Ha ha....what did I say about the fish? Guy says whales of snow...exagerating, another guy says HUGE whales of snow here, exagerating, and by the end of the day the story is K is ready to go with 2 lifts and 23 trails. :lol: I only ever believe what I see with my own 2 eyes. The snow they laid down would be heavy as hell as they would have it as wet as possible to maximize production if they are really trying to open and base build.

With your busy schedule in the snow making industry and all, how exactly do you find the time to post all of these wonderful criticism of everyone?

I suppose what you've claimed time and time again was 'simply exaggerated' as well. I'm thinking that we just start responding to your posts with quotes from some of your other posts.

Excuse me little boys. I can't help it if you want to act like jack a$$es toward me just because you can't go skiing and I'm the one who told you so. Keep up the good work.

Holy shite batman.

All right - maybe I'm just dreaming here, but what the hell. Think there might be a chance of late October guns firing up anywhere in the Northeast? I still say the two best chances for early November openings would be Sugarloaf or Mount Snow with both Boyne and Peak Resorts wanting to make a statement. Well, take a look at these two 15 day forecasts:

You're dreaming I'm afraid. The first time the loaf is going to even remotely be able to make snow is Nov 4th, and even then it's going to be tough with all the moisture in the air and ground from the forecasted precipitation leading up to that date. If the forecat keeps having those 19's in it from the 4th on out, they should be good to go after a day or 2 after that coupled with the colder temps leading up to the 19's. If they can get to blowing decent snow on frozen ground by the 6th they should be able to hit the opening date of the 17th with 1 trail or maybe a trail and a half

You didn't tell anyone anything besides that what is happening WOULDN'T happen. Guess what donkeycap. It helps to remember exactly what you posted before spouting off how right you where.

They blew a tiny amount of snow on warm ground. I will now make another profound statement: Let's see how your "base making event" is doing come Friday and lets see if they fire up again before Nov 4. Greg was talking about snowmaking and opening. I was talking about snowmaking and opening. YOU are talking about a system test and promotion. You simply can't stand that my "Nov 17th opening dates aren't looking so hot already" thread that I posted 2 weeks ago is now looking to be much more a thing of reality.

my bad on misquoting gpetrics of k-zone, i must have added HUGE....probably got excited. The pics on K.com were posted there between 9 and 10, and reports said guns shut off at around 1:00. So maybe thats why there aren't whales in the pictures.

 

[andyzee]

gpetrics is one hell of a standup guy and great skier, if he says there are whales, I believe him. He don't bs.

 

[danny p]

no doubts here, anxiously awaiting his pics!!

No, i dont think that's it. I know there wont be lift serviced skiing this week and most likely not next either. I'm just amused with your ability to argue the absurd. Whales, huge whales, humpback whales, hartford whalers, what does it matter? The guy got some turns in and that means the season is closer to us. Thats a good thing.

The River or The Loaf. Attitash would blow my mind.

My 'base making event'? Who's? We're excited. I can perfectly well stand your statement about the 17th not looking so hot. Can you stand that a few people are enjoying talking about the possibility of something? We're not saying you might not be right. We understand it's not like they blew down 24" on a trail in a day. Will they continue? They're saying they will. If they don't, then we'll gladly be sharing a beer saying what kinda shmucks they where for trying to pull something over on their customers as a marketting ploy.

Now, this out of the way. We understand you believe it's a crock o shite. Can we please not have your opinion and your view of the world shoved down our throat every time we say something like some kind of gay porn film?

The River or The Loaf. Attitash would blow my mind.

Attitash is not really that mind blowing if you understand their shift in technology. In the past, the River vs. the Loaf vs. Attitash battle would easily go to the River or the Loaf due to temp advantages at the Loaf and a shorter trails to cover to get open at both The River and The Loaf. The technology Attitash invested in is the same technology south eastern resorts use to make HUGE amounts of snow in a short amount of time when they get at best marginal temps. Low E guns just don't perform at all in the temps we typically get around here early season, and the fact the amount of snow they made at Attitash in warmer temps and less time made the amount of snow made at The Loaf look laughable further drives home this fact. Ultimately, Attitash might not win due to the amount of terrain they have to cover to get open, however, when they do open they will most likely have the most open terrain with the best conditions.

I can understand that, if you can understand that the statements I make are not crafted by a team of lawyers at the white house using wording and asterixes like they're going out of style. In essence, my main predictions are panning out exactly as I said they would 2 weeks ago. I went out on a limb using what I know to make some very forward looking statements about events 2 weeks to a month away. After going out on that limb, you can surely understand why I would not be impressed by literal Monday morning quarterbacks touting what I'm quite sure is a test fire or a lost cause as proof that I don't have a clue.

Fine, we don't have a clue. You're the one conversing with us, so either your desperately trying to educate the newbs, or your down here in the gutters of humanity with the rest of us.

On the other note, we get it, it's not big deal to you. And even if they DID make some sort of significant base this week, it was only a week earlier then your oracle like magical powers projected. From what I've been reading, the ones who are being paid to do the job, (which by some miracle of circumstances, you aren't currently, to my knowledge) are saying they're planning on running the guns 'whenever possible'. Yes, we know, they're just pissing money in the wind, after all, you've enlightened the gutterfolk over the last month, we're truly blessed. But we still choose to believe that perhaps the folks on Mt Zion such as yourself might perhaps believe that they are actually starting to make snow to actually ski on. You have to understand, we're receiving mixed messages from the heavens, almost like, the good angels vs the evil devils. Thank you for being the good angel, we're SO sorry we're being seduced by those evil, VILE ski areas.

Something in this occured to me after rereading..

Do you honestly believe that everyone who posts here does so to try to impress people with their mad alpine skillz? Go find a new place to live, you elitest prick.

No, but I missed your post of precise predictions on Events leading up to Nov 17th. What were they exactly? Oh yeah, you didn't have any. Put up or shut up time was 2 weeks ago son.

I'm not such an idiot that I will try to force my will in predicting the weather. As far as precision, the 'earliest possible day' was next week according to you. Going from 'OMG, I'm so right' to 'Ok, I was on track, but it was the weathers fault, not mine!' to 'Well, at least I tried to be a friggen oracle'...

The weather will decide what happens. Period. You haven't, nor will you ever, predict a damned thing, except perhaps if I want fries with my burger.

I repeat, I was talking about ongoing snowmaking AT THE LOAF, AND THE LOAF ONLY, to make a base to open with. Not a test that made some icey slurry spun for all it's worth. You can do a test in the middle of August if you so desire. It's cold enough to be making actual snow there right now. Are the guns on? No. Because the ground is wet, the forecast sucks, and production cost would be ridiculous. In the end, the weather.com forecast I used to make some predictions with 2 weeks ago was actually very accurate. The earliest day possible for actual production snowmaking is STILL looking like next week, at best.

Do you want a medal or something 'son'? Are you better than everyone because you made predictions 2 weeks ago for weather leading up to the 17th?

What exactly are you trying to prove anyways? Trust me, from pretty much your first post on this forum, you proved your arrogance right away. You can give up on that any time now.
