I got fucked by work but could get an hour in, like Ridge said best snow of the year so far. First run down upper main was a carpet of perfection and everything except for a few glacial spots skied well. A little weirdly busy but the best is seeing big ass whales everywhere. They blown on rasins forever and finally now it's getting somewhere. Should be a really good weekend on tap.
-
It was a good day but snow definitely took a dive after yesterday's hero snow. First run down main there was so much debris and the right side was pretty uneven. Lazy was the best run again but suffered the same fate as dis, with all the people at highly variable speed if you chose the wrong school of fish you were absolutely closed out. Super good to see them pound razors so that can be done with. Forecast looks to be Gucci Gold so should be a dope week coming up. Had to stop at the store on the way home, people were losing their minds on the wind but I think it's kinda fun to see. My front door seal is whistling Dixie which it's never done before.

Are you a front side parker ? I keep my eye out for anyone I know but even when I see you around I couldn't figure out if you were coming out up at the top lot or what.

Super super good day to be out and about. One of the best snow conditions in my opinion, main first thing was arc arc arc arc and lazy was maybe even better and held up nicely. Dis is dis its good but that run out is getting spicy for the beginners which is the cherry on top. Parking lot was tip top, beer Jesus had zombie dust which is like an instant flashback to my early craft beer days and lo and behold a CBI trip was in order. The juggy maiden has long since moved on to the glitter and glam of the west end saloon but it was most nice to get back in their with even better company. I cannot fathom how there is a way in which tomorrow isn't mad brick, all the semis were really struggling on my way home so super glad to make the most of today.

Marcy is amazing, particularly for an EC mtn it feels big. In all the times we tried the conditions were never good enough to ski it from the top. The ski trail was super cool but always wanted to ski off the back, I think it's called lions head area but I'd have to get my green book out.

Yes and some of the ones in the high peaks, many moons ago there was a TR from Peggy O

Oh fuck, I saw them bring in the ambulances and I didn't see BFG's crew at all but hope those dudes are good, they are good people.

Mbike once came to meet me at work to borrow some avy gear for WF and he walked right past me. There is a guy i work with now that apparently skis at blue but he would never recognize me. I don't take it as an insult, most people are very boring and have no range. I am very good at what I do, be it skiing, work, fucking....what you would find funny is I do alot of speaking for cles and in work townhalls, I'm also good at that. This is the way, but when you get at passing distance whatever way they set their feet go the opposite. It's an arc like a car, so it's not possible to occupy the same space if your timing is right. It's like passing a semi, don't fuck around pass or stay behind.

Blue just emailed me a drone picture of JohnnyLaw

🤣🤣 I bet their are some feet dudes who hangout around blue just to watch people put their boots on Quad and new sixer run, all three got lots of new netting to make fancy cattle chutes and all threw have designated season pass lines after Sunday. Weekday the old sixer only ran Monday when it was packed, like Saturday packed and my guess is it's only going to run if it's super busy. The ikon people I talked to Monday seem to be gone but thats just randos I happen to talk to. Besides Monday it's been ski on at least until early afternoon, my gut says the super packed lines shit is a weekend/rando ikon day thing that will be harder to predict and consequently be a tough one for blue. -
Lessons you cut the line because it's almost always timed and you pay out the ass plus it's assumed the instructor will fill chairs. BMR are a necessary evil I think, too much money for them to turn down and I do like going by them as they don't get passed alot so they are always surprised. My absolute favorite is when they are dicking around mid lower main strung out horizontaly like Christmas lights. You get the motor going and from the very top just go straight at them, do not deviate do not for even the billionth of a second unsquare your body from the fall line, go faster and faster directly at them and watch them squirm. You want to have a confab every 10 turns gtfo the trail or at least line up and down the hill. Someone I know used to like to use them and ski patrol on challenge as gates, one time he got so close going so fast I swear the dude pooped his pants. Good times

Sat,Sun and Mon...... should be a wild ride -
I'm just glad to see some improvement, I'm sure it will be nuts to butts but some simple things will really help. Interested to see if they are ready tomorrow, all week they've been good but it's easy when it's empty.
-
They have dedicated season pass lines but they also upped their cattle chute game all around. They had pleeb chutes setup at like 910 on the new sixer which is good for them.

Rode from 9 to 11, c1er and Oz in the house otherwise empty didn't even see BFG's crew. Main was hard stiff resonator cord with odd debris piles, lazy and dis held softer turns and the big right was in good shape to slut it up. Headwall of coming soon was also pretty firm but smooth enough that it didn't matter. The dis runout continues to confound the beginners which at the very least is fun to watch. I would imagine there will be an hour or two where it's perfect hero snow as it was slowly getting softer. It was pretty quiet overall but you can tell there are more people early, I imagine this weekend with be quite busy. Skied with a dude named Jack on armadas, he was keen perhaps to make aquanticies so if he shows up here he's legit.

They actually had season pass lanes set up today on both lifts. It has a designated cattle chute and everything.
-
I had a window on the swing shift, Kurt's crew was soaking up the sun but pretty empty. Super super good hero snow, set it and forget it all the way top to bottom main, lazy was super good just effortless arcs and even coming soon was pretty smooth. The run out of pdis is brown town lumpy af again but a super super nice day to let them run. I didn't do Vista midway but I heard they filled in the death gap.
-
Work is stupid everyday. Today and tomorrow I'm on the swing shift as I have a bunch of dumb meetings in the morning. I bet first thing tomorrow is going to be pretty good.
-
Rode from 11 -1, very good soft snow, minimal lumpiness but enough to keep speed at level 9. Overall the hill did remarkably well, though for those that like to travel at speed be very careful at the waterbars, the end of dis and the crossover from Vista to midway both are sporting 2x1 ft chasms that are best delt with in the air. Main has a big fucking hole from all the water running underneath but otherwise held fast super grip arc arc arc turns. Nobody was home which is the best condition and it was super nice to let them fly. First thing in the morning when it's still smooth you could really let them run.
-
Don't forget Rona, mad people had to go play outside and turns out touching grass is actually pretty dope. Bikes are the same way, mad people stopped riding once things went back to kinda normal but mad people found out they loved it. I'm not besmirching them just saying there are way more people outdoors now.
-
Maiden creek is by far the biggest I've ever seen. It looks like the Schuylkill which just looks fat probably due to Blue Marsh dam. All the stilt houses before lenhartsville have taken serious water, a bunch are still about 50% underwater.

I'm pretty sure they only have the Henrik harlut 2.0 but I'll double check today. My daughters school was delayed two hours so I'm on the early afternoon schedule but last I checked they had no gold, ripper or the Evo pattern.

I don't even really like country music but you can't help but get down to Chattahoochee. Lows in the teens monday/Tuesday night, if it works out that is a really good blowing window
