Crazy melt up there but Tom stuff is the best stuff

I talked to a lady patroller on the gondy who had awesome stories about the traverse out there which makes me sorry it wasn't open. Pony was running and that was super good until the afternoon sun really baked it so I definitely want to get back out and hit Mahogany.

I'm skiing buttermilk tomorrow and am in town all week with my brother if you want to take some laps hit me up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After wrecking yesterday I went to the clinic where they pronounced I royally fucked my deltoid which has to be the dumbest injuries ever but I did decide to wash the sand out of my vag and rally at the tbar. The boat was reporting 3 inches new today and with blue skies and warm temps it was a super nice day. I can't really move my right arm at all so while lefty is normal I have to trex righty and hold it up against my body. This brought on much hilarity in things like trying to carry my skis or put my jacket on but it also means I'm no judge of conditions as my wings were clipped. Pow I was super off balance in the transition and just went full straights only, groomers I can only really turn right but fwiw I thought it was super good albeit heavyish snow. The crowds started to show up around noon and I bet the boat can get super crowded but the lines were neglible and I trexed my way down the hill all day with much happiness. For me getting older and having to ski anyway other than how I want is nightmare fuel but I did find even making unbalanced doodle turns at slow for me speeds I still had a great time and enjoyed myself. I'll turn the dial back up as soon as my arm works again but I gotta say I don't fear the reaper so much anymore and I gotta give the boat mad props for that alone.

I skied everything open but I don't pay attention to names so I don't know where I was mostly lol lol I thought the terrain was better than advertised though with low crowds you could really hold speed down the hill which always helps. ‐----------------------------------- I was coming in at the end of the day and did the dumbest, stupidest fucking thing possible. In 30 years of skiing I've never done anything so stupid and that is saying something. Hockey stop pull up to the ski rack and the downhill ski catches and bitch slaps me into the snow. My arm is all janky but I don't think I've ever been so mad at myself. All the fucking skiing I do and I noob beater it pulling up to the rack......absolutely disgusted with myself though up to that point it was perfect spring skiing.

Skied eldo yesterday and today at steamboat. 10 inches fell yesterday and nobody is home so super fluff all over. A touch thick by CO standards but absolutely spectacular snow by my standards and everything is skiing super fine. No pressure just ski the pow when you feel like it under perfect temps and blue skies, i hotboxed the shit out of every gondy kinda day. CO Spring Supposed to snow and be windy later afternoon otherwise we'll hit up the t bar. Eating in the thunderhead lodge or something and while super impressive it does seem a fuck you to the wind......let's put a mini skyscraper on the high point of a ridge cut down all the trees and build zero wind blocks.....

Northstar has the Ritz right ? Love that place just for pre ski breakfast alone, one time my family was having a moment but nothing a Ritz breakfast can't solve. Props on the cross country, truckers on 70 were telling war stories about getting caught in the wind a couple days back and it must have been wild.

Late season this year is dipper which will at least be new. Superstar lift was 87 I think which is old even for a blue chair.
-
I love a good Doug lyfe story, its like a zen philosophy. I'm not surprised they are closed but that sucks hairy ballsack.....I think if they want to go late late you either need cooperative weather or like superstar kinda depth
-
I have a case of old man back so without the top gear conditions are kinda irrelevant. I cannot believe that's it for me on the blue season as it just seems so fast. It doesn't seem to matter if I go nearly everyday the season is too fast. It was an honor and pleasure to ski and ride with you all..........going to be mad interesting to see what they can open for this weekend.
-
I was two mins late and missed it but they got stuck for a hot minute.
-
Yesterday was so so so so much fun, hyper big shout out to enjo as always dude you are the absolute goat. I've skied enough hills to know at the end of the day it's the people that make a place and it was an honor and a pleasure.

The ding, over by what's left of the fairgrounds mall. The soft pretzels are the best anywhere, Montelaro has excellent ravioli, cheese and meats then finish it off with an Earl Grey Lavendar Cupcake and Pho.
-
For anyone that doesn't know Fairgrounds soft pretzels are the best in the world, they turn the bag clear in like 10 seconds...........do we need champagne?
-
In furtherance of Atomics post god damn are those front side runs short with the high speed. It was a great day and I'm glad CB was open but man it felt like 30 seconds and back on the lift.
-
Atomic, the other blue dude and I were talking on the lift as even CB is no where near as trashy......I still say let the lower lot guy clean it up but my God blue looks like shit
-
It's like taking peyote
-
No beginners !!!! Bohemia can get mad snow but it's UP so you might as well go to the Monashees which is why it's relatively unskied. It's mostly sort of a hill with snow rather than trails per se and most people go to ski pow. The hot tubs at the yurts are wicked famous as is their motto and frequent sineage NO BEGINNERS !!!!!! It ethos is very similar to my own so I'm not a fair judge but they had me at no beginners.
-
Sadly no, mine is somewhere in the exit of Bear Pits at Crystal but I bet someone went and got that one lickedy split even if it's not theirs.
-
I had meetings until 10 today but couldn't ski yesterday so you gotta make it work but sorry I missed you. I saw Atomic on the way in but he didn't mention you were skiing so imagine my surprise when Jimmy, green helmet, the Marlboro man blue mtn dude and Ross all told me I was slow and behind you. It got soft with all the sun and I mostly ran razors which was just spring kinda perfect. I did think however they should have commemorated the moment in their music choice https://youtu.be/THrhxf42Y4Y?feature=shared

I thought it was you but wasnt sure on tbe jacket.....The girl in the pink boxed me out hard like Charles Barkley under the net hard, I could have went left but my delta to her was very high but on video it looks like I'm a responsible skier lol lol While it was possible out of the racing stripe it was much better in it but it was maybe 15ft wide, classic spring blue which I love.

Apparently the gondola at Kicking Horse broke off the arm and fell to the ground yesterday ! Not even skyeship has that problem. It seems that car was empty but evac was made more difficult as there is a 20 acre bear enclosure under the lift. I've checked this story like 8 times but no lie all I can find says there is actually a bear habitat under the lift. I'm a simple man so does anyone know why ?
-
Rode today, super warm like a t-shirt and shell was too much kinda warm. C1er was around I think but that was is for Pasrs. First thing the quad side was super firm rattle your feet until they were numb. Not even pdis escaped the refreeze. Around 930 I ran into someone I know on the quad who said the main st side had softened as was quite good so I skedaddled over there. Main was a swing and miss but Raceway/mid/lower all gets early sun and had baked up to a nice perfect apple pie. Full speed with big airs it was hyper nice but I could only go to 1045 or so and I bet razors got perfect right around then.

If you do Tamarack be sure to read their story, the mtn hasn't had a coherent concept since they started and its all of the industry shit in one mtn. Some peeps even claim it killed Jumbo but I think jumbo has always been a fantasy and if you can point the finger its at Patagonia.
-
I think it's the dark winters with nothing else to do but how does one goofy state with like 10 people have soooo much good beer and food. How'd coverage look ? I want to head up next weekend/after blue....

Croissants, Pain au Choclate and ham sandwiches are 90% of my diet in France, Euro bread in general is le titz..... There are trips where you look around and in the beauty and enormity of it all and wonder how the hell did a kid from PA end up here ? Pat yourself of the back while your ripping some insane face over a mtn village that has better wine and cheese than all of Philly at 6k feet up a mtn.
