I decided to dust off my touring skis and head up to Camelback this morning. I packed the car with skis and my dog, Birmy, and we were off to go find some snow. When I got to Camelback, I was unsure of the uphill policy. I called during the week and I was told I needed to buy a lift ticket (turns out, I don’t think you do). After walking around with Birms and letting him roll in the snow, ski patrol told me that I could skin up Laurel Glade to Birches and didn’t mention anything about the lift ticket. I was told that the uphill route changes depending on the time of the day based on crowds and to check-in with ski patrol before you go up. I put Birms in the car and I went up for my first lap. It was about 1 mile and 675 vertical feet. It was a sweaty mile, so I went to check on the dog and decided to leave my jacket in the car for the next lap. It was my first time touring in over a year, so still need to get faster and fitter for spring mountains but it took about 30 minutes while telling the beginners they need to put down the lever before stepping down and helping a few little shredders up. Wish I had a GoPro though – not for the gnarly views or conditions but when I got to the top, I was breathing heavy and had my airpods in. I was near the top of Birches and saw a man frantically waving at me. I pulled out an airpod and asked him if he was okay. He goes, “Are you okay? Do you know you’re going the wrong way?!” Overall, solid workout and would definitely do it again.

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing! I got a resort tour in yesterday as well.

Nice morning on the hill...Mostly lapped NM/DW......Switchback .....Sidewinder.... Can't believe I fell gettin off the lift....Haven't done that in like 20 years....Felt like such a fuckin noob... Pics to prove I was there....

Hey All, I’m back from a fun session at Blue mountain. Temperatures went from about 20 to 40 degrees under mostly sunny sky’s. In the house were Atomic Jeff, JLaw, NMSki, PARidge, slim, Schifdawg, Indiggio, Salty, JFDan, West Chester homeys, Ryan, Mute, MBike Mike, Toast and many more. Second civilian six pack..I skied goofy conditions on challenge first run mad Katie Perry hot and cold, sidewinder was nice the root rollers were tame, Main Street and lazy had fresh manmade and the bumpers were having a blast..i skied a couple bumps..nightmare to dreamweaver was decent and Switchback was worth a couple visits..dark and smooth. Parking lot was fun had a few beers and snacks galore now gotta shower and wear a polo shirt and go into work and sell a tombstone..remember kids no discount for after hours appointments..JADIP

I’ll just leave this here

Best day of the year at Blue for me so far! Sidewinder, NMDW and Barney’s were my favorites today. Brewskis and cheese balls were nice as well. Felt good to have some fun in the sun!

One of best days this year. Good stuff. Saw this gem gettin on the lift. Snow blades. One pole in right hand. GoPro on selfie stick in left. Avy gear in backpack. Probably sponsored.

Top 5 day today. Not a cloud in the sky, great conditions all around.

Camelback was the last mountain I would think has an uphill policy/designated trail.

The next storm will arrive early on Monday morning. This storm is much more exciting because we’ll see colder air, a more favorable wind direction from the west-northwest, the jet stream will be lurking around (which can cause sneaky-deep snow totals) and we should see snow for an extended 48-hour period. Expect 4-8 inches of snow from Monday through Monday night and into Tuesday. For potential powder days, keep your eye on Monday and Tuesday. Maybe we’ll squeak out Wednesday morning as another time to find pow before this storm ends.

Top 5 day for me as well. Snow and people watching were awesome

Got about 8 gallons of sap to boil up this week.

That’s awesome. I like the idea of touring...I know there are lazy people here who don’t understand the point, but I certainly want to get after it.

Awesome! Well done 👍

Do you know there's a new invention called a chairlift? Just kidding! Way to get after it! That sounds way too exhausting for me.

I bet this thread will surpass my Stowe stoke thread in popularity, which has 411 replies and 10,463 views. Maybe I'll buy United wifi tomorrow just to re-read it.

Fun ski day. Weather good.

I did. He was talking to mBike at the top

Today was rad. That party mix looks delicious. I know everyone is very upset I won't be there tomorrow, even JFDan. At least I had a badass exit today blasting Snoop Doggy Dog while sporting my EuroShades. Got to hear some funny stories from @GrilledSteezeSandwich TFTI.

Today was le tits !!! Snow was great, not a cloud in the sky and snacks were on point for a non walt event. Can't wait to do it all again tomorrow

here you go ridge! https://joovv.com/blogs/joovv-blog/red-light-therapy-men-sexual-health

I love a good maple syrup. For Christmas my BIL got me a bottle of bourbon barrel aged Vermont maple syrup that was aged in bourbon barrels that were used to age Hill Farmstead beers. I don't know if it should go in the food thread, beer thread, or maple syrup thread, but I have been putting it on my oatmeal in the morning and it is divine.

Bacon soaked in maple syrup, the best. Have to be careful it doesn’t burn when cooking it.

This is the official 2020 Steamboat stoke thread! I'm going with @enjoralas and @pops from Sunday 2/23 through Friday 2/28. We plan to ski 4 days in a row, and the Champagne Powder© is gonna be deeeeeeeeeeeep. Stoke levels are off the chart!

I’m excited for y’all!

This is getting good.

One of my karaoke songs. The video is so rad.

Sounds like you’ve spent some time in a tanning salon.

UV Rays can be good for you. Exposure in certain areas for approximately 10 minutes a day can go a looooong way.

Justin was also in the house.

Stats got updated. https://www.skibluemt.com/winter-sports/skiing-snowboarding/winter-leaderboard/?fbclid=IwAR06SiZwUS03Dx9JrCJajc9Hae24Ajf_dXcMkNyEVphE5sR81CArRa6rrNA

I didn’t see you there.

Just be be mindful of the "U Turn" off ramp after the overpass when going home...or else you'll actually end up in Nork.

That sounds delicious.

The Parking Spot Haines

Next week is looking up. My last week of pto so I think I'm sending it. Message for details.

Parking Spot

The eleventeen year olds like it..

@GrilledSteezeSandwich This is great! Enjoy your Salty free Sunday thanks to @enjoralas!!!

Yes

Because you’re a boomer or because you like bumps?

Pro Tip: Best of Both worlds Not that it's even remotely in play this year, but start at the top of the white lightning headwall and duck into the woods and pop back out at the bottom of boomer.

I love Blue Mountain even more now.

And get an in-focus picture posted here.

Stunning and extremely stoke inducing pic of Crested Butte from their Instagram page.
