  1. You gotta go full USSR and start before the gun up top, today you could go two left of the poles which is as far left as I've gone on the top. It was like slightly faster cross country where it's flat but was mad nice making doodle turns looking at squirls and rabbits and shit.
  2. Honestly I only got up this morning as I couldn't go yesterday with work and all the way up to first run down razors I figured a coating at best. Hopefully this is a good omen for tonight, even 3 would be nice.....especially wherever the wind ends up taking it all.
  3. Both days for sure but maybe only one day if something comes up
  4. It's called just the tip.....like Ivanka Trump I awoke this morning to a surprise two inches. NOAA said a half inch but the keen eagle eye of BenM was the first to spot patrols deeper tracks on Razors. A solid 2 made razors a dream and light for pa, if you didn't look down you didn't know it was even there. Next up was CS, with snow Mao Pow was in full effect and held excellent untracked soft snow all the way to the Berlin wall. Not surprising given the quality of his inaugural run but BenM has joined the glorious revolution. You can stay deep in the trench you can play high on the wall you can even grind the spine shit is all spectacular. Everything else is tits Mcgee but after two more on switch and widowmaker the untracked was gone. Fucked with blue bomber glades which were so nice I decided to fuck with the switch woods which were a luge track with some fluff so more time for the woods woods to be in. Super super nice sleeper morning with snow that skis really really nice even after it's all cut up. You can't hear people skiing from the lift, the skis are throwing up cold smoke and there is adventure in the skiing. Outside of the real snow days it's as good out there as it ever is.
  5. For anyone not in the know this song was first featured in the ground breaking documentary Booter Crunk. Of course remembered by all for asking the eternal question of how does one get Booter Crunk? It also sums up the feeling of skiing hike to Josef Stylish, Karl Marx, Rainbow Stalin whatever we are calling it. Perfect fluff all tucked in though all the way downtown is a bit firm. Rode this morning with Gary and Kurt, sixer only. They blew a skif across almost the entire mountain and while the snow is very nice if yesterday was 10/10 today is 9/10. Very good snow but some loose mixed in with harder patches. No bumps on main made it super wide and massive news they've groomed a bit of a ledge into the center section of switch. Personally I've always wanted to be able to mix a little air in there and make it harder to get on the right turn fast enough and it's perfect pop land insta carve right. Lazy now has rollers before the big turn. Now what everyone really wants parking gossip. Gary said that he was told by the blizzard ski guy who claims to be the former blue finance guy that it's 40$ a day up close 10$ in the back, no season pass. Then I heard from Diane ? The lady in the vail mask that it was an extra 150 on your season pass or 20$ a day any lot. This caused another lift rider I'll call lady who's always with the lady that might be Diane or Diane herself to proclaim that a lifty told her it was 10$ for front row only weekends only to pay for the new fantasy lift. FWIW I think we are all eating our own rumor and then regurgitating the slop as new news but if they do something my hope is just that it's not stupid and annoying. Like having to give the can zinchy guy an Andrew Jackson everyday to break my neck because I'm not wearing 12 point steel crampons to navigate the glacier that is the lower lot.
  6. Have a kick ass sea bass time, looks gorgeous
  7. I'm a jelly roll, hike only TCS is dope and the way it should be weekday mornings. The snow looks so good and grey PA winter mornings are what I think of when I hear the word winter. I say refer to that line by a communist of your choice, be interesting with your stashes and name matters eg Hydrox vs Oreos
  8. Got out for a quick two hours before work, only Kurt in the house. Blur skies and full sun made it feel warm and no wind. Snow is a continuation of this weekend. Challenge was a carpet, rasins was groomed and except for a few ice patches was very good. Switch and Main were perfect 10/10 snow though they are blowing full bore in come around so there is some loose blow over on upper main. Side in full sun is glorious though they did take a little off the top of the third roller. Quad sucked balls by 930 you had to use the vip and at 940 or so it stopped for 15 mins. That nuked the line but thankfully one of Kurt's crew was spying on the sixer and noticed it was now going and we could escape the quad. ROTD was Karl Marx they had blown on the CS headway which had filled it in with a nice inch in so of the super spongy. Super fun slash turns but they've built a very complicated exit out of the nets someone is going to be like a dolphin in a tuna net.
