How many days do you expect to ski in December 2008?

[bvibert]

I figured you'd come in here with a snarky "32" or something... :roll:

I was thinking about it, 32 exactly actually, but I figured that was getting kinda old so I refrained...

 

[Rob A]

Really depends, could be 15+ if MC opens soon, less if they hold off and I'm just making weekend trips elsewhere.

I figure 8 - 10, 2 or 3 of those will probably be skiing with my son on the easy trail at Hidden Valley though.

Is HV opening soon do you know? I'd go if they open this weekend, assuming they have a few open off the top.

3+

I stopped by there today and asked and they said they were still deciding weather or not to open on Saturday, but if they do it will only be Chicken Delight. That's fine for skiing with my 5 year old son which is what I'll do if they are open on Saturday. It looked like they blew enough snow during the cold spell to open Chicken this weekend, and it should be snowmaking temps tonight and tomorrow night. Definately not enough snow there now for a summit to base trail, but if they open this weekend I'll be there Thursday and Friday too.

Mountain Creek's site says they'll open 12/13 and Mt. Peter plans to open 12/12. It looks like snowmaking temps in this area for at least the next ten nights with the exception of Tuesday.

Where'd 11 come from?

Hatin' on feeder hills is lame.

Hatin in general is pretty lame.

Hello, pot? This is kettle. You're black.

Random number... I think?

Actually Greg said 10 so I had to be one better...

You guys should head to Camelback. They had about 5 ways down from the top last weekend including Marjies, Rocket and King Tut. Marjies was in excellent shape. They were only charging $35 last weekend.

Too long of a drive to ski with my son on an easy trail. He wants to ski with me and not be in some day care program.

 

[Geoff]

I should get at least 20 in December. If it snows at Whistler in the next couple of weeks, it might be more like 25.

That's a shame, surprising they don't try to open a few runs off the top, chicken delight isn't even worth opening for I would think.

It seems MC keeps changing their opening date. Moving from 12/6, to 12/13, to now 12/8. I'll have to look for a good deal this weekend, maybe Shawnee or Plattekill with the $20 lift tickets on lift topia.

 

[ERJ-145CA]

They always open Chicken first, I guess they figure it will get the families to come out who have the small kids waiting to ski. If we didn't have this past week of warm temps they would have definitely had a top to bottom run, there is snow all the way to the summit, just not enough.

MC's site says the park (South) is opening on the 8th but the rest is opening on the 13th, from what I saw driving past today South looks like it has almost enough snow on one trail but that's about it.

Yeah that's expected, MC usually opens to start the season with one run down South, they've been doing that for as long as I can remember. "The rest" will probably just be a snooze like Horizon on the vernon side anyway. If they opened on the 13th with Vernon and South, I would go to South anyway because the terrain on Vernon early in the year is usually horrible. A shame they don't get Granite going, but atleast South will be going Monday.

Dec. 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29 (Mike Gordan YAYA), 30, 31

[2knees]

would like 10 but i'm sure it'll be closer to 5. or 4. maybe even 3.

 

[mattchuck2]

11 . . . Weekends + AZ Hunter + Xmas + Day after Xmas

[Terry]

Looks like with the available time I have, I will [probably ski 10 days this month.
