I’m working from home today and Birm’s farts are toxic after a Sunday in the parking lot. we got in a bit of trouble and don’t recommend it ... but we cruised down Burma Road at the end of the day

hey all now that the season is definitely done for me with everyone closed, i just wanted to say thanks for the warm reception and some grate times. i bought a season pass for this year not even knowing if i would use it. turns out that i ended up having what were probably the best winter months ever. never thought that the parking lot of blue could provide so many memories (or outrageous food). have a great offseason, i'm already desperately looking forward to next winter.

Yeah I agree...this is my first full season at Blue and I'm gonna miss hanging out with you assholes in the parking lot every weekend for sure. Before I got last year's Montage pass (and then Blue), I was only getting 5 days or so on the mountain, plus a Colorado trip most years. Now I feel like I'm more into snowboarding again, and even if the conditions sucked, the parking lot never disappointed

Got home a few hours ago. Major major thanks to Barb for being so awesome. Always a pleasure skiing with you and hanging out Barb...Thanks again for everything! Was a great time. Crested Butte is next level good. I don't know that I've ever seen a place with so much steep terrain and we didn't even see all of it. The North Face stuff is essentially a mountain side full of seemingly endless extreme terrain. You can go way out there too. The stuff under the peak was just as insane. Not to mention the powder runs in paradise bowl which were pretty unforgettable. Not sure what all the closures means for my ski season yet but if the turns I made this past week were it, I'm good.

Your time share available? Asking for @JFskiDan

Ditto...what a great trip, except of course for the obvious incident. Crested Butte is really cool. Very chill place, low crowds so it skis great all day. Still have some exploring to do there. Its a pretty easy place to get to flying into Gunnison and staying in town. Its just a quick bus ride to the mountain, and everything in town is accessible by walking. Big thanks to Barb for everything she did for us. Cant believe it was really 5 years ago since we were out. I am content ending my season on this note.

It’s like letting go of a wild fire hose. Gotta keep a grip.

I wash my penis after I pee, because it was clean before my dirty hands touched it. It had been safe and sound covered by clean underwear until pulling it out with possibly filthy hands that have been touching rails, handling money, etc.

Is this a GSS troll ? Who was rajeev or whatever ? Just come to Blue sometime or something and say hi, if you bring good beer we'll probably like you LOL

Today was awesome. Wish I could've stayed longer. Food was insanely good and snow was soft and enjoyable although not too fast

I had a nice day. Snow was firm early on, but didn’t get too soft until around 2 pm. Skied from 930-415. We tailgated, no where near what folks do at Blue. I really needed a last day since I worked last 3 days Blue was open. Camelback announced about 15 minutes before closing today they would not be open tomorrow. LOTS of kids there today, the park was a shit show

Yes I know..sometimes I wake up with a big penis but it goes away after I pee.

It helps to have a big penis.

JLAW divide 72 by the interest rate/inflation rate/growth rate and you’ll get how many years it takes for an investment or price to double. 2% is 36 years..6% is 12 years. It’s called the power of 72..

How do you feel about the 1.5 to the banks ? I'm not a trump fan by any means but a national closure of sorts is one of those things that is so easy to say but vastly more complicated than anyone person or organization can even comprehend. How far down the essential workers do you go ? It's a global economy at some level everyone is essential. Gotta have power, water, trucking, mail, banking etc etc etc etc and they rely on a giant web of things that also rely on even more things. You want the cheeto in chief deciding that ? A M&A guy by most definitions is not essential nor is the local pizza shop but economics makes for strange bed fellows. Its not the case that you can cut off even one little sliver and not have ripple effects through all the other sectors so even the idea of what's essential is alot harder than just I know it when I see it. What's your enforcement mechanism ? Rolling out the national guard is extremely dangerous, armed soldiers patrolling streets is bad juju, now add into the mix people that are bored as shit and home for 10 days straight and oh boy could you take a 1 and make it into a 100. The police ? Do the math, in every country on earth that has ever existed you rely entirely upon 99.9 of people doing what their told and if you piss them off even if its for totally justifiable reasons you risk them figuring out there aren't enough people to do the enforcing. Law's and law enforcement are largely illusionary. What about the economics of the whole thing ? Does killing 10x as many people over 8 months because the economy took a shitter better than a virus doing it ? What about all the people that live paycheck to paycheck, hourly wages workers ? Going to work for them is essential to feed their families and what not. Five below being open isn't essential but for the person that works there it very well maybe. What about all the people that are in business that rely upon steady weekly income ? Chefs for example, restaurant is closed, rent is due, still gotta eat but you can't collect funemployment and that shit takes weeks to process anyways, plus is the state worker essential ? What about the random who issues the banking card or processes the payments ? You can in the process of trying to prevent deaths by corona cause x1000 deaths if you stall the economy. These are difficult questions that are unprecedented in alot of ways. The president, any president would have a fucking hard time with this question, this president just does whatever he thinks makes him popular, he's mostly ignorant and is prone to reactionary behavior so even if the argument is he should have I'm not sure how relevant it is. I get the hospital bed math and projections from Italy, from a pure conceptual point of reference I agree with what your saying but you entirely discount the most important part. How ? Its like deep water horizon, everybody bitches when they spill it, almost nobody has any idea how it works, even less people have any ideas on how to improve the process and even less people than that can see that the only fucking reason they are down there drilling and spilling is so that everyone else can do the fucking bitching in the first place. The real answer, the real actual answer is to not build a shitty ass society in the first place but that ship sailed and sank long before we were even alive.

