Wao Jackson Frost made a lot of perder. Taken on November 26, 2022 at approximately 1953Z:

This is grate, hopefully it rains a lot all winter long so the snowmaking ponds get filled in.

@saltyant the snowmaking ponds are getting filled in today.

What a difference it is on coming soon vs paradise at night. Lights on coming soon are awesome, amazing, bestest lights I’ve ever seen on the slopes. Paradise lights are classic night riding at blue, although I somewhat enjoyed them for nostalgic purposes

On a day like today the decision to drop 4 hour tickets is a real detriment. They’re not gonna sell a ton of 8 hour tickets with the rain coming, but they could have opened for 6 hours, sold some 4 hour tickets and only had to run one 8 hour work shift.

Wow the rain is far away..Blue blew the call on this one.

Fuuuuck I was actually pretty stoked to ride in the rain but I understand they had to close. Please be open next weekend or I'll lose my mind.

The new Main Street cam is rad.

Incredible opening weekend. Huge props to blue for being able to open with the amount of terrain they did. Rain stopped yesterday at about 915(?) and was spring conditions for the rest of the morning. So fun. I thought conditions were good today as well. Little scrapped off? Sure. But still able to grab an edge and carve. 10/10 opening weekend. PS @enjoralas, Pops and I got first chair and didn’t have to wait at 830😂

Short of finally getting out to ski, today was nothing to get pumped about. Was strangely reminiscent of closing day conditions and a great reminder as to why I dislike night skiing. Things werent too scrapy/icy but it was a little slushy. Lower paradise was like a mini mogul field. Also, my legs were on fire.

Good thing I brought my gear to work. First opening day night session for me since that 2 day Monday opening in I believe 2015

No one showed up.

I don’t know about that.

They're all a bunch of jealous haters

Salty and I wonder why so many people have you on ignore.

#epicpass did me dirty today! Lol I wanted to stop somewhere and ski on my drive to Marble. Thinking over my options I imagined long lift lines everywhere. Since I was solo, I just wanted to do some laps. Then it hit me; Beaver Creek! Nobody does day trips from the front range. I checked their website and they had 2 high speed quads running, perfect! As I passed the exits for WP and Copper I was patting myself on the back for such a smart decision on my part. I was at BC one time 10 years ago, I forgot how fancy it is. Pull up to the gated community it is and ask the attendant to direct me to the free parking. She informs me there is no free parking at Beaver Creek, of course there isn’t. My options are a $10 lot near the gate I have to shuttle from, or for $5 more I can park in the garage at the base. No brainer. Getting ready I think how fast a person could get soft booting up in a heated garage. I emerge at the base to find plenty of people in fancy ski outfits sitting around fireplaces drinking hot totties. Nobody seems to be on the snow, again, perfect. I go inside to have my epic pass printed and the guy says my pass is restricted. When he sees my confused face he elaborates further, it is a blackout holiday and I only have the epic local pass. Never would I have thought to check the website that a day in Nov would be blacked out. I felt like a complete dope. Out of principal I could not buy a day ticket so off I went. Hopefully I can hit it on my way back to Boulder.
