I'll be there around 5 or so, I'll keep an eye out. It should be mad interesting and maybe pretty good
-
Nobody home, total empty bleachers and seemed more like pre covid mornings with just the coffee crew. Someone said they have no ticket deals so people are staying away as the price isn't worth current conditions
-
They are still blowing on lower main, lazy, midway and tubing and it almost has to be too warm. Piles on lazy and lower are mid deep, it goes for sure this weekend. They resurfaced everything last night, upper dis was a mine field of cookies but the rest had a decent softness. BFG and crew said yesterday was le tits and forecasted a high likelihood of le tits tomorrow morning but today was a Ridge 10/ Jlaw 6 kinda snow.

I'll be up around 11 if anyone is skiing today

12/12…best conditions of the season…
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
That's A+++ knowledge and good to hear the snow was good....... I'll for sure miss all the people asking where tubing is when they move it across the street -
Today was Baskin Robbins, you got all 32 flavors in one run. The snow falling was super nice but we need another way down. Coming soon was good but the only real pitch is almost always compromised. Still super good weekend

12/10…sunny Saturday. Back to winter.
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Snow is....interesting....some good and some pretty fucking bad but we are sliding in early December and skiing plus lot time just feels so right -
12/9/22….back to the weekday grind.
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Shit was good, super nice sun and blue skies plus there was snow for sliding. The lower headwall pitch on Coming Soon is always dark af though I don't remember it that way last year so maybe I'm having a stroke -
Weekend roll call thread 12/9-12/11…
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
I'll be there all three though tomorrow not until 9ish........ when did they start opening Fridays at 8am ? I like it but I scheduled a meeting at 8 as its generally been 9 opening but maybe I'm smoking crack and it's always been 8 -
Anything beyond 7 days is an educated guess at best but they can maintain a bit early next week and then hope it gets cold to push for more trails. It's dec 7th and all that jazz but once the tip is in can you really not want to get deep up in it on switch or challenge ?
-
Snow was pretty good for first day, with an appropriate level of rowdy. Super super sweet to see everyone and hang out, hopefully it gets cold and we can do this 7 days a week soon
-
It's sooooo nice out, good thing they are closed to be open tomorrow when it's for sure going to rain..........I need to go skiing LOL I'm complaining about dumb stuff but at least it got cold last night
-
I wad super stoked for Friday but now it's Sunday for me. Fucking weather but it's still early December
-
A cousin of mine is out there and said Alta was redic. 17 inches and nobody home
-
Some of the pass shit is soooo stupid, like you need a skiing pass matrix to consult before heading out. Post Thanksgiving can be busy but not at the beav and everything is becoming planned the fuck out. You can't do random anymore without 170000 hoops to jump through.

Soooooo jelly ! No cookies and a new lift.. are they getting their shit together ? Who made the first chair with Atomic ?
-
Opening weekend roll call 11/25-11/27
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Mother fuck yes !!!!! I gotta travel for Thanksgiving but I'll be up Sunday at the very worst. Mad bonus skiing and it's not even December. -
I've only stayed once downtown like blackout drunk but I've always wanted to stay at all those places. One of then, the Rio ? Is apparently 20$ a night and run by cats.....Vegas for a few days is such a riot
-
Crazy if they open Friday, that's an early start for sure plus I like how they are blowing the Magellan route first thing
-
Super sucks, they made a pair of customs for my step dad way back and they couldn't have been nicer. Plus the skis are holding up well and from what I gather they have become pretty popular particularly with their custom graphics deal. Hopefully that dude is well insured and gets back up soon

I like trains!!! Train thread...
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in General Chat
I don't disagree but the caveat is the US has by I believe many accounts to have the finest freight rail system in the world. We can do whatever if it's a priority and for alot of reasons passenger rail in the US is not a big priority now or post war really. They are inherently way more practical than single cars as they can hold way more people and travel significantly faster. Our problem is we built freight lines and they will not share them with Amtrack so you want to build something new along the EC or in CA and it costs billions as imagine if I said to you find a new relatively straight line from Philly to NYC without endless shit in the way. Tunneling is fucking more expensive than straight up burning money. I do think there is a huge difference with trains too that you don't get with flying. If nyc to LA is 20hrs on a train 8 of which is overnight and you get to see the country along the way often away from roads without all the hassle of flying I think you have to then think of the travel as part of the trip and it becomes alot more attractive. We need more critical mass in the system too and from a certain perspective the only party that could fork over the money is govt hence why they are always involved but it's not that way in lots of other places You need enough riders but to get that you need a big system but little private money is interested in paying up and building shit if its I think people will ride kinda deal. -
If you sort of drug the inside tail when turning so it got a shit ton of bite you could do the equivalent of handbrake turns with skis.....revolutionary ski design and I don't even think he used a ruler

I was going to say the double was sketchy af, there was a big cross beam they had slapped on that ran diagonally about 40ft out from loading. On a quick stop that fucker jumped and moved a good foot on the left end while the counter went 4ft off the ground. Loud af but of course I'm riding it otherwise I'd have to walk back like some kind of joker. I'm sure there was some kind of angular force or torsion so throw some big ass piece of metal up and call it a day but the new whatever it's called won't work with that back yard engineering so at least at that level it's an improvement I vote tbar as its both entertainment and transportation.
