I felt like doing something mischievous, but only truly naive could be fooled, so dont make me don't feel sorry.


edit: Well, now I feel bad. Must apologize. Sorry :oops:

[HudsonHiker]

hook line and sinker I bought it. I'm just to dam anxious. I'll go for most anything about now. Thanks for the joke anyway.

Dude, you live in the area......it's been 50-60 degrees the last few days.....what were you thinkin? lol

i know, i know......we're all getting anxious...but don't let the flatlanders mess with ya.

Besides, the North Pole is here and we have a direct line to Santa. Does anybody think we should report naughty Denison to the Big Guy?

Comedy. Thanks for getting my back Fuje.

But you know ... with this whole Jersey thing - I'm in a twelve step program. My sponsor tells me I am making progress. 8)

[adkskier]

Step 1 of the 12 Step NJ program - get rid of the funny looking yellow-ish plates.
Step 2 - if keeping the plates, please turn one upside down beginning Dec 1st so that the EMT and troopers may read your plates more easily when your car is on its roof in the ditch!
Step 3-

[Snowballs]

well, the NY Governor may make us get are own funny looking yellow plates. did you see those? they're ugly.

[Snowballs]

There were only 2 guards, Mrs. Paterson and I don't remember if it was one or two kids. either way it was just them and us, so 6 or 7 people in the cabin.
The kid who I was riding with's sister taught the governor's kids how to ski that weekend.

In order to reduce the deficit, Parking in the main lot will only be $2-, but it must be paid in coins and will be collected by off duty groomer operators holding boots to catch the coins in order to keep the traffic moving at a pace slow enough to manage....and Paterson will be doing the pre-opening trail checks.

lol. yea Yorkers aren't exactly known for their manners either. point well taken, at least by this PA. boy. there are nice people here though. they just tend to be over shadowed by the dinks.

[Lbtchnlgs]

Someone posted on the Gore Facebook wall that they should have a web cam, Just looked and they deleted the post.

Don't think it's happening...

[adkskier]

Someone should post it again!

[Snowballs]

Digitial Graphitti?

[Harvey44]

Interesting....from the site:

"A couple of inches of new snow fell on top of Bear Mountain, look for snowmakers on Ruby Run, Sunway, & Quicksilver."

No mention of Topridge.

I've always thought there should be an official snowmaking thread. Maybe Denison would rename this one. Could take some of the heat off the dorks from Jersey. 8)

[Denison]

no, we need another thread. there was a coating of snow on top today and i heard what sounded like snowmaking, but i think they were just blowing water/air. picture is coming

Were you there today? i was up at 2ish. Took a ride on the gondi.

[Denison]

I was around 11, didn't take my pass, no ride.

[Harvey44]

no, we need another thread.

That thread has your name on it. :D

Snowmaking?

Still looks way warm. Radar looks scary too.

[rossi]

hahaha. they delelted my comment about the demo day.

[Raymo40]

Went up to pick up my pass today. It was 51 degrees at my house in ballson Spa. 42 Degrees at the base. Took a gondola ride to top of Bear. 33 dregees and they were blowing snow on ruby run. Let it Snow.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3odMp_5ZE0

Wow that's a big difference over 1500 feet. I'll take it. Even if it was Gak at 33 degrees.

Nice video work today Mr Ray.

Great to get a glimpse of the summit too.

Hope you don't mind that I highlighted some of your work you know where.

[Raymo40]

No problem Harv. Use anything you want

I imagine they are shooting to be able to open for the masses with 1 long cruiser, starting to loose some serious $ if they aren't offering a Family oriented mountain by this weekend

We don't be skiing the upper mountain till January! Sounds backwards doesn't it?

[Snowballs]

local weather reports are finally showing a week with highs only in the 40's, lows in the 30's...still shaky tho

if it gets cold, seems like they are better at covering ground faster. i think back to an ORDA meeting where Pratt said they can blow more snow simultaineously now..... as in at once. i've seen prolonged zero degree early December weather here before. sure would make up a lot of ground quick.

It's midnight. 35* here at exit 18. Albany news just reported it had dropped down the 35* there two hours ago BUT the SW wind picked up and raised the temperature back up to 50 Degrees!!!!!! what the heck! i suppose it will be 40*+ here soon and at Gore before sunrise. that's screwed up.

They say cold air is right behind it with elevational snow showers starting a 7pm Monday. I'll watch, maybe pigs will be flying. Everybody cross their fingers!

[I:)skiing]

Sadly....Saturday and Sunday were absolutely temperate at Gore. Got lots of work done....rather have been skiing and pushed the work till next seaon. Better I got it done now. My back.....ouch.


Every now and again I can hear the guns from the house. My son came back from a bike ride today and reported "deep" snow at Gore.."lets get our skis and go." He got some kicking 88cm at Cunninghams this weekend and is dying to test them.

We drove from the ADK museum at Tupper Lake on Saturday. 1-2 inches of natural snow laying on the grass on both hills/mountains coming south to NC. However as we crested the last knoll around North River....temp climbed from low 30's to over 40. All precip stopped. :(

[Snowballs]

How was the ADK museum? It looks really nice in the ads. Sadly, some who live there tell me the parking lot is usually empty.
The one at Blue mtn lake is very nice.

Both Museums are absolutely fantastic! We did Blue Mt in Aug...packed. At Tupper on Friday---PACKED.

Great for all ages. I would have spent 8-12 hours in each myself, but then I really like this kind of stuff. Kids of every age seemed to be really interested in both.

Hint: Do NOT put your nose over the Mink "puffer". (puffers let you smell what the animal really smells like...they have them for plants too) Beavers oddly smell like a tobacco pipe.



LBTCH--thanks for the photo. Bet its on the websit tomorrow!

[Snowballs]

[quote="I:)Beavers oddly smell like a tobacco pipe. [/quote]

Ok. But I never smelled one quite like that.............



Yea, i thought the Blue Mountain museum was excellent. Very well done.

Great to hear they were packed.
