powderfreak Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 35 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said: They better get a ton of snow down in the "cool shot" early next week....not even sure how much they can make but if they don't make it then, there's literally no way they can make any prior to 11/12. The irony is the pattern looks pretty good for them to make a ton of snow after that. My guess is if the forecasts hold they might give them the chance until the second snow inspection seeing as Killington has pulled the event off impressively well in the past for an FIS ski race in November in the East.

If they can wait, they'll probably get help naturally too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natural snow has zero factor in it. It’s all man-made and dense. Maybe if an inch or more QPF snow bomb but a snow gun can do that in a few hours. Need a lot of water to support a race like that… to drill in gates and then safety wise, they need to have feet of depth on the sides to be able to anchor the various netting and such. They have specs for depth to secure that netting so it won’t pull out when a human slams into it. That’s honestly the biggest hurdle is width and sideline depths.

I know...but I was saying this from a perspective of getting help naturally too because it's a small window for man made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I guess I was thing from the race event stance, natural would be more cosmetic than anything. It all helps but they’ll be looking for like a foot of QPF from the guns giving 3 feet snow.

powderfreak Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Watching the sun go down at 3,200ft right now… in NVT in November… and comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt. That’s wild. Not a leaf left anywhere, everything dead, but a comfy mid-50s above 3000ft. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can wait a few days when the 12th comes because as it looks now, they will have a good pattern to at least blow snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Love looking at the Wasatch Mtns this time of year. Alta with 50" already on the season with a 28" base depth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 It's been interesting monitoring the RMM over time... how this MJO wave is tunneling through an unfavorable Pacific... The GEFies have that as a moderate to strong wave penetrating early Phase 8!! It's been unfurling over time, too - that wasn't suppose to get there by Novie 7 (blw)... So, it'll be interesting if continues to bore its way across. The thing is, with the Pac/N/A look tending -EPO burst up there ( perhaps a couple of times over the next three weeks at that) ...this "might" come into a constructive interference if it keeps flirting with it.. If the wave dies by D10 like that ... perhaps not, but it's intriguing to see this behavior 'while' we are tracking the season 'possible' first winter pattern appeal (d10ish --> ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to where the pipe is outside on the house occasionally to check it and make sure I don’t smell the “rotten egg” smell. Not sure that would even be what I’m looking at. Use a spray bottle with just soap and water. Spray any connection or area you suspect might have a leak. If there is a leak, when you spray it, it will produce soap bubbles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
