Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain. I arrived at the lower lot before 720 and it was 26 degrees under Cloudy skies. The snowmaking cannons were turned off but snow was made all over the mountain overnight. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Johnny Law, TP4, Dirtwolf, Boo Bear, Enjorales, Pops, Bethlehem ford crew, PARidge, BenM, Mixilplix and many others. I skied challenge first and it was ok, some slow spots, Coming soon was ok at the top but lower paradise was rough, uneven snow and some slick spots. Main Street had a lot of sugar, switchback was decent but a lot of people on it and lazy mike was crazy mile. The chute skied well but has a lot of loose rocks and Burma was ok. Fun parking lot today with beers, snacks, burgers, dogs, fatties, squirting cheesy sausages as well. Now I’m half asleep at work. JADIP

Longest day at Blue this year and probably the slowest but we had a good time with the kids. Props to @enjoralasand the rest of the PASRs for welcoming our friends. They were raving about the bacon cheeseburgers and how friendly everyone was. Went back out to catch a couple runs before their 4 hour pass ended. The sugar softened up to cream and it was fun. Kids were loving Burma with the side hits and Yeti park but still can’t convince them to French fry before the Main State flat and make it across. The line wasn’t too bad at the new 6 but the amount of people and skis laying on the snow in front of it was a pain to get through. I guess lack of snow also doesn’t help anyone spread out.

Today was fun- first time that we were the last ones in the lot. Our friends didn’t get at first why we were so specific where we park, but after returning to the lot for a break they totally got it. Thanks @enjoralasfor the feast. I was shocked with how crowded the slopes were staying out so much later, but people were not going at Mach speed like they do on weeknights, which was a refreshing change with kids in tow. Looking forward to heading back up for a double dip during the Super Bowl.

Double dip tonight was worth it, I think Main Street was the run of the night, lots of fun bumps to play in on upper main. Lazy was a close second. Switch was completely scraped off, powdered sugar on an ice cube. Crowds were light, skied right onto every lift, lots of kids out on the mountain but steering clear of paradise and Burma and there was usually only 1 other person on the trail. Sunday nights remain my favorite night… but Super Bowl night is extra special whoops wrong thread!

Got on the snow around 8 35...season pass holders from 8 30 to 9 but no one checks anyway. Boomer and smoke are decent. Rattler looks rough at the top but actually really good

200000% agree, today was good and switch was very good but it's all about that free release. The booter is perfect, unless your exceptionally precise each takeoff is slightly different. Each time it's hurling you ass into the right with lots of speed slightly off balance in a fast transition to the edge. Snow elsewhere was a hodge podge and the trails felt busy af but nobody used to ski switch so maybe it's just in my head. Massive props to Enjo, you put on a feast and the amount of joy you bring to so many strangers......Your like the mother Teresa of meats and all things delicious.

This morning started out promising. Started out on the Silver Queen and did a warm up lap on Paradise. Then headed over and did a lap on Keystone which is a steep run for me. Those 2 runs were best of the day. Things started getting skied off and the runs crowded after that. Weird bro vibe and dudes skiing like assholes had me saying I was gonna call it a day early. A few of Dan off of Keystone Dan was going to stay for a few more and then come back and go to town for lunch.

I lost my wallet at Whiteface a while ago. I remember thinking oh well...looks I need to cancel credit cards, replace everything etc. Was pretty bummed. Toward the end of the day as I was getting ready to leave I was riding the face lift and faintly heard my name called on the loud speaker down by the lodge. Skied down to find that a good Samaritan (such as yourself) turned my shit in. Trust me you made someone's day, week and year.

Perfect, sunny, warm solo day at CB. Ran the groomers until about 10:30, then dabbled in the woods and bumps in between trails, while trying to keep myself out of liftlines, as it got pretty busy, or at least busier than its been. Using the singles line was a 50/50, sometimes it was faster, sometimes i watched groups of 4 just cycling by. 2 observations here. its very infrequent to find someone skiing something they shouldn't be on. Maybe this is at most resorts out of our area, but it sure is a nice break from human slalom. And there are a TON of little people half my size here that just rip this mountain up. Barbs neighbors kid is 7, and supposed to be just at another level. Met alot of Texans, and a bunch of people from Telluride. weather might start to get a little more interesting depending on what forecast you want to believe, but most of them point to tues/wed for some decent accumulation. I leave Wednesday, but the flights in the afternoon, so i will probably add a day to my pass and ski in the AM. time will tell on that one. At lunch i was running the numbers as to how much each run is costing me based on what i purchased the 6 day pass for, i had an outstanding revelation that had i gone ahead and got the Epic pass, i would have saved 20% on my lodge food probably totaling up to a whopping $25. So to offset that i am drinking as much of their free water as possible. More sun on tap for tomorrow, and hopefully lower crowds. Jadip 2 crappy pics coming up.

