I like putting my boots on the floor of the front seat. They are nice and toasty when I put them on.

I’m really enjoying this cold weather. Makes for great conditions, and I love it when the snow is squeaky.

I haven’t been in a few years but doesn’t sound like fresh sausage to me…and that’s what I always ordered and in my fatter days would want corned beef hash also.

Heated socks and hand warmers made for a pleasant evening. Skied 6-8 with a minimal crowd. Couple slick spots but smooth and good snow. NMDW was still closed and Rzr’s opened around 7

1/21/2025 The wife’s another year older and time for another birthday “week” ski trip up to NH, specifically for the World Cup mogul competition at Waterville, but also hit some Indy mountains too. Out of the house at 6am and into the freezer, big time! Decided to stop at Catamount on the way up as I’ve never been. The lowest temp along the ride there was -1, but bounced anywhere from there to the teens. Rolled into Catamount just after 9am, booted up, hit up the counter to get a pass using the Indy and out to the freezer. Looking up the mountain, only 1 of the 3 expert runs, Ripper, has snow on it. The other runs on looker’s right were open and they were blowing on the blues far looker’s left. The mountain is basically beginners on looker’s left and the more fun stuff on looker’s right off the Ridge Quad. Unfortunately that quad is a donkey, so it’s slow up and quick down. The place is similar to Blue but much more spread out and slower lifts. Ran down the blues which has some nice, soft freshly blown and groomed snow that was fast and edgeable, with a few slick spots in the center. Did a run down Ripper that was quite dark and lots of marbles, but it’s got some giddy-up and a nice roller at the bottom for some good air if not absorbed. Hit up the bar for a beer with the wife and headed off Brats at One Love brewery…

Ok, so now they are completely fucking up NMDW.

Speaking of BMDI anyone had the fresh sausage lately? It used to come as a smashed link no casing but the other day it was a cased link. They were busy so I didn’t bother questioning and it was good, just wondering if it changed or they messed up my order

The father of a local blogger was one of the charecters from the slaughterhouse five. I remember reading Breakfast of Champions, a lot better than Breakfast at Tiffany’s but not as good as breakfast at the blue mountain drive inn.

Function over vanity..

Floyd’s is apparently finally open.

Google is biased - BST's are old Vonnegut reference for money

I'm finally getting a new zipper. But they only have black in waterproof. I hope it doesn't look weird.

That’s a really nice response of theirs. I’ve had customers who are alot more pissed than you and my response was like,”sorry, we’re doing the best we can…I’ll make a few phone calls and resolve this”… as @Johnny Law says we are just gooey bits of matter spinning around a rock spinning around a star sliding down frozen water on wood at metal….and yes I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self defense…

Nice report, I definitely had FOMO after being at Blue the true five of the previous 6 mornings. Always nice to read a report of yours where I don’t ask how Floyd’s was lol

Nice report…I definitely had some FOMO today after being at Blue the true 5 of the previous 6 mornings..I’ll prob be out next on Thursday morning or Friday AM… and googled what bio support tickets are…computer stuff..

Yes, it was cold - However no substantial wind or lift lines with almost every (They're building features on NM/DW) trail delivering sweet, groomed cord did not allow cold to be an issue. Completed the tour de blue in between the race clinic - Every run was enjoyable, crowd free carving at speed. It will be a good day tomorrow, unfortunately have to a get back to collecting bio-support tickets.

Scamelback responded to my complaint. It's all Blue's fault! Thanks Camelwhack!!

Good day today, Tuesday. 2 degrees on the car thermometer at the house, but it read -8 in the Buckwa creek valley north of Blue. Everything was in good shape, with NM/DW closed for major grooming. Very light crowds. Warmed up to 17 at the mountain by noon.

Generally don't need them. $35 boot gloves whose battery won't die / get lost are enough 95% of the time. Also, if my boots aren't on my feet, they are on heaters even if I skip a day. So they are heated through and warm when I put them on.

yea that was quite the parade with the groomers, sleds and SxS. Niko and I passed it about 2/3 down for some sweet cord

you broke those in on Coming Soon in the upper ditch. So, 1/2 hour into being on them? i was pretty impressed. right out of the box, and onto the rocks.

Just my annual pair of disposable rock skis for the season... Blaze 94s.

yea but sharkbites suck. smelt or nothing.

no boot heaters?! I just installed a new set of Hotronics in MrsSnoBunski's boots

Lol , pipes cheap I think I’ll stick with plastic vs steel. The clanging and banging isn’t fun to listen to.
