Skiing this week?

fatlazyless · 12-01-2022, 12:03 PM

Thursday, December 1, 2022 and it's looking and feeling maybe a little bit like winter with a temperature at 33-degrees and a very few, lonely snowflakes in the air in the aftermath of yesterday's heavy rain fall.

Hey, check out their new Waterville Valley six-seat, enclosed bubble chairlift ..... www.waterville.com/cams ..... scheduled to open for the winter on Saturday, December 3 despite the predicted rain and warm temps ...... so, wait and see what happens with that? Will it be open and operating or will it wait another week for some colder temps to be making the needed snow on the slope?

Friday, Dec 2, 5-am with temps at mid-20's: there's a line of snow guns making snow on the White Caps trail, top to bottom, under the new 6-seater lift so snow making is happening whenever the temperature is low enough. These snow guns were running all yesterday afternoon when it was above 32-degrees and it looked like they were spraying all water spray in anticipation of a predicted temperature drop at sundown.

A Waterville Valley decision was made to move back opening day by one week to December 10 to get through the predicted rain and warmth and hopefully all goes good with the snow cover now getting made, temperatures allowing, on the slope.

Prediction: seating six people in a small confined, tinted dark, plastic bubble enclosed chairlift for a seven minute chairlift ride will be a non-issue with regard to transmitting any airborne virus via cold dry mountain air. You can see from a distance the enclosed, 6-pak, bubble chairs on their webcam ..... www.waterville.com/cams

Time will tell?

This new Tecumseh Express 6-seater chairlift supposedly cost over nine million dollars to build it in 2021/2022.

Skiers and riders usually wear a face mask on a chairlift ride for staying warm from the wind, and now on this new 6-seater Tecumseh Express chairlift to stop the spread of the coronavirus while riding this chair inside a plastic bubble, and sharing close breathing space with up to five others. The great majority of skiers and riders are under age 30, and probably not at all concerned about it? They just want to hit the slopes. As Mad Magazine's Alford E Neuman ...... used to say .......

....... "What, me worry?"
