Best day of the season for me so far.... Loving life Skiing better than I have in a very long time....getting some confidence back I guess. Challenge is chalky Main street is money and I hate main street. Whoop whoop... Damn I missed this shit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Arrived at 8:20 AM to 18° and sunny skies. Saw TP4, VTMark and bethlehem Ford guy in the house. Got the second chair up and went to Challenge first. Some cookies and some uneven grooming but I’m happy it’s open. Hit that that twice and then went to Main Street. Main Street was a perfect groomer. Smooth, dry snow. Lazy and Paradise we’re also really nice but Main Street was my ROTD. New trails open for me included Challenge, Lower Park, and the crossover under the 6 pack from Home Stretch to Lower Park. Blowing was on NMDW, Lower Sidewinder, Switchback, and a couple spots on open trails. Razors was still being pushed out with 2 cats on it. Skied until 10 and now I’m off to work. I’ll be back at it Saturday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty decent tonight. Always better than sitting at home reading about bugs.

Hey All, I’m back from a fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot around 635pm and phillycore was just finishing up and also in the house were Atomic Jeff, Shadows, PARidge and MBIke mike along with about 20 buses. Temperatures were in the upper 20s with increasing clouds and moderate winds. Challenge was pretty slick, Main Street was pretty nice, lazy mile was as crazy as ever and paradise was good snow and no SP3000 action. The last two runs or snow it was snowing and I said that it probably wasn’t sticking in the A which atomic Jeff found funny...had a few parking lot beers and ready for some weather this weekend..JADIP we jamming..clock is off by an hour it came that way In March it will be the correct time

Good snow tonite....beer time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ski 2 live is the official wet blanket of PASR.

No it makes you a pussy.

You really are an idiot.

Fun night. Decent pretty much throughout with some slick spots to keep things interesting (crowds also kept things interesting). Snow cannons were on and in full force. We're only days away from Razors, NMDW and Switchback all being open. Exciting times!

I thought main street, lazy and paradise were straight money today. Challenge was awesome for the simple fact that it was open. Best conditions out of the 7 days I've been there..... Conditions were on a diet and Sugar Free Perfect...so I don't get the diabeeeeeeetis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, I was thinking, “move your fucking ass”, but mama didn’t raise me like that.

Get a room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lots of busses Just went inside to thaw out a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Holy shit. Hits home when those are the lines you ski all the time. Posted this video years ago, but this is where the slide occurred:

Thanks for the report Mute...the crossover under the 6 pack is a great run...so many nooks and crannies to explore. Woo woo for lower park...been enough cross country skiing this season.

Makes sense...seems like the Jerry move...

Main Street was ROTD. Challenge was decent and I enjoyed it. Raceway was garbage

You were very polite to that snow boarder up top.

Racers ready, lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Mount Mik Weather Forecasters are calling for 4-6” with a thick coating of ice, followed by rain and a rapid freeze. Tubing should be prime on Monday.

I was up late morning, and it was excellent. A whole school of Hasidic Jews arrived just as I got there, so that was fun.

You leaving? Go to bonn I'll buy you a beer before heading up tonight

This thread seems like it got good. Got some readin' to do when I finish up work...

Hayata will be happy to hear the crossover is open.

Nice I haven’t seen Mauser since like 2010

I think Ryan was up this morning too!

You never get drunk?? What about when you went with your pal to see Bruce Springfield and you split a steak and got a good night kiss?? New page what what.

I'll be up later Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So does a DUI

Kyle skis blue like once every three years. He’s irrelevant

You’re welcome and anytime.

It happens so rarely, the bird was the last one I can think of. It really means its a light news day but Eurp got crazy snow, 99 I think was the super crazy year when half of small mtn towns were buried.

I’ve been away from this place for a week and it looks 100x better. They are pushing out Razors/back, lower park, Central Park, and blowing on NMDW, Switchback, and still parts of Razors along with other random fan guns. Challenge is a nice addition and WidowMaker is open as well. I guess the only things not being targeted right now are Sidewinder and Lower Sidewinder? Conditions were decent this morning compared to other Blue Mountain days. Challenge was cookies but then it was closed for a few race team elites. Everything else was 7/10 for grooming and snow quality. Flurries were flying all morning and it was cloudy. Called it quits at 10:00 before I have to head in to work. I’ll probably be up Friday morning next. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll be up tonight around 645ish...I hope I can ski all 26 trails...maybe tomorrow morning as well depending on how much snow falls.

Leaving work at 12 ish Probably 2-3 until maybe 6-7 Might hit up a brewery on the way back home.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lower park looks goooooooooooood, cant wait to ride it. Also, the riders right rail line looks awesome with rails that should be challenging enough to keep the noobs off of them and ruining the lips.

The forecast is getting weaker and weaker. "Snow and ice accumulating 5 to 8 inches". Sounds like snow with a crunchy crust on top. Salty's RTMs would rock in conditions like this.

What about Root??

I wasn't so lucky then. For me this year it always had the most amount of dirty sugar often even with ground showing. It's a windy narrow trail for newbies with the most aggressive speed monitoring on the mountain, and it shows. People are continuously scraping it and piling up mounts of snow. But then again, I'm typically there at night, mornings could be a whole different animal. And yesterday it was surprisingly on par with the other trails.

You make a lot of unsolicited jokes about doug. There something you want to get off your chest?

Top 15 deepest snowpacks in the US. Smuggs is #4. Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.................. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2018/12/07/ski-resoerts-with-the-most-snow/

Is that snowmaking on an open trail in PA? What?

Good one Indiggio!!!

i am probably riding a train tomorrow. kind of disappointed its at night so i cant really have a TR with pics

They should've just increased ticket prices by $3 and nobody would've even noticed...

So, JFBB did confirm that vouchers bought before Jan 1, will not have a surcharge. New ticket sales will have the $3 surcharge. They stopped communicating with me when i asked why other mountains serviced by PPL were not issuing a surcharge.

If given the opportunity to pay a few extra bucks and stay on site for a wedding I'm doing it every time. Getting bused to and from a venue sucks.

5 ways down now. Nice

Blue had more new snow then Alta, sure. Did Alta have more snow? Sure. We met up with Ryan at Alta today for some turns. He gave us a rowdy tour of the place. We sidestepped/traversed all the way out to Eddie’s High Nowhere/East Greeley bowl which had variable conditions at the bottom. We also skied Spiney Chutes in Catherine’s which was heavy, but soft snow. Towards the end of our day, we saw someone skiing down East Baldy with no other tracks to be seen. Up the mountain we went. 15 minutes later we made some great turns through a chute that lead to some glorious wind buffed pow. Ryan and I look the same in photos. I have the brighter blue pants.

The ski gods continue to deliver for me. Today was a bluebird sunny day, with amazing groomers. I did one more hike up to Juarez and one up to west blitz and both were soft skied out powder. Not bad at all. What made today amazing were rope drops on the entire front side steeps. I skied a top to bottom al’s run in untouched powder. Today was the first day it opened this season. Mind blowing for me. I did that twice which was totally exhausting. Skied a little with my kids in the afternoon after everything was skied out and my legs were cooked. Great ski trip.
