voytazbrna Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I can't make Sat. Sun is a possibility, but I've never been to Mt.Peter. Is it worth the longer drive? Not sure if wifey would be up for it. Quote
voytazbrna Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 just checked the directions...it's about the same distance as MC. I might give it a shot. Are you gonna be there on Sunday morning? If not this weekend then possibly the next one. I gotta talk to my wife about it. I'll keep you posted if I can make it this Sun. Quote
voytazbrna Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 just got a call from my boss - gotta work on sunday so it's not gonna work out this weekend. will try it in the near future for sure. Quote
Erik J Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 If you guys are riding long enough tomorrow, stop down for some grub afterwards (we open at 6) - first round is on me. I was at Mtn Creek today - holy effin ice rink. The rain seems to have matted down the groom which then froze to a solid brick. With temps in the teens tonight I wouldn't go anywhere near that place tomorrow. Mt Peter, on the other hand, takes such good care of their snow. The same people that groom it, ride it - so they seem to really care. I'd be there as well if I wasn't working. Quote
boardman73 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Posted January 31, 2008 be sure to bring parachute suits and headbands to mt petra saturday morning!!!:rolleyes: Quote
Erik J Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks Eric... Was there any evidence of snowmaking starting up this evening? Its unfortunate, the conditions at MC were quite good prior to this rainstorm. It was warm this morning and temps started freezing just after noon. There's not much they could have done to revamp the snow due to the timing of the rain/thaw/freeze. I didn't see any obvious evidence of snowmaking - but I wasn't really paying attention either. I'd bet conditions will be much better at Mt Peter. They're pretty good at damage control when it comes to bad weather. Although 40 deg rain followed by a 17 deg night is a tough one. Hope to make some turns with you again - it was great to meet you. Quote
Erik J Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 OOOOO!! - Pipeline is ready to open also. The whole Granite side was closed today as well as the cabriolet - slow blue chair only at North. Quote
boardman73 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Posted January 31, 2008 just got back from roundtop and it was quite firm to super mega hard:confused: i was riding like johnny mc'chatter washoutalot! hope petra will be better on sat and looking forward to ridiing wit yous guys!!! Quote
jtslalom Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 MC was blowing snow this morning (Thursday). I'm sure it was as hard as a rock last night. I will be riding tonight at MC with my daughter on the Sugar Trail. If conditions aren't bad I will drop her off and then ride hopefully with others (Shawn I'll call you). If not then I will be riding tomorrow late afternoon into the night. It sounds like Mt Peter this Sunday morning. Please post if this is a definate thing. Quote
Erik J Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 The snowguns are a-blazin at Mt Peter today - glad to hear that Mtn Creek is doing the same. Quote
Erik J Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 So sorry to hear about your knee - that sucks. I hope you heal up quickly. I'll peek down tonight assuming I'm not getting crushed with work. Quote