Empty groomers this morning.

I forgot that you were going to be up there today! I would have kept my eyes peeled. Mostly lapped the north face with my son, then had 6 slices of Revellos pizza at the Midland. Here’s a couple crappy iPhone SE pictures of my son getting steezy.

Double tap glade, which has been my go to.

Busy at CB today. Big crowd early on but we got in a few real nice empty groomers. Bumps and trees are getting a little banged up, anything in yesterdays sun was getting firm, but still skiable. Left at 12, the incoming bus unloaded a full house. Took a walk in town with Barb, as we got ourselves in the mood for Ryce, only to find out they are closed on Sundays. Stopped at the Pita place and had a nice lunch. The Pita place has a bar, and people were definitely there claiming their seat for the game. Weather turns a little snowier tomorrow.

Fun morning at Blue today...First couple of trips down TCS and Switch were great....Conditions started to deteriorate as the morning went on....Main started to get thick. .Although I did a Raceway/Midway/Lower Main and it was good...That new six moves way more people than the double double ever could...It had the line moving pretty quick...Riding single I could lap the quad easily..Fantastic array of edible delights in the lot thanks to @enjoralas...Great morning to be at Blue Mountain.....

Was too late to edit but had to add some dog pics. My dog found a fun friend on our post ski walk

Switch was good but I think what we're starting to see is that the main street lift is bringing more people than ever onto that trail specifically. It was better than yesterday

No. I thought he was probably there but didn't see him. Mostly lapped phoebe snow lift with one run off long haul. Beer time at Breaker brewing

Spied a plastic bag in the snow on lower Main from the flying couch, looked like it contained a cellphone. Skied down to find it contained someone's wallet! I bet they were bummin' big time when they discovered it missing. Hopefully they went in and claimed it.

Today was good at Blue and also pretty good over at Eagle Rock, even though my stop over there doesn't count as a second ski day. I arrived at the lodge around 12:30 and hung out with my brother for a while. Was nice to just chat and hang out. Eventually I got the gear out of the car and got it on the snow. I put the split board in touring mode and shuffled up this little ridge next to the lodge to get the feel for it and it came much more naturally than I expected. Since the lodge is at the top I ripped off the skins, reconnected the board and headed down. There was a trail there called halfpipe that is not really a pipe but has sloped walls on both sides. That was really fun to noodle around in, then I dropped down their only open diamond called Predator. It's got a nice sustained pitch and is somewhat steep. Kind of like a longer Chute. I took the super old wooden seat double up and rode down the only other route to the bottom which is a green that drops into a blue for a little switchback and a decent pitch to the bottom. At the bottom the transition to tour mkde went really smoothly and while I was switching bindings a kid had a fantastic yard sale to the side of me, probably slid 100 yards, but he seemed ok and was laughing with his friends about it. Toured back up that same trail. 0.64 miles, around 425 vert in 23 minutes. Gear felt good, super comfortable. Bonus pic of a cool looking train I saw in Jim Thorpe.

Nice enjoyed it yestersay

@Schif Eagle Rock looked so Bad Ass today. I flew over some time after 2 pm so I guess you had already left.

Fun day at Elk Mountain! Conditions were far from perfect but pretty damn good considering how this winter has been. Only a couple closed trails, and they were blowing on a couple. They had blown a couple inches into the bumps on Tunkhannock overnight and it skied great. Even in the afternoon it wasn’t too icy. Definitely some icy spots on some trails and a few skid marks, but that’s to be expected considering the weather lately. Run of the day was Tecumseh. Snow and grooming was NICE on that one. Chilling with a brewski now and going to dinner at my spot Dino and Francesco’s tonight. Nice little day with the family.

