How many widows did the Widowmaker make?

...asking for a friend

I was there from late morning til 5:15- gorgeous bluebird day- kept lapping the HS6, got tons of vertical- conditions were excellent, everyone I talked to on the lifts were saying what a great day it was- lots of tracks in the woods, never seen so many- did you notice that the future trail next to Paradise was carved up by poachers?...….

Skier can't sue Liberty after boarder buzzed him into woods resulting in horrible injuries...…"inherently dangerous" https://www.pennlive.com/news/2019/02/skier-severely-hurt-in-crash-at-ski-liberty-cant-sue-because-the-sport-is-inherently-risky-us-court.html

Hope your wife's ok, that looks like a hard surface. Not to mention the unconscious dude, jeez- good of you to get help- just wondering, did he have a helmet? I'm hoping to hit Platty some time in March

I got some Patagonia pants last year after an instructor tipped me off about their Worn Wear site- yeah I was skeptical about the 'worn' part...but when they arrived turns out they were brand spankin new....got em for half price, great deal https://wornwear.patagonia.com/

137 Yeah my buddy says nighttime is the worst.

Crappy natural conditions I meant, sorry. Places that have better snowmaking/grooming systems built to withstand this weather provide more reliable conditions imho, e.g. MC & Pa. Hopefully the next 7 weeks will deliver some natural.

Too bad that one trail (Pipeline) was the best thing there- one reason I hardly ever go anymore. They've had it in their sights for a while imho. First they got rid of the lower section to make way for condos, now the upper section due to a pipeline? I don't doubt that's what they told you but it just doesn't pass the smell test for me. I will say they do have a decent snowmaking system- if this season continues to be this crappy I might be forced make a visit...but weekday only.

Blue, hands down- and the trip is longer for me to Blue than MC in Jersey. Sad to say MC does nothing for me, neither does CB. Blue keeps me interested, they've made some really good improvements over the years, and the people working there couldn't be nicer. (Elk is terrific too but it's the same drive time as to the 'Cats so I usually opt for them.)

Bruised ribs are no fun, can be worse than broken ones. Friend of mine got bumped into by a boarder around Christmastime, not real hard but just enough to knock him over- he thought it was nothing, kid apologized.....later that night he could barely get out of his car. Got checked next day- 1 broken rib & 3 bruised. Hasn't skied since. You had a much worse fall including shoulder & thumb. I got skier's thumb up at Huntah must be 25 years ago- high speed fall due to unmarked obstacle- still feel it on bad days. I don't mean to be a debby downer, just want to say make sure youre ok before you come back & hope youre tougher than me & my buddy.

thx GSS, longtime lurker here, always enjoy reading your blue/true updates
