13574517:SkierFromOhio said:I have faith we will get some skiing over break
13574522:cjt121099 said:I said that last year lol.
13574528:SkierFromOhio said:I skied over break last year
13574563:cjt121099 said:They 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.
13575061:Rparr said:Fuck it, I'm driving to killington when my finals are done. I guess that's the only way
13575111:SkierFromOhio said:PknPk opens the 19th. Might make a trip up there.
13575131:Rparr said:That's pretty bold of them to set an opening date with such questionable weather coming up.
13576232:Borchmore said:LOLBMBW. 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?

13576376:Rparr said:well 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.

13576587:e~b said:expect the worse and hope for the best. but i gotta say, there's minimal hope
13578554:Borchmore said:Yeah, looking at the temps right now, it doesn't look good. Damn, I was dead bent on going skiing over break
:^)
13578913:SkierFromOhio said:Weather shows they can start making snow at night on the 18th . Making snow at night is their only option. How long is your break?
13578925:Borchmore said:I'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 ;__;
13580502:acrislip320 said:Temps 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.
13580856:acrislip320 said:we 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
13580870:The.Fish said:I 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.
13581408:SkierFromOhio said:To make money you must spend money
13581545:The.Fish said:Yes 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.
13580236:The.Fish said:pknpk called off opening day
13580502:acrislip320 said:also we dont plan on opening saturday its just the kickoff party, as it cant be rescheduled because of band booking.
13581639:The.Fish said:cold snap coming in after christmas thank goodness.
13581868:SkierFromOhio said:Why did you make a thread saying BMBW has a decent chance of not opening? The cold will come eventually
13581933:acrislip320 said:im sure at this point most of you will be ok with it
13581933:acrislip320 said:so 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
13582539:The.Fish said:This will be saturday and not sunday correct.
13582637:acrislip320 said:So 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!
13583385:The.Fish said:All 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.
13583688:Rparr said:haha 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
