Currently eating way too much at the Capital one lounge in Denver Airport. Flight boards for Spokane in about 2 hours. Not sure what my schedule is for mountains. Lookout pass, lost trail, Silver, and 49 degrees north for sure. Maybe Montana Snowbowl, Whitefish, or Blacktail. Maybe guided fishing one morning or afternoon if I feel like it.

Pretty good day at Silver mountain. They have some pretty steep runs although some of the stuff off lift 4, as well as the North Face, was closed for avalanche risk. The glades that were open were pretty fun and good spacing in the trees. It was a little confusing to get around and I had to avoid the cat tracks since the snow was pretty slow. It was probably 75 degrees at one point, I was drinking beers in a t shirt. Got back to the base area around 3 and did some fishing. The river is running pretty high from the snow melting. I went fishing after dinner too and missed a few fish on dry flies, but there wasn't much action.

Today was a helluva day! Thanks everyone for eating. And of course thanks to everyone who brought their own tasty delights. Dan's breakfast entree was the perfect kickoff, and per usual I was fashionably late but having the van with the microwave to eat it hot right off the jump was was clutch. Those stuffed pretzels from Frankenstein were probably the best thing I ate all day. Mike's pepperoni bread delicious too. Many others I didn't get to try . . . See everyone for at least one more weekend!

Got here shortly after 10. Place is empty...a lot of stuff is closed due avalanche danger unfortunately but loving it so far

Condo is pretty awesome. Think my plan is to hit Silver today and tomorrow or Sunday. Somewhere in Montana Friday...fishing Saturday so may or may not ride depending on what time the trip is done. Lookout pass either tomorrow or Sunday. Somewhere in Washington Monday and probably a short session at 49 degrees north Tuesday before flying back

Hey All, I’m back from another fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot before 720am and Atomic Jeff and Johnny law were already in the house. They were joined by JFDan, Mute, MBike Mike, Nastar Glenn, Mixilplix, Charles, Airhead, Spyder, Falco, Shopey1080, Schifdawg, Nancy, PARidge, LiftieBob, Indiggio, BenM, Jimmy, Craig, Salty, Harold, Kumar, Randy, Enjorales, Mike from Beth ford crew, Mark, TheDude, Mamaskeeze, PSUFrankenstein and many others. The temperature was in the upper 20s to begin rising through the 30s and 40s under mostly sunny sky’s. We first had some breakfast food compliments of JFDan and PSUFrank then I skied a short session including two runs on Main Street which was decent, a little bit of bite but consistent. Paradise was also ok. They blew snow on all the runouts which just made them slow and sticky. Lazy mile was decent early on and challenge had mini cookies but I heard it softened up. Paraweaver was enjoyable as well. I went back off the snow to take a piss and grab another beer and ended up hanging in the lot for awhile then went back out and hit up the chute which had a few soft turns in the sun. Back to Paraweaver again and to the lot and by now Enjorales was cooking up a storm. Burnt ends, bacon wrapped peppers, steak on salt blocks and shrimp were my favorite along with pina colada slushies. Custard filled donut as well and JFDans egg casserole all elite. The hours in the lot flew by and before I could blink it was already like 330..I peaced out as a moderate to severe hangover started to creep on. All in all was a pretty perfect party day and we still have more skiing next weekend and maybe in April… JADIP

Awesome day. Snow was pretty good, stayed until 5 30 ish...Enjorales kept putting insanely good food out all day...Great beers, hanging out with the best parking lot crew all day was a great end to what is likely my last day on the snow in PA this season

Blue is planning on being open April 5th and 6th as well. Probably be pretty limited terrain but way to go blue.

Pretty good day at Silver mountain. Ride 9 30 to 1 30, most of the same trails as yesterday but explored some of the glades a bit today. South facing side was nice and pretty sunny, stuff off chairs 3 and 4 was super foggy. Really cool mountain and some pretty steep runs. Also a trail called half pipe thats a natural half pipe as the name suggests. I'd like to come back when more stuff is open but I still had a great time

Yesterday was so so so so much fun, hyper big shout out to enjo as always dude you are the absolute goat. I've skied enough hills to know at the end of the day it's the people that make a place and it was an honor and a pleasure.

