Ain't gonna happen. Here's the Bunny Buster forecast:

Some forecasts are calling for serious cold starting on November 2.

Riiiight.

 

[Puck it]

Looks Like 11/7 will be the earliest they could open. Cold weather is suppose to set in on 11/2 and continue going down from there.

I have the 20th off already. Might bump it up to the 13th.

Calling Geoff:

So what is it going to take to get open for the 2009-10 season? About 48-72 hours of sub 28 degree temperatures down to the base of K-1.

:razz:

Given how every remark of his is dissected, both here and at kzone, a little caution on Tom's part is understandable. If the upper mountain holds, and if they pushed all the air into lower GN, Chute and BB, 24 hours ought to do it, and another 12 hours to let it setup, clean up, and groom it out. It's all in lowering expectations, then go back out and beat the street.

Let's all hope for some cold temps!

What forecasting service are you using?

I obviously don't know what he looked at but Accuweather did a major flip. Lots of people criticise Accuweather, but they called the mid-October cold snap early (I know, mostly GFS). Anyway, even the elevation NWS forecast doens't look good for making November 1:

No serious cold until Sunday night.

They all say the same thing. I'm still hoping, but I don't see a 24+ hr window out there to blow.
