Bluebird. Groomed to perfection this morning. Best grooming and conditions this year. It’s absurd how fantastic it is for the end of March. Yolo! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No school today so brought my 4 year old for his first ski trip. Signed him up for Snow Monsters and got him to his lesson at 1:00. Mountain was empty. Snow was great, maybe the best I have ever had at JF. First Run was T-bolt and hit a little bit of the glade. Pretty good coverage but some rocks and twigs were coming through. Headed to River Shot then back down Challenge. Hit a little of the bumps on exhibition then it was over to Snow Flake to watch my son's lesson. They do a real nice job at JF. took a few runs down Easy rider and Spunky's secret. Spent rest of the day videoing Brady. He had a very nice instructor named Judy. Probably my last trip of the year but might try to get my daughter out for a trip to Montage next week.

Work this time. Possible return this summer for fun.

His car has some additional weight to help with traction, he hauls around a lot of garbage.

I’ve had this quick 2 day riding trip planned for about 5 weeks and of course, the last time I ride before leaving (Sunday) I tweak my knee. Thought about not coming but decided to go ahead and continue anyways. 330 wake up call. Pulled outta my parking spot at 430 on the dot after 10 mins of cleaning my car off. The Roads weren’t too bad, the worst being for the first 30 minutes of my drive. stopped at wawa for cash and coffee and let it rip for another 2 hours. Stopped right outside of Vermont for a bathroom break and Dunkin. Back on the road for the final 45 minutes and pulled into the main lot at 903. 4.5 hours with 2 stops. Notbad.gif By far the best conditions I’ve ever ridden. Perfect winter snow all morning and softened up after lunch. Sun most of the day and moderate temps. Beautiful perfect day. Got my ticket and ready by about 930. A lil 420, a donut and I was on the lift by 945. I rode their 6 pack bubble for about the first 3 runs, just getting my feel for the place. I then took a run down the north face of the mtn then over to Carinthia for about 5 park laps. They only had a couple park runs set up to my surprise, but very long runs with a lot of features. I rode the medium park nitro for the majority of the time. Went easy in the park because of my knee. Oh well. After that I took a few runs down the north side then hit the lodge. I really like how their lodge has multiple spread out small places to get different stuff. I went with a vanilla latte along with some snacks and a lil 420 at the car, then sat at the base for about 45 minutes just relaxing, trying not to fall asleep in their comfortable chairs. After “lunch” I rode the main face and the north face from 1-4 and caught one of the last bubbles up. Soooo much fun to ride as fast as you want and still have a nice long run. I had a fantastic time lapping the blues on the main face and lapping the diamonds on the north face. Around 3 I started to explore some of the trees and look forward to doing more tomorrow. After riding I hit about 5 shops on RT100 looking for something but came up empty handed. Went back to the hotel, checked in and writing this report in the indoor hot tub. After this I’m gonna shower and go grab something to eat on 100, comeback and watch the remainder of the 76ers game. Speaking of which, I saw a few people wearing eagles stuff. I had to give them quiet E A G L E S Eagles chants/gobirds. Hoping for a decent breakfast in the morning...

Part of the beauty of Arizona is that there's nothing else like it in the world. Cactus and this type of desert environment are unique to the SW US of A. Drive north and places like Sedona, red rock country, monument valley, the Grand Canyon are just so damn cool and unique. If you want rocky type mountains there's flagstaff, snowbowl and a few other resorts for skiing etc. The bottom line is my ass wasn't built for the east.

I'm not sure if this fits in the pics of the day thread, the food thread, or the diet thread... but I like it!

I just noticed I beat last seasons total ski days yesterday...while it pales in comparison to when I skied nearly every day a decade ago it proves how long and solid this season has been.

Will be better at Blue. Just the kind of snow you like. Packed Perd. Leave your facemask at home it’s spring.

Serves you right. Next time stop at bonn and get a traffic report first

I went up over the hill, Macarthur then 22 to 78 to 61 to 422. 222 the primary alternate is two lanes so during a storm it's better to stick to the highways. Apparently a tractor trailer jack knifed under an over pass and all the other tractor trailers behind it did the same or put it into the snow bank. At least I got to pee in the left hand lane of 78, hopefully its a one time event.

Today was awesome, everything was super perfect....then I got stuck on 78 for three and a half hours when some tractor trailers took a group shit but just one of those early runs was worth it.

Best conditions that I have ever skied. Skied Mount Snow on Thursday. Snow was perfect all day. Powder and soft bumps. North face was closed because of wind. Skied Bromley on Friday to avoid the $17 lift ticket crowds. Traffic leaving the Snow lake lodge was crazy. It looked like traffic going to the shore. After we passed the Mount snow main entrance it was clear sailing to Bromley. Drove passed Stratton on the way. Arrived at bromley around 9:30. Parking lot was empty and so was the lodge. It was great skiing and the crowds reminded me of Jack Frost late season. We were wearing Eagles gear and had a bunch of people from Philly area approach us and talk. One was a retired ski patroller from Blue. My son going down Glade at Bromley. Trail was a Blue full of small bumps. We also took a few runs in the real glades at Mount Snow the next day. Saturday at Mount snow was crowed but still a great day. Spent more time in lines but still got a bunch of runs in each day. Snow Lake Lodge did the job. It is out of date and walls are paper thin but it does the job. For the low price and location it was perfect for our trip. We went in the hot tub after asking each day. Snow Lake Lodge is for all of the blue collar skiers. It is like the lower deck of the Titanic. All of the rich stuffy people stay at the Grand Summit Lodge. The Snow Lake Lodge is the fun party location. People were really nice and offering us beers in the hot tub.

