Girls went up to the 12,313' peak, did a black diamond in a back bowl and lots of tree runs this AM. Eating lunch now before heading back out to do the ambassador-led mountain tour at 1pm. They are awesome skiers

They will certainly be game for the double blacks at Blue after this They really pull their weight and make it easy, and are real brave and dont hold me back much. It is a joy to share the activities I love with them. Just hope they remember and are willing to wait for me a couple years from now when they blow me away as skiers.

Beautiful sunrise run in Jacobsburg State Park before opening presents. I was the only one out there.

TLDR.

First day out. About 30 degrees and a couple inches of snow overnight. Pretty quiet at opening, got some nice runs on Challenge, TBolt and Rivershot. No cover on Floyd's yet. Starting to clear up a little.

Looks nice out there.

It’s great that you got them out there. Most guys in your situation would never get their kids into such pain in the ass activity to do with kids.

Thursday

Ok.

Yes

If the boot fits... Merry Christmas SaltyAnus!

Merry Christmas salty.

For sure we can be thankful that the snowmaking ponds are full.

Blue is blowing snow again on open terrain and likely will again tonight into tomorrow morning..

OK. Merry Christmas to you too. No more likes for you!

You’re such a retard.

I'll have to get out west some day, hopefully Steeze will invite me... that means I'm never going, buahahah.

Mountain Plaza hotel location is ideal and outdoor hot tub is real nice but room itself has seen better days. Small bath with lame tub and hole in door where hook once was. Off to check out Xmas festivities with Santa leading a torchlight parade down mountain and kids parading with glowsticks (though my girls deemed themselves too mature to participate in that). Been flying into DIA enough that I have a fav restaurant there I hit every time - Mesa Grill

Even the groomers had about 3" coating of untracked powdery snow on top of a firm but not icy surface, and it was coming down enough and uncrowded enough that you could get that surface through most of the day, particularly along the sides. It was about as ideal conditions as you could get. Girls made lots of turns in the trees alongside the trails too. Girls will go higher up and onto blues tomorrow, but the blacks here are too much for them. In PA they are good on blacks but so far largely avoid double blacks.

Today was fun. Good skiing with you all again and consuming some beverages in anticipation of the pow day!

Connecting out of Cuba?

Thanks Atomic, you too, but I prefer Salt Face which is what Toast called me. No more likes for you!

Nice pics! Since I presume you mostly ski groomers when you're with your daughters, how does the snow quality compare out west to Vermont and Pa? For me the only reason to go west is change in scenary and more vert, since I dont ski perder.
