Hey All, I’m back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived in the lower lot around 8:37 and it was in the upper 20s with moderate winds and partly sunny sky’s. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Dirtwolf, Johnny law, Jimmy, Oz, Bethlehem Ford guy and Rodney. There were a solid amount of people in the house. I also think more people are parking at the bottom and the south lot is still closed. Managed first civilian quad even though I was second row at the gates. Coming soon was a treat..very nice groomed snow and good lighting. Lower paradise had some slick uneven areas and wasn’t that good. Skied that three times until it got crowded then did midway to main street four times. Midway was ok, a little loose chop and lower main street was a western groomer. So good and empty since it’s a lot of work to get over there as you still have to traverse over to vista. I’ll be back tomorrow at opening. JADIP

Really was excellent in spots ... first down Coming Soon was a carpet. But Main St was the ROTD. Super grippy and smooth.

At least with those weekend temps they should be able to really crush some snowmaking.

No way in hell I was waking up to ski this morning so by the time I got my shit together it was 3pm. Only the quad was running and with the groups the line was busy, maybe 5 or 10 mins. Everything except main was riding the sugar berm. Where it's flat its very nice with a soft sugary toping but any turn of merit was cleaned smooth until a massive berm of sugar. Sling shooting it was fun but I was thinking the lines weren't worth it until I worked over to main. With only the quad running nobody was home and I ran that 7 times in a row a only had one person on a run. From the last wiggle on midway to the bottom was super nice smooth gripy snow where you can arc them to your hearts content. Most nice afternoon/early evening but I wish they'd run the sixer. As of 530 they were blowing falls to good accumulation, razors to about maybe 6" and the learning areas. They were loading chairs on the new lift and big news of the day tubing is galactic......I like the purple 💜

Forecast for the coming week. It keeps the crowds down,

Arrived at 630 to find out I forgot my kids coat and pass. Luckily family lives near by and had a coat. Went in for another pass after my second arrival and was informed it is $20 for a replacement pass. She was feeling festive so she waived it but said she’ll make a note so I don’t get it again. I asked if you could use the $50 e-gift card for it and she laughed and said “probably not.” Not sure if she thought it was a joke or she didn’t actually know about the $50 season pass credit. On the snow at 7 with the post dinner and the quad line was past the gates. Middle of the runs were scraped and the sides were Baby Bash Suga Suga. Line got smaller each time down until it was only a couple people deep. Had fun bumping around on the sides of Lazy and Paradise with the little one until 815. @GrilledSteezeSandwichsince you asked. Chicken nugs with ketchup due to the time crunch. edit: someone dropped off the quad to get first tracks on Falls WTGAI

I think his name is greg but I normally call him Jskis guy or Darth Vader but he actually looks most like the Cylons from Battlestar Galatica. I haven't seen him yet this year but razors isn't open yet and that's his favorite.

Paging @rummy

It's like going to Vermont, without the drive. We end up there after President's Day thanks to a free pass from the Warren Miller Film when it is at NCC. Always a good time even with the slower lifts.

Looks like Keith Hernandez.

That would be fantastic.

What a wonderful sight!

Skied with PASRS. First two runs were money. Decent conditions after. Midway was a minefield. trunk beers and meat. good day.

Good one

Picked up my pass this evening. quiet mountain. Just a heads up they WILL NOT be opening on the 22nd. The lady at the front desk said they’re are not aiming for Saturday.

I didn't see Flooyd fooley. I think I may have heard a rumour that it might have had one snowflake of perder on it, or not.

He was up opening weekend.

I slept through my alarm so I got there as the first chair group was pulling out. With excellent beta I didn't fuck around and took one run down lazy to warm up and then the next 8 down Main. To my last run around 1230 it was a perfect carpet and with one exception totally empty. It's soooooo nice to let the dogs really run and I really like the spot where midway falls over to main, far right entrance, early over and power down straight down the fall line hugging the left side of main it's like you've gone plaid. I think this was posted before maybe but who is on the sticker the pontoon van has on the back ?

Should have stayed for a few more runs. I agree that ROTD was Main St.

I want to share a month with @eafalso. We are the three amigos

I’ll SUJOPO to that.

Wow Friday at Stowe high of 54 low of 16

It was -2°F at the summit mid morning.

God, no!

I need to go night skiing this season. My scratched up night skiing goggles were starring at me. that’s the kind of crowd where they think you’re with the race team or something One Day the bump guys always used to wear a Japanese ski team jacket and I just assumed he was with the team. He probably could get into some cool members only events rocking that parka

Welcome back Sibhusky!!! At some point PM me your mailing address, I’ll put you on the list for a free Men of PASR calendar.

I haven’t checked their snow report yet this season I think they’ve received more than 8”

‘Shroon party then hit the tubing hill!

Today

@Dirtwolfdo you mind sharing a month with @MattEDGE I’m thinking maybe make the calendar 14 months with December of 2023 and January of 2025. It’s way to late to do a 2023 calendar. Between the printing and photo session logistics I’d rather this be a slow and deliberate process. January: Atomic Jeff our fearless leader February: Johnny fucking Law March: NMSki April: combined Phillycore/JFDan/PARidgeRacer..JF crue May: Enjorales/Pops June: BenM and PSUFly..sorry y’all haven’t been on PASR long enough to get your own month. July: Me August: TP4 and Schifdawg September: Mute, Toast, Justo and KT..For back to school since they all went to the same school. October: Boomers month MBike, Indiggio, Tarpenhead, Nastar Glenn and Mixilplix. MomSkeeze might reconsider with this month alone. November: Salty and Ski2Live December: Matt Edge and DirtWolf

I bet you’d want one if we gave Schifdawg one of the summer months.

My tummy is hot from the habanero salt. Interesting gastrointestinal developments ahead….

This would actually be awesome. If you guys (of PASR) spoofed some awkward 80’s family portraits like the following ok maybe not the naked one……

Where was the car with the giraffe sticking up through the roof? What a gyp!

Simple. They aren't paying attention. You have headphones in walking down a track and an electric regional rail train is barreling down on you at 100mph, you're gonna get smoked.

You could theoretically get to Whitefish from where you are by train. A bus to Philly, then train to Washington, Chicago, Whitefish.

That means rock loses

Durango/silverton RR? Always wanted to ride that.

Excellent train spectating on the looooooong drive to Taos, NM.

Stay classy ?

I'm hearing train whistles through my office window right now!

Tahachapi Loop takes it I think.

Horseshoe Curve.....nuff said

You can't be serious..... Looking forward to reading this

Lots of train stories... Studied a semester in Rome and did the eurail pass / backpack summer thing including ski trips Dead shows by plane and train New Rochelle/ Catskills trips by train Will expand on another time.....

I rode a train from Frankfurt to Bonn. It was very enjoyable.

Passenger trains don't interest me.
