Looks like today will be a great day. Cams look sweeet.

Thats what i said last week, about this week. Look how well that panned out.

We just cant get a break here. i would say with the snow we got yesterday, and then the rain, we ended up on the losing end of the stick. and then just to add insult to injury, now it looks like those nice snowmaking temps this week are not so much. Again. Rinse and repeat.

fridays are good for me, mondays ok, t,w,th are awkward unless there is some PA powder to be had. Lets make this happen soon. Let me know.

It just started snowing at the Knob. Its gonna be a while for it to get here. it will probably snow at blue for a while, but i also think since its coming in later, wont be as much. this was never going to be an epic storm. Maybe just maybe at least the ground will stay covered to make Blue look pretty.

While obviously not the storm of the century, trying to figure out if playing hookey from work tomorrow is the play. Wish the snow was coming in a little sooner, but we will see.

i have been kicking around a long weekend like this. drive to Magic Fri AM, ski, drive to Jay, 2 days a Jay, or 1 Jay, 1 Cannon. Something like that. Either way its 3-4 mountains i have never skied. I really hope VT starts to get going. Jay is getting there....66/81 trails.

looks like its snowing pretty good at Blue. Cant imagine its real dry snow, but maybe it will help bind some shit together. Looks like it will snow for a while today.

Wednesday morning might be interesting. But then again, it just might suck.

inches of snow

NMDW is my fav trail. it wasnt great today, but i figure even a bad NMDW is better than no NMDW, which i know when they put those big stupid bumps on it, we can still ski it, but the flow is gone once they do that. Shicola Chute-midway was probably the best run. We determined you cannot see Cuzi's cabin from the new lift. @AtomicSkier @GrilledSteezeSandwich @mute1080......if this verifies......yeehaw!

Will there be a ribbon cutting ceremoney? some nice opening remarks by @Johnny Law? Maybe a raffle to get first dibs on it? Honestly this makes me tingle downstairs more than the new lift opening.

i dont know what to think either. one part of me says its been so quite lately that its jigglin for a reason, the other part says its just looking for some attention.

Winter might show up next week. Or it might not. the buoy is bouncing around for like next fri-sat. Not sure how reliable it is now that they flushed the dirty diapers out of it though.

So, basically they still dont have snow on the turn? WTF.

Freeballing is open today. no NMDW yet.

The frozen button thing would sound strange for any other resort……..blue mt? Makes perfect sense.

the original build date on the house is like 1907. It is unlikely it looked like that when it was built. it has probably morphed into more of a house than a cabin over the years of renovations, additions, etc. Also, it appears as though there was someone living there from i think 2014 up towards the time of the sale. be neat to see it not torn down, and maybe made into a scrapple shack for the new tuning area. Being from 1907 (at least parts) i sure would like to take a peak inside.

it should look something like this, there might me more, but this is i guess what would be the most usable real estate, if that makes sense. Edit - there is one tiny parcel on BM Drive owned by PPL, across the street from Burma.

i have been having quite a productive PASR morning at work. Curzi's is/was a pretty neat place actually. I dont find it neat enough that they have to go renaming a trail after it though. https://gis.carboncounty.com/prcs/8-32-A10.pdf If you leave the lower parking lot, and start to head up BM drive, the first driveway you come to would be the access to the property. I would say you cant see the cabin from the road. i think it was like 10 acres, and it really did sit in the middle of a huge amount of land BMR Resorts owned. So, yeah, If Blue Mt wants to use across the street for tubing eventually, they got off pretty easy with just having to name a run after the guy in order for them to sell it to Blue. I cant find what the property actually sold for, records show it was transfered to Blue for $1. nobody is that nice that they would trade some property for a named ski run. They own an impressive amount across the street. At least 230 acres. From the entrance of the parking lot across the street, the rear property line is about 3,800' back. It appears they own the land they use for the Carbon County Fair, and this is propably the LZ (off Little Gap Rd) when they cant use the lot across the street. For those in the discussion as to how much land BMR owns on the other side of Freeballing, its roughly 2,900'. And for those wondering how much expansion that may be compared to what is currently "Blue Mountain", Blue is basically 4,419' wide, trail wise. like from the outermost point of Burma, to Para/Freeballing intersection. Also, the new lift appears to span a distance of 4,257'. The OG6 is 4,141. Quad is 4,414.

No.

As @Benm is trying to point out, this mornings music was baller. Echo what everybody else said. Way better than yesterday, sss6s is cool, main street was popular, and the comments from those that skied razors were funny. last run down main at 9:30 or whatever was still decent imo. Lower was soooo much better than yesterday. They must have put some stickum in the snow the blew on it last night. Its my guess they will keep making snow on nmdw and freeballing till tomorrow morning, since, again, that will be it for snowmaking for a few days. So maybe open wed, and then decent by the weekend.

"we actually have more terrain open this year for the holiday weekend than last year" Did i misunderstand what Ashley said?
