Main Street was fun to, and Da Glades opened - thin in Sleepy Xing, but Lazy Baumer was deep stacked from snow making, not icy, and fun! Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk

Didn't ski today--the wind chill was too brutal. I skied at Pico the other day in -7 weather and it was fine, but there was no wind that day. The last couple of days here the wind chill has been like 25 below and I found out the hard way how much of a difference wind speed makes. So Okemo yesterday was a day skiing, and I'm not complaining, but it was challenging. First, it was scary cold. My only problems were feet and face, but they were serious problems. My Hotronics cranked to "eleven" just couldn't keep my toes from being painfully cold. You had to cover your face, but doing so fogged your goggles and the fog immediately froze, so you'd have to figure some damn way to get ice off your lenses. The Airhole balaclava I was wearing was nice, thick fleece, but it got saturated from condensation right away, so was worse than useless as face coverage. The snow was pretty firm to begin with and then became scraped off quickly, with big, bald ice patches everywhere. So you were always sort of looking for snow and dealing with ice. And it was really crowded, so there was a lot of standing around not moving much, which didn't help anything. At one point I went inside the lodge at the Solitude lift to warm my feet and before you know it i was at the bar drinking a Magic Hat and eating a F-ING AMAZING plate of chicken and waffles. That was really the highlight of the day. On the way home I almost didn't make it up the hill to my family's house, so all my evangelizing about Bridgestone Blizzaks should now come with the caveat that you really should have all wheel drive in Vermont. Rear-axle torque: I needed it. Headed home tomorrow and hoping to get some runs in first thing on NYD.

I don't want to speak for everyone, but I think you've kind of reached the point where most people don't really care about what you post and are only (if that) looking for a spot to troll the troller.

conditions were downright awesome today. #wideskis #notboring #notcamelback

It's one day because I fucking say it is.

Give the snowmakers a raise.

Made it down Smoke. One fell once and got herself up.

If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't believe you were for real.

My dad sent me this picture today. Looking west into the Lehigh Gap. You can see them deconstructing the old trestle that used to cross. And of course a beautiful black diamond diesel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

177s would have just floated right down that due to the increased surface area.

Tell her way to get after it. Good for them that’s awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't wait for the "What camera should I buy thread." I'll start: Nikon.

Not just that, but your quality > quantity.

Annnnd that is why Subaru is the unofficial state car of Vt. Safe travels

Especially with the 84mm width.

100% open is incredibly impressive. Serious props to the snow making and grooming team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Usually if my lunch break is longer than an hour I count it as two days. Or if I go back out with a different set of skis, or a different jacket.

100% open before new years is borderline incredible. props to blue for pulling that off. im excited for 2 days of riding in a row.

Told them just being brave enough to try it made them better skiers than one of my main ski buddies (or their mom).

fantastic day. better than Camelback.

We met a parking lot attendant who was also a snow maker as well..we thanked him for his good work..

Doing a 2nd Montage day, since our hotel was 3 miles away and we woke to see at least 2" of fresh had landed last night (and is still coming down) on top of the nice surface from yesterday. Bomus that virtually nobody is tracking it up. Long Haul is running and serving the least tracked up run. Conditions are so nice I may take my girls on one of the double blacks (Smoke) today, which would be a first for them.

I use 5-6 GBs of data a day.

Blue wouldn't care if you built a bonfire in the lower lot. They'd probably sell you a bag of marshmellows for $8

Not sure. Crowds are bad and husband has off and I have barely seen him the last month because of his work schedule. Play it by ear. Going to CB 1/6 with my boys for a few days.

Hey All, I'm back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. There was about 1/2" of new snow when I began my drive at 6:48am and the drive up took at least 10 minutes longer due to slow mofos on the road. Arrived at the bottom lot at 730am and the temperature was in the low teens with a steady snowfall. In the house today were Atomic Jeff, tickle me Toast, JFDan, Slim, Ryan, Indiggio, MBike Mike, Matt edge and many others. First run I skied challenge while the others skied Razors. Challenge was untracked except for some cross tracks done by the ski patrol in avalanche mitigation efforts. Second run was sidewinder and it was sa weet with large swatchs of pow pow. Next run everybody but me did nightmare to dreamweaver and I did Razors edge just as they were closing it for race training and Razors was sweet and I did my first razorback of the season. That run reaffirmed that today was a real deal PA powder day. Switchback was good..don't tell anybody..x-Ing was dust on crust but still good and challenge got icy quick. This morning was like skiing in a snowglobe and it was warmer with temperatures rising through the teens. First hour skied seven runs, second hour skied six runs, third hour had some troegs and weyerbacher beers. Missed the red chair a few times today..JFDan had some heat from us via his propane tank and some Xmas cookies as well. I'll be back tomorrow AM enjoying some more December skiing and I heard conditions are gonna be Grrr ate

Thanks Steeze at least one person does on here.

Thanks Sally after your brother Salty you're one of the best new posters here.

This looks like a pretty good deal this Thursday FYI

Just that it's the first Thursday of the month, and they're doing it three straight months with 70s, 80s, and 90s pricing respectively

Nice I'll read it after I SU!!

Thats not taylor swift

TP4 all I can say is Blue is gonna have great conditions tomorrow AM no ifs ands or butts about it.

We just ski as much as we wanna ski. Matt edge is still out there and I'm sure indiggio as well. I've had times where I skied in the morning and at night the same day. Just do what you like. What are you eating at the buffet? Chinese buffets are a great deal one item at a traditional Chinese restaurant is about what the buffet costs.

It's pretty terrible when for $12 more a skier could just stop by Buckmans on the way to hill and get a ticket that's good for twice as long

I like that!!!

I just got a Crosstrek and love it.

I brought a fire pit and wood to Closing day a few years ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll will be there Sunday. No one is allowed to laugh at my mediocre skiing skills.

Eaf, Salty and ski2live..would be like this.

I’ve been hand flexing my monster(s) every day. A few days I hand flexed twice in one day. Can wait for the mounting.

Was he a gaper?

AND HE HAND FLEXED THEM.

Have fun SallyAnt!!!

Did he even fucking hand flex them? If no, then he'll never choose an appropriate ski.

I came across this and somehow it seemed appropriate
