Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot around 8:25am and the temperature was around freezing under mostly sunny sky’s. The snowmaking cannons were blasting on NMDW, Upper Main Street, Sidewinder and a few random spots. In the house were TP4, Atomic Jeff, BenM, Drew, Bethlehem Ford Guy, ZZSlope, Hayata and many more. I was on fourth civilian six pack due to second behind gate and pole getting caught in the netting..mad Homer Simpson..Doh. I essentially skied the same three runs. Razors three times, challenge twice and switchback three times. All had similar smooth semi hardpack snow..not many cookies at all. Was pretty pleasant skiing overall and with the quad running lift lines were minimal despite a solid amount of people out. Winds were a bit strong early on and diminished. I then hungout in the lot for about 40 minutes, had two quick beers and now time for a little bit of work. Ski everybody this weekend. Gonna be a real nice one.

Thanks man! It seems like there is a line forming, Ill add you to the list. Its amazing how many friends you have when you start building skis lol.

Because if I have 12 bullets and 24 people to shoot I have a big fucking problem on my hand. Do you remember Somalia ? When they ran out of bullets they got turned into meat puppets. DC is federal which means under the direction of the executive branch (aka trump) All week DOD, national guard all the alphabet soup repeatedly asked if they required assistance and were denied. The capital police established a perimeter but when they came to the conclusion that they either had to start shooting to maintain the perimeter or let them in they did not feel they had the forces necessary and fell back to the secured locations where senators,vp, etc were being kept. When the extremists tried to breach those locations they shot that women in the neck. You can see the guys hands shaking, its one dude with a pistol vs an angry mob. Once you can get swat, who needs time to assemble and probably had members in the mob, the national guard who was for some reason late (trump) then you can retake the building. In that operation arresting people is not the goal as your just trying to clear the building and get them to go home. Its politically speaking unwise to start shooting people who are in their own minds engaging in protest. You make martyrs out of them and increase their numbers and motivation. The whole thing is a bluff were both sides are trying to figure out how far the other is willing to go. If you have to shoot everyone you've already lost so what your trying to do is get them to go home. You can't just round up 1000 national guard dudes on the spot and dc is a mish mash of various jurisdictions and bull shit because its DC. You can determine intent by your own judgment but I think it's reasonable to assume the guy for which they were all their had something to do with the limited response, after all he loves them apparently.

Just dropped them off at the shop for a tune, know it all ski tech behind the counter gave me a good laugh while filling out the paper work. Ski tech: What brand and model skis are they? Me: ummmm, idk. Ski tech: most people around here dont know what kind of skis they have.. Me: ...........lol.........

Fuck yeah! I’m good 👍

He texted me in Russian an hour ago ... something about a microchip.

Enjoyable day. Snow was ok. Rotd was paradise, and the cross trail under the six near the bottom. Moguls were freshly seeded were rough at the end.

Totally agree, its tragic that someone had to die for such stupidity. Absolutely nothing was accomplished. I'm not sure if we are talking about the same video but that women and parts of the mob were trying to break into the secure area that had pence. The capital building was designed to be open and transparent and is alot of glass. So when they started breaking though the glass they were repeatedly commanded to back off and when they didn't and that women tried to break through he shot her in the neck. The dude was scared af and I'm sure was amazed he even hit her but still you fuck with the VP I dont care who you are or what your politics are you should expect to get shot. They resisted shooting anyone until the last minute and then you shoot one person and hope the mob relents. Its all shitty business but again its the US capital building and the response is going to be way different than looting a target. The govt is fucked up because the country is fucked up because its people are fucked up because the society is sick. Govt is just people, just like you and me, the separation between the two is convenient but nothing more.

Another Great day, Paradise was real nice early, and Switch had nice snow, overall pretty good today

I mean, i have watched the movie a few times, but did u have to look it up for the names or do you have some rain man in you? oh, and remember when some people thought it would be awesome if Vail bought Blue?

This is exactly what would have happened if Maris corp would have been able to take over Snowy Peaks in the 1990 classic movie Ski Patrol. Luckily the Snowy Peaks ski patrol was able to thwart the evil conglomerate's takeover attempt.

Ok!

Its actually totally and completely against the law to run any kind of state boarder based enforcement. They haven't specifically gone to the supreme court on this rona issue but it's pretty clear you can't simply pull people over for having out of state plates and fine or detain them. You could likely talk to them and remind them of things like the governors quarantine order and what not but generally they haven't done any enforcement of said orders because if it goes it court they will lose and there goes their ability to threaten entirely.

Guns blasting on upper Main Street, Come around, sidewinder, dreamweaver, tubing and finish line. People spilling in like crazy...

