  1. Good thing there are never any people at blue so this should really help put peeps on the empty trails. /s I already get an ikon every year but I don't like this, acerage was already in high demand and there are a mother fuck ton of EC peeps who have ikons to ski somewhere out west who will now pop into blue a few times a year. It was inevitable but I doubt come the end of the season anyone is like thank God blue is on ikon.
  2. I don't know all the details but they are putting one of those kop style condo/apt/ mini inclosed communities in Rose Park which was always a working class area of SLC. I think it's more the straw that broke the camels back but peeps where all out of shape about the end of old ut. I don't know what the answer is but I just tell people the best skiing in UT is at PC. Back in the day wasn't it all 200+, that old dude who's at the lineup during the week says his dailys where 220's back in the day. I do miss those skis and edge would love them......... in further edge news I heard Denton is back this season. Steepest in the east was their claim no ? Up at DV they have a Top Golf in the St. Regis. It's the smaller swing suites but it's a real good time with food and drinks and all that, plus it's good spot for all ages. If you go up the road don't miss Goldener Hirsch. I also highly highly highly recommend a stop at Salt outside on the deck at the St. Regis or in the Vintage Room. The truffle pizza is le tits and they added a lobster roll that is to die for. Ski all morning,then eat a lunch of nothing but lobster roll and oysters while on the deck in the sun... now that's living. My brother loves the shopping but it's all too much Patagonia for me, we Norwegians is dope though. Town lift has been weird since covid, if your staying somewhere and your plan is to use the town lift I would pay alot of attention to the start of the season and when it's running. Mad peeps had to change plans and drive down when it's late/not running, plus then your totally fucked on getting a spot.
  3. Shit was absolutely insane this season, check the wasangles snake on IG for details. The fucking gondola/real estate scam I think will only make shit worse but it is some of the best skiing anywhere so hard to say it's surprising. My uncle basically lives on the other side all winter and he says it's all dependent on the day. Holiday weekends and mega dumps you gotta be at the bottom by 6 but other days particularly mid week you drive right up. Weirdly Brighton has been very difficult. Parking at Albion has become hectic af if you can get a spot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I got a sick ass kappa Italian ski team jacket I've been trying to find for a bit and a second trew real taste the rainbow type look. How in the fuck do you all already know where your going ? I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow let alone February........ the only one that is burning a hole in my brain is Revelstoke and I have an ikon so hell or high water. I'll probably go to UT but I think it's a warm vacation Christmas year idk. It will just be so impossibly nice to ski, I'm hoping side goes this year then it will be like a whole new trail.
  4. Only a few more days, Saturday it's 74 in state college or something
  5. Siiiiiick !!! Nz is almost all club fields so the skiing is all dirt bag which I love and shitty lifts. Super cool pics and way to get to a place most don't.
  6. It was chilly the other night at the beach, I could smell fall just around the bend
  7. The main street in Montpelier we were walking down in April got rocked. From what I gather a total loss for those businesses....empire was a dope dispensary too....Warren falls is probably real bad
  8. You didn't even hit me up to do lunch at Arby's....smh
  9. I'd end up taking me ear off or something, the control is impressive and I bet those motors can put out a shit ton of power to weight
  10. Those are cool AF, a f-14 with working swept wings is boyhood dream level. There used to be a club behind farming Ridge where I grew up and those dudes were just the coolest. Partially becuase they left porno mags laying around but mostly their toys. One dudes had a jet engine though I can't recall him ever getting it to work.
  11. Just catching up put I'll have to pick your brain on that area. My grandparents went mad years ago and it's high on my list of off the beaten path type places. Ec of Canada is seriously under traveled
  12. The fan guns cover more ground though so maybe they are thinking bang for the buck and throw down more coverage on the flat spots. Throw more guns at the intersections and cross overs which generally are the toughest. Somebody else said it too but fans don't require compressed air so again more bang for your buck. The far side of razors is always thinner and I can see the groomer being like yo pushing this slop across is dumb but I'd throw all these guns up high on the flats and same down low. The new sixer was thin all year.
  13. That's cool AF, I'm normally a very cool customer but there are definitely a couple peeps it would melt my brain. The short tie too is a very tough look to pull off so job well done......unbutton the top button and hide it with the tie is my method.... it looks a little worse but who am I the king of England ?
