Have fun. Skis are packed away for the season. Planning out next year though!

If purchased in advance by Friday. Think I will do this deal instead of BEast

The only skiing board where useful lift ticket deal and resort opening information is less welcome than updates on proposed Lehigh Valley tailgating menus

Have fun…conditions are always best where you are buckaroo

The Bermuda is coming back to life finally, which is a sight for sore eyes after being dormant for 4 months.

No doubt a Hertz ex rental car that was “well maintained”.

Had some beautiful people helicoptered in from Telluride last night. I mean really?! Let me paint the scene for you; Main guy ($)- blonde curly hair cascading over his shoulders mid 50’s his woman- 30 if that, walks in w full length fur coat with a second fur coat draped over her arm. guy #3- man bun- enough said guy # 4- pilot finally some sun this morning. This place is the bomb. Would recommend to anyone.

I fully admit I am not good at doing full days. We did a 1/2 day. Forecast was a high of 10 degrees with snow and blustery winds. It was accurate. Visibility was very very bad. Our guide took us to a mellow ish spot about 30 degree descent. For some reason a 30 degree slope feels a lot more intense in the backcountry. We followed the skin track about 1/4 mile from the lodge, then our wonderful guide broke trail for the rest of it. We had about 6” of snow overnight and it was fluffy and light. our guide my friend Ilise is by a tree but is blending in. We were in the Red Mountain 3 zone and saw what that face looked like and it was def above my ability. We cut thru the trees to a run called “Hollywood”. I forgot how much it sucked to transition in true backcountry conditions. Wind, snow, freezing temps and deep powder. Nobody had been on our run today, it was all virgin snow. I am still intimidated by powder mostly because of all my stupid injuries. The guide and Ilise zoomed down and Jesus I was slow. At one point I stopped because I felt like I had vertigo from the white out conditions. Who am I kidding, I stopped several times 😂. My form was awful. The guide is going to send some pics but I almost don’t even want to see them. then we transitioned back to skins and went back thru the trees to “Bollywood”. We started to ascend but surprisingly we’re already pretty beat up. So we opted to ski down from where we were on the lower half of Bollywood. I felt a bit better in that run. To add insult to injury we had to transition yet again to skins as it was uphill back to the lodge. And 5 min before we got there the skies cleared up and it was beautiful If you zoom in to the center part in the trees you can see our skin tracks up and descent tracks from lower Bollywood. Hollywood is further up then cutting thru the trees going left (uphill). You can actually see our uphill skin track on other side of trees in Hollywood. And some descent tracks as well
