No game. Dropped my oldest at the airport then took my middle and her friend into the city. Just visited the 911 memorial which is pretty intense

Not quite the same but last fishing trip off sandy hook...

Normal snowfall for December. Kick ass Winter from middle January to end of February !!! Time well spent watching this video !🤟🙌

Gee I must have missed the Belle report…

Representing the skiers…

Drove to Dirty Jersey. Got pissed looking for ski slope in shopping mall. Dug out phone twice to pull up QR code while juggling ski gear. Got irritated with inefficient check in process. Thought blue wrist band thingy was dumb. Sat on floor to boot up due to crowds occupying benches. Shredded the gnar radically. Talked to cute snowboarder chick on ski lift. Forgot to get digits. Tackled steep run on left, and steep run on right. Repeated. Stood in a line. Left. Watched vultures hovering over my parking spot while slowly stowing ski gear. Paid five dollah to leave. Was totally amazing and best indoor ski day ever.

Can you give a summary.

Still no lines at midday. And nice conditions on Belt and Hellgate on down. Looks like next to open will be Minya and Overlook. Clam Chowder lunch in foreground.

Ski you Friday

Keep this going until January!

At BC to get my pass....

All this rain should be good for the snowmaking ponds.

After watching the video I posted the couple day warmup is temporary. December will be okay.

By Wednesday they’ll have enough to open…the challenge like most years will be staying open. Blue has to realize the next 36+ hour snowmaking window might be all they get then next couple weeks so they really have to focus their efforts. I can’t imagine that kind of pep talk the snowmakers are getting from the top executive but it better be motivational and inspirational!!!

Im not certain as I couldnt see well but they clearly lifted a large plate with the escavator before continuing to dig. Makes me think there's a valving box there.

Probably. My best guess at this point would be it was a isolation valve not holding thst they temp capped. Which would potentially mean temporarily no water supply that direction until valve replaced. Or possibly just reduced openining plan since they lost 12+ hours to ensure they open on the 1st.

daytime temps have been going colder the past few days. good for us. this was like wednesdays foecast. i do find it a little odd Vista isnt getting the treatment. Maybe there is more to the story than that one break we saw on cam, and its affecting snowmaking on Vista?

The forecast was a degree or so above for Tuesday,Wednesday. After Friday I don’t see any nights below freezing for four days and some rain ☹️ Waiting for the “Weather Weeklies “ video from Eastern Pa. Weather authority . He usually posts it earlier. Wondering if there was a change in long range?

Hunter tomorrow

It's kind of odd, on the slopsode cam you can catch occasional snowclouds that make it look like they are blowing on Burma, but they aren't blowing on Vista or even the crossover from Come Around, so it would be puzzling that the would bother with Burma. Unless those clouds are from all the way down on Valley School.. Maybe they're just in one of their common inversions

They had a shot, blew it. Then, expect they wont have other issues? They will. Cool that the tubbin' hill is getting attn tho See y'all in two weeks.

Tried out the HOK skis today! We got about 4+ inches overnight and it was snowy all morning. There were 5 of us today and we went to the same park but went in the trees more. The HOK skis are definitely good for that, walking over logs etc. Descending the small hills is so much easier. With the permanent skin on the middle third it really slows you down. It fees much different then trying to descend with full skins on my touring skis. These don’t grab as much. Overall we just tooled around looking for little hills do go down. Some look like they will be fun when they get filled in more.

Nailed it Blue if your primary care is terrain. CBK King if you want full resort experience.

Let’s see those Christmas ornaments.. My coworker made me this last year! And a couple more.

Camelback as the smaller overflow mountain? I can't possibly imagine that. There's no way that camelback, from a business perspective, is anyone's little brother. Blue is the black sheep brother in the family, but at this point the parents have finally put their foot down and Blue needs to try to get it's shit together. I see it as CBK as the older brother who has had a nice comfortable accounting job and a family for a while and Blue just got forced to go back to community college.

A 5 gallon bucket with some oil dry (kitty litter) keep in the vehicle along with a change of clothes and a roll of tp. I keep mental notes of where the rail trail parking is, road construction sites . Usually a job johnny available. Wawa , Sheetz . I’m not the most religious person but I’ve prayed the stalls open many times. I’ve yet to have a blowout but came close. My buddy has the record for the most embarrassing and most conspicuous emergency. Top of Tuckerman headwall.He started his run then stopped and for a cheering lunchrock crowd dropped a log 😳😂

My boat has a makeshift toilet. Can't tell ya how many times on the middle of Lake Champlain or Lake Ontario I had to use it as such

Blue's coverage this afternoon is lookin' thiiiic. I think they're about ready to open. Look at all those whales I circled the powder coverage to make it easier to find. Sick!

I’ve been occasionally waking my kids up by farting really loud. If I have to fart, I go in one of their rooms right by the bed and blast off super loud. We both crack up and starting the day with a big laugh is the best way to set up a great day.

Still waiting on your season opening day at Big Snow TR. 🙃

Hate that damn place. Been stuck here for the past 15 hours on a double shift