Your sexual innuendos are not appreciated on this family friendly site. Ski2Live is going to be upset.

Sounds like a great day! I enjoy reading about kids learning to ski. Always nice reading about Ski2Live, NMSki, Ridge, etc. getting out with their kids!

Ding him in the mouth with a sausage bahahaha

I'll be up solo Saturday morning. Likely Sausage Saturday this week as I think we will be at Camelback Sunday

Gapers are everywhere! Sounds good so far. Enjoy!

See other mtns section.

Root isn’t a gaper anymore. He takes risks.

Yeah man. All day

I didn’t know you parked up there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pro tip salty: only gapers and Jerry’s park up top. There is a riders of the storm exception to this, not that you’ll need it.

Probably. Camelback is dumb like that.

Yeah, definitely later in the day with the sun. Looks like they're calling for clouds now on Sunday and not as warm.

When 12" isn't long enough...

But you’re coming from hazleton makes zero sense.

Barney's were fantastic, all over the place with soft tops. Didn't even bother with the troughs, since the tops were so much fun. Snow skied a bit slower with all the perder mixed in, but not enough to be a problem.

Pics or it didnt happen. Forget that. I'm sure it happened.

Bonn isn’t on the way to reading.

That’s my hope since I’m gone the weekend of the 7th/8th and don’t like missing closing day!!!

Headed up to Kmart for an extended St. Patty’s weekend with the family. Saturday’s conditions were awesome on the tour de K, they had gotten 3’ plus last week with close to 6’ in March. Highlights were some pow stashes in the low angle trees at Ramshead to introduce my daughters boyfriend to glade riding. Niko and I hit some nice tree as as well and ended up at Bear bashing pow bumps on OL and Devils Fiddle. It was my first time riding Devils and was pretty tech with some nice rocks in between . Ended the day with many Fiddleheads at the Wobbly Barn. Even sunnier on Sunday, but still cool with a high in the low 20’s to preserve the snow. We resumed the tour which working from bear across skyeship back to K-1. Smooth grippy groomers and cruising Great Eastern was welcome relief as my bones were feeling a bit beat up from the day before. Ended the day at Long Trail brewing. Monday I left them on there own in the morning to head up to Moosalamoo forest for some XC, did a little over 5 ish miles on the Catamount trail from Widows Clearing. My original plan was to knock off another Tony Godwin trail but I realized Moosalamoo peak was a little over ambitious (especially with no set tracks) and just did an out and back. I head back to K and parked at sky ship and met the crew at the mid station Jerk shack for a zero gravity cone head ale and some goat chili before doing a few runs . Very cool to cruise back great eastern to the car. They texted me on the way back they were doing a growler fill at Killington Beer Company. We saw a sign for it on the access road the day before so we checked it out, great beers with some funny takes on K trail names, double DIPA, etc. Yesterday was the warmest of the days with a high of high thirties which softened the bumps up just enough to jump in and out with some rubber legs. Spent some time in stash and other parks noodling around. Mrs snowbunski and I headed up to the summit lodge around 11 for a cocktail. there was a guy next to us downloading vids to his laptop and after talking to him for a bit I remembered seeing a TGR trailer at the base and put 2 and 2 together. A few minutes later a bunch of folks wander in with serious goggle tans and stoke stank so I asked them if they had change for a nickel and knew Bart, lol. It ends up they were going to all the EC Ikon resort doing shoots. Ski till i die dude (Alex?) was with them also so I told him to come back down to blue again and he was into it. It was a great weekend, awesome snow, and beers with the family, pics to follow Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just the JO...

Everybody skiing this morning have fun and post reports!!! I’m back to work like a dork.

See you there for sloppy seconds...

So you can SU and JO?

I never look in the mirror once I have my gear on. I'm in too big a hurry to get out and ski.

Look in the mirror once you have your gear on.

She looks like a mom who skis.

I think we stayed at Snow Lake Lodge couple times. And yeah, it is like the lower deck of the Titanic 😂 One time I was there with my daughter when she was16 and the people upstairs started having loud sex, I mean it didn't even sound human. I think I pounded on the ceiling and told them to knock it off.

Yeeeeehaaaaaa. I will be there tomorrow. Just thought the ride home would be a little too risky today

You would have a 14" ruler

Eh so what, we'll be on that tomorrow morning here.

Perfect morning corduroy.

Another good Pow-Day Wednesday! We were talking on the lift today about how many pow days there have been this year. I looked back at my stats and have 7 days of 3" or more at Blue, not including the 8" storm that they groomed to perfection the next day. 2 days of about 2". so 9 days at Blue, and a 20" day at Belleayre. It's been a good season.
