Thanks should be a good season. for the rest of December, the reservations may be last minute since they’re all full right now. may do some touring adventures with friends or just uphill at resorts to get a workout in. January will be Utah. For February, I’m looking at Big Sky but we’ll see.

I skied Copper yesterday. No lines and plenty of space. But, it was like 9 degrees and windy. Did about 8k of vert in under 2 hours. It was my first day out so I took it slow. I didn’t take any photos on the mountain but this pic on 70 can give you an idea. Today, I skiied Winter Park. It was a blue bird day. Got about 12k in about 3 hours. To start, I parked in the free lot G (that’s me in the black SUV). Then, I strolled over to the Cabriolet lift (beer can lift) to hit the village. It was great to not have to take a shuttle bus. A couple of the lifts like Sunnyside, Challenger, Super Gauge Express, and the Gondola had 10 minute waits, everything else I pretty much skied right up to. If there was a line, I just opted for the slower 2 seater lift versus the express. It was easy to avoid the lines. Above is line of Super Guage Express, but just to the right is Pony Express and it had zero wait. It doesn’t take you as far up but got my skis back on the snow faster. The runs were mostly empty and easy to avoid, which felt like a sharp contrast to the Schuylkill River Trail in Philly. Ducked into some of the trees. Not much powder but it was good to practice the variability. the sun started to set and the shade rolled in around 3pm. Made it chillier but still fun to cruise down the runs as it begun to empty out. tomorrow is an ABasin morning ski..

I taught yoga for a few years, up until 2018, at CorePower Yoga.. I'm not sure if I would be able to keep a straight face for Mt Bleu parking lot yoga. There were a couple memorable days.. like the shirtless Zack Ertz day and the days a "small" group of 87'ers showed up to yoga together. But, I don't know. Watching PASR parking lot yoga may rival it for "memorable".

same @GrilledSteezeSandwich You can't please everyone. Should have bought a pass rather than complaining on facebook pages.

It was good to see everyone. It was not good to wash the mop, Wally. He was filthy dirty from hanging in the parking lot crew.

They're a lean resort. Give them a break. We're so use to having information at our finger tips. Roll with the punches.

Was by the Philly art museum last night The snowflakes were huge

You're no fun.

haha. true. Although name tags or personalized parking spots w/your screennames would be great. They paved the lot..right? I'll bring the chalk.

PS: @Schifhasn't allowed me to trimmy trim his mop.... PPS: Mike called you all dogs?

skiing on christmas is the best! Without any kids, I've had a riutal of skiing with my brother and his fiancé. We've done Wolf Creek, Alta, Loveland, and others. Crowds are low, especially in the morning. This year, hoping to ski Arapahoe Basin on Christmas Day before my blackout days kick in.

I don't have a beagle... but I have a puppy who is fluffy and super cute. He'll be at the parking lot on Saturday and makes a great photo op if anyone needs a new tinder profile pic.

Thanks for sharing! It's good. Glad to see some east coast love. Katie Burrell might be one of my favorites lately. I love Dream Job but I'm sucker for romcoms. Still Solo is pretty funny.

I wonder if people at Vail corporate even know about JFBB 😂

I just threw up in my mouth.

How difficult is it to get a fake id & Botox that says I’m under 22?

This might be the first time that someone recommended Beaver Creek and JF/BB in the same breath ...

This is awesome. Jones is great. @Barb- I’ll be in Colorado for about two+ weeks in December at least. If you ever want a partner to skin & get your legs moving, low angle stuff, let me know

They’re $200. Here’s a pic. im hoping to pick one up on Sunday morning. If you’re somewhere between Philly and Big Boulder, let me know if you want me to pick one up for you. otherwise, message the guy who posted about it to coordinate. for dimensions: Standing up, it’s 100” tall. 44” wide, and is about 32”front to back. You can feet 2 comfortably leaning on the tailgate of a full size pick up with at least a 6 ft bed.

It was a side hustle that I ran while working full-time. It was pretty fun when it was on E! and worked with some cool clients Sold it in January 2015 to a company in dallas I do some upholstery gigs on the side but nothing formal for now

hmm.. interesting. I love chairs with character. I have seats from the vet on my back deck. And, use to own a company that was focused on cool chairs. I'll shoot you a DM @Scotvhlvr20

No new hobbies here either. I plan to be in Colorado from December 21 - 31. And, Utah from January 1 - 31. If anyone has plans to be out west, let me know. Maybe there will be snow on the east coast come February.

I made my 5 reservation for Alta/Snowboard and did an A-Basin reservation. Super easy to do. I'm pumped to be a vegabond in Colorado/Utah for December-January'ish.

On the - What Did You Buy So Far - list, you can add a pup. His name is Wally and he's a bernese mountain dog / poodle mix who will likely be in the parking lot this winter. Does Blue Mountain need a mascot like Parker, the mascot of Loveland. https://www.instagram.com/officialsnowdog/

I’m running out of quarantine projects but I’ve been itching to do something with these guys. for my now, my living room just has a bunch of skis in it 😍
