They dont plan on opening soon, there just blowing it so they have enough for a decent coverage. They will deff have the best opening day coverage in pa. And how did bear creek already blow snow.

dude its camelback, no matter how much snow there is opening day (barring a freak 3 foot dump) it will still suck. its like 600 feet tall with a crappy park.

"For Mid-Atlantic snowmakers, two factors have a profound influence on the process: temperature and relative humidity. People often look at their Eddie Bauer thermometers on their ski jackets and say, “Hey, it’s below 32 degrees, why aren’t the snow guns cranking?” The answer is humidity. In general, the more humid the air, the lower the temperatures have to be to be for snowmaking." (http://www.dcski.com/articles/view_article.php?article_id=364&mode=search)

you can still pretend i'm wrong and dont know what i'm talking about.. believe me... i made my own snow gun... i know how things work

the temp drops 3.5 degrees per 1000 feet so just because it's a mountain it doesn't mean it is that much colder on top. Out west and up north thats a different story....and yes relative humidity and temp and both factors when it comes to making snow and it can also be too cold to make snow..efficiently that is

east coast teaches you to not be picky, cause any snow to us is good, while other places complain about only gettin a foot of fresh powder, we have to rely on man made snow.