Fun day! Buttery bumps on coming soon 😊 Razors finally softened up around 2:30. Turtle man came over to me and asked in broken English if I would take some pictures of him with his phone said he was Japanese and autistic. He gets seizures while he skis but he really likes skiing IMG_9076.mov

Fun PASR party! Here are some pics I snapped of people Didn’t have a red carpet with a tiny microphone but i thought @Johnny Law, @mute1080 , @Mixilplix and @Dirtwolf‘s Canadian tuxedo were the best outfits of the day Here’s are some lifestyle shots some scenes from the food All of the food was delicious — as always. But these pretzel roll breakfast sandwiches were phenomenal

Such a good day.

Hey All, I’m back from another session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot before 720am and the temperature was around 30 degrees under partly sunny sky’s. In the house was everybody except Zonked, Nastar Glenn, Johnny Law and Matt Edge. I had low expectations with yesterday’s warmth and the overnight freeze but conditions were alright. Lazy mile and Paradise were decent initially as was Dreamweaver…nice groomed snow a little sugar and a few spots of boilerplate. Challenge was mini cookies but apparently it softened up pretty fast..Widowmaker to chute was pretty solid. I enjoyed Burma as it was smooth and no people on it. I also skied the woods next to Barney’s bumps and surprisingly good as long as you stayed in a three foot wide path. Temperatures rose into the 40s but it also became more overcast. I ended up skiing 11 runs then a fun parking lot, I even went into the next row which is progressive. Now time to rest up for tomorrows party. JADIP

Way better than expected today. What's open has way better coverage than I anticipated. Props to blue...not only for the snow pack but for the litter clean up efforts. It's not fully cleaned but it's clear they made the effort. 65 to 70% is gone and it looks way better. But the good news doesn't end there. There are now no littering signs and trash cans at the entrance to each lift. All positive steps and keep up the good work there Blue! Back to the skiing...runs of the day for me were para weaver and the three runs through sleepy hollow to lower main. Sleepy hollow has a sliver in and a sliver out but if you go too low you had to ski through dirt or do you best Van Halen and Jump. Kept things interesting.Overall happy with conditions considering it's March 22nd.

Good times this weekend! Thanks all for the delicious food, tasty beverages, and most of all, thank you @mute1080, @Johnny Law, and I know a few others for helping to get our gear off the hill so I could help Rose to the lot.

Awesome day today... @enjoralas you, sir, are a king. We may ski on a tiny bump in PA, but we have the best crew anywhere!

Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830am and it was in the low 40s at the base and upper 40s up high, mad inversion Yo..what what if Que Que for the Spanish speaking snow sports enthusiasts. In the house were Bethlehem ford crew minus Bethlehem ford guy, Johnny Law, NMSki and Atomic Jeff. Third civilian quad and it stopped and sat idle for about 50 minutes near the bottom of paradise. We thought we were gonna have to be roped off. Finally at the top at 857am and wow were my legs stiff from sitting so long. Paradise was nice smooth spring snow..and then to the super summit safari six pack. Sheesh there was a mini liftline and Main Street and lazy mile were busy with people. I skied Widowmaker which was ok to chute which was thick not very good spring snow and lower Main Street not that good and narrow. Lazy mile was decent spring snow, the falls is getting lots of carnage as lower sidewinder closed is sending the herbs onto the falls. I skied a top to bottom Main Street and the top had a lot of hero snow then back into the fuckery of lower Main Street. Another lazy mile and then the OG six opened so I hoped on that and got a very smooth hero snow run on challenge. I would have stayed for a few more but had to peace out as I was already about a half hour behind schedule. I’m glad 2 out of three of the lifts worked today, just a shame lift roulette failed today. JADIP Ski most of you this weekend.

+++ VIBES +++ to Rose! Hope she's feeling better.

Sunday funday

Here are some life style shots:

I was accidentally added to the Blue Mountain leadership group chat and saw that they are opening up at least one of the days of April 5/6 next weekend.

I lost 85 pounds.

Stuck around for the season pass party that was very well attended and Blue did a very good job with it. When you registered, you got the typical drink ticket and raffle tickets as well as a new Blue mountain pom-pom ski cap! The party took over the entire upper level of the summit lodge, with the food in the big reception area and a band playing in the lounge. I failed to capture the name of the band, but had an attractive lead singer and played the typical party tune and did a good job at that. The food was all self-serve and consisted of a small salad bar, a pasta bar with pasta and tomato sauce and mac and cheese, a taco bar with all the fixings, a mashed potatoes bar with all sorts of toppings, a prime rib bar with horseradish sauce and a dessert bar with cookie and brownie trays. We didn't stick around for the raffle, as the snow started turning hero just before the party and returned to Razor bumps that we skied in earlier and had now softened. On a tip, we moved over to Coming Soon bumps that also turned hero and became the run of the day. The bumps were nice, big and round since they hadn't been skied much lately, which made for a heap of fun as the sun and blue skies unexpectedly appeared around 2pm, making for a fun spring skiing afternoon.

