So Mammoth is saying they're opening on Thursday, Nov 10th. Anyone here planning on being down there that weekend? Since it looks as though Tahoe joints might not be opening until the weekend after.....I'm considering rallying down pending what gets squeezed out of the clouds between now and then.
Also, this is going on that weekend as well: PowderWhore movie showing brought to you be the fine folks at t-tips.

Bueller?
Ty, Lego and I would totally be there, however we're heading to the bay area to see the Stones/Metallica concert. :rolleyes2 ;)
We'll be at tha Wood (hopefully, if it ever snows for realz) on Saturday, the 18th...
No prob....I'll see you kids at KW then....maybe...I probably won't be making a KW appearance until the first weekend in Dec regardless of when they open due to other random crap I have going on.
And I'll be stuck in downtown LA's Convention Center dealing with 4,000 aspiring screenwriters :cussing:
This just in.......
There is no "friday, Nov. 10th, 2005"............
2006 looks pretty good for that date though.
Depending on conditions and other things I may be there on Saturday.
Shit....Thursday looks pretty good for that date too.Quote:

But depending on that.....if Mammoth is open on the weekend of the 12th and no one else is.......Brit and I will be there. (that is my only weekend I can ski before another fun surgery--which will take me out for 3 weeks). I hope to be skiing somewhere that weekend!!!
Off to Mexico tomorrow..........fkna......will be beach livin, but snow dreaming.
Hmmm, mammoth opening huh. So like broadway, maybe cornice/climax and stump. Thats from the guys doing the blowing. It was t-shirt weather here tonight and i'm pretty sure they aren't blowing. Its been pretty warm lately for blowing snow. I hear broadway will be for sure but thats it right now. Opening is in a week and a half and we have no weather in the 1 week forecast. However, if you make the trip drop me a line, I'd like to meet a few of you mags.
FAck I"mn out. Surgey that day. Get ing a nosz job.
Couple of us will be there for sure Friday am. Gots to p/u some new Tele boots 1st, then cutting the ribbon by 10am.
Snow moving in somewhere around the 8th.
Mt Rose reports a predicted opening day of Nov. 10th (Thursday). They're making snow now.
looks like Mrs. Comish and I will most likely be there. Can't say I see anything but Broadway and if we are lucky stump...
well crap, yeah if its just Broadway, than my appearance is debatable. Will be keeping an eye on the skies....Quote:

Ty - I'd be up for going, depending on what'll be open at the time. Don't worry, I'll be on good behavior...
I'll be at the Kirkwood opener, but probably nothing before that.
Might have a good chance to make some turns down south soon.They are testing the guns!

(I picked Nov 25 as the first storm with more than 6" in the Mammoth Forums pool. I was hoping this would be an anti-jinx, since I never win contests, but now I'm starting to wonder.)
Naw. It's hottt here in Wrightwood, 75 degrees and shit.Quote:

70 deg in Verdi today. Whats the temp @ 8200 feet?
Come on guys, come to Rose, do laps on Northwest, scare the crap out of Ski Patrol!
I don't see how they are going to open by next weekend? Its 58deg there today, only light light showers predicted the next 10 days (And warm)/
Well never know?
I'll be there on Veteran's Day (Friday?).Quote:

Supposedly they put in a lot of snowmaking equipment over the summer of 2004 in the East Bowl, but I doubt they used it last winter. They'll need it this year.
And now the temp has droped and the wind is blowing HARD!
Storm comming?
I bet Rose has a Ribbon of Death open on the 10th. I'm not going to be amazingly psyched to ski it until my cabin opens on Dec 1, though, unless we get some good dumpage.
Yep the price to run off the groomers is high this time of year. But i can abuse myself on groomers too! Mt. rose will have Northwest open and groomed. (Fast with Air) Works for me>Quote:

I'll be there on the 11th, 12th, and 13th. Reservations made. But damn, I hope its more than just Broadway, Stump, and #3. Maybe a human-slalom-course day. Rock skis if its man-made or crust, and wondering if Gondi2 will operate? Maybe Utah the week thereafter if the Sierra get skunked that following week... :eek:
I'll be up for the opener, hopefully Old Man winter shows us his stuff.
I won't be able to make it on opening day, but I plan to be there on Sunday, the 13th.
I'll be there opening weekend. I may go out exploring and scoping later season lines. If I'm on the white ribbon, I'll probably get my pass punched for going too fast.
