Lol. My one visit to Bear Creek was a good time. I couldn't make it my regular mountain, but having the whole mountain to play on for a few hours for $22 when other local options have 3 trails open has some appeal.

Wow, Bear Creek opened with almost the entire mountain. $22 for a lift from 4-9 pm tomorrow night. Not a bad option if the rain dies. Assuming they open tomorrow.

I did forget too, but waitress didn't, she asked. Good on her. 22% tip for her

Eating at Slopeside right know. Can't remember what they were last year, but food prices feel jacked up this year. Pretty sure the Groomer burger wasn't $16.50 last year. Makes that $7 bar bites weeknight version of the same burger a damn steak.

Just arrived. About to hit Vista for a couple laps then get Pops onto Lazy. Can't believe they went full price just cause they opened Lazy

Planning to be there for open. Not gonna bring the grill, we'll save it for first Saturday in the lower lot.

I did use the new skis. Was real happy with them. Felt like I was getting it pretty good down Main St (although app said I only hit 42 mph) and never felt that chatter or on the edge of control like I did with the old pair. Looking forward to getting out on them again. Possibly a few runs tonight, most likely waiting until tomorrow morning.

Wasn't sure I was gonna make it up to the mountain tonight, but had to take the car out for a spin to reset the computer before dropping it off for inspection, so figured what the heck? Might as well drive to Blue and back. Pops wasn't gonna come but right before I left texted me that he was game so I wasn't rolling solo tonight. Got to the upper lodge about 7 pm and booted up inside. Too cold for that outside nonsense. Took our damn time getting ready and hit the snow about 730. Was a little harder that I'd have preferred, but not total ice. A few guns were blasting on Vista leaving some loose on top. Pops just lapped Easy Out to Vista all night, getting the legs back. A little to icy to try that fist run down Main St. I mostly stuck with him but broke off for a couple of Main St runs. Enjoyed them but run of the night for me was Vista to Midway to Lower Main St. Just had a nice ass run. Finished the night with a run through Come Around after that Midway run just to say I hit every open trail tonight. I don't ski park but was a fun run skiing around the features. Hanging out at Last Run Lounge having a vodka cran right now, Pops joined the mug club. Overall had a good first night at Blue. 3 or 4 real runs plus 7 Vista laps. Skied on the new skis and absolutely loved them. Going to be a fun season.

Just got here. Booting up in the lodge

Ah, gotcha. Didn't realize there were two. Just saw something on Facebook about mugs going on sale yesterday morning. Figured they started one with each ski season

I'm hopeful. Anyone know if the Mug Club is sold out? I'm not a beer guy, but my dad was gonna join.

They should move it closer to be a people cam. I'd have the wife pull it up so I can wave at my boys, but they wouldn't even be able to tell it was me with that cam

I like the adjustment on the Vista cam, too

No, I drink foo foo drinks like Mikes Hard Lemonade or mixed drinks, rum and coke, vodka and pretty much anything, lol

Not gonna make it out tonight. Sick kids and worked late. Looks like my hooky day on Friday has been cancelled for Daddy Day care as well. Probably won't be back on the snow until Saturday.

Bar Bites menu looks nice for a little snack, too https://www.skibluemt.com/media/2525/slopesidebarbitesmenu2016.pdf

The Terrain Run camera is pretty boring too. Guess it will be better once there are skiers on the hill Strike that. As of tonight Terrain Run camera appears down.

Strong chance. I'll be with my dad, so as long as he is cool with hanging around for a drink, I'm down.

Be there Wednesday for night skiing, probably around 6pm. Likely playing hooky from work Friday and headed up in the morning, hoping for a terrain expansion

You forgot East and West Vista

I'm down to BBQ in the lot, I'll scare up some meat and bring a grill. I'll be hitting opening day whatever night it is, probably about 6 pm after work. Might be playing hooky Friday.

I guess they must do pretty good on kids lessons Xmas week? From the valley can you can see them blowing the frontier learning area

So you think politicians should raise taxes on a group of people that don't approve of the way the government spends their tax money, but this year you are going to actively do all you can to avoid paying taxes because you don't approve of the way the government is going to spend your tax money. Your opinions cease to have any value.

"Providing basic life essentials" and "redistributing wealth" are two very different goals.

We do. They're called "wages."
