Park Report 12/27/2008
We added a new jump last night to the 4 pack under acceletron lift so now we have 5 jumps in the line and we added a few boxes to the run as well. Jay, Eric, Hollywood, and Colby are working hard at night to get lower night park open and the plans for the layout are pretty impressive. The superpipe is a few days away from being completed.

park update: new snow just doesn't stop

With 20' in tonight's forecast and another 8' tomorrow it was time to pull the plug on a full rebuild. All of the existing park out front that we all know and love from opening day is now gone except for one flat box. The Kidz X park is still up on the right side of castle peak for all the little shredders. The Night Park below the soon to be superpipe will be closed for construction with a late Friday opening. The upper jumps will be seeing some cat time with the new snow but they wont open until possibly the weekend as we are going to make more snow for them starting tomorrow AM through sometime Saturday just because you can never have enough snow. Hollywood will put his touch on the 4 pack but don't expect it to be back in prime condition until after the storm blows out this weekend. The superpipe is only a few days away...I'll make an official announcement once I get past the point of no return. Oh the joy of building and maintaining park when you get nearly 7 ft of snow in a little over a weeks time. The long range is calling for some nice extended weather after these last two storms blow through so then it will be game on......

In the meantime..GO RIDE POWDER!

The storm continues to bring more snow and we are working hard to keep the park open and will be adding some new features when the storm is over. Eric and Jay are working hard to get the pipe open. If you have any ideas that you want to see in the park once the rebuild starts let us know. Have fun shredding the pow.

the 4 pack

We've gotten a good start on the new Acceletron Jumpline. With more snow in the forecast and continued snowmaking on the upper section it wont be long before we add 2 to 3 more jumps to the line. Our goal is to have a line of 7....5 medium table or slightly step over style followed by a solid step down and finished off by a solid step up. Cat work on the upper jumps will start tomorrow along with work on the superpipe. We want to have the top jumps finished by early in the week before the big storm that is forecasted hits us.

PARK REPORT 12/18/2008

4 Pack Jumpline under acceletron lift is opened and approved by none other than Boreal's own Henry Ryerson. Eric and Jay finished the jumps this morning and they are looking great. Hollywood added his touch to kids x park with a new boardercross course. With more snow on the way we are looking to have lower night park open really soon. The sun is out, the sky is blue, there are still a few stashes of pow, and there is a jumpline. Nothing else needed to say. Come Ride.

park update

Sorry for the lack of reports form the the world of Boreal's parks, we have been just a little busy these last two days. Here's the most recent update...it snowed a ton and now it is colder than you can imagine. The snow making has been running wide open since Sat morning and this now 5 day long snow making session has been the most productive in Boreals history. As of today we have enough snow for the superpipe, we are about one day away from opening the lower half of the Acceletron Jump line, the upper half should open with the superpipe sometime next week, and the lower night park will open on Friday.

snowmaking report

Today was out first nonstop around the clock snow making of the year. We pulled the portable gear off of Castle Peak and were working on top to bottom including parts of the real lower night park. Should have the top finished tonight and then tomorrow bump the portable gear down to continue in lower night park with with all guns blazing. We'll need a day or two to push out the piles but the top should open Wed or Thurs with the real lower night park by the weekend.

evening update!

Snowmaking started at 5pm this afternoon! Looks like tonight could be another good night as the temps are already as cold as they were at the coldest point early this morning. Dave and Colby are pulling some features tonight in anticipation of a lot of snow being made. If all goes well, the upper half of the park could see a pretty descent rebuild by tomorrow morning including the addition of another jump. The temp trend is looking really good but should it go back the other way then those features will just be reset, something that needed to be done anyway since we at least have the new snow from the last two nights. Either way, things will change up before we open tomorrow. I'll post another update in the early AM from the cat as things start to come together.

park report

PARK REPORT 12/3/2008

SNOWMAKING HAS RETURNED!!!!! The humidity finally bottomed out and we made snow with all guns, top to bottom and even at the Superpipe. Looks like tonight should be another good night with more windows opening into the weekend. Everything got a good freshing up last night and with another good night we should be able to change up the park again.

Here's another excerpt from our forecaster:
"My faith is restored a little, as the light east winds and lower humidities came together and allowed us some snowmaking. I think we'll see similar conditions tonight, but slightly cooler over the upper portion of the mountain, as 700 mb temps drop to +1'C tonight. Another weak system is dropping southward through the eastern side of the Great Basin and should cool the air mass a little more tomorrow and tomorrow night. At this point, ANY cooling is a great thing and with some east winds tomorrow night, should be another opportunity for snowmaking. A little milder over the weekend, then the models begin to diverge next week with how far south to push the jet stream. The good news is that we aren't under a strong, warm high pressure!"

park report

PARK REPORT 12/2/2008

Not much news for today. Still the same setup and unfortunately no snow making last night. There is a little hope on the horizon for a change in the weather. Here's a little excerpt from our private forecaster that sheds a little light on our weather fortunes.

"Well, we're making progress, at least the air mass is cooler this morning than we've seen in a couple of days. An area of low pressure is moving across the Pacific Northwest and will slide southeastward through Idaho, Utah and Colorado. The front pushes weakly through us and we see a light east wind tonight. I believe the humidity values remain fairly low, at least low enough for us to get a run at making snow tonight down lower on the mountain. The 700 mb temperatures still remain too warm for us up top. My expectation is that the high pressure, over the next week, shifts off the West Coast and will allow for a cooler air mass over the region and we'll be able to make snow. The models are still all over the place with regards to the details of the change, but they all agree to shift the high west of the coast."
