't accept the status quo! If you pay money to ride at a mountain you have the right to complain if you aren't satisfied. that's just business. it so typical...

Matt, I think you should state that you work for Roundtop so you have a biased opinion. Roundtop (and to some extent Liberty) have a terrible track record of supporting pipe and park. I've been going to both since 1988 and it's always been a struggle (with the exception of a few years) to get...

Liberty and Roundtop blow. If you spend money there you are a chump.

Liberty, Whitetail and Roundtop are definitely not worth the money they charge.
