3”. So good. Groomed before most snow fell. I think I saw TP4. If this whole place was open it would be untracked all morning. Can’t complain about some semi-powder turns this early in the season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dude quit fucking complaining about every damn thing.

too late

Salty...I'll just give you the $5 next time I see you so I don't have to listen to you bitch about it.

3" fresh light fluffy stuff, 12* and sunny with no wind. Changed our routine and were on mtn at 8:45. Fresh powder on top of groomed cord. Just perfect (looked like the pics of Blue this morning), no crowds or lift lines as usual. We were the only patrons in lodge when booting up at 8:30. Skied the mtn, same 9 trails open today with snowmaking on Slalom and the West side of mtn. Groomers working on lower Tunk, the snow bowl, and around the quad lift. Back to cabin for breakfast, a shower, and change into drinking attire. 😀 Life is good..... Sorry to much fun for images.

They should build bumps on the Chute again. They did a few years ago.

I can’t even think of a time that I recreated in a group, whether it be skiing, hiking, biking, rafting or whatever, that there weren’t beers after. It does go hand in hand! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So you currently have a $5 gift card??? Wanna go halfs on some chicken fingers sometime??

It was so good tonight that I forgot it was Dec 13th. Great snow everywhere with the exception of upper main which was marbley. Lazy was so on point. No crowds at all. GSS, AtomicSkier, George (is he on PASR?) and the man, the myth, the legend himself... Saltyant were all in the house. Best part of the evening... Saltyant: "wow... you guys are awesome skiers!" AtomicSkier: "I know I am". Haha. Great night session fellas.

Just coming in for a break, conditions are really nice. Sun was even out for awhile. And eaf, you should be fine with those skis.

Too much zinc in the brain?

other sites for deals are level9 and powder7. Ive also bought some stuff from asogear, a canadien ebay seller.

Yep. Hardly any people, no speed limit. And though the base is hard, it holds well, no obvious ice. Carving like on the rails, no need to check the speed or applied force. It just holds all the way through. Wow.

Beautiful conditions today, best day of the season by far. Walked tjrough the lodge doors as rope was dropping, ended up with 3rd civilian chair. Burma opened today as well. Rode with toast for a handful of runs. As of noon, blowing on paradise, challenge, home stretch, lower park

The world is upside down when Doug is the guy NOT driving new posters away.

I'd take him up on that. Toast and I only get $1 to delete Doug's posts.

forgot about these alright

Neither does stupidity.

Post what you want SaltyAnt...

I assume you look at lots of commas at your job. how does 5 dollars piss you off so much lol

Just now..

Is this for real?

Ungroomed the way it should be after snow. They groomed lazy to perfection this morning, so you have that. And Burma is open. Will likely be a bit choppy this evening though with the new snow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It will be fine eaf..skier packed powder. The new snow will pack to about 1/2 inch.

They should bump up Floyds now that's a good run..best 12 seconds ever.

They really should, mainly to keep people from screaming straight down it right into people coming down Main Street!

I just scored a pair of 16/17 Head Monster 88 in a 184 from Sierra Trading Post. Price $380+$26 for tax brought the total to $406 which isn't a bad deal. Free shipping. My company has a discount program with STP, where I can buy gift cards at 8% off. So (4) $100 gift cards cost me $368. Yesterday, Ebates.com was running a 12% cash back at STP lowering the cost by another $49. $380+$26-$32-$49=$325.

I believe Camelback also puts the kibosh on parking lot tailgating as well; bunch of heathens some of these mountains are.

FYI- he has not achieved man, myth, or legend status yet. Sounds like it was good, though. Excited to get up there for opening tomorrow.

Different strokes for different folks. I like running, some people don't. Some people enjoy karaoke, some people enjoy roller coasters.

Better than main street?

That was the plan but an order of 21 skids of office paper got pushed back to today, and I needed to be there for snow removal, along with several other things I didn't feel right about leaving for others to do. Hayata spoke to blue this afternoon and they said the six will be spinning tomorrow.

I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. I was too busy blocking out the haters.

Wow, you guys are harsh. I'll take a time out for a while.

Demoing is the only way to be sure you get the right ski. As Jlaw rightly said, we all ski differently. Reviews and recommendations will get you in the ball park but you should demo.

It's gonna be hardpack and ice tonight don't worry. The new snow is almost melted.

And they did groom but it snowed a couple inches on top of it. That's perfect.

I drive from Conshie to Blue kinda alot and that's just how it is. Some days it's an hour some days it's two, no use fighting it you can't do fuck all about it. I always look at it the other way I'm skiing for 2/3hours but I could be at home or work.

Hey, it just occurred to me that you could've saved another $5 if you'd ordered it online! Another gift card coming?

This guy's not new, he's been doing it for a few seasons now. He's the one that started seeding them on Razor's when the racers are done with it. If it weren't for management, he'd probably seed bumps on all the trails. We're just happy they do it. It's another reason to love BM. Other mountains (Cameltoe) don't or have some cordoned-off area, like bumps are a park or something. The only better thing Blue could do is let a trail (Switchback) go natural like Elk does with Tunk. That would be spectacular!

No sarcasm in my last post. I really think it's good that they are blowing the crap out of homestretch.

nothing major but it wasn't amazon prime either

Yeah I remember when Atomic Jeff offered one of the employees in the valley lot a bagel and his response was,"I'm not a Jew"

Currently pumpin'

I keep threatening him I’m gonna hide them chronics

^Just about to say....price is my deciding factor. 3-4 for skis. P12 bindings no other. Then whatever for boots at nestors.

I definitely want a setup in my arsenal eventually

Don't listen to anyone here, not even me. All they do is yell out some ski they had they thought was dope and even half decent skiers could get a fucking 2x4 down the hill. What do you like about your current skis ? What do you not like about your current skis ? What radius do you prefer ? What do you want to do with these skis ? Do you want a ski you have to drive all the fucking time or something more playful ? There is an enormous amount of bullshit out there about skis and at least in my mind it only really comes down to three things, radius, stiffness throughout the ski and shape/dimensions. I have skis across the radius, from 11 sl skis to 35+ big mtn ak skis and I've used them all at Blue for certain things. 203 shiros were redic redic when it went to random ass piles at say lower main st, they simply did not care but they also didn't really carve until I got them moving because my ass doesn't weigh enough or ski well enough for that kind of radius. SL skis are super dope but your going to make 100000 turns and be out of gas about half way down most runs. Skis that do everything tend to do everything ok but nothing amazing. Find out what radius your looking for and think about do I want one ski for everywhere I go or a quiver. Identify well made skis that fit your criteria and then go from there. Waist dimension is not nearly as important as people think, unless your racing or carve like AS it ain't going to mean shit. Do not listen to buy ski X that shit is worthless. I don't know that much about your skiing and what your after but I'd guess one ski quiver, my recommendation would be something like a Moment PB&J, ON3P Wren 98 or Kartel 98 if you want more jibby but again the specific ski is irrelevant until you know the criteria. Ride a bunch of people's skis or demo if you can try all kinds of shit even shit you don't think you'd like and identify the physical criteria your looking for and then ask lots of people about say a mid 20's radius, even flex, stiff, 100mm waist ski that can handle bigish dumps while being able to hack super firm hardpack in PA. Justo or Toast may have a totally differnt idea about what that ski is then say me or doug or whatever and that's cool because we all ski differently.