  14. Dude is that actually him ? Nyc has a million look alikes but mad cool..... you know they are an actual person but even up close your brain almost can't believe they are actual people
  15. Looks like a Patagonia or Prana based on the color and one if the 100000 famous rays....... I argue that you could fall into a rando place in NYC and the pizza will be better than 99% of west of the Mississippi. Subarro not included
  16. I took Monday off originally to ski sugarloaf but my lazy ass wanted to take some time off the clock driving home and went to Stratton. From the first run down standard it was perfect, absolutely empty and super smooth perfect corn. Run after run just me and myself harvesting the corn. I ran standard top to bottom 8 or 9 times as the gondy was empty but really everything outside of captain Janeway was 11/10. This was one of the best spring trips I've ever had and I can't remember a better 4 day stretch skiing the east in a long long time. I agree if possible I would like to end my season up there. I fucking despise the end of skiing, I hate when Blue closes and I super hate when my season is getting to an end.......Winter should be 9 months long
  17. It doesn't snow much at some of those places. Telluride in particular only does 250 or so most years. Every 1 in 10 years or so the flow will favor the San Juan's but those are relatively rare years. The front range too is getting the old drier parts of the storms that have now been up and down a series of mtns as they move west to east.
  18. This will be it for alot of people, I think the next one is 20 or 30 years for the US
  19. You can almost always tell its magic ! Looks like a super nice day. ‐--------------------------------------------- I wanted to go to Sugarloaf but when I woke up at 5 and realized I could sleep 2 more hours if I went to the River that made it easy. Score two more points for being lazy because it was le tits. Super sunny with nobody around the trails baked up to a super nice smooth corn around 10am. I rode mostly empty trail after empty trail as the river has alot of horizontal terrain. The shots are a little shorter as its like 40000 peaks but some really nice wide groomers you could uncork it on. My legs were trash from all the bumps the last couple days but I did take two on Top Gun and it was super nice soft easy airplane bump turns. It was a very very nice spring day and man I gotta get up to the river more.
  20. Another fire day in the Mad River Valley. I forgot how vertical the bush is but first run down heavens in the kinda stiff and I remembered. NM had called gatehouse like 2 days ago and it was prime, super soft miking it kinda turns. Super nice soft bumps and just super fun everywhere you go. The beer everywhere is redic but super glad we stopped at Lawsons both for the beer and intrigue. The rest of the crew is headed south whereas my destiny lies east across the border but it was most excellent to rip with such a fine crew. I've skied more bumps in two days than two years and there may be no higher compliment.
  21. Today was doooope ! Classic VT like 16 different snows on the hill, super super perfect corn and then the next turn is boilerplate, then grass, then firm groom etc etc and its all up to you to navigate. Outer limits was very very good, one run I got in a good line and it was lazy falling airplane turns all the way down. Vagabond was also very good with the perfect amount of skankiness. I think this has been the longest I've gone between visits but say what you will its a fantastic mtn. There is that millisecond in skiing where you can feel your shit going south because something unexpected has occurred in the snow. The more you ski the less it happens as you get better at predicting what to expect but I think at no mtn have I spent more time in the oh that's interesting place in seemingly non threatening terrain than Killy. Like the rodeo in Mexico it's gloriously sketchy. Proper fucking crew and a gorgeous day in the mtns.
  22. I rode this morning, classic PA day, grey and windy and colder than the temps. They blew last night maybe but to little effect. There was some blown on some ti rarees and slow spots but only the same stuff was open. All the north face stuff went but was closed for 10ft patches of brown. I rode everything open but mostly cannonball a thousand times. It was a super fun rolly Brownstown with a little bit of ripping. Absolutely nobody was there but super nice of them to stay open.
  23. Nice ! I'll be up tomorrow morning if anyone else is around.
  24. I'll be up Sunday morning and probably hit up Montage tomorrow morning
  25. Today was super dope and once everything warmed up it got really good. Huge props to Ben for getting the skis signed and killing it on Razors. I despise the end of ski season, skiing as a lifestyle is my dream of dreams but we did take what was a very shitty weather season and make it tremendous fun. It was an honor and a pleasure.