Looks like 2 grate days to ski!

PA COVID crackdown! Beware you renegade two-platers coming here to ski! https://www.mcall.com/coronavirus/mc-nws-state-police-to-issue-covid-flyers-possible-citations-20210106-ajau75jg75bnjllpdvevcvtlvu-story.html?position=paramter_1&utm_campaign=NonSub_Matching__Engaged&utm_content=acquisition_recurring_acquisition_list_cmp_matching_final&utm_medium=email&utm_source=zaius

Skied Valley School East and West with the fam from 530-730 and it was Epic. Hurt the country club vibe seeing the buses but they did bring entertainment. Saw a kid walking with skis on pavement from rentals to the Valley school. Had some kamikaze skiers that kept doing full yard sales for fun. It looked painful and I was asking myself why would you keep doing that? Biggest improvement session for my 4 year old tonight. We have turns and stops but we need to build up her leg muscles and attention span. It’s fun to watch the progression. I’ll be back up tomorrow for a solo lunch session.

Tomorrow I get the first part of the COVID vaccine. Here's to hoping some normalcy follows in the next year 💉

Had a great day today. Skied from about 930-230. Snow wasn’t the best, but not the worst, either. Had a delicious tailgate after. Main Street probably ROTD.

Cross trail under the six was a nice escape from the slower snow on homestretch. A mini turbo boost to the base. I also skied Razorback for the first time this skison.

Today as meh. Could tell it was going to turn to sugar, and the wind was out of the north, the least desirable for Blue. At least it was sunny.

I think if the far right and left could get over their irrational fear of each other for a few minutes and actually talk and consider each other’s struggles they’d be surprised by how much common ground they’d find. Unfortunately there are those leaders that prey on those fears and legitimate problems to drive their agenda and it’s rarely in the best interest of the country.

The only way to change things is to get the money out of politics. There was over $800 million spent in just two months on the Georgia senate race. People and mostly corporations aren't "donating" that money out of the kindness of their hearts. It's an investment. And politicians know if the donors don't get a return on that investment, they won't be seeing that investment next election cycle. Pundits don't talk about who has the best the ideas when predicting who is going to win. They always talk about who has the most money.

you make your kids split a hot chocolate and you are criticizing a business for charging people to utilize their services? Volunteers still get free passes.

When I dropped my splitboard off at Blue for a tune I sorta got the same thing...

I'm taking my family up to Elk in a couple of weeks to change things up. Online ticketing is still not available, though, so I hope they get it up and running soon so I can skip the wagon.

Bah we’ll see you Saturday and Sunday. If shit hits the fan I’ll bail you out of jail lol

I believe I'm scheduled for Moderna.

I’m in!

I don’t know how people can tune out when major news is happening.

Plan to. Should we do Sunday Brunch?

Main was ROTE too... razors not bad, enjoyable evening View never gets old Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t kill the messenger... Blue Mountain Parks just posted on IG that they’re making a top to bottom terrain park on Dreamweaver. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJw1SOOgCyH/?igshid=1smjk1u0nolp

Fascinating thread....Would love to witness the lay up/pressing......I can appreciate the work that goes into it.....Bravo sir..

my dad got one in the mail not too long ago. first time is a warning.

Last few times i have been through, the only hint of construction was like a 2 mile stretch just for a bridge overhead, there wasnt any construction on 476 itself. Up until now i never knew what the mobile construction speed thingys looked like. Never really saw anything that looked like it had a camera attached to it, but i wasnt looking for a car either.

My kids split a hot chocolate so that the break takes 15 min instead of 30. I am criticizing them for making a change that led to staffing issues that prevent them operating on the promised schedule.

Ok boomer

Speed cameras on 476 about a mile north of landsdale

Boys stay on topic.

Thought you were done posting here?

Drew was a little concerned. I told him just say he has work in Allentown.

Bah! We'll see you Saturday & Sunday!

I didn’t watch any news today. Knew it was going to be a shit show in Washington.

Not the semi-fun kind of sugar. More of the quicksand variety. Complete with hidden sugar bumps that keep me from opening it up on razors and nightmare dream. But in an effort to not salty up this tr. I'm still having a shit ton of fun!

Looks empty and thats the best condition

1. it's the new york post. the first "related article" i see in their sidebar is about kanye getting a divorce. sure, he did post up in jackson hole to record an album and i think i've seen pictures of him on skis, but i wouldn't call that related 2. that article doesn't say anything more than hunter's own PR, aside from adding Greene County positive case numbers (sort of). definitely more going on behind the scenes that hasn't been confirmed yet, but hey it's a weird ski season and most of us are still getting our laps in. can't ask for too much more than that right now.
