Greg,
Looks like I can get started on Tom's Thursday. If Things go well we will seed Nor'Easter, early next week.
Chris

I am beside myself with joy!!

:spread: :daffy: :spread:

I will be there on Wednesday, 12/12. However, if it looks like the bumps won't be ready in time, I'm willing to push it up to Thursday. Great warm-up for Hunter 12/14!

Who's with me?

:lol: You guys are addicted!

I drove by today. Looking good! Light coverage, but they're doing a great job on most of the trails. Some snow mounded up on Exhibition, too (for spreading later, I imagine).

Ill be there with the rest of you bumpaholics!!!!!

Nice, Steve. Break out the 'Brawlers! ;)

Forecast looks good for snowmaking the next four nights. Then again Monday and Tuesday nights. Plenty of time to open Tom's and then seed and top coat Nor'easter.

Please, oh please. Hard to believe that in exactly one week we might be finishing up the first of hopefully many Sundown night bump sessions. That would rule it! :cool:

I just hope the weather forecast I watched this morning doesn't come to fruition for Wed... mixed precip that night, looking like more wet than snow. :(

That's what Gore-Tex is for!

Unfortunately, Chris doesn't think he'll have Tom's covered by next Wednesday which = no Nor'easter bumps. :( However, he would like to get Exhibition seeded with bumps for this weekend.

Regardlesss, I'm there Sunday night and on 12/12.

I know. A kick in the balls, huh?

I'm really anxious to see the snow depths over there. If they've only made snow on Canyon Run, Nor'easter, Ex, Stinger, Temptor and Little Joe, the bases must be deep. I've seen them adequately cover all that in only 60 hours of snowmaking. They must have been able to make snow every night this week. Unless of course, that water issue is a bigger issue than we think. Then again, they made a lot of progress in one night. This was last weekend:

I would be willing to move this to Thursday night if Nor'easter will be seeded by then, but a Thursday night bump session might be a bit rough right before Hunter 12/14. :-o

i would've been beside myself with joy but in all seriousness, even having exhibition is far better then what we would've seen out of any local area in any other year. Good job by sundown and i'll keep giving them my money.

When I talked to Chris last week he said that the water was still an issue, but that the situation had gotten better with the rain we've gotten recently..
