Hey All, I’m back from another session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 720am and it was 48 degrees with fog in the mid and upper mountain. In the house were Atomic Jeff, NMSki, Toast, JFDan, Antman, Mixilplix, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Slim, Indiggio and many others. Upper Main Street is now closed and going over to midway was definitely skiing by Braille. Snow was alright spring snow..some call hero snow...a little slow for my liking. I mainly skied lazy mile which wasn’t that busy..I apparently snowed some kid pretty bad making the hard right turn onto shuttle. Did lazy about five times then back to midway which was still in a fog. I feel like it for foggier and more moust as the morning progressed. I hungout in the lot, had some chips and beer and now af work...have to make final bank deposit of the year and have multiple voicemails from just this morning. JADIP Ski everybody next year.

I'm skiing in a few. Fog or no fog. I don't care if it's a run...I'm freaking going. F this weather

I don't think this is any kind of revelation but any PASR peeps traveling to VR hills be aware they are hyper short on workers. I was at PCMR today, 15" and shit was pure railing rainbow coke off the finestest of asses but first chair on town lift was 950. They had no ski patrol to do a lift line recon so they couldn't run town lift. None of the 4 lifts from the base were running before 920. The lifty told us they currently have 4 groomers and had all but the base lodge closed for anything other than peeing. They aren't currently grooming Canyons at all and had only the 5 or 6 majors groomed pc all week though I only saw it myself today. Honestly if your a certain type of skiier it's awesome, pow turns everywhere until late in the day and no frills so those people seemed to stay at home. However they were close to not having enough personel to operate and outside of Vail itself I highly doubt this is unique to PCMR. It has been this way all season so far since they got snow and could actually ski. Basically make sure to have snacks in your pockets and be prepared to be chill, shit is fucking wild right now.

Sunday night, I'm bringing that cold air back

Snow good...fog bad....Gonna see if I can teach myself to telemark...Today was day one....I'm a total noob but I did manage to make some really crude turns on the gaper hill...

Apparently they all went to Alta who has a union and better wages. I don't know if that's true but that is what the local peeps were saying. The ski patrol who eventually came down had no idea the lift wasn't running and 4 lifts never ran. I saw 0 ski patrol on the hill, no lift line people and at most 2 lifties top and bottom, most had one and the head maintenance guy was running Motherlode lift. The obvious answer is throw money at a core contingent of workers but VR is publicly traded and they don't want to show rising labor costs. Most of this week is people spending serious loot to take their family on vacation and if I was one of those people I would be fuck vail too. I don't care because every morning it's been skiing knee deep untracked and Alta got 2 inches in 30 mins like 2hrs ago.

“I was at PCMR today, 15" and shit was pure railing rainbow coke off the finestest of asses but first chair on town lift was 950.” [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] So good but that sucks at the same time

nice snow with poor visibility. Still better than not coming out. Hope everyone has a fun, safe, glutinous evening! Happy New Year PASR! 🍾🥂

Happy New Years ! Better weather in the new year is coming

Why do you care? You're a Frost, CB, Epic guy now. Those ponds don't belong to you anymore.

Good for the ponds, though!

Another groundhog day in the fog. Coming over the @RidgeRacer this morning, the fog had (temporarily) cleared and the hopes of a fog-free day arose, only to be dashed shortly thereafter. Regardless, hero snow made for hero bumps on Midway and Lower Main, followed by ample beers in the lot afterwards. Hopefully going to be a rainless window of opportunity tomorrow morning, but guessing a 4pm closure followed by a closed Sunday after the deluge. Happy healthy and prosperous New Year to all PASRs!

Lapping lazy at this point. Snow pic... For stoke

I'm good. How could I ever compete.

Nah... I was messing aroundwith Saltman. In person we're thick as thieves.

Tried but today was something else. People were either on their ass, walking down trails, walking in the trees for whatever reason or walking under the lifts looking for whatever they dropped. I saw People sliding down Midway. Sliding down Lazy, and even walking down tuts with their skis over their shoulder. One guy who fell on tuts was wearing grey sweatpants. I get it you don't ski so you don't have gear but common sense should tell someone that when skiing...especially when it's rainy, that wearing something water resistant may be a good idea. This guy's grey sweatpants were so wet that they were practically falling off. They weren't drying either. This isn't the type of weather where things dry when your outdoors. His ass (literally) is going to be wet for a long time. SMH.