Hey All, I’m back from a fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Johnny Law, PARidge, Schifdawg, Mute, Enjorales, Boo Bear, BenM, Indiggio, Salty, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Mixilplix, Harold and many others. First run was my first run of the season on Challenge, only about 2 months late..you had to stay in your lane as there were multiple ridges, better than expected. Next run was nightmare to dreamweaver and it was dark and fast, the first corner was slicker than the last corner. Main Street was variable and some cookies and word was that the chute was good and Switchback had a big mother fucking booster. Paradise was thick sludge..not good and coming soon was alright. Lazy mile wasn’t very good but not that crazy and Yeti had some fantastic cord. All in all refrozen day after spring conditions but due to the lock of snow in the flatlands it wasn’t that busy. The temperature was in the mid 30s rising into the low 40s but never felt that warm with the winds. Ski everybody tomorrow.

Wow a Bro vibe in Colorado wow just wow. Thankfully we don’t have that at Blue mountain…it’s a bunch of renaissance men.

Nice! Pretty soon they’ll be able to beat GSS in a Chinese downhill

Big shout out to @mute1080 and @Mixilplix for helping me with the skins.

Conditions were crap with the exception of NMDW and first challenge run. Switch was a cookie field, as was main, as was lazy, as was challenge (after the first run) as was home stretch, etc etc. Still fun cause we were skiing.

Mmmmm apre' ski food.

Ooooh lo que deejo

@NMSKI no worries, looks like you guys had fun...was wondering if you were there. I had 2 slices of Revellos at Midland around 11 30. Midland is pretty convenient for a snack and a beer

Way to get after it!!! Was rad seeing your crew right under the new super summit safari six pack. Also nice seeing your friends and their kids get to try some of Enjorales deliciousness and also the Bethlehem ford crew..that fatty OMG..and it had me sweating..wooo

The beginner lift is just towers and stations now. The haul rope and chairs are gone. Instead of having a chair for the beginner area they have a Polaris with treads instead of wheels that a guy drives up and down to shuttle people back to the top

Love the double roast beef.

I thought conditions improved as the morning went on...The cookies at the tops of Main and Switch did suck but they thinned out pretty quick...Nice little drop off on Switch...NM/DW and TCS rode nice....Lazy was kinda meh...Sunny/Chilly morning with some gusty breezes....Good time on the snow....

Girls 1st trip down White Lighning today. No falls. Good time to give it a try when snow softened up this afternoon and it had been recently groomed. Tells me they can now ski anything in PA when conditions are decent.

Challenge was ok..you just had to stay in your lane.

I thought switch was good for the booter alone, plus the cookies got smaller as you went down.

That’s me, the eternal optimist.

You've spent too many years and Jack Frost and not enough at blue my friend. Challenge was like a giant ruffles potatoe chip with it's weird ridges in between and switch was a cookie field

My vote is that with the whales sitting there for a week the grooming will turn out great on Challenge and SB.

He never posts in that thread. You and Ski2Live and Matt edge should take a trip to Jackson Hole and don’t forget to invite your buddy Eaf..y’all can share Fondue at the AlpenRose

Another great day at CB with Barb. Cold start, but sun was out in force. Nice fast groomer runs off of Paradise, and then some trees and bumps down at East River before lunch. Ran some laps off of Silver Queen after lunch, some slicky slicky but still edge-able, dipped in some trees, played in some bumps. Trees are pretty tight at CB, so probably spending more time in the bumps. legs feel way better today. My Iphone 2 is circling the drain, and the battery goes dead really fast, so picture time is limited to first thing in the am, or right after i can charge it a lunch, so pics are pretty limited. Horseshoe -

Back from a beautiful morning session. Much warmer today even though it was -10 for my morning dog walk. Yesterday we got on the lift at 9:02, today it was 9:04. Epic mix gives you all the stats. Snow was MUCH improved today! It skied fast. Sun was out! Did a few on Paradise then headed down to East River. Black Eagle, one of my go to runs, was icy. I called it icy, Dan called it slick. couple of Dan Couple of me I left after 14 runs Dan moving onto bigger stuff. It was nice of him to hang w me this morning. had the Korean beef again for lunch, pic for Doug

@Ski2Live Live2Skijust here to report that Teo 2 is now open at CB. So now 100% of their terrain is open. Lots of extreme terrain if you were doing the cost analysis on where to go next.

Normally posting in the wrong thread would earn you a Strike 2 from @GrilledSteezeSandwich, but because this is your first time he'll likely let it slide!

You’re not a gaper any less either lol.

You’d get used to it and you’d like it. Do you have any good memories from when you worked at Eagle Rock?
