  1. But on the plus side it made you look like a Teletubbie
  2. Should really focus the guns on the still closed trails during skiing hours, especially prime weekend times, unless they have capacity to make snow on every trail at oi nf
  3. Switchback and Dreamweaver are def the two runs with the most character and SB ungroomed is as good as Blue gets
  4. Yeah Blue probably has more acreage open now than Bear Creek has total
  5. Today is the end of week 7, week 8 starts tomorrow
  6. I was in no way suggesting Coming Soon would open soon, or even this season. My point was expressing greater frustration at only 5 TTB runs open (billed as 22 trails) 8 weeks into the skison.
  7. At this point I'd be about as psyched for a "23rd" (aka legitimate 6th) trail to open for the season as I would be for Coming Soon to debut.
  8. Yeah it was pretty deep. I dont mind those conditions at all. Made it nice and easy for kids to try Falls. I just didn't love the rain.
  9. Got another couple runs in between rain stoppina and my closing. Real annoying they closed 30 min after it cleared.
  10. Probably wasnt the best afternoon to go skiing. The forecaster clearing lasted long enough to do one run then started raining while on lift. Did run 2, now taking break. Deep slush on trails. Some brown spots on Lazy. Kids made it down Falls with no falls - their first double black at Blue
  11. Gonna try it 130 to 4 today
  12. So you are saying you think it will be decent this afternoon after the rain? Your posts seem pretty negative on conditions above. I was last there Dec 15 before my CO trip and it was pretty decent conditions then.
  13. So I am gathering based on above reports that what is left this afternoon after all this rain will probably not be worth skiing until they get some new snow on top of it. Would folks agree?
  14. Not blaming Blue. Of course the drive is the dangerous part. Sorry if I missed where it was discussed before. IMO, If there is a bar and it is not used or the rider was not wearing a helmet, the rider was not all that concerned with staying alive.
  15. https://www.nj.com/hunterdon/2019/01/teen-died-after-fall-from-ski-lift-in-poconos-coroner-says.html?utm_content=nj_facebook_njcom&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=njcom_sf&fbclid=IwAR0UkaqXCh8JT0iSBn-a79FrjAEK0cI4xmMYVPC8WpM_OATY_x5Ir1N_Tzs
  16. Seeing as how I have to be in Scotch Plains, NJ from at least 11 to 3 on Sunday to perform a tribute to the Million Dollar Quartet, Sat is the day for me.
  17. Yeah hard to muster up much enthusiasm for heading to Blue after CO with the amount they have open and what I read about conditions. Would like to take kids there on Saturday, but forecast not looking real favorable for that.
  18. Usually get one cheeseburger meal and one nugget meal and share both
  19. I suppose I should only ever let them eat hamburgers at McDonalds too
  20. Another awesome day did the back bowls myself for 90 min in the AM. Then grabbed the girls and they skied like champs all day including 5 glade runs and about 1000' vertical of solid moguls. The only thing that will challenge them at Blue at this point are PA ski conditions. Wonderful vaca. Eating pizza before a third hot tip session and mountain shuttle back to DIA, then hope I can catch some Zs on Ze plane.
  21. They will certainly be game for the double blacks at Blue after this They really pull their weight and make it easy, and are real brave and dont hold me back much. It is a joy to share the activities I love with them. Just hope they remember and are willing to wait for me a couple years from now when they blow me away as skiers.
  22. Girls went up to the 12,313' peak, did a black diamond in a back bowl and lots of tree runs this AM. Eating lunch now before heading back out to do the ambassador-led mountain tour at 1pm. They are awesome skiers
  23. Mountain Plaza hotel location is ideal and outdoor hot tub is real nice but room itself has seen better days. Small bath with lame tub and hole in door where hook once was. Off to check out Xmas festivities with Santa leading a torchlight parade down mountain and kids parading with glowsticks (though my girls deemed themselves too mature to participate in that). Been flying into DIA enough that I have a fav restaurant there I hit every time - Mesa Grill
