Holy shit are there alot of pine trees, its like if western CO fucked a rainforest and the baby they had is Washington state. Alot of the grass here is fluorescent green, you just can't believe how fucking green everything is. I forgot how impressive Mt. Hood is, short of Maroon Bells or San Juan's it's one of the best to look at. They all Midwest drive, 5 over max but $32 llr gram carts and who cares. Off to Bachelor, spring skiing but should be good.

Bachelor is soooooo dope, like Highlands or Palisades, for me it's exactly what I want in a ski area. From the moment you are about 15 miles out it looms large in the distance and as you get closer and closer you can't believe they ran a lift to the top. I was expecting firm cord at opening so I started an Sunnyside which gets first light. Surprisingly there was some light chalk around and first run it was nice cord. I ran groomers off cloudchaser and pine marten until noon with zero lines and jump off everything super soft. Super playful constant action kinda terrain where you can work in endless airs. After lunch the summit lift was turning and a 15 min walk later and I was standing up top to harvest some corn. The wind had blown the top arm to rotten terrible sastrugi so I zipped around to hit the morain face I had scoped from the lift. I was mostly trying to get to the gully to farm corn but why not get there via a more spicy route. The cut in on the cornice was over medium shark fin but one tech turn and it was an apron to milk turns. I was for a second in my head thinking this is a super bad idea so I was stoked it worked out. Looking up you can see its more chalky snow and I thought I had fucked up on the corn A tech entry means low traffic and staying up on the Ridge I wondered into perfect super baked up corn untouched. It was pure Nebraska corn harvest and I milked the fuck out of those turns all the way to the lift. The rest of the day I ran groomers under the skyliner lift which is busted. It was super nice zero traffic groomers though the slog out sucks hairy ballsack when it's 65 degrees down low. Now I'm eating pizza hut breadsticks from an actual pizza hut restaurant. Super super dope spring day, peeps are so nice with zero pretentiousness and almost no Jerry's. I could spend a lifetime their and be super super happy but there is a potential for 30+" at baker Monday/ Tuesday so I may start making my way up there and hit meadows on the way tomorrow. Seriously though for a 1000 reasons Bachelor is le tits, it's a volcano you can ski all the way around, the terrain is endless.

Heading for home today. Was a fun week.

If I had to guess looking at google earth and based off the advertised vert of the new lift, Burma should extend onto valley school east, then have Main Street extend onto valley school west, and have them separated in some way. It would keep the congestion down on shuttle.

Sneak peak of new lift:

“Summit safari super 6 pack supreme”

If this does happen... I worry losing the main st chairs and the vista lift(if I understand correctly)will make the base even more of a cluster. Now all of the beginners on Burma and Vista will be going to the bottom and creating even more chaos at the bottom of Main St to the base.

Switch is the best, TCS non ditch us doodle doodle doodle omg pitch and your done. It's a leitner poma so they are spending some loot, I for one can't wait for the heated Italian leather seats and ski up espresso bar.

Skied at Snowmass today with JohnnyStyle. Conditions were 10/10 boner doner tits magee groomers. Best groomers of the year by a mile. Weather was in the high 30s with no wind, and clear skies. The blues at Snowmass are steeper than the blacks at Breckenridge 😂

Bluebird day yesterday

Good stuff, bachelor looks great!

Nice report!!! Who are you with and where are you staying?

Sweet! I rode the lift at Taos with some guys from bachelor who were the nicest ever. I’ve always been intrigued by the cinder cone at bachelor for some reason.

Boots fit in carry on suitcase just fine and you don’t want rental ski boots. Can’t remember the last time I checked a bag other than skis.

I’m with doug. Carry on the boots. I like the way my boots fit, and pretty sure rental, or even new boots would make me miserable. If the airline send your skis to Jamaica, its just an excuse to try out some new skis.

Twin peaks was a popular show when I was a kid. I’ve never seen the new version. There’s also a restaurant chain called twin peaks.

Nice I’m watching Karen freak out compilations

They aren’t removing the vista chair.

I like that it reclines...Heated with massage will be nice too...

It was true! https://liftblog.com/2022/04/01/new-six-packs-coming-to-blue-mountain-and-camelback/ (not April Fool's)

And what a difference a day makes. Actually got about 6 inches of snow, as close to a powder day I’m gonna get, but it’s all fun

Couple more

if the original post is correct, it looks like they will be removing the beginner chair? "Also removed is the short Valley lift starting just below the Mountain Lodge" While it's not a straight shot, it looks like the tech exists to make a small bend.

I think the lines will be just as long if not longer, it's blue and they could have a lift for each run and it would be crowded