Wrapped up at lost trail around 2 30. Had a bratwurst and Bitterroot Brewing IPA and then fished for a bit on the way back to Missoula...lost a big trout and a few takes on dry flies but nothing officially caught. Saw a muskrat swimming around and some cool birds while fishing at a wildlife refuge. Drove back to Missoula and hit Imagine Nation Brewing for a flight and also got tacos from the food truck. Now I'm at Big Sky Brewing for another flight before I head back to the condo

More lost trail pics. Awesome place, I'd love to come back. Unfortunately I didn't get pics of some of the trees runs or another chute/bowl that I did. I tried using my ghetto go pro but apparently I just took a picture of the ground 😐 I don't have the remote with me so I was trying to turn it to video mode while it was on my helmet

Or jorts @Dirtwolf

BMR Frankie will be the MC again this year I guess my obnoxious "Bring back Frank-eeee!!" chants last year worked lol

Yesterday at the mountain I had a chicken sandwich...cooked chicken back at the condo last night and hit Radio Brewing for a late lunch today. Terrible pic but I had a peanut butter burger with Mexican pasta salad. Did a little fishing after that but nothing happening. Probably try a bit further up river next time i fish

Huddling together for cold . . .

I must say that I love the “we’re gonna go as long as we can” approach. Reminds me of old school killington.

The best feel good day of the season..Super fun on and off the snow...Big thanks to Enjo for all the fantastic food!

Picked up a dozen donuts, some breakfast stuffed pretzel wraps, and mini smoked sausage/cheese bites wrapped in soft pretzels. I can bring some plates and stuff if needed

Lost trail was awesome. The chair 4 stuff reminds me a bit of the stuff off Millie at Brighton. Chutes, cliffs, trees, bowls, and some nice groomers. Started off by hitting some stuff off the chair near the lodge...then over to chair 4. Did a trail and then a chute called wall of fame and also a few tree runs. It was a little sketchy and icy at the top but the rest was nice. Also hit some groomers which were firm to start but softened up by mid morning. Went out sacajawea trees, which turned out to be a bad idea as I ended up hiking back pretty far once it flattened out. Trees got pretty tight but at the top they were pretty manageable.

Day 63. It takes a special kind of crazy to ski here.

Kristen Andy was also in the house wearing a trans flag outfit and the turtle man was also in the house.

This is grate

primed and ready to go...

Nice I think I’m still full from Sundays party. Maybe try and get a baked potato since you’re in the state that’s famous for spuds. They’d prob shake their heads at the cheap Korean potatoes they sell at dollar general.

I wanted to check out whitefish but I think I'm going to hit lost trail in southern MT tomorrow

Day 62. Snow was soft from the start. And slooow by lunch. Need to do some structure work, I guess, but it looks fine.

I think they go one more weekend with limited terrain.

For @AtomicSkier you'd probably want to drop the one minute from the downhill time.

Day 60. Made my million and had my first fall in four years. l

Highlight of the day was watching a little dude straight line falls backwards not looking..

Yeah man. Extreme edging is something you gotta work up to.

Fun morning...better than expected..Rode with a friend from the Philly area for a bit.. The hole on LM is 34"+/- deep...

No pond skim scheduled, they'll open next weekend even if it's only Vista lift. 🤣 But it won't be.

Hey all, I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived in the lower lot at 830am and it was in the mid 30s under sunny skys with strong winds out of the northwest. In the house were Atomic Jeff, NMSki, Johnny Law and Mixilplix. First civilian super summit safari six to lazy mile to start which was firm but pretty smooth and just starting to soften around the sharp corner. Paradise was similar conditions a little firmer with lanes of mini cookies and boilerplate. Coming soon was also solid but the wind made it a slow motion run. Widowmaker to the chute also firm although the chute started to corn up slightly after an hour or so. Crowds were lighter than the winds but still some people out. I peaced out at 10:36 and now back to work like a dork, gonna try to sell a tombstone at Noon.. JADIP

The ding, over by what's left of the fairgrounds mall. The soft pretzels are the best anywhere, Montelaro has excellent ravioli, cheese and meats then finish it off with an Earl Grey Lavendar Cupcake and Pho.
