Late October Snowmaking?

[BushMogulMaster]

It's up in the air. We were originally going to fly into Gunnison and ski at the Butte and around there, but we couldn't get 2 seats into Gunnison (really small plane). Got tickets for Denver, gonna maybe do something around there for a day or 2, then maybe do the Butte or something else for 3 or 4 days and come back and do 1 more day near Denver on the day before leaving. Probably just hit up whoever has the best product available. If anyone else is heading out. rental cars are dirt cheap on Expedia for that week right now. Just booked a full size for under $150 all in.

I'll keep you apprised of the conditions, if you'd like. I'll be out 5-6 days a week (both working and skiing).

Wrong forum, dude...

I'll hit you up for intel at the end of Nov. In the meantime, could you please explain the first 10 pages of this (when we were talking about the actual subject at hand) to Highwaystar. I don't have the patience to post (for the 30th time in 2 months) that snow gets made exponentially faster at an RH weighted 15 vs. 25F. Sigh.

Oh dear, now Highwaystar is confusing snowmaking with skiing ability? As long as there are some gates, he's sunk. If we're talking bumps, I'm sunk. My knees quit being able to run bumps at 30 mph 10 years ago.

A good nights work for me here ..

Indeed. This thread has it all, including Highway Star's first official ski-off challenge on AZ. Wow. We need snow. :roll:

I'm an ex-racer, chump.

You also have no concept of a ski off....please visit K-zone for more details.

Regardless, you still haven't posted jack squat to back up your assertions about what it takes to open a ski area early.

Has a "ski-off" ever really even happened?