Hard to believe another ski season has come and gone. I’m not going to bring up the current obvious topic, for I just wanted to let all of you know that there are people out there that look to this site for comfort and laughs and the daily general antics are a great distraction from daily life. Big shout out to Steeze. Someday I’d like to meet up with you guys. You’re all kind of celebrities to me, as I’ve been lurking this site for probably over a decade. Anyway, thanks guys. Stay safe and keep kicking ass. Maybe next season I’ll see you on the hill. Peace

Thanks, but I'm actually quite gangster and from the 'hood. I remember in November 2017 when you thought I was a Teton Maggot Gravity Forum super Troll. Turns out I'm just a normal everyday Troll.

That dog is particular is extra awesome......always better to ask for forgiveness than permission !

You don't wash your hands after going to the bathroom and then put them in bags of chips in the parking lot at Blue.

greak peak is still open as of today

It's to prevent public gatherings.

Fuck it then. Was a great season. Come on warm weather. Someone bump the summer vacation thread.

It should be national.

Good. Drink a beer at home or your hotel house. It will be cheaper anyway.

Good thing it wasn’t mashed potatoes...

Few more pics...great end to the season. I'd be in for a beer meet up or something in the offseason. And if anyone wants to kayak or fish just let me know. I have a few extra kayaks people could use

Looks like a great day to end on! Sorry I couldn't contribute @toast21602's toast or toast you all to a great season! Hopefully I'll ski some of you during the off months!

Just finished up maple syruping. Season ended a little early. 44 gallons of sap gave about 80 ounces of syrup, about a 70 to 1 ratio. 65 pounds of propane later: (Used some leftover labels from 5 years ago)

Damn. Glad to hear that you are okay right now. I've had plenty of concussions myself so I know how all that goes. They definitely are two great guys and of course this just confirms that. Good thing they were there with you. Props to @JFskiDan and @RidgeRacer 🙌🙌🙌

It was a great week with the boys! I need to post this so everyone knows how awesome these 2 are. Yesterday was looking great with about 3” of fresh. We started on Red Lady lift and were traversing over to Paradise lift first run of the day. Started out groomed but on the first head wall after making a few turns something caught my left ski and turned me around backwards. I was totally out of control and fell downhill and landed on the back of my head. When the stars stopped spinning over my head I looked around and saw one pole 10’ above me. I managed to get up and grab that but did not see the other. Finally saw the tip of the strap peeking out from the snow. I slowly skied down and Domenic was waiting for me and Dan had gone back up to look for me. I was a total mess and he got me over to a picnic table. He asked if I needed medical attention and I wasn’t thinking straight. I said I wasn’t sure and was just going to go back to the house and end my ski day. He called over a patroller who assessed me and looked at my helmet and saw it was cracked. He called for back up and they wrapped me in the taco and put me in the sled. Diagnosis is a concussion. When the guys got me back to the house I told them I was going to rest and they should go back and ski. They insisted on packing up the house and driving me back to Boulder. They both took such good care of me. I couldn’t even walk without holding on to one of them. And they both got to see me ugly cry. Doctor said concussions make people emotional, women cry and men get very angry. Girl next to me at clinic also had a concussion and she couldn’t stop crying either. Walking unassisted today, still dizzy with headache and ribs on one side are real sore, so I guess I fell on them too. So a huge thank you and hugs to Dan and Domenic!

Some pics from this morning...

Another very nice day in the books. Some light snow then sun early on. Barb demo'd skis and she ripped in them. After lunch it started snowing pretty hard and a few inches fell on the mountain, at least up top. After lunch at Butte 66 (impossible burger pic below) Barb headed back to the condo and Dan and I hit Forest back to silver queen to Paradise Bowl where Dan found a nice stash...it's like I was skiing with a local. After another run on Paradise we hit international to the base and called it a day. Another open to almost close sesh where we definitely experienced more of the legendary Crested Butte terrain under the Peak and over on the North face. It's definitely as advertised. Suns out now but supposed to snow later. More pics below...

Day 30 for me. I demoed some skis today as I have definitely outgrown my current pair. They skied well and felt like I needed less effort to ski them fast. I wanted to try another pair after lunch but they were out. Gonna try to see if I can bolt them down in the next 2 days that we have left to ski here. Did a lot of groomers today and hit some of the blacks off Silver Queen but none of the intense stuff the guys did. Was another good ski day. Only took one picture.

One night stand slippin out while you're in the bathroom?

It should be nationwide.

Look at his post history. He’s never been to blue mountain and has a thread asking if there’s something wrong with his medulla Oblongotta

Thanks Gretsky. Since I'm famous now, I'm auctioning my RTMs, autographed by me, with bids starting at $10,000.

This blows my mind. Why close a park? Being outside in the fresh air and not near too many people is probably one of the safer places to be.

I’m enjoying this thread. Thanks for posting. When I see pictures of deserted ski areas, I always think about the fun that was had there.

That was part of the buffet on the hill

Yes and he also brought biscuits and gravy..

Should be another good day. A few inches fell overnight with another 1 or 2 inches forecasted for this morning before potentially seeing some sun later on.

Flat iron. A little rough to get into, real nice snow in the middle, concrete at the bottom with a long up and down traverse to get out. First pick looks flat as fuck, but its not. Dom and i are debating if this was banana or flat iron. Take your pick.

Nice! Sounds kinky

JFSkiDan the man rippin up on banana.

I completely agree with the decision. Social distancing is so important for preventing the spread. I'm sure there are experts here who disagree, but whatever. Hopefully you are all smart enough to take the appropriate precautions to keep you and your loved ones safe. I'm out for this weekend, somebody eat some meat and drink some beer for me. Glad my last ski day was this:

The format of the date looks like a sudoku puzzle.... With no skiing pass I plan to tour up mt bleu will need a cold beer - a haiku written by skiincy
