  1. Look at all the Whales on this ski slope! They might have it open by November 31
  2. Woo hoo! It works. It actually works. Only one trip needed to guest services. So Everytime you get a new pass from Blue, you need go to guest services at Camelback for them to enter you in their system too. And I got to sign a liability waiver for a third time this season! Thank God Camelback guest services doesn't have a way to test the pass except for walking 5 minutes between guest services and the scanner. I love the extra walking in ski boots and up and down steps. Blue sucks because they can test your pass right there, so you don't get as much walking in ski boots. Time to ski Cliffhanger. @GrilledSteezeSandwichThis is getting good!
  3. I'll find out in 6 minutes. I'm parked at the lot that takes the least amount of effort to walk to a lift
  4. Heading to Camelback the true Mountain in 4 minutes for one half hour of First Traax(tm). Marjorie's Delight might be groomed today. Everyone else going this morning post a comment on this thread:
  5. Does Matt Edge ski Camelback? That would be rad to split a hot cocoa with him after high fiving a camel. Maybe we can even share bunk beds at Verbier
  6. At least in the past you could jump on Old Bailey slow lift when the line got unbearable. Way better than sitting butt to nut on the main lifts. But Old Bailey has not opened this season, yet I still paid $250 extra to add Camelback to my pass. I think everyone who bought a pass for Camelback should at least get a complimentary coupon for a free hot toddy for their abysmal management of the ski resorts this season.
  7. Sometimes slopes can feel like Western groomers first thing in the morning, like last weekend at Blue the True. See below. This is why I do First Trrax. I don't do lines
  8. Correct, as far as I know. There are 2 benefits to First Tr.ax: 1. Skiing corduroy is the best 2. Skiing that extra hour before the long lines and crowded slopes is well worth it
  9. Rumor has it the winch cat broke this morning, so they couldn't groom Cliffhanger and I guess they don't have the ability to edit their website to take it off the open trails list. What a joke!
  10. @eaf You missed all the drama two weeks ago. I got to Camelback at 7:15 and my "Peak to Peak" pass wouldn't work. I stormed back and forth between the scanners and customer service three times before I got fed up and left. Went to Jack Frost. Apparently Blue had an issue and Camelback couldn't fix it. All they could do was offer me a day pass without first tracks or VIP line access. What a joke!
  11. LMAO. Camelback's Facebook page says Cliffhanger is open, but people are saying it's FAKE NEWS and it's not actually open. What a joke! I'll try to go tomorrow. Wanted to go today to ski Cliffhanger which should really be a triple diamond but not feeling so well.
  12. Welcome back @eaf Now if only @guitar73 would return Camelback has been a complete joke this season. Yes, now they have the majority of their trails open, but it took long enough. There are numerous issues at Camelwhack this season, so what you heard on the lift is 100% real news. The Stevenson Lift just opened for the first time two weeks ago. That's right, January 17. Meanwhile True Blue has been nearly 100% open since probably Mid December. Here are the various reasons I heard for this debauchery: Lack of water for snowmaking due to drought, and some government agency limiting their water access (they use a lot for the water park) Mass resignation of snowmakers; I heard there were only 3 snowmakers for the whole mountain a while ago, and they had to borrow some from Blue The Stevenson Lift failed inspection 4 times, rumour has it. When it apparently passed on 1/17, they finally opened it. It continues to malfunction sporadically a lot per rumors on the Face Books Needly to say, I will NOT be renewing my Peak to Peak pass next season, 2025/2026. I will stick to True Blue. That's my Boy Blue, I'm stuck on Blue, let's all go to Blue woooooohoooooo
  13. @GrilledSteezeSandwich Blue Mountain, the True Mountain, is getting some rain today. I bet you'll be really excited today while skiing at Jackson Hole that all this rain at Blue will be really good for the snowmaking retention ponds.
  14. This is grate. I hope Atomic Skier remembered to pack his GoPro and takes lots of videos skiing the perder, and you can hear him say "alrighty" and "milk it". Hope he hired a good photographer for an updated credit card photo
  15. This is getting good. I hope JFDan remembered to bring some charcuterie from Malvern to share with the locals
  16. @GrilledSteezeSandwich I heard a rumor on teh face books that Stevenson Lift stopped for a while. I hope it works this weekend when I ski down Cliffhanger. If you get bored at Jackson Hole and want to ski Camelback instead I'll offer you a buddy pass in exchange for one Yocco's hot dog
  17. @EdBacon are you skiing Camelback this weekend?? I wonder if they got Cliffhanger open. I think that slope should be upgraded to a triple black diamond. I can't wait to ride Stevenson when my pass works this weekend and then I'll write a report for @Enjoralescousin to tell his cousin if my pass has issues so I can continue to bitch about it on teh face books. Thatll be so rad
  18. Nice pics, I think I see a few pairs of RTMs. I heard they are the hottest ski at Jackson Hole this year.
  19. @GrilledSteezeSandwich can you post some live updates? I don't see you on the Jackson Hole webcams. Are you going to sit butt to nut on the tram??
  20. That salad looks amazing. I love the tiny fishes on it, they must have truly enhanced the flavor. I wonder what did Atomic Jeff get on his salad???
  21. Dang. I hope you brought your own Bibles and also that Atomic Jeff brought one to read in your hotel rooms. What time does breakfast start? One time in Vermont I had to wait until 730 for breakfast and first chair was at 800. I had to eat really fast or miss the perder
  22. This is grate. Good choice on the decor. You must have personally selected the photo of the bison. Plus you get a bonus word search on the wall. That's rad. I wonder what room decorations Atomic Jeff has??
  23. This is great! Be sure to ask Atomic Jeff to get you free United Airlines WiFi so you can post a picture of your in-flight Steezeburger on this webzone
  24. Also be sure you and Atomic Jeff send postcards or telegrams
