The guns are on at North.

Thought you'd want to know.

Strat · Nov 8, 2005

Figured it'd be a good night to clean out the mice... too bad they can't hold a base... it's coming... slowly, it's coming...

thetrailboss · Nov 8, 2005

SWWWWWEEEETTTT!!!! Just blowing out the mice or getting ready for the season?

Strat · Nov 8, 2005

Definitely just the mice.

Lostone · Nov 8, 2005

I don't think so...

I was looking up at the peak today. (South) There was more snow up there than yesterday. That means the peak is staying cold.

I was wondering if they would be trying to get things going over at North.

They're still hoping for opening weekend after next.

No matter what... Not long now. :beer:

Strat · Nov 8, 2005

Not to be a pessimist but weekend after next doesn't look likely... temps in the 50's next week... yeah, it's colder up there, but 50's in the valley is still 40's up top... we can only wait and hope...

We need a "fingers crossed" emoticon...

Lostone · Nov 8, 2005

I'm not saying it is happening, but that is still the plan.

As far as the forecasts go, they said it rained every day last week. But we had a little rain on two days.

You want me to believe them when they say they know what is up next week? Let them get tomorrow right. Then let them do that for 3 days in a row and we can talk about a two day forecast. :roll: :lol:

Is the glass half empty? :-?

Is the glass half full? :-?

There is certainly too much glass. :wink:

Thursday night treat

You might have something even bigger to photograph on Friday morning, Spook. Possible 6+ of snow overnight Thursday. But yes, warming up toward 50 Sunday. Those days will be less and less, so take heart!

yippee!.. in that case, I won't be taking any pics from Number Nine Hill Rd, since it probably won't be plowed that early in the morning (its a STEEP road), but I'll have some from the Mt Ellen base instead

Ohhh that's nice to see... new website goes up tomorrow too... it's coming!!

Instead of #9, I would think a picture from Bragg Hill Road would be better anyway- at the top on the flats. You are looking straight onto Mt. Ellen with morning sun shining on it from there. Plus it's a schoolbus route therefore maintained well! (Fayston's own highway!)

#9 is not a problem if you hit it right. When driving up Rt 17 about 1/4 mile before you speed up to about 60mph and your momentum carries you up that first steep section of #9.

I can see that working!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm coming from German Flats though so to do that its a bit backwards, but then again, so isn't going up #9 when i'm headed to burlington

hehe.. oh well!

djspookman · Nov 9, 2005

weather update: its 6:40 pm, and its trying to snow here.... mixed snow/rain. They're forecasting for an inch or so by morning.

Strat · Nov 9, 2005

8) :beer: :wink:

djspookman · Nov 9, 2005

my little bird says they're opening before the 19th.. we'll just have to wait and see I guess!

dave

Treeskier · Nov 9, 2005

It's a double edge sward

Hat's off to the MT for blowing snow as soon as it's been cold enough in Nov.

I can only hope now that Mother Nature is calm enough for it to stay.

With all of the construction I give them a pass for not running a lift last storm :blink: .

Thanks MT Lady and other for keeping us in the news.

MOTHER NATURE....PLEASE JUST STAY COLD AND SNOW!

Ski Yah!

Strat · Nov 10, 2005

So, it's thursday and no new website... mtnlady, any word on this?

djspookman · Nov 10, 2005