Ski the bump line we seeded on lower main and partial bumps on midway. Make you smile smile Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly what mix said. What is open is a field of bumps and the baller to non baller ratio is probably 1000 to 1 which is probably not the best ratio in a fog filled, bump filled wrod. I just witnessed someone slide head first down Midway. Staying to get really wet in the cloud up to now. I'm skiing but yeah... Not gonna sugar coat it this is depressing.

Hopefully we get to see VTmark on Sunday!!!!

That guy is freaking hilarious

Holy shit that's terrible ! Stay safe and take care of yourself !!!

Don't know if this really counts as new gear but.....I scored a Mavic Mini....Absolutely hate the noise they make but some of the shots I've seen are pretty cool....Figured it would be good for the gravel rides/bikepacking or some of the cross country skiing/splitboarding (if we ever get some natural cover)....

Don’t feed the troll 😈

I saw on Teton gravity forums that park city patrol is in the process of striking and they are asking everybody to boycott vail resorts. I know a crazy 50 something bar legend who’s working the front desk at a swanky Deer Valley hotel this winter He’s making almost $20 an hour which is the most he’s ever made He worked at the lodge at the north rim of the Grand Canyon this last summer He lives in employee housing for $17 a night with two 20something roommates https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php/345140-Fuck-Vail!-Here-s-how

Yeah, its gonna be real interesting sunday after it rains hot piss tomorrow.

I can't see Sunday happening. I wouldn't be surprised if they closed Monday and Tuesday to hit it hard when the cold sets in.

I’m not happy that they’re closed tomorrow but I am happy they took to decision to ride tomorrow out of my hands. Lol

I have a feeling they close until Wednesday

In my friends office, 9 out of 13 people have Covid. Shits getting hot although most aren’t real sick.

I'll be up tomorrow morning as long as it's not pouring.

I miss seeing your brother Kragan at Blue..he was a solid skier and always loud and swore a lot!!

I represent the A as well I’m swell try to stay away from the yay oh well..I do it for my hood grew up in an English tudor never in a gang but have a doo rag on my computer..where I ski has big dawg booters boot you up so high..so high..high fiving astronauts when I touch the sky..never fucked an apple pie but I’ll put my dick in mashed potatoes haters think that’s gross and shady but I fucks em with no gravy..at the KFC..re upping on them sides..when ski patrollers cum I’m gonna fucking hide unless it’s Thursday nights then chillen with corona lights aka omicron..you get it sharing bongs. That’s all that I got cause what I’ve got is two turntables and a microphone chilled with PARidge watch home alone not a clone cause if I was i would kill my twin then pour a little more juice into my gin hit them balls like pin and raw dawg your girl like I was rin tin tin.

You’re right. Maybe I’ll get out there. CB has been great from 9-1130 every morning. It’s crowded, however they have a season pass line this season so it’s always under 5 minutes in line.

Spry like a mtn goat but it makes sense kill it on the dance floor kill it on the snow.

Oh my video blog?

Tomorrow for sure. What time do they open?

Prolly there for all three days...unless I wake up and it's raining...Just happy to get out and make some turns...no matter how bad they may be...

Most definitely. I was so happy to have the bottom lot open. First time I’ve parked there this season.

Are you more middle of the road? I’m fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I’ve alwags been for a flat federal income tax

Happening and it's amazing.

In October, I was driving and saw a camel on Montgomery Avenue. l don’t think I need to go to camelback now.

Hahahaha this is one of my favorite video clips hoping to ski tomorrow, Friday.

Saturday if the weather holds. Maybe tomorrow afternoon. I haven't skied since Sunday and that annoys me.

FYI for those of you who have Indy passes and want somewhere for some local uphill earned turns, Shawnee allows it midweek 👍

oh my.

No you won't.

Party rockin has never stopped me from skiing. But yes, I am party rockin right now.

It was good today. The weather wasnt shit, unless of course you expected to get bronzed up. They moved the tubing hill to upper main, no big loss there, though. Midway continues to be like

First hour was grate with no crowd and hero snow. You’re right about the crowd. Race teams and rentals came out and picking through lessons and people got spicy. Lazy was my ROTD but Midway to lower was pretty good too. I love the 8 am opening during the week.
