And more pics...nice soft snow and bumps off a blue trail. .Deer run I think Lower extrovert I think...nice bumps and a good amount of powder at the end

Then time for a nice lunch... After that I hit some glades. Nice drop off of Stembogan toward east wall glades. First time through I wasn't ready for it and launched pretty far into the trees

Lapped Stembogan bowl/trail after that for 5 runs...

currently in the lot working from car; rose is still skiing and it's still snowing pretty heavily. probably about 1", maybe a bit more since opening this morning. Coming soon is open, bumped up, and Xtra gnar, i almost got tossed once or twice. first tracks on 6pack line and t-bar, both good. trees off of main were waaaay lumpier than expected. the 2-3" on top of fresh groomers was great first thing in the morning!

Got on the snow around 10, which I think is when they open...access road was sketchy but otherwise the drive was fine. Did a few runs on the top to bottom trail on skiers left. Nice long run, 2 miles. Then time for a lift beer

Flyers play an outdoor game in Lake Tahoe Sunday at 2pm. The photos of the rink and background look stunning

Wanted to change it up today, so I ran at lunch time and decided to tour up Snodgrass. Hit the trail at 3:30pm and was at the top at 4:55pm. This was my longest tour to date at just under 3 miles and ~1500ft of gain, and I can tell my boots have broken in nicely as I as overall pretty comfortable. Temps were in the low 20s with on/off sun. Some really nice views, but not sunny when I took the pictures 😂 Because the uphill trail snakes back and forth a bit, you get a good view of some lines. I enjoyed some nice shin deep pow on the way down, but nobody to take any pics 😁 I'm beat, and I'm going to drink all the beer.

Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning st Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 815am after an easy drive that only took a few extra minutes. As I was booting up a slow moving snake of cars was arriving. In the house were BenM, Indiggio, Indiggios fanny flap, Enjorales cousin and Charles. The temperature was in the mid 20s with snow falling and no wind. Second civilian six pack and I did sidewinder first which was so nice. The 2”+ of new snow was some nice cushion for the pushing. Razors was closed due to racing. Next was switchback which had about 3 tracks on it..woo woo woo..then Main Street upper was boner city and lower wasn’t bad but mostly tracked up. Tried a run on Nightmare to dreamweaver which had nice snow but too much happening with park kids and I couldn’t believe how many people were on lower paradise. Over to X-ing which was untracked then up the Main Street chair to freshies on widowmaker to chute to lower Main Street back to the six pack. There was a minor line by this point. Lots of herbs on old ass skis like salami X-screams..spellcheck has the skis like part of a charcuterie plate. Hit up X-ing again was deep then had a quick beer in the lot and currently in the drive thru line at Chic Fil A. Ski everybody this weekend..gonna be grate!!!!

i took main st maybe the second or third run and only saw a patroller's tracks, it was glorious.

This is a ridiculous trip report so I’m going to bury it in the skison thread. Went for an urban ski adventure in bala cynwyd last night with Mike and Wally. I was trying to ski near my old place in Belmont Village because of the slope. It’s about 200 vertical feet over 1/2 mile. Thought it would be fun to do some laps with @Schif. But, everything was plowed. so, we went to the cynwyd trail instead. we’ve ran the cynwyd trail a hand full of times and it always felt like a steeper slope. Like 30ish minutes of shuffling through the snow, we made it to the car 😂 probably like 100 vertical feet over 1.2 miles. we weren’t the only ones who attempted this, which makes the sub par decision feel a little less ridiculous. There were 2 other tracks from alpine skis. 1/2 way through, I texted a friend and requested a heli assist. Send the choppa plz. Here’s Schif and Wally towards the end. Got to the car at CVS on rock hill road. Turns out it’s hard making turns in Philly 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m no longer in park city and telluride, I suppose...

Should be there both days. No @popsSaturday.

Last run of the day on Stembogan... And that brings me to where I currently am...

anyone have a clue who this is??? they posted a nice line off of sidewinder and these were posted yesterday --

The mind numbingly dumb shit that gets posted on this site anymore is really starting to out weigh the good stuff.

Buoy pop for Monday is looking more promising as of today. Could be the end to this nice winter streak that we have enjoyed from what I am seeing. Nothing crazy, but could be around another ~6". Just something to keep an eye on...

I forgot cameras and photos were non existent before the pandemic.

