Sundown Spring Bumps

[Grassi21]

Just to clarify. Were the bumps that were there on Sunday still there?

assuming YES, i may still head up tomorrow if it is warm

Good question Greg and +1 on gmcunni's comment.

 

[Chris Sullivan]

yes what was there is there.

What's the plan for Thurs's impending rain? Close to preserve the snow?

 

[Chris Sullivan]

We are going to wait and see how things unfold. You can get burned closing on a forecast 3 days out.

I might actually hit it today. Something popped up for tomorrow so probably can't swing it. Today is supposed to be sunnier and a tad warmer. planb420 is my scout. He says currently they are mirror-like, but hopefully, they'll loosen up and he inform me.

chris, at this point with the limited time before the comp. are you still planning on mowing down the existing bumps and doing the whole thing or will you leave what is there and just run it down the remainder of gunny?

I suspect they'll need to farm some snow over to skier's right. My suggestion would be to keep the spacing like they did last month, but seed bigger piles if there's enough snow for it. There's not a lot of time to get good bumps to grow from skier traffic alone.

granted, i take it with a grain of salt, but the 15 day shows next week to be decent. nothing like last year but sunday is supposed to be sunny and near 50 and wednesday also sunny and near 50. the 19th is showing 47 and clouds. I'll be out there anyday next week that i can to help out.

I'm hoping since I took the whole week off....

no Kidding.. Kan you imagine Klosing based on a long range foreKast? that's just Krazy.

That would be like Killing a ton of business...

 

[severine]

:lol: Just feeling out the week is all... Wouldn't want anyone to make a decision 2 days in advance.

Ugh. More relentless kicks in the balls:

Sunday: Partly sunny, with a high near 45.

Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 19.

Monday: Sunny, with a high near 38.

Monday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 16.

Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 43.

Tuesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 22.

Days look good, but with those nighttime temps, softening is going to take a while, if it happens at all. WTF...
