Who doesn't love hero spring snow on Xmas eve? Great morning out there. Oh, and here is a pic of @mbike-ski that is well composed, level, and clear because my lens isn't covered in grease.

Hey All, I’m back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at around 820am and it was 40 degrees under ominous overcast sky’s. In the house were MBike Mike, JFdan, Atomic Jeff, BenM, Nazareth Jay, Shadows, Henry, Enjoralas cousin, TP4, Antman, Keith, Crazy Kathy and many more. First civilian 6 pack and barely any people in the house Challenge was pretty nice a little chop..Main Street top was smooth fast cord hero snow and bottom a little chop..lazy mile was ok very soft..paradise was my favorite and only a few people on it..The rain didn’t start until a little before 10am and it wasn’t that bad while I was skiing. Managed 9 runs in a little under an hour and a half then hungour in the lot for about 45 minutes drinking beer in the rain I’m glad the rain held off and I got some runs in on this Xmas eve Usually I’d be at my parents house today but because of Covid I’m not allowed in their house so saved me 7 hours of round trip driving and my mom nagging me about everything JADIP

Skied there Monday on some perfect snow. Yesterday... eh, not so much. Main Street ROD for me. The crowds were as bad as a weekend, quit about 1130, due to fear of being taken out by someone. Hoping to be back Saturday am. And I get my first COVID vaccine this afternoon. 👍👍

I skied Copper yesterday. No lines and plenty of space. But, it was like 9 degrees and windy. Did about 8k of vert in under 2 hours. It was my first day out so I took it slow. I didn’t take any photos on the mountain but this pic on 70 can give you an idea. Today, I skiied Winter Park. It was a blue bird day. Got about 12k in about 3 hours. To start, I parked in the free lot G (that’s me in the black SUV). Then, I strolled over to the Cabriolet lift (beer can lift) to hit the village. It was great to not have to take a shuttle bus. A couple of the lifts like Sunnyside, Challenger, Super Gauge Express, and the Gondola had 10 minute waits, everything else I pretty much skied right up to. If there was a line, I just opted for the slower 2 seater lift versus the express. It was easy to avoid the lines. Above is line of Super Guage Express, but just to the right is Pony Express and it had zero wait. It doesn’t take you as far up but got my skis back on the snow faster. The runs were mostly empty and easy to avoid, which felt like a sharp contrast to the Schuylkill River Trail in Philly. Ducked into some of the trees. Not much powder but it was good to practice the variability. the sun started to set and the shade rolled in around 3pm. Made it chillier but still fun to cruise down the runs as it begun to empty out. tomorrow is an ABasin morning ski..

We didn't. Conditions were fantastic.

You drive a bimmer. We know.

I'm not skinny, but an asshole.

Nice Xmas Eve morning sunrise. Most of the snow will be gone tomorrow 👎

First taste of sliding on skins....Took two runs on Paradise with it clipped together with no issues...

Shadows you’re alright

I can tell you follow a strict diet based on your svelte figure.

Badass!!

Wow looks like @eaf and @saltyant missed out!

Holgate yesterday...now a flat, fishless beach. Nice weather yesterday though. Could have launched the kayak off the beach if I wanted to

Just arrived at Mont Bleu...employee in my parking space. Gonna get some runs in before the rain comes and hopefully the mickey dees breakfast I just consumed doesn’t give me the runs. Merry Xmas all y’all.

You can order slopeside takeout if you're really worried about it.

Thats how we do it in PA!

Hey All, I’m back from a fun morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830 and it was in the upper 20s under partly sunny sky’s. In the house were Shadows, Atomic Jeff, BenM, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Mixilplix, Charles and Enjorales cousin. Second civilian six pack and a lot of people out right off the back. First run of the day and season on challenge and was frozen cord by smooth..falls is getting better. Lazy mile didn’t have good snow was mini cookies, paradise was decent but crowded..upper and lower Main Street were decent the middle was sketch with ridges and shit. Midway was nice snow. Liftlines became moderate until the quad opened around 940 then not that bad but the runs were so crowded...mostly goobers. Skied till 1015 then hungout in the lot about a half hour. I want to ski tomorrow AM but will be a game time decision based on the rain. JADIP

The good thing about this rain is that the snowmaking ponds will be full again for operation blizzard 3.0 beginning tomorrow night

I can tell the skinny people on PASR except for TP4 are the biggest assholes.

Klondike, Entemans, Tastycake, Oreos

Cool photo from Abasin

I sometimes get the sausage biscuit and only eat the top of the biscuit since I do Keto sometimes.

A lot of times when you think conditions are going to be shitty they turn out to be pretty good...Even with a little rain....

I’ll be there Sunday!

Both days. Probably skip Sausage Sunday this week being so close to Xmas. We’ll see.

Nice I’ll start a weekend roll call thread in a minute. I’m at work right now dealing with a family who’s memorial stone is taking way too long.

Sausage McMuffin with egg, hash brown and apple juice. SaltyAnt what do you get from McDoodles for breakfast?

That just means you can put some really nice Christmas lines in that grass tomorrow

have a good time Douglas. I was hoping to make it this morning, but the wife is busy...dropped the kid off at day care, have to do some work (even though today is a paid holiday for me)...then have to pick up my daughter at lunch time since it's a half day for them. Hopefully should be up on Saturday

It’s the lord’s day

Maybe you shouldn't have cancelled your trip for tomorrow, ya know, so you could support them.

Camelback is closed tomorrow. Fuck. Fuckety fuck. WTF. I really dont care, i just wanted to join in on the mind numbing complaining.

Almost as good as my Steamboat video

You said it. Holy fuck. Send the waaaaambulance. Its almost like the 2 of them ski so they have something to complain about. im just happy we can ski.

You said today's Festivus and I took that to mean unlimited airing of grievances. After today I wont complain about anything on this Board anymore.

You've managed to turn a post about the best conditions at Blue this season into a thread about complaining and moaning. Typical salty.

If you want to ski you will do what ever they want you to do...

Fuck you fuck you fuck you, you’re cool...fuck you.

Fake weather!

More directed to Salty's statement....

Wao have a grate ski! What did you get from McDoodles?

Almost all ski resorts restrict uphill travel for liability reasons. A longtime Jackson hole local got an argument with ski patrol when he was skinning up various beginner trails and cat tracks to get to his grand daughters ski race that he was arrested and handcuffed. https://www.wildsnow.com/4452/arrested-uphill-skiing/

Weather on Friday shows a high of fifty goin down to 20 at night.....
