Rode this morning, saw BFG and root from the lift. They blew all over last night and coverage has improved. They were blowing on Vista, Coming soon and the top gun on challenge when I was there. Crowds were non existent and the wind was strong but nothing crazy. Everything other than razors was a nice winter like carpet that was generally fast and had good grip. Coming Soon in particular had that super nice spongy fresh blown and you could full speed arc down the lower headwall. Who knows but hopefully all this blowing means they will be open next week.

Had a window around lunch time and with the countdown on wanted to get up. Shit was a mist to a hard rain so not a blockbuster yet by anymeans. Negative crowds, for every person that showed up two left but I did see Jimmmmmmmmmy and Harold. Snow was spectacular consistent slush and you could do whatever you want with the ski. The caveat of course is between a heavy fog on the upper 2/3 and rain Stevie Wonder could see better so you could only let them go in spots. Browns town coming through all over the place and lower DW you gotta get out your compass and sextant as its a little bit of a navigational challenge. Super fun smash and grab type outing and hopefully the rain wants to change over a bit sometime soon.

Xtal is super good and I heard less crowded post Ikon though most of the steeps are not groomers and not super steep.

Weather was a 10000% improvement over yesterday and the snow was maybe the same. Switch and coming soon were good and the ditch was great. Man it is like black hole kinda dark there in the morning post dls. Massive massive addition to our live styles of the rich and famous, lift hot dogs ! Hot hot dogs on the lift are 12/10 and as always Enjo put on a feast....I came home stuffed

Coming up over the top first thing this am was absolutely spectacular, the snow caked trees gave it a real Christmas at the north pole kinda look. Switch I thought was really good full speed uneven and they added a 3rd spot to get air which I always appreciate. Coming Soon and the middle ditch in particular were very good. The weather wasn't the best to sit around in and you couldn't see shit for awhile but with the multi color snow no need to see it anyways. Major props to Dirty for the Heady Topper, one of the absolute best.

Both days for sure

When I woke up this morning my first thought was put me in coach.....shit is catchy

Today was soooo nice and it's a rare day at blue where it has surpise depth. First run I went NM/DW and I almost couldn't believe it was untracked titty sparkles. It probably snowed about 2" but the wind made for deeper turns on more sheltered lines and it was a most excellent way to start the day.

I'll be there l, mad stoked to ski and not work

I had meetings all morning and stuff tonight so I could only get up around lunch. Snow was fantastic, soft infinite grip spring cream cheese. Saw root in line and bfgs crew was bbqing but otherwise pretty quiet.

I've skied both as have some others. If it was me it would come down to a couple of factors. How much driving you want to do ? What I'll call the party rocking factor and the big dog weather. UT is probably much faster to get around and to and from the airport. There is an early morning direct on Delta from phl that pretty much someone from my family takes every couple days. It almost always goes and you can be skiing by 1130 noon same day. BCC and LCC have been a complete cluster fuck though it sounds like your not looking there. Washington isn't that much harder as Seattle is convenient and generally out of the winter weather but the hills are spread out more and some are a bit of work to get to, like Baker. The big factor I would say is weather. UT probably has the best odds for big ass pow days in the lower 48 if you're just like showing up. It snows alot and potentially huge amount particularly this season. The PNW on the other hand can be just as good but generally has more fickle weather with alot more rain as the hills are also alot lower. Also it's way way way heavier snow though at least personally I do like the cement it's not the 3% diamond dust in UT. The PNW definitely kills on the culture/party rocking factor. UT is alot better than 20 years ago and you can get fancy wasted at the vintage room and what not but it's either going to pricy or not as good. Any random brewery will also be alot better than whatever they are calling the new Squatters but UT does have good beer. The terrain is very different, the trees and general way they look too. UT is very pretty in spots and also very ugly. PNW looks like Jurassic Park during winter and is insanely green. Volcanos are fucking dope but so are bristle cone pines. I don't think there is a right answer but I would also think about adding a day at the big dog hills in either area. Pow Mow can be the best pow day you've ever had but it's not Alta or the Bird even remotely. Mission Ridge in Was I heard has been running like Steven's Pass last year and just the drive to Baker is a great adventure. UT has better hotels in better areas if your not spending any real effort in looking. You can just roll into Ogden or something and the Best Western will be decent whereas parts of Washington they are closer to the population centers. Also and I'm probably not objective but UT has better Mexican food as they have alot more Mexicans. Red 1 preferably, Red 2 is pretty much the same but never Blue when in SLC.

I had about an hour and half around lunch time and it wad quite good snow. Fast and with alot of grip, minimal lumps for the amount of water in the snow. You can forget how pretty it can be when all the brown is covered up in snow.

Already there, North Carolina. Depending on when I get back I might be able to ski tomorow. Feels like forever

I had to make a last minute trip for work which guarantees you guys will get some goods. 5-8 seems possible if your on the all snow side.

What happened to your foot ? Good to hear they are going whole hog

Heard it's cold AF from a friend in Revel. Stay warm and post some pics when you get there, never enough interior BC stoke.

I wish, I even went to bed early but right before route 12 something was in the road. Blew a tire and ripped a cv boot.....mother fucker but what can you do. I'll be up tomorrow if they finish in time or I get so annoyed at not skiing and having 2 cars in the shop I just fucking walk.

I got to change a tire in the hood at 530 so I'm out today

Interior BC is a dreamland, have a good flight and enjoy !

I could never tell if R2D2 was so meta it was all a joke or if he was actually just crazy

The teeter totter is maxed out to the west.....it's been snowing for 3 days straight in UT and I would settle for 3 days of cold

Anyone got any deets on the 110 sender free ? Lots and lots and lots of chatter thats it's super hot shit but while I have liked a bunch of rossi skis in the past nothing super stands out.

Ski you there both days

I'm on my way home today but I wish I could stay, 31" and still snowing..... I'll be at blue soon for sure

You post in everything Blue related even though we are all well aware of what you think and didn't give two fucks in the first place. You like to stir the pot and antagonize and when someone gives it to you back you play that same shit like above where you don't know what your doing. Do I post in your shitty trs about all the stupid ass shit you do ? Do I have a great need to go on to others threads to make myself feel better ? Who has 100000 posts in a thread they have nothing to do with and who has two ? Why do you post in every blue roll call thread when no one gives a fuck ? Who's that about? What do you feel when your doing it ? Who's judging who here ? Small people, shitty people, miserable people need that shit. I don't give two fucks what you do, I mostly pay you no attention because you are not worthy of it and my God is that bar set low. I also see no need to comment on it the vast vast majority of the time because it does nothing for me. But you do and that plus 10000 other things means I do know who you are and let's be real we all knew who you were the second you valued free food over making friends.