Having a drink on the patio overlooking Deer Valley and Park City at the St. Regis is the crème de la crème living - followed by a ride down the funicular. 100000%

You should just go.

I’m sure it’s open again which explains why indiggio disappeared after a few runs with us.

Decided to change it up today, and ski after work, as I had a lot going on today. Skied for about 90 minutes...enjoyed some sunny groomers and some double diamond extreme terrain. Like @GrilledSteezeSandwich said, I love the sun, and I was enjoying myself today.

Ok. Vape up and get back at me

True ... If I'm not there by 7:45am, I'll catch you on the trail but I'm planning to make it!

Fuckin legit!!......Place looks fun....Once again Pa delivers...

Why would thin cover/rocks bother you?...You already tore them up in the parking lot....

6-8". Snowing for 2 days. Off and on ...... Come On Man.... Trees ¿?¿?

Tap your poles on top of the mogul in front..until you can fully ski parallel and cave turns, moguls will be tough. You’re still doing the stem Christie.

part of the reason i got a roof box. i have 6 pairs of skis in it right now!

Salty I’ll show you a cool drill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a blast the past week or so riding the glades on riders right of switchback. Also, a cool little cut through (@1:15) that drops you off at the bottom of Lazy.

I think Im throwing every pair of skis I own in the truck Saturday morning lol!

ate shit this morning on my ice rink of a driveway that i mistakenly shoveled yesterday right before the changeover to sleet and freezing rain. currently in the lot at blue and still snowing hard.

theres a good email address here if you really want to plead your case... https://www.skibluemt.com/media/5978/2020-safety-week-press-release.pdf they'd have to redo their whole shit. captcha wouldn't be a problem for it.

Keep your upper body silent and stay in the fall line...

@indiggio @tarponhead the website says 40/40 trails open. Could this mean TCS is resurrected??? +++VIBES+++

Stfu.

I'm starting to think that you have a major man crush on Atomic since you're tagging him, or making videos of you using his voice every other post. I'm sure he's flattered while living the dream in Heaven, CO.

@EdBacon - Love this. Trying to convince a friend to do it with my on Saturday morning. How many miles'ish was it?

Keep calling until you get someone that'll do it. Was never part of the terms when you purchased your pass. Persistence.

Well, you would need to be driving something from circa 1990's something. Newer diesel engines dont take well to heating oil. Also, if you get caught doing that, you will really regret doing that. Huge fines. not that its real likely you would get caught, but fines are huge. Thats the only reason heating oil and off road diesel are dyed red. and adding a gallon of red to like 50 of on road fuel will still turn the whole tank red.

is "some dude" you?

Started from the Hamburg reservoir parking lot. Bunch of cars. Lots of folks walking their dogs and taking the AT up to Pulpit Rock and the Pinnacle. Hiked straight up the Lehigh Valley Amateur Astronomical Society/cell tower access road. Not a hard hike at all. There was a solid boot pack about two feet wide the whole way up. Go of the boot pack and you sunk in to your knees. The entire rest of the road surface was deep powder for long stretches. Saw one set of tracks from somebody else with the same idea, and one guy came ripping down from the far side of the reservoir on my hike up. Way to get at it. Strapped in at the observatory then started down. Was a sweet run. Passed a couple groups of folks coming up. I waved. The pitch is really easy. If it were a groomed trail it would be a green "easiest way down" the mountain sort of trail. Could really lay into any big turns but still felt great to float on down for 800 vertical feet. Ate some Trader Joes blueberry fig newton bars then got back to the car. Up and down, including some time taking in the view at Pulpit Rock totaled 2 hours. Not bad at all. So far this year I've bagged three powder days, all hike-to and avoided resorts in the process. Will definitely be doing more hiking for turns in the future as it feels great, is free and you have pow practically to yourself.

He’s probably more into docking than soaking.

I'll bring mine too. I'm not 100% sure if I'll be at Blue tomorrow but if I am I'll definitely join. I'm trying to make this a day of kindness and weekend of kindness after our bickering earlier.

Word of Warning.... Elk Has been super crowded on Saturdays....2hr ticket lines, 2hr rental lines, parking lots overflowing, etc...

It’s hilarious..as you say he’s such a gift to this forum. Reminds me of this.

Planning on heading up again Saturday morning myself. Not long at all. Maybe 2 miles up.
