Hey All, I’m back from a super fun opening day at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the upper lot around 8:05AM and it was 34 degrees with a few dozen cars already in the house. In attendence were Mute, Ryan, Atomic Jeff, Justo, Toast, Mixilplix, Johnny Law, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Slim, BenM, Enjorales, Pops, Falco, Keith, Crazy Kathy, Rodney and many others. Rope drop was mellow and TruTV Star Jim daily mentioned about mask usage and all in all people were very respectful wearing masks walking through the lodge, in liftlines and walking around. First run in vista to midway to lower Main I was in the middle of the pack..Snow was alright until lower main when it was cookie city. Come around had nice snow and midway got rough really fast. A bonus for this years opening was Burma road which proved to be fun although as Toast called it a bakery. The corners were mad technical. Best snow on the mountain was on vista. While I skied no real lift lines..Blue limited attendance enough combined with being a weekday opening it almost felt like being at a skiing country club. Even the one time I used the restroom inside it wasn’t crowded like normal. The parking lot today was super fun..the snack I brought were consumed and I bought pierogies from the food truck..drank some dank beer and enjoyed the 40something degree temperatures. All in all the main theme today was just how great it was to be back skiing again today. Props to Blue for being super organized and most of our passes worked.

Great being out with everyone today! Props to Blue for taking things seriously, yet still opening up and giving us skiing. Great to have Burma open to spread people out. The best opening day I’ve had during a pandemic.

Great morning! It’s fun seeing everyone again. Conditions weren’t the best but it was still awesome to play ski. Had an hour first thing then came back at 4 for a couple hours with the Mrs. Mask wearing wasn’t as good as in the morning. Definitely a younger crowd but all ages were ignoring the rules and ski patrol was bouncing between the Burma and Main Street lift lines telling people to mask up. Grabbed a beer and some food at the Cornerstone Grill and watching WFMZ do a report next to Vista.

Today was super fun....Lotta cookies...Was out for about an hour and a half and never really waited in line...Nice temps to kick off the season in the lot too... Here are two shitty vids to watch if ya want... This is the first time I've ever been down Burma...

They're all still there. It was cookied up. Crowds were pretty light while we were skiing.

Crested Butte seems to be one of the bullseye’s of the storm. As luck would have it I have a lull in renters Mon-Fri so I am going to take advantage. Made ski reservations Tues/Wed/Thurs. Going to also demo some skis and make a decision on something and get rid of my Black Pearl’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy Opening Day!

Today was super sick ! The snow was awful but it was soooo good to play skiing and see everyone. Can't wait to do it all over again Sunday

When I was down in the lower lot to drop my splitboard of fat the tune shop there looked like a decent amount of coverage by the sixer.. The splitboard was a really hit at the tune shop..Couple of dudes had to come out and look at it and talk about how to tune it..I think it's the first time they've seen one...

They could honestly score some big loot by driving around in that silly golf cart with a box of donuts/danish some coffee and cocoa.

a day or so ago they were marginal. how quickly the forecast can change in the winter. oh, 2 awesome things happened today. no more construction on 476. And, season pass found!

Lots of people booting up already. Already saw one of the Garys(tighty whitey Gary). 34 degrees.

Yeah, I was thinking they would be smart to contract in some food trucks and really push it this year, but would rather see them figure something out and hang on to more of the money themselves. Love supporting the other local businesses too, but I would see food trucks as a way to relieve crowd/line pressure on their own cafe vs this year when they need to figure a way to actually increase the number of people who would use the cafe

First post ski nap of the season was amazing!!!

those temps look great for snowmaking.

they must have been blowing on homestretch and the park that dumps you on the other side of the 6er this morning (lots of guns were going off), that park trail is covered. nothing else looked white (lazy mile etc). hopefully they get it open soon. pic might make it look grassy but it's just the lighting on the piles.

just noticed this.

Welcome back antman!!

I’d support them. Tomorrow I’m buying a couple hundred in gift cards at Youells in allentown...I like restaurants a lot so don’t wanna see them go under.

Well, since its 2020, this storm should clobber Carlisle, then mysteriously make a 90 degree turn, head due south and give North Carolina 20” of snow.

Bahahah and the skier chicks I’ve met in Jackson hole are badass. After the lifts close they go to yoga classes or make Kombucha..much to Atomic Jeff’s dismay they wanna hear about the Doug Lyfe. On the one gondola ride two 30something local chicks were all intrigued by chubby east coast tombstone selling non Hanukkah celebrating jew middle aged boy and Jeff said,”don’t get him started” lol

Haha pulling back more layers. More into it out here. Especially since I have friends that actually want to ski. Winters in NJ were pretty boring with the ladies in town, lots of candle parties. Lol. Nobody ever wanted to do anything fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went to Winter Park for some uphill today. (Pic not me). Conditions were nice! It’s a weird vibe skinning at a resort. Lots of people whizzing by out of control, one guy wiped out near me. Still a good cardio workout, but not sure I would go back for it. Always nice to be outside no matter what. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I saw that coming. Targeting the hotspots makes sense. I hope the announcement includes additional funding to support these places that are going to be temporarily shut down.

After seeing what tix are going for, yup.

Done. Stopped by Buckmans on the way to Philly today. They were out of vouchers by noon so I had to go back after 5 when they got more in. Apparently they're pretty popular. The pass isn't valid on weekends before 3 but who cares. Its a steal at 179.

Really? I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t construction on 476.

Nope after

We could be in our valley parking party lot next weekend, but definitely by Christmas.

They're a lean resort. Give them a break. We're so use to having information at our finger tips. Roll with the punches.

Have fun out there today folks! I can’t wait to read the reports.

Delivery guy would make some good tip money...

looks like some production on Homestretch overnight. good to see.

They should use their mobile slopeside van to drop shit off. Just label the rows and have a pickup location at the end of each. Will it happen? Who knows. But I'd love to see it.

Oh hey.

Awesome and welcome back momSkeez

I’m so excited⛷. I’ll be there tomorrow, not sure about who else in my crew.

Got all my shit ready to rock and I'm hype. Realized ski totes have a max waist around 95, sad.

The value in a season pass is unreal.....I was a pass holder/employee at BC for over ten years...and there is no parking lot scene....They would never allow it......Just buy the pass....

we do some heavy lifting!

No, I actually get it cut inside the snack bar at a high school sports gym.

Woo hoo, I found my season pass! Ready to ski!

it's a stupid game to play. it's always worth it.

My gut tells me this year will be a loss for ski resorts, so the revenue will need to be recouped over the years to come. We all know that skiing is expensive for the person that goes 3-4 times a year. But has anybody ever rented a waverunner for an hour? in comparison, skiing looks cheap.

Cover both of your domes.

I mean.......... What difference does testing make if 'government' isn't going to do anything about it. And there's no vaccine. I bought a new jacket today and just tried on my ski boots.
