I got rid of the double post. Looking forward to the reports! Have a great trip.

@JFskiDan should have to give his GS cookies back for no shout out Skied with the family for 4 runs until they went in for hot chocolate. Had solo laps until the lines and cold made me say parking lot time. Lazy was surprisingly bad for how cold it is. Sidewinder was my ROTM.

Heated socks and hand warmers made for a pleasant evening. Skied 6-8 with a minimal crowd. Couple slick spots but smooth and good snow. NMDW was still closed and Rzr’s opened around 7

Pulled mine out today and 78 pulls later, it’s alive

I learned full Ikon was not blocked, only base. Great day skiing with the kids. The crowd was better than expected after last weekend. Right side line of MS lift was wide open and we lapped that after 10 since our friends don’t get VIP. Everyone just kept left for no reason.

Modelo Especial passed Bud Light nationally after their bad PR stunt. Miller Lite is the most popular in eastern PA

I got tickets from work for the game but gave them back. I don't feel like dealing with a snowy turnpike and it's warmer on my couch.

Saturday and Sunday

Skied until 1145 and caught @Boo Bearfor a couple laps to finish. She ate her lunch on the lift to get some top to bottom laps since she was working with a group on the learning hill. What a champ. ROTD was a tie between Paradise and Main St WROTD was Lazy. Full marble field The fresh flakes were a nice touch and unexpected.

FYI School groups coming up during the day the next 3 days. I'll be up on Thursday morning to check on @Boo Bearand her chaperone skills with the middle school kids. Kudos to Blue to give the kids a free rental, lesson, and day pass. Some of them would probably never have the opportunity to try skiing or snowboarding otherwise. That being said, I hope they stay on the learning hill.

Snow was great but the crowds were in full force. They should have been matching people earlier to keep the lines down but liftie Bob said he didn't the employees to do it. Enjo continues to outdo himself which the foot. The tacos were great and little Boo enjoyed all the olives.

Yes.

Too late, they’re already defecting

After seeing last week's crowd, I believe it.

@Benm 1 year ago 🥲

It was! Our friends have a family yearly pass(I probably wouldn’t go that much) but they have 17 birds currently on exhibit. Had a demonstration with a little eagle flying around the room that the kids loved. They’ll do the demonstration outside when the weather is nice too. Peregrine Falcon and California Condor seemed like they’re biggest focus for getting overall numbers in the wild up. You can check out live webcams on YouTube of the birds close to being release and future expansion construction already started. Def worth a visit if in Boise.

I copied a previous roll call from GSS and didn’t realize my dark mode would get copied with the font. Looks fine to me lol

Hey All, It’s almost another weekend, and Blue mountain the true mountain is open for skiing and riding. Anybody skiing Saturday-Sunday? I’ll be there both days with a longer session Sunday as the kid starts WAC. Looks like a good snowmaking weather window to help resurface the conditions. JADIP

It continued to snow at Bogus through the weekend and @Boo Bearand I were able to get back to the mountain Monday. The drive up was way better without bad weather slowing it down. They claimed 2 inch fresh last 24 hrs, 29” for the last week. Little overcast to start with sunshine peaking out throughout the day. Hit every lift and dipped in to the trees for fresh chest shots when I could split off. Didn’t find the terrain that difficult unless bush whacking through some trees. Awesome day and views were great. Other Boise things we hit with our friends and kids while out there: Payette Brewing, Science Center, Zoo, World Center for Birds of Prey, Brown Beard Brewing, Boise State University and 13th St Pub & Grill. Red eye back was delayed and didn’t take off until almost 1 am but still made it to PHL at 930 as expected.

With the family out in Boise visiting friends and we all went to Bogus Basin today. Half an inch of rain in town yesterday so expecting a good yield in the mountain. 16 mile access road up to BB, with half below the snow line. Slow going when you hit the snow but they did a good job clearing it. Listed 7” in the last 24 hours, 17” in the last 48 and it didn’t disappoint. It wasn’t JH blower snow but everything was open and could ski anywhere. Vis at the summit was maybe 15 feet in spots but got better as you went down the hill. Couldn’t really tell where I was with the vis so it was good to be with a local. Kids quit early as they weren’t having fun in the fog and that let the dad’s off the hook and we went for the steeper stuff. Finished with Little Nugget and Liberty. Parked in lot #4. Had its own ski in/out trail and could ski right to the car. I wouldn’t want to park anywhere else.

50+ mph hard carving apparently

Could have had one with Edge

Saturday and Sunday. Most likely a night session Monday since I won't be back to Blue until next year.

Projections on their FB say Falls is open tomorrow, but has a “race.” I’m guessing it’s practice

Saturday and Sunday, maybe Friday night.