  9. It's highly likely most days I love to talk and I'm pretty sure I'm remembering the right person. It was nice chatting say hi in the future for sure if they are wearing a pink or purple poc it's me.
  10. I'm wonder how low it's programed to display down to ? Baller BV day and you can ski from the top of there to all kinds of places. It's actually a super cool hill but how many layers where your wearing ?
  11. Some may disagree but I think the more important question is what do you want to do with it ? Mostly EC ? Slack or way out in the boonies type shit. Do you want to be a goat going up or hucking cliffs on the way down ? If you have a concept with want you want to do you can build out the rig. EC dominant narrower and light but has to be 10000% bulletproof, shorter for getting around and slightly forgiving for when it's shit is my preference. FAT softer surfy more slack rigs out west where it's almost always lifts and gates approach but that's what I want to do with them. The ski matters more than in resort skiing and people are way more particular about bindings. I would say fondle some in the lot at blue or in a store and get an idea for how they are different in how the work, ramp angles, pivot points, burliness, heal lifters etc etc. Pick the one that meshes with the idea behind the ski that you like but certain ones are on the hype machine. Boots in my mind have to be comfortable because there is alot more going on than in resort skiing and if there is a hot spot your feet can get eaten up.
  12. I had a pair of those last me like 10 years, I just kept putting new glue over the pine needles but they would never stop. I left them in a tree on the root canal slides in the daks but I bet they are still out there they are the Tacoma of skins.
  13. Most people in reading speak Spanish but I still don't think there is anyone who talks like me
  14. Today was sooo good and like right back to really good snow. I love the rhythm section on side, hammer down through the left, stay super tight right and then it gets super interesting, three rollers with perfect spacing while the skis are just absolutely crackling with speed. Right before the second air out of 3 my brain is screaming slow down but onward we push ever faster into the 3rd air and then it's land and instantly full rudder right max angulation and you can go to plaid kinda speed into the cutover. I could do that everyday for the rest of my life and be super happy. Upper main was 11/10 snow and switch was so good I did it like 6 times in a row. Top notch lot session, nicks grandma's pepperoni rolls and venison backstrap, bomb ass pizza from Schiff all expertly prepared by Enjo who also had 4938392 treats of his own. The shrimp alone would have been a feast. Old forge style pizza is super good, American cheese grease adds something super nice to the flavor. Super super good weekend makes me wish it was arctic every weekend.
  15. Super super good day, really good snow and cold but not nearly as bad as last weekend. Good to have side back and I love the rollers, its such a good rhythm section like air turn air air turn turn air. Justo showed me the communist side of coming soon which is hyper fun and slashy terrain is rare at blue. Shit was rocking when I left they are making some bank......once I'm not there pack them in like sardines
  16. You gotta get in on the what temp on the way up, we need as many samples as possible for accuracy. Coldest I had was -1 when I pulled in the bottom lot.
  17. BV is cool it has some dope tours from the top and if you stay after 3pm when the schools in Burlington let out its lots of shenanigans.
  18. Sick bird!!!!!!! Amazing how good the snow looks when blue is what it is. Those are sexy skins I like how they look like a Persian carpet.
  19. Today I honored legendary skier JF Cusson and slept but I'll be there tomorrow and Sunday
  20. That's oddly descriptive as I know exactly who your talking about
  21. That's what I thought his name is but whomever Harold is dope
  22. Is that the short guy ?
  23. I think it has me at 17 which is good as my pass didn't work for the first week lol
  24. Blue sometimes looks like the surface of the moon but the gun side looks super fun.
