Mount Snow Snowmaking

hurry hurry, blow blow blow, i absolutely must ski this weekend. not skiing this weekend is just not an option for me...
 
any chance they'll be open this weekend?
couple of my friends want to make the 3 1/2 drive to sunday river then but fuck that.
my threads
 
"Mount Snow will not be opening this weekend, but check back in for more updates later in the week."

FUCK
 
It's all about whether they want to go through the craziness of making a shitload of snow in a short time. They are limited by the amount of water they can pump at a certain time and by the number of guns they have, not to mention this fucking stupid shitty weather. So if they want to put a ton of man power and money into blowing the bottom trails in the middle of the night three nights in a row, one of which being fri night (meaning all that shit has to get groomed after being blown before opening) then they will open with features and it will be most radtacular. If they don't feel as though all that effort will get them a good dollar return, they simply won't do it.

However, I think that if they put in the effort and announced an opening on thur or even fri, a shitload of people would come and they would make some bank. If not, we're all just going to go up to Killy and give them our money again...
 
uhhhh its like 65 degrees out today... i dont know much about making snow but im pretty sure its a little too warm
 
you better pick me up>...or dbrown besta get his ass in gear and drive up there..i need ski now
 
I'm pretty certain it's just not going to happen this weekend at Snow...hopefully killy holds it down, but who knows...
 
The tentative opening day is the 21st. But it all depends on the weather. Capurnicus made a few good points, where we do have semi-limited water, and it costs a bunch of money to run the guns.

Our opening weekend back in mid October worked out because it was really really cold that week, and we were only blowing 9 guns on Launch Pad. Our next plan is Nitro, Long John, and a few other sizable trails.

We blew snow like crazy in the upper sections of the mountain last week, and after two nights gave up because the weather shifted and totally screwed us. We're super antsy here at Mount Snow too, we want to open and make all of our skiers and riders happy. I'll try to stay on top of these forums, so that you guys aren't playing a constant guessing game.

 
We know that you're trying and it's not your fault :) It's mother nature's fault. She's kinda being a major bitch lately...
 
My b; I LOVE YOU MOTHER NATURE! I'LL BAKE YOU A CAKE IF YOU DROP THE TEMPS A TAD! and i'll do a lot more than that if she gives us some fresh feet of pow numnumnumnum
 
judging by night time temps mt snow should be able to make snow every night throughout the week starting monday....i hope its possible for them to make a shit ton of snow for the weekend
