Yesterday was lots of fun sking the same 3 trails with the usual suspects, and some of the usual crew that made yesterday thier first day. Excellent selection of trunk beers. Parking lot buffet was off the charts. i think i ate half of the pork belly. The stretch of paradise after coming soon was so interesting by 9:15. Reminescent of lower main on early season days. I think this weekend will be a little rinse and repeat, but thats cool with me.

Snow was pretty good for first day, with an appropriate level of rowdy. Super super sweet to see everyone and hang out, hopefully it gets cold and we can do this 7 days a week soon

Mostly took our gear for a walk today. Boreas Pass from the Como side. First mile we kept putting skis on then taking them off. Then we had some good snow for the next mile. Then it all turned to shit so we turned around. Carried skis most of the way down. took one picture

Hey all, Im back from a fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. Everybody was in the house except for Toast and Schifdawg. The temperature was around 30 degrees under sunny sky’s. Second civilian quad and first run on Freefall was solid snow but smooth. Better than I expected. Paradise was firm sugar and Burma was firm not much sugar. Crowds were light and the most congested was lower paradise. I skiing a whopping 8 runs and then hungout in the lot drinking beer, eating chips and we also had our first sausage Sunday of the year which was Uber good. I had a slider burger, steak, burnt ends, chicken and sausage. I hungout in the lot until about 1 and back at work now but need a nap. JADIP

Looks rad, bring a blacklight.

What would be the point? They have no base down and anything they would have blown last night would likely be washed away with the rain the next two days

Fun morning. Snow was better than I thought it would be early on. Paradise turned to slop. Always fun with the PASR crew regardless. Good morning.

Thank goodness for the blue mt snowmaking system taking advantage because after today the forecast is complete trash.

The snowmaking cannons are fired up..gonna be some darn good snowmaking temperatures through late morning Monday. The snowmaking team continues to go full send.

Great seeing everyone today and getting back out on the snow. Pork belly burnt ends in the lot were awesome (as was the rest of the food)

Grate report and WTGAI JADIP!! My favorite part was when you said Burma was firm, and also when you capitalized the U in Uber because your phone autocorrected since you probably type the car share app name frequently. It's really nice to see some quality ski content for a change after 90% trash posts this week and maybe even the week before, so let me contribute also: I arrived at Blue Mountain the True Mountain around 1030 and sunny skys. It was nice catching up with everyone especially NMSki, he is a really funny and swell guy and asked me if I'm going to Jackson Hole. Afterwards I made my way to the Quad chairlift and skied on Trail Coming Soon twice, then Tuts Lane to Connector to Vista to Upper Burma to Lower Burma past the ghosts of the Main Chair/Burma lifts and then Homestretch. It was sick. Then I skied Trail Coming Soon a few more times as it was amazingly good... Mid winter quality good as the sun softened up all the powder. Plus there was no one on it and it's nice and wide. Soooo much better than opening with Midway, I hope they continue to open with Trail Coming Soon every year. The only part that sucked was lower Paradise as it was basically a mine field dodging numerous gapers and Uber choppy perder. They should make a new trail off to the right or something and around the snowmaking retention pond so it eventually connects to the Quad, so we don't have to dodge gapers anymore. I haven't checked a map and don't know if it's physically possible but I'm sure they can figure it out. After caught up with Grilled Steeze, Matt Edge and PSU Fly and we discussed dating and how being a pilot is basically like being a chick magnet. Also Enjoralas was finishing teaching his youngsters how to shred. Overall a great terrific second day at Blue Mountain the True Mountain JADIP WTGAI TFTI

Today was awesome. Nice to see everyone and catch up. @enjoralas crushed it again as usual, thanks Walt. So, so fun to be back.

If I followed the yellow brick road I’d end up walking into the wall.

You tagged the wrong @RidgeRacerand my guess is orange

Yes and it’s always been 10% off. Also Burma and Main Street chairs are still available for $1200

Didn’t get there until around 10. I think you all were already in the parking lot. Took 9 runs and called it a day. Snow got sugary with scattered boilerplate. Place got crowded, saw folks buying tickets, both bars busy, folks buying food, so hopefully they are making money.

Just saying that Blue isn’t the only resort that took several months longer for delivery of their new lift.

Might hit Hunter briefly on Sunday AM. Gonna be taking Joy to Roxbury Motel for birthday getaway. She likes to sleep in, so if I get up early I will get in 5-6 runs while she sleeps.

Comparing Blues lift, with access to both the base and summit VIA a parking lot, and an access road is kinda different than thunder at JH, and i assume Abasins lift isnt quite as accessable as Blues, is a little skewed, no?

aww darn I didn't see this post before I passed out last night. I was in a blue Jacket / black pants today with a black helmet. Was going very slow to try to practice my form and get my legs used to skiing rather than snowboarding. All in all a good day. I got 7 runs in and only wiped out twice. Not to mention I didn't have a raccoon try to attack me on the slope this time 🤣 I may try to ditch work and head out on Friday, since next weekend I have to play dad's Uber service and pick both my daughters up at the airport on subsequent days because they are coming home from college for the holiday.

Had something to do in the AM so didnt get on snow w/ kids & wife until after 1. Burma / Paradise were as mentioned very sloppy and annoyingly crowded at parts. Coming soon was still nice though and we lapped that 3X. Lift line started getting long with people still coming in when we left around 4. Happy to get a day in this early - Blue did good to get open with the limited snomaking temps they had to work with. They are blowing now hope they push it hard this week and open some more terrain.

First day on Head Kore 93s, 170s. Going wider and shorter for old geezer skis. Had demoed them at Tahoe last spring and liked the the most of the wider skis I tried. Did well today, relatively fast turning, handled the mid morning marbles and was able to do speed control skidding a lot better than my longer Rossi Experience 88s. Blue Mountain ski shop experience was very good.

Room with 1 king for us

Wow just wow I was hoping the mental image would leave you healed and reformed.

Those are big beds. Me you and edge in one bed..I assume you have a foot fetish so you can lay in the middle head to toe so you’ll have four crusty feet in your face. Ski2Live, Joy and the rest of the Beagles can have the other bed.

Bummer that I missed it! Glad you got after it. On Saturday night, PPA decided to relocate my car in a 'dude's where my car' x Parking Wars remix. Threw off the ski plans for Sunday. 😑
