Booked Presidents Day weekend for Thursday at Magic and Saturday and Sunday at Greek Peak. Originally trying to get to Berkshire East at some point but realized it’s blacked out that weekend since I only have the base Indy. Killington on Friday with our passes that @Boo Bearwon at the Warren Miller movie. First time there so excited to check it out and hoping crowds are not too bad for a holiday since it’s a Friday. If anyone wants to split a place or ski together, the more the merrier.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Who's in the Ho Ho Ho-use this weekend? Assuming @GrilledSteezeSandwichwill not be because he didn't start the roll call but if I recall he'll be riding his sleigh to Virginia. Saturday morning dress like an astronaut elf because it'll feel like the North Pole. Hopefully the snow conditions will make the good list however (the snow makers definitely have). Sunday the PASRs that weren't on the naughty list will likely be opening presents so no skiing...assuming@saltyantis getting coal. Monday however is an extension of this weekend and it's looking like we'll see some sun with temps a bit warmer than Saturday, but cold enough to keep the sugar plum fairies away from the mountain... hopefully for a long time. I'm planning on Saturday and Monday for sure. Happy holidays!

Sunday Okemo Monday Mt. Snow Fa la la https://fb.watch/hBuu5i1yFf/

Got about 10” temp is -15 with a high of 0 forecasted. Trying to get motivated to walk my dog.

Will they groom after the deep freeze? Or did they groom last night and will just reopen tomorrow morning on that groom? 🧊⛸️

Come out tomorrow and see for yourself

I’ll be there Monday. Heading to VA later this morning to see family.

It's turtleneck time! I'll be there for Saturday and Monday. I'm hoping Santa brings a fire pit or propane heater this Christmas to keep the lot warm. Or, gasp, perhaps a retreat into the bar will be on tap.

I’ll be there freezing my nips off on Saturday!

Back home from another fun day at Blue. Arrived in the lower lot around 8:15am with an outside temperature of 27' with calm winds and overcast skies. No guns were ablaze, but Falls looking groomed and shortly thereafter a SP cruised down, so yet another @RootDKJ down will be had. No precipitation had been encountered on the ride up, but temps on the South side of the Blue ridge were in the lower 30's, so hoping for the best. In the house was @tarponhead and Bethlehem Ford guy crew. There must have been a newbie at the quad open because he couldn't figure out how to open all the gates and opened just one successfully which happened to be the one @tarponhead was in. He lucked out and obtained the first civilian quad solo by 4 chairs, while the rest of us complained. I skirted in front of others and entered through the only functioning gate to chase down @tarponhead down a glorious, grippy almost buttery Coming Soon run. Midway to Lower Main conditions were just as good if not better than Coming Soon and the lack of crowds gave each run entirely to us. Lazy to the Falls was silently smooth and the Falls headwall was a bit slick but free of cookies and marbles. The bottom of the Falls was solid, frozen cord. Precipitation started out as rain and sleet but later turned to some decent snow for a while until turning back to sleet that pelted all exposed skin. Took a ride up the Vista chair to see what was going on at the top of the new lift. Some workers were mucking with the safety bars on the chairs, probably just final adjustments. Also in the valley they were loading up trucks with various bits of equipment and one of the big diggers and driving them off. With the gloves sufficiently soaked and the rain coming down harder, we bailed around noon to the bar coated in ice like a couple of glazed donuts.

It was very good. Midway to Main ROTD. PASRs were here. Guns on. Sun out. Enjoy your day.

My kerosene tank is frozen again so no heat. I have to deal with this bullshit every single time it is 0 degrees out

I'll be there tomorrow morning and then I'm gone until after the new year.

Tits magee sort of shit this AM on Midway to Main St. Ate shit on some ice in the base area walking to the lift. Need new ski pants now as my skis cut my pants when I went down.
