Yeah, me too. On the main mountain, there are those nice steep head wall trails - Margies, Asp etc...but then they just bleed into the same run out - ditto on the blue runs - all kind of interconnect.... But actually, this weekend, given that they only have a few trails open, it will probably be nicer - they have Marc Antony, and some other green or blue, along with Margie's from the top of the main mountain. So those trails won't get in each other's way too much. Then they have that park area open - turkey trot or something like that - served by a separate lift. My point being, with three nearly district ways down, it might not feel like a total log jam. and for my purposes, a little more intermediate terrain than at Blue. Be fun if Blue announces a surprise trail opening though! Mid winter, I do like that far area - with the double black and nile mile, served by it's own HSQ.... That section has less run out and no intersecting trails, and three ways down, all three different and separate.

I guess I'll see how you guys make out Friday. After the day last sunday, it's hard to NOT go right back to Blue, that's for sure.... Compared to what CB thinks they will open, Blue would be more fun I think. Only thing bending my mind about that a little is, we're bringing some friends, and I'm not sure of their ability, so if they turn out to be more green/blue skiers, CB might be a little more fun for them. Boy, I think to much about this stuff....

Yeah, I think that is where it was - a local paper story. Re: the weather....looks like it warms up next week, but JF and CB weather shows overnight lows right around 30....hopefully it dips a little bit and they can get on it.... JF Facebook page is showing a picture of one trail with a ton of snow....I guess we'll see what they are thinking.... Family ski day Saturday. If JF opens with 4 trails or so, that would probably be our choice. Otherwise, CB or Blue....tough call there. Blue's open terrain will be better IMO, but CB will have a HSQ running, so might handle the crowds better.

I thought I read somewhere that JF was shooting for Black Friday?

Curious to see what CB opens with. So psyched for these bonus days....

Looks like cold and snow start up Wednesday night. Should be good again by the weekend I'm thinking. More crowded I'm sure. Maybe just the same terrain?

Crazy weather.... then is't gonna be like 15 Wednesday night I think.... I hope feel justified in opening early, because that was a ton of fun - hope it was worth the effort and melted snow for them....should pay off in getting the valley side opened sooner I suppose. Looks like they had snow all the way down that lower terrain park, and tuts lane was ready....wonder if they have been blowing on paradise yet.

Web cams are down. Anyone know how they did in the rain?

Did I notice 'Blue Mountain Ale' on tap at the outside bar? Any good?

Great day. Snow was much better than I expected. Bumps were nice - really nice by late morning. Even got a couple - literally 2 - turns in the trees off Lazy.... Great day. Here's to hoping the rain doesn't hurt a great base to badly...

Trees? Stop.... really? awesome. will be there for a quick morning session tomorrow. Can't wait.

Did they seed bumps?

Bummer.... Hopefully they will reconsider that and opening it tomorrow....

So, the main street/burma double is what, 800 vert?

Hope is lazy opens tomorrow. But, still be missing switchback, right?

It's actually pretty incredible how much snow they can make in a relatively short period of time....

Hope you are right! I'm coming up sunday AM either way, but one more trail would really make it awesome! Yeeehaw! So stoked.

You guys think we'll get Lazy this weekend?

Ha. Sorry. I just looked at the extended forecast, and it appears that next week, there will be snow. Black friday into Saturday. They are presently predicting 8 to 10 inches if I am reading the forecast correctly. I am wondering if that might change Jack Frost's idea about opening....

I just looked at the 10 day....8-10 inches BF > Saturday???? wow, hope that's true....and maybe that will open JF....

JF black friday? Any word?

Yeah, if they get lazy mile open, will feel like a pretty legit ski morning... And so they list barney's bumps as being open....I guess that means they will seed? (BTW, that is the absolute best example of boosting the trail count....Barney's Bumps is literally "the left hand side of Main Street", but it gets counted as a separate trail! Even funnier than Lower Main Street, which of course is really just "the second half of a trail called Main Street".)

Wow - that's awesome. Trying to figure out work and kid schedule now.... How jammed is opening weekend typically? This is awesome. Really hope I can figure this out and get there.

I haven't skied BB for about 30 years.....but if my daughter wants to ski, maybe that's where we'll go. Otherwise maybe I'll go solo up to Belleayre. What is hunter going to have open?

Man, I really want to go skiing this weekend...
