jtslalom Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Voyta, Try to make it up to the ECES. I'm sure it will be a good time. I rode today (Tuesday 2/21/12) with my two kids. Conditions were excellent in the morning. Mountain Creek made snow Monday night and the snow was perfect in the morning. We stayed on the Sugar slope and made one run from the top. Conditions started to turn to sugar by noon or so. Crowds were much less on Tuesday then on Monday or Sunday. I will be riding tomorrow with Ken in the morning.

sic t 2 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Voyta, I will be riding tomorrow with Ken in the morning. got there at 9. cabriolet inoperative for no good reason; "wind", there was no wind. geezzz,, don't jerk us around mc !! pretty stiff courduroy right off the bat. carveable, though. very peaceful, nobody on the hill (we were using triple lift). as temps climbed it softened, then it got perfect and then it got too soft. rode granite peak too. be careful where you ride, a lot of dirty snow and bedrock beginning to melt through. unless cold temps return winter is not long for this place. this weekend will probably be ugly unless they get a night they can blow snow; otherwise, rock boards required for sure !

grobm Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks for the update jtslalom. I will be on the hill tomorrow morning till 12:00. I will pack my rock board just in case. Hope to do a few runs with Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtslalom Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Had a fun time riding with Sict2 (Ken) this morning. It doesn't look to good for Mountain Creek though. As he said above, the conditions are starting to deteriorate. Grass is starting to show through. I won't be riding any of my Status boards there any more this year. It looks like I'll be riding my K2 Fatbob. Anyway bumps should start forming soon on Zero-G and Devils Bit. The next two days will be in the 50's so Friday and Saturday evenings will be prime for riding bumps. Forget about carving guys, unless you have your own tuning equipment or you don't care to much for your edges. I'm excited for next week and the ECES. Joe, John, Dave and I will be rooming on Wednesday and Thursday night in Stratton. I have checked the temps for next week and everything looks perfect. We are suppose to get colder temps that will be prime for making snow at Stratton. Hope to see other local carvers up there.

grobm Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 2-3 inches of POW today anyone going to MT Creek or are we all writing it off till we see some good snow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwbthedc Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 i will be up there in an hour or so, BUT I am merely working with my 4 and 6 year old. I will keep my eyes open for any hardbooters and if someone yells "Yo, Hardbooter!" It's me trying to introduce myself. Otherwise we will be playing dodge the grassy spots.

keltacer Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Any updates in the conditions at MC? May be in the area for work tues and wondering if it'd be worth it to pack a board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwbthedc Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 There was still snow on Sunday. Some very thin parts that were highly traffic but granite was nice. That was all we did. I see it from the season pass perspective...how else could I enjoy this fun outside for just the cost of gas? And if you go to taco hombre after,a healthy dinner is cheap too.

grobm Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Nice! I have to check out taco hombre. I might be on the mound on Wedsnesday (bad snow day) or Thrusday (if I can reschedule meetings). Is the feeling generally that the mountain is getting worse or that they are going to close soon? -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtslalom Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 NO WAY. I highly doubt that MC will make snow. The only reason they will make snow is to beerf up the base area, however I doubt they will make snow on any other part of the mountain. I will pass it tonight and post only if they are making snow.

jtslalom Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well grobm, They made snow and at this very moment (5:45 am 3/6/12) are still making snow. I drove across the valley this morning and could see the snow clouds. It looked like they were making snow at both Vernon and South bases, one trail at north and possibly parts of two trails at south. I am surprised. Have fun riding.

Since my shop pass let's me ride for the season I will head over there on Wednesday unless we have some major increases in temps or Hunter gets a big drop of snow before then. I will report conditions on Weds ride. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sic t 2 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well grobm,They made snow and at this very moment (5:45 am 3/6/12) are still making snow. wow... that's unexpected. Tomorrow (wed) I had my eye on Hunter, or my YZ450 on the sand in Cuddebackville, or the KTM250 on my brother's farm in Clinton. I'll have another beer and try to make a decision :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobm Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Mountain Creek, in short: Morning was amazing. Mid-day was melted snow and crud. Four o'clock was pretty much run off snow and mud. (switched to my Jib Board) MountainCreek is pretty much done. Unless we get some really cold days and snow. Hunter or far north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
