If they are trying to make it for keeps, and they blow at every marginal opportunity from here on out, well then, I was wrong, and they are nuts.

No...you'll just be wrong. Can you please now stop sucking the life out of every one of these threads...? :roll:

I would imagine it's going to be cold enough tonight for everyone to test their systems and make something that looks white. In the north, they should be able to make enough for a skis on photo op.. Almost every hill big mountain does a test every year. If they discover they have a problem tonight, they then have atleast a week to fix it.


You're probably totally right. Keep me updated when your agent calls you because Boyne needs your help in fixing their snowmaking program.

It just doesn't make any sense.


No snowman. As almost always, it is you who isn't making any sense.



Okay, Okay, I get it. This is all one big gimic, isn't snowman? You've been playing us all along. I finally get it. What we're reading isn't really you, it's just a big joke. You've just been messing with us for the last month, but truth is, you're really not this crazy.

Good one man! That is pretty darn funny.

Well, Killington is base building. That I do know. They haven't done a "blowing out the mice" photo opp in a few years. I'm sure all the snowmaking we'll see tomorrow is real.

I honestly hope it is. It would be the gimic of the century. If it were true, I'd seriously laugh for DAYS. If it's not, then nothing you can do, but sit back and enjoy. The alternative is actually extremely hilarious as well.

Although its kind of far from the loaf, the mt. washington auto road temps had freeing at about 2500 ft @ 5pm.

I use the auto road temperature profile as a good guide for freezing level in Northern Vermont..so I know if the powder gets manky..lol but I have 50 posts to go before I catch up...I wonder if Frosty is a factor...lol..The blue screen is making me dizzy..

Well, they're not blowing it for keeps. This is a test. The ground is so warm there is going to be steam rising off of it. Snowmaking for keeps isn't going to start for another week or so. If they are trying to make it for keeps, and they blow at every marginal opportunity from here on out, well then, I was wrong, and they are nuts.

I think they'll have alot of snow from the 30-36 hours plus of solid blowing to last through a few cool but above freezing days and a little rain...a monsoon and 67 degrees is one thing but the forecast for the loaf looks pretty cool...You'll get owned again..you always get owned..:blink:

It seems like something one of the Teton Gravity maggots thought up...they sometimes make up aliases..but I don't know. I wonder if the Avatar picture is real??? I used to feel bad that I was sometimes an internet annoyance due to being a post whore but Snowman is 9 levels worse..out of 10 levels..lol

Oh look, dumb and dumber are trying to lock the thread again. Dead head, take a clue from your own screen name, there's nothing going on upstairs. Steeze, your name is pretty self expanatory as well. I call them as I see them.

Snowman you should check out a topic where you have some expertise..like the Thin Crust vs Thick Crust debate. I thought up the name Grilled Steeze Sandwich when I was night skiing last season. I think it's a great name. I didn't even know about the term steeze until 2 years ago..due to Papasteeze on PASR. Then I started saying mad steezy yo. But sometimes I grill up some steeze on the hill. Kind of like shredding the gnar. If you're grilling up steeze, you might as well have it on a sandwich. When I go skiing, after booting up..I make sure I have everything...Helmet..goggles..wallet..keys..skeeze..steeze..and cheese..it's important...

Snowman you really should learn about Smartstyle..it's important. Snowman calling me and Deadhead dumb and dumber is like calling Michael J Fox and Jim Carrey bad actors..they're both Canadians.

That might be cold enough to test the guns..you know just blow a few mice out but if you think they're going to try to make enough snow for a base, you're a moron..:spread:

Now you're talking out of your ass. It's 39 at Waterville, ME, which is at 300 feet and maybe 25 miles from the ocean. I think your "temps" are from the hot air coming out of your head.
