ski MRG Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 That man-made snow is pretty durable... lasts a lot longer than natural. Stowe's now got a top-to-bottom white ribbon from snowmaking... Sunday looks warm but then 24 hour snowmaking returns Sunday night through Thanksgiving at least. Plus the flurry parade continues... flakes in the air in some capacity off and on now for 24 hours. LOL. Skiers think alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 LOL. Skiers think alike. Ha yep... and also the way man-made snow piles up there isn't a lot of surface area exposed to the warmth. That's why ski areas won't push out the piles and spread it around until they absolutely have to. Its the same reason as to why your snow lasts a lot longer when its piled up in a snowbank vs. if you knock the pile down and spread it out around your yard.

I always get p*ssed in the spring when I see somebody accelerating the melting process by shoveling their snow banks out onto the warm pavement. It should be illegal with the first offense being a stiff fine and jail terms imposed for subsequent offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been paying attention to temps down there and know the hilltops have stayed warm, but they must've gotten a solid freeze of 28-30F by now, no?

Mr Torchey Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 36 A delightful evening, cool and crisp the smell of burning wood filling the air, hard to believe in less than two weeks winter will be here, and with that comes the most important bday of all, Jerry, born on the first day of winter how fitting.

Mr Torchey Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hmm, missed your daily. After many days of +15-20 I thought most would find this pretty boring.

The sheltered little hollows here on the East Slope were below freezing before sunset. Peru was also at 32 when I went through there at 4:30. Anytime you want to check my obs Shaw Pond is now the closest on radiational cooling nights. I miss the Ashfield site. It was so close in elevation and proximity. Our overnight lows matched up very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
