Absolutely no snow

foot and a half in the past day, up to 2 feet over the next 24 hours. but i do hope you east coast people get snow. It is torture to not get it.
 
i am warmer outside than inside. i had to take off my sweatshirt on my way into school i was so toasty. nothing but rain for the next 4 days its been forecasted
 
yeah, fuck this shit. it's january and i believe it's 60 outside right now, i was outside in a t-shirt when i left school today. this pisses me off so much, i need snow. hopefully at the end of next week we'll get some snow, forecast for boston area says that we'll get 'snow/mix' on tuesday, bu i bet that'll just be rain...
 
Madison hit a record high for January 5 today, i'm starting to believe all this global warming stuff people are talking about.
 
exactly - its january and we cant ski - this sucks! you can skate indoors, you cant ski indoors...
 
yeah we all know that there is no snow on the east coast but just get over it....its not gunna snow...people sit here and make threads on how there is no snow. there is a new one every day....just get over the fact that the east coast has no snow and your mountian is closed...and no its not global warming..i had a long descussion with my science teacher and she said that its just fucked up weather and that glodal warming is when the temp increases gradually like every 10 years so say the average temp was 30 this year then in 10 years from now the average would be 32...sounds legit...so no i believe that this is not global warming and it will be winter again soon. i dont know how i got into global warming but my point is there doesnt have to be a new thread on how much the east coast blows...we all know it already so stop crying.
 
we have hardly any snow in tremblant, but on top of thde mountain weve got a good amount... i just dont no what the rain did to the snow up top today!!! i hope it snowed up there!!!
 
idk it's kinda understandable... considering we are talking on a ski website... with a bunch of ski addicts... that can't ski if there is no snow... so they have nothing else to talk about... except gay marriage, beastiality and the lack of snow.

 
Dunno, its snowing really really hard for the last 2 days here in B.C what are you guys complaining about.

JK i feel for you guys.
 
oh fuck this man, east coast is lookin SICK right now...we just got our park finished up and check tha steeze niggas

Seven Springs, beset by balmy temperatures, trucks 6 million pounds of the white stuff to slopes

Friday, January 05, 2007

By Lawrence Walsh, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

It didn't fall from the sky and it couldn't be made because the weather was too warm, so the more than 6 million pounds of snow piled atop the slopes at Seven Springs today arrived by truck.

A high lift loads one of three trucks that spent Wednesday morning relocating snow at Seven Springs.

The tri-axle dump trucks -- the type normally used to haul coal -- started carrying snow about 8 a.m. Wednesday from the base of the Alpine slope to the top of the slopes, and continued until midnight.

They resumed about 8 yesterday morning and were expected to work until 6 p.m. They used the North Parking Lot and Airport Road to reach the top of the slopes.

Snow grooming machines pushed the snow over the headwalls -- the steep top sections of the mountain -- to improve conditions on the Wagner and Stowe slopes. The machines also spread snow on Fawn Lane, Phillip's Run and the snowtubing lanes.

"We are doing all that we can to show our skiers, snowboarders, snowtubers and guests that in this first year of ownership we are absolutely committed to providing the best possible conditions," said Seven Springs President Robert Nutting. The Nutting family purchased the resort July 1.

The headwalls receive the greatest wear and tear as skiers and snowboarders angle the metal edges of their skis and boards to control their speed as they descend the slopes.

Resort spokesman Robert Duppstadt said the decision to rent trucks and a front loader to move the snow to where it was needed was a "viable solution" to a diminishing snow base on terrain that has been in use daily since the slopes opened Dec. 8. Most of the snow was made Dec. 3-6.

"It will allow us to continue to offer skiing while we wait for snowmaking opportunities," Mr. Duppstadt said.

He said the decision to spend "significant dollars" -- more than $10,000 -- to improve slope conditions demonstrates the resort's determination to provide the best possible on-snow experience for its more than 11,000 season pass holders and skiers, snowboarders and snowtubers throughout the region.

Seven Springs is the only resort in southwestern Pennsylvania that is open for skiing, snowboarding and snowtubing. The unseasonably warm weather during the past month forced Blue Knob, Hidden Valley and Mystic Mountain at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort & Spa to close their slopes until colder weather arrives.

Seven Springs has nine slopes and trails and two terrain parks open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Three chairlifts and two surface lifts are operating. Discounted lift tickets for adults and children are $28 and $25, respectively.
