I got some things. Not sure why there are two of them, guess one is a spare.

Post this again and you are banned. One day for each time you have posted it.

In Colorado I always rent a mid sized SUV like a Nissan Rogue or Hyundai Sante Fe and to try to upsell me they always ask if I’m going into the mountain. I say yes and they say because the car is only four cylinders. The one time they offered to upgrade me to an all wheel drive BMW but I didn’t want people to think I was a douchebag.

Humidity is probably the biggest hurdle for making snow in this area. Cloud cover is never great, and when its going from 36 to 25 overnight, you have to take into consideration how long it will take to get that low, and how long it will stay in the snowmaking zone. They might be able to freshen things up a little, which any little bit will help until we get to a nice cold snap which will hopefully happen around Wednesday of next week.

Mount Snow and the rest of Vermont getting puked on right now. 19” as of this morning. Super jealous.

New snow toys arrived this afternoon... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fiestas blow my mind. It's as if someone said, "Boy this Focus is just too damn big and roomy, are we making cars for giants now? Let's take it down a notch."

"Because when we open, it'll be for the season" lol, announced opening on Friday with Coolmoor, King Tut, Meadows and Glade. Seems like a thin lineup for all that snow stockpiling. Any bets on whether they'll follow Blue and over deliver?

The 2nd week in December is looking good for some non-stop snow making if the long range forecast holds. Would likely see the 6pack open late that weekend on the 8/9th or sometime mid-week. Hopefully it holds.

Hey All, I’m back from day 2 of the Blue mountain ski season. I arrived wicked early at 720am ready to get my pass straightened out. In the house were JFDan, NMSki, Root, Atomic Jeff, Slim, Indiggio, Rodney, Tarponhead, PARidge, Mrs. Snowbunski and many others. Temperatures were in the upper 20s rising into the thirties under overcast sky’s. When I went to make sure my pass would work they said they couldn’t help me until after I was denied at the ticket check. Opening bell atomic jeff out front..heavyset middle aged skier and me so I needed to bullet tuck vista to pass gravity assisted mass and succeeded then flew down midway to lower Main nice snow first civilian chair again. Then all of Main Street..some lipstick on pig and Barney’s bumps are seeded. Then come around to midway to lower Main pass still wasn’t working so went inside. Guy in front of me took forever to get pass straight I think they had me as last name first and needed a supervisor to resolve. Then pass worked after being out on the slopes woo hoo.. The chute was open today and was spicy I didn’t ski it X-ing also open base depths are impressive They have enough snow to make it through a couple rainstorms and some seasonal warmth Maybe a few snowmaking changes this next week i was behind the pack by a minute or two even saw all the PASRs on come around from the lift finally caught up to them and then skied a little more and then went to the parking lot for beer and pretzels...was sort of misty in the lot..I’ll be back tomorrow for opening should be hero snow. Today’s snow wasn’t the best because they blew wet on top of existing snow but I’ve skied a ton worse and it really wasn’t that challenging..sort of soft boilerplate in spot easy to get an edge. This is bonus skiing and it’s great...pictures to come from Root later!!!!

Too humid, or they are intentionally doing it to piss you off would be my guess.

I hate chrome, I hate chrome bumpers. I hate chrome moldings, etc. Chrome can kiss my ass. Most of that is due to the fact that chromed items are essentially “non repairable” and need to be replaced. I can thank my job for that. Fixing a re-chroming things is now a thing of the past.

Gotta like tax write offs..

Have this too. Chevy, Dodge and Ford for us.

Volvo’s aren’t German.

I wonder if Fords gonna blow snow tonight

2.7 Ecoboost is a v6

My coworker had the 2.7 ecoboost (it's a TT V6)...it was pretty fast for a pickup truck, way faster than my other coworkers 4.6L in his slightly older F150. The 3.5 ecoboost must be a pretty quick truck.

I don’t have an Explorer, I have the 3.5 ecoboost in my F150

i saw Whiteface was getting snowed on pretty good too. 40 degrees and cloudy here. Awesome.

I like this!

I have a few friends that hunt who never see deer. I tell them if they want to bag a deer, all they need to do is let me drive them around at night (in their car of course) and they will have one in no time.

Looks like we might luck out this weekend. Rain isn’t supposed to begin until Saturday afternoon and should be finished by opening on Sunday.

the fiesta only exists in north america for tax loopholes they get for a certain average of fuel efficient vehicles

Hopefully Boulder can lay down some snow this week...

Took this one yesterday AM before the mountain opened. Was some cool fog in the valley. Looked clear at Camelback...could almost see their massive whales from Blue.

New sled...

Right. I’m going to sue.

I think I’ll have the only pair with the orange Rossignol FKS bindings 🙂

your telling me if any other mountain (CB in particular) did this you wouldn't say anything? blue did something blatantly wrong and ya'll defend it lol

Welcome to PASR! You’ll hate it here.

We have mountains opening up every weekend, trip reports being posted, media being posted and just had a fantastic "beautiful spring day" in NOVEMBER(!!!) Yet the only thread with any traction is a fucking thread created by an inside troll and somebody bitching about nonsense. WTF??

No, because they operating a business generating millions of annual revenue competing with other such businesses, and because most people would believe photos of a ski area on a ski area web page were shot at the ski area. It is more like if I had photoshopped a stock photo of Paul McCartney holding a bass onto my album cover.

Jack Frost should photo shop 'Jackson Frost' on the tram and use that!

He skied Blue yesterday!

Let’s keep in perspective that salty created a whole message board, complete with fake accounts, threads and posts.

wait wait wait...you don't know what an IP address is, but you use a VPN to...hide your real IP address? Give it up Salty.

Neither did I! I don't even know what retinence means or whatever this troll said.

Barney's was quite skiable right from the get-go. Surprised they set them, but pretty easy for bumping the trail count. A bit chunky from the cat tracks, but they broke down quick and with the warming temps, they skied in nicely. Hopefully the rain doesn't take the troughs down to the dirt.

Fake news! These accusations are false. What is meant by "IP"? I dont use big words like "newfangled" or "shill".

The troll is Salty. He slipped up and posted from an IP he's used before. Sorry to rain on everyone's parade.

Why not we got plenty of food

Don’t feed the troll(s)

Maybe he is the manager of another ski area?

This has nothing to do with this thread, but i always get a laugh at this.....

I gave GSS a shopping bag for his new car and installed it over the gear selector for him. We will see how long this lasts.

Doubtful. But if so, it’s probably a shit heap already.

That's some legit snow they put down

Really good to be back at Blue. Crowds weren't bad at all. First few Come Around to Lower Main runs were lots of fun. Upper Main not so much. Normal for when blue opens a run. Could care less. Had a blast. It's November 24th and I got 2 good days in.
