Conditions were nice today. Waaaay better than yesterday. Main Street was particularly nice.

Camelback has to be paying a fortune to get in magazines, and get voted as “best place to learn to ski”. I have never read mens journal, other than this article, so one must assume shopping and waterparks are higher on thier list of things to do than skiing. The half of the friends that do ski will find themselves dissapointed.

Surprised Elk isnt on the Ikon pass. Alot of other resorts in Vermont are.

Tacos? Wawa dont have no Tacos. Just sayin'. Conditions were ok, i have definitely skied worse after a day of rain. Pretty much every trail had some type of variable conditions, nothing was real consistent.

I read this somewhere else. Dude showed up at 10:15 on a powder day, on a Saturday. I would say this is the equivalent of showing up at Blue on Pres weekend after a snowstorm.

Not really.

Fri, Sat, Sun. Tomorrow could be interesting. Last year same thing....rain thursday and closed, and it was very apparent they groomed before the rain, and let it ride. it sucked. hopefully they groom tonight.

Vermont's cool, its better than here, but its raining there right now too. Powder dumps for a couple days, and then back to MASH.

Good for you. Dont forget to have your home equipped with a PASR guest bedroom(s).

Planning on moving somewhere fancy?

Accurate.

Great. Thanks.

The whole weather thing in our area is just becoming tiring. Cold temps, no snow. Warm temps, heavy rain. At some fucking point, this rain every three days needs to stop.

Blue is closed today. Shouldnt come as a big surprise to anyone im sure.

Knowing you, that will take great restraint on your part. I hope you like Creed.

Montage used to have like a $29 morning ticket on the weekends even. That was a good deal. I cant really justify giving Montage like $58 knowing i will only ski 3-4 hrs.

My spidey sense is saying no. This seems to be a common theme with most ski joints in our area these days.

I think i remember seeing Salomon, and maybe Marker. They are a Rossi ski dealer, so i dont see why they wouldnt have some type of look/Rossi binding. As far as i know, they still do the equipment trade in (skis with current bindings) for $50. So if you have some pair lying around you wont ever ski again, send them along. I sort of thought their prices on Bindings were a little high. But....remember, you will get 10% off, and the bindings should mount for free, so it might end up being a wash. It seems as though Blue has had quick turn around time on PASR peoples stuff lately, so thats always a bonus vs. Buckmans smiling at you and saying, "pick these up in 2 weeks"?

I was giving them a pass yesterday on that with the wind. Kinda surprised this morning to see no snowmaking. well, just a little surprised.

I was watching the Valley Cam this morning. when i looked close to 8 am, it wasnt running and i thought that was odd. then it started running. not sure if they put people on it, but i looked sometime later and it was stopped and people were using the quad.

I had to put something in the mailbox. You should be receiving literature on Sun rooms, adult diapers, and taking part in a new study about menstrual cramps, in 2-4 weeks.

I'm getting jaded the older i get. I would not enjoy this. I'm procrastinating making the short walk to the mailbox, and probably wont go out to get lunch. Good work by you Root.

Looking at the cameras........there is like nobody there right now. Too damn cold for me...thats for sure.

Nice. Maybe let schif run them over to even things up?

Temps are dropping really quick....went outside to plow the driveway at 34 degrees, came back in an hour later it was 29.
