Skinny skis (with wax) in mashed potater bumps is tons of fun too!

Pumped to meet you and talk about bump skiing and RTM's

Those Blizzards would make for some great bump skis! "They don't make them like they used to, you know?"

Their pecan pies are fantastic. Just got a mini one for pi day a few weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Conditions are gonna be good tomorrow..should start semi firm with overnight temperatures around freezing, then snow will cycle to corn and then mershed PerTerters. Leave your facemask at home.

I’d take the iron. Planning to learn to wax my own shit this off season

I'll be there! Maybe tomorrow afternoon, too since it'll be too wet to mountain bike.

Around the mtn today. Fav runs were NMDW, Main st., and Sidewinder. Weirdly there were icy spots in amongst the soft snow/-not ice I guess but compacted snow that feels like ice.

Its gonna be the last day for me, last day the snow has to be ragged. The more sketchy it is the better. Pound beers get lit, let'r rip.

QFT...Its surprising that Salty has a low threshold for pain when it comes to variable skiing conditions but rides a bike 100 miles at a time only fueled by Captains wafers

That little girl is going to need therapy or some kinda counseling after witnessing that spectacle up close. I think she's crying.

I know who has the most likes. It’s the only reason why I post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like all of the roots

Everyone who's anyone will be there

Ah Salty, why limit your fun? The mountain is open, lifts will be running, and it wil be sunny. I may have to put in my last 10 hour day!

I'll get a day at Blue and hopefully 2 more lift served at Smuggs. Then it all depends on the remaining snowpack. I should be able to hike at least 7 more days before the end of may.

Fatter skis (with wax) will help. I love blasting through the soft warm spring snow.

I'm glad they are keeping snowtubing open. Cosmic tubing in a t shirt sounds like my idea of a perfect saturday night.

You can't when you don't try (and go down a different trail). Seriously, ski with people who ski better than you and watch what they do and you'll improve fast. Not a bad plan. There's some truth to this. Keep the tips pointed down the fall line, when something gets in your way, turn.

I'll be there, but short session aka toast style.

May do the afternoon sesh again, got some things done in the morning and had blast bashing bumps in the sun Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even if they were open to July I'd still be salty when they close but I'll try to remember mid Feb when it looked like they may not make march 15th.

Salty, the best way to get better at skiing mashed potatoes is to ski more mashed potatoes. Time on snow is like time on the saddle.

You will come to love it once your skills/time on snow increases.

Tomorrow will be way better. This morning was the second time this season i took off a friday to go skiing after 2 days of rain. Pretty much the same conditions both times, which i really thought would be better. Some soft snow, some soft snow with ice chunks mixed in, some ice patches, and some straight up water logged snow, and yeah, some bare spots. If they groomed last night, or this morning conditions would have been significantly better, but i think they groomed tuesday(?) night after the rain. Eaf should stay far away from Challange, that might be interesting tomorrow, and probably off limits next weekend. So much snow on Razors and NMDW.

It’s gonna be your kind of snow tomorrow morning. You might want to come to the lot at 845 and keep Toast company while he’s debooting. Might be the last time you see him until the Matt Edge karaoke/BDAY party in May

I'm a woman of leisure; nothing can ruin my zen! I was just surprised

The snow will set up tonight..the groomers will push the snow around into a cord carpet and the sun will come out tomorrow.

Ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's open ended. Lately, a month or more in VT, then back in PA for a few weeks. Depends on what's going on. I'm planning on going back on the 13th for at least a coupla weeks to ski and start rehabbing the kitchen. Mostly moving stuff out of the cabinets, taking some more measurements, maybe start taking out the old cabinets, doing some electrical work and figuring out the plumbing for the new stuff. I plan to spend most of the spring and summer up there. Congrats on the move to VT!

ok

I like this new root significantly more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I miss him too sometimes. Drunken Root was a lot fatter and way less active.

Hands forward ass up that’s the way we like to tuck..Salty go ahead of us that way you can ski with us for a second or two when we whiz by you.

Super short for me tomorrow. 45 minutes. Gotta be in Bethlehem by 9:30. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice have fun with the strippers...

I’m sure Salty will do the pondskim on his RTM powder skis.

This thread is awesome. Full of SallyWin!

My condo cost considerably less than a Sprinter van! I'm considering a Tacoma with a camper shell, though!

Are you moving up there? MAGIC is a good mountain vibe wise and has struggled in the shadows of Stratton and Okemo. They have better advanced terrain than either. They finally got a decent infusion of cash last year with new ownership and focused on fixing/restoring/expanding the snowmaking system, I think they picked up some new snow fans. The black lift is finally running. A lot of folks are diehards there like any other hill, and prolly had one of the best seasons there this year. The co-op collapsed, there was some bad blood with Sullivan, but I think there wasn't any evidence of misappropriation of the money. I could be completely wrong about that. TGR and AZ have relatively active threads for Magic, and the douchebag:good natured ratio is very low.

All the bumpers will be up at K for the mogul challenge. Saturday will be my last day at blue this season. Was hoping they would go one more weekend [emoji22]

Ascutney Outdoors just built a lodge with a donated building frame and volunteer labor. They have a huge rope tow and a grooming truck and are putting in a t-bar soon. I hope to volunteer with them; it's an amazing resource for local families who want to get their kids skiing without going broke from lift prices. Brownsville is a happening place these days; even the general store is re-opening. VT mtb festival is at Ascutney this year, too.

No that ended awhile back I believe. Sally you need a touring rig. Ascutney died because the people that owned it kinda sucked and owned the now defunct Blue Marsh Area, PA trash. That's nice because the lifts don't run but the trails are still clean.

Thanks, @Schif ! Evidently I was a textbook example of "occupational burnout" right before I quit work, so I guess I need a little time off, and I'm super grateful that I'm healthy and that I could swing it financially. I definitely downsized my living space but expanded everything else! I plan to be at Blue Saturday; hope to get to say hello-goodbye to many PASRs!

Midweek Okemo for $279 and Magic/Freedom for around 400 I think. Not bad, eh? I don't plan to be working full time!

I own 1/1100000000th of that place. Magic is one of the coolest spots to ski anywhere, steep and if you got the skills you can go ski Timberline
