There are more people riding Pali than at the Royals, every time I'm there it's empty empty so they are going the FL Panthers route......many moons ago you could get a .50$ ticket and the one with the meal pack was under $20, my sister would go all the time just to eat
-
I talked to some workers who said alot of the food is the same price in the valley as at slopeside so if your going to get food might as well eat there were it's nice

I had meetings this morning so I was on the afternoon schedule again. Super spring like, low crowds and that smell when snow is melting. Razors was closed for the training of 6 people but coming soon is back on the menu. Upper ditch is non existent but the lower ditch held good super soft turns. Snow was slow, soft serve ice cream. Main was pretty much perfect except for some piles at the bottom but the lip on upper upper is massive and you can boost out to Pluto. New sixer was running and the quad which I like more than quad and old sixer. NM/DW was getting alot of work to push out, particularly for the power right turn and the portal to hell. It may be a bit thin or narrow but I bet it opens Friday or Saturday. I can't imagine there is enough snow on there for any kind of features at all.

It's just a little thin but speak of the devil. He did one push down from the piles on NM and one up from DW and it's one groomer width wide so assuming he does another down it should be at least two or 2 1/2 widths. I can't see the bottom but that looks like the thinnest section. My guess is push it out, let it rain and it opens Friday.
-
It's thin on the second power right as I never saw them with those guns on. They can push down from NM but I'd bet there is less snow there than we think.

I miss the carny trucks with fried oreos. The og valley lodge I remember being way different than now.

I had meetings this morning so i went up for some afternoon delight. Good grip but too much water in the snow and horizontal movement was very high drag. With the warm temps there were moderate piles as it started to come apart but upperp main and pdis were still smooth. Not alot of people around so the new lift wasn't running. I did see BFG and crew eating snacks on my way in but otherwise a quiet day.
-
I ride a pair of LP's alot but not that graphic which is world class in my opinion
-
This morning was some of the best of the year, good crew, low crowds and good snow. Set it and forget it skiing where you can put the hammer down. The new lift so far has been running pretty slow but it has alot more buttons than the dirty double.
-
I forgot about razors, it looked bad from the lift but it was even worse than I imagined. It was so hilariously uneven about half way down I can hear indiggio dying laughing behind me. It was mad cobble stone skiing
-
At least if you can't see anything it looks like nobody is home.......I heard Highlands the other day had a phantom 10" that skied deep on the lower half of the hill and I would just be happy if it stayed cold a bit.
-
Today was considerably better than yesterday but that's an awfully low bar. Riding the new lift was dope to see the same old hill from new perspectives. I'm not a fan at all of how many people it puts on main, particularly if it fucks switch. Most excellent to hang in the lot with some sun, no matter the snow shooting the shit delivers.
-
There was a season they closed in January for a bit but that season started super slow so it was more expected and I remember a year we rode the same 6 trails for like 5 weeks but I don't recall one where it simply isn't getting cold really at all.
-
It seems to be getting shorter every season too. I swear back in the day you could get two or three but now it's one and done
-
I played the most dangerous game and ended up sleeping until 620 but was only 2 or 3 minutes behind. Snow was just ok but I think we are now at the point we just have to happy to have some. I expected more theatrics for the new lift, I would have done it at night so you can really see all the fireworks and lasers throw in some dry firing cannons and solid gold dancers and now that's a way to open a lift

Weekend roll call thread 1/13-1/16…

Sat and Sunday for sure -
BFG has always been famous........it should harden a bit tonight as it will at least get down to freezing for a couple hours.
-
I have a mental disorder clearly but I gotta pick my new old car up so I think it ends here. I wondered if you would be there and I almost bailed when it was raining decent and sleeping sounded so good.

I saw a break in the radar and corresponding forecast change and decided to head up. In the house was C1er, a guy who worked at little gap with dope stories and some guy who was way too excited to throw his boots in a tree. Snow was very nice, a soft carpet of shaved ice consistency. Very similar to yesterday but a bit softer and more water in the upper layer so it wanted to come off in sheets. But the best condition was absolutely nobody home, 4 runs on main all by lonesome and 10 runs in an hour and half. With the requiste fog covering half the hill vis was just ok but on Razors and Main it didn't matter one bit. Set them up, let them go and boom you've gone plaid. Lots of action over at the new lift and it looks like it should be ready to go Saturday.

Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
One of the best conditions all year so far , was a treat to arc them on main. -
I was going to say I can't believe coming soon was open for 2hrs this morning then closed
-
Work conspired against me and I'm just getting here, interested to see coming soon is back open
-
Thanks dude ! That would have been a major error and I would have never caught it.
-
Looks like maybe Sunday night it starts to turn but shits been bleak
-
It was good, snow was fast with lots of grip. Crowds were medium but mostly slow school kid types. Lazy was alot of dancing between the peeps and unevenness, main was better but lower was pretty uneven too. Was soft enough it didn't matter but I can see this morning when it was smooth it was very good. I'm going to try to get there tomorrow morning too if work cooperates. They had a big yellow fan gun on crazy early so they are at least are going to try to blow tonight.
