Im a little curious as to what my driveway will look like Friday, as i shoveled a path to the car, and just drove off. Im going with it wont all wash away, and it will be a big frozen mass when i get back to it. Plus, there is now what was in the road in front of my driveway.

Running a business is running a business. Make customers happy. they come back. its really pretty fucking simple dude.

Keep those fingers crossed. this would be like 4-5 days straight of spraying snow if it holds. Accuweather kind of agrees. maybe just a touch warmer, but still, these would be the best temps we have seen.

Pretty sure KSL and Alterra are in bed together. or Partners. or, really good friends or something. Check it out. one thing i will say in the positive is, they were spraying snow this morning. Thats a pretty ballsy move considering 2" of rain or whatever. Or, maybe they didnt look at the forecast for today. take your pick.

Chute? that had the least amount of snow on it of anything for some reason. lol. I dont know if its just me, but im pretty leary about going off trail at Blue until it snows, rains just a little, then freezes. Theres a lot of junk strewn around everywhere at Blue.

I would be interested to know how many Ikon passholders where there yesterday. maybe they need to limit ikon? They definitely had to many people there yesterday.

i've had the condition report open since 6 am, and they definitely did show Raisins being open. They are probably changing things on the fly as it suits them. lol. Oh, and its pretty busy there right now, 12 noon. OG 6 is running. And yeah, like @indiggio mentioned, tons of people complaining about no SP line for any lift. Hopefully they will use this experience as a learning tool. they have gotten enough shit about it, and i do think its warranted. Lifts should start loading at opening. All of them should be operational, and pretty much ready to go any day, any hour, and its pretty apparent, that hasnt been the case. We have all been there for a day in the past, whether its a powder day, or just a day where there is like no chance they can fuck up the grooming.....and they have lift issues. its like showing up to Dunkin donuts, and they say they dont have any heart shaped donuts on valentines day. You had 1 job to do. If i was management, i would be utterly embarrassed over what happened yesterday. Its all on management.

Both 6's are currently running. looks like they are setting up ropes to run the old 6 today. I guess they are working on redemption.

i saw that too......lol

Condition report shows Raisins still being open today.

I saw posts about it, but didnt know if it was poaching or even legit. I would think that would be a little sketchy. That seems like a move in desperation to try to salvage some other short comings from today.

Which from what i read was also a shit show. Preliminary reports are that montage and greek are not getting angry FB posts. Day aint over yet though. saw some ugly pics from JF and huntah.

Some highlight pics from blues fb page. Before they finally opened the OG 6. and then theres Jacqui, with this epic comment. Blue should hire her. She seems smart.

“Powder day”. lol.

This is the best thing to come out of today! Nothing better than a Jlaw photobomb. This needs to be framed up somewhere. blue is getting hammered on their FB post. 100 negative, pissed off customers, and that 1 fucking “you're my boy blue” guy. Its pretty good entertainment. how they thought things were going to go well with 1 lift running is an epic fail. Hopefully they will be prepared next time, cause it was fucking amateur hour at best. every resort is/was crowded today. Thats unavoidable. But blue needs to get their fucking lifts to run, and honestly, this should all fall on management, not the people that actually showed up and i am sure took it in the ass while management hid inside.

i have no idea what i was thinking today would be good.

its snowing at Blue. If you want a good laugh, look at the Valley cam. Holy fuck its crowded.

thought about skiing this afternoon. Thanks for making me look like a genius.

you sure he wasnt getting confused with switchback? i know i always do. i wish it took like 12 hrs to open either one of them.

They did actually start on that the last go around. i figured Widowmaker would be getting the treatment now, as it would take way less to get that open before Raisins.

Yeah baby.......its gonna snow Saturday night. And then monsoon again come Wednesday. Fuck. Fuckity Fuck Fuck.

They sprayed snow on Raisins for like 24 hrs in marginal temps, right before the last deluge of rain. They were able to make a shockingly small amount of snow.

Also, remember how empty the place was? That shit dont happen any more.

Early-ish feb 2014 i believe. I wanna say the 14th but i dont think it was valentines day. 2nd time i skied at Blue. Its in a TR.
