All the trucks are at home, best drive in a decade at least. Much better day than I maybe thought, crowds were very low for a Sunday and the snow was good even when it got ratty. I don't fuck with lazy so only thing I thought that was not good was nmdw. The features aren't as bad as in the past and I think we'll figure out a good path but too many cookies. Super props to enjo for cooking, no matter the conditions that makes for a most excellent day and those shrimp ! Special shout out to little boo, one for hooking me up with cookies and two for an incident with a boarder. I hope she wrangled something good out of you Mute for that one.

Today was awesome, snow was generally pretty good and while it was busy the lines were not terrible until 10. It will be nice once nmdw cookies break down and there is another way down but pretty much everything was worth it. I love that you can feel the energy and excitement with tomorrow's potential storm, in like electricity in the air.

I'll ski you there

This week has been very good top to bottom and while not as good as yesterday it's still pretty fucking good for blue mtn. You can go all out in spots but other spots there was some slip in the transition where the ski is flat for a moment. Lower left main was absolutely mint but the rest was a mixed bag. I thought the best was side but mostly just as it was relatively empty. Super dope to have a big weekday crew with special guest appearances by boo bear. I'm optimistic the weekend will be good at least for the first 20 mins, its snowing half decent too.

It's in NJ, that's all you need to know.......no matter the snow it's always still mtn creek

Tussey maintenance makes blue mtn look like Courchevel

Way back I rode alot of knob, don't sleep on that road. It may be pa but it's one of the most dangerous I've ever seen. I'm out of the loop but all I've heard is the knob has no money and therefore no money to blow snow hence no customers. Denton always has had a couple of hardcores but with all the jazz about getting that place open and peeps buying every resort they can get their hands on it doesn't make a ton of sense they are so broke.

When you get that first arc and you can see, hear and feel it's fucking mint it's like pure electric flowing from the edges directly into your brain. Pretty much everything was good but some where about as good as blue gets. Main in particular you could do any angle or turn shape you wanted at any speed, just absolute bliss. There is still the groomer on Razors and nmdw is probably over as they were blowing whales but it didn't matter at all as everything was just so good. Up against the clock I took three more one more runs and when I ran into boo bear on the way out one half of my brain was trying to con the other half into taking another run. Rare to not get your phil like Mickelson and assuming Fri and Sat don't get too warm could be a good weekend.

I'll be up tomorrow morning just maybe not right at opening.

Damn dude, he told me years ago it pays for his wife's insulin but I always think he must be collecting from everywhere because alu is like 80 cents a lb. I want to throw him some loot but no way he'd take it.

I vote that they let the lower lot can guy go official and let him clean up the hill. All cans will be gone by 730 Saturday morning.

Arrived under sunny skies but winder and cold, far far less people were in the house and I only rode with Airhead and Atomics friend the Bush Agent. I might have seen C1er as he was getting on the quad but it could have been a look alike. Only the quad and new 6 running so I started quad, Razors had a Berlin wall like setup going so we went Nmdw which looked mint but had more of a firmness crunchy layer than sat-mon. Grip was still excellent but it definitely requires more angle and commitment. Challenge, Side, Coming Soon were all very good but exactly the same snow though it did look and feel like they blew in some rando spots mostly down low. Switch was good but I'm still pouring one out for my homey as without the middle air it's less interesting. Best run of the day was Raceway,mid, lower main. For unknown reasons that combo and upper main held snow without the harder layer and I ran those until I had to work. It's possible with some good solar radiation that the upper layer softens which would make it divine but hell if I know if or when that would happen. Thinking with a groom out tomorrow could be good as well.

Rode with non-vt mark and c1er. Sky was grey and crowds were moderate for a Monday but non existent compared to the weekends. I went challenge, Razors, nmdw then side and all were absolutely perfect cord to just arc the fuck out of everything. I was antsy in the pantsy to turn the throttle up to 400 and it was so nice to be able to put the throttle down without having to dodge endless Jerry's. I went nmdw again but it had started to cookie up some, this and the coming soon headwall got some light pebs once the top layer was off but the ditch was full on boxer rebellion. Super spongy scratchy snow and the right side walls are so big you think you're out in red Square. Main, Curtis where all total boner city but switch was nearly perfect. Excellent snow with nobody home and your coming out of that like Franz Klamerr at Kitzbühel. Super good morning and extra nice after all the crowds to unclog my chi. Hopefully the minor brick up tonight doesn't add a crunchy layer.

First couple were le tits, maybe even better than yesterday but it lasted all of 20 mins and my lord the crowds. It was busy by 750 which has to be a record. I thought nmdw was the best but probably anything early was excellent. The mowed down the little riser on switch which is mad disappointing but I doubt blue was thinking of my boost. The true star is today was the tacos, super props to enjo, they were banging and there is nothing like great food and shooting the shit after skiing.

Titty sparkles everywhere, way to slut it up for the camera too

I didn't see anything, if your far right at the merge at main it cuts way in and is not visible until your on top of it but that was the only thing I saw.

Maybe it's becuase I keep going to Florida but I thought today was the best turns of the year. The first couple were damn near perfect and for a turn you could be skiing anywhere. Even the stuff below the inch had good grip. I love the high walls on the ditch, it ruins your speed but you can get so high and slutty. Ridge was in front of me I think and his tails looked quite majestic in the glimmering snow. It got super crowded fast and I'm always 50/50 on another run but I'm only asking to make 945 before it's butts to nuts at all three lifts.

Yes, there isn't much that would compel me to Florida twice during ski season. I hope they don't suck.

Just do the math on the surface area alone and the real discussion is single vs dual rope. No single rope can hold a candle to dual rope.

Read the words it's not talking about wind loading values but protecting riders...... unless they put all the chairs in a wind tunnel it's all guessing and even then the direction and placement is way way way way more important.

I don't think that says what you think it says, anyways none of it matters as the primary factors are so dominant the number of times the bubble non bubble matters is minimal. Placement would be far far far more important, same thing with fences or similar. Think quincy at dv and why all the lifts at flagstaff are positioned the way they are.

That's fucking insane, you couldn't pay me 125 to ski there for 8hrs on Saturday but short of the covid year demand seems high.

It's the same root cause as everything else. In their eternal quest to suck every last penny possible out of the place they found the limit where people stop coming because the experience is shit. The real question is how much do they even care ? Skiing is a shitty business and I have to believe all the other shit they have going on makes way more money so from a business perspective replacing lifts or doing maintenance doesn't make alot of sense if you believe you don't need the skiing to bring them in the door. Blue for all it's many faults only really has skiing to make money from so the skiing at least in theory can never be that bad.

Now I'm hungry for nuggets...... that was a dope day

It seems more busy this year in general and my theory is it's in part because CB is sucking pretty hard. Today was dope, NMDW delivered excellent turns with more winter like snow. Vis was not great and I had trouble spotting the left but it was so nice to let them fly. Switch is always super fun and totally empty at least when I was on it which is just so nice after the weekend crowds. I'm headed to Miami and won't be back until this weekend but while getting a mount the main shop lady said they have already sold a stupid number of tickets for this weekend but it could be all lies and innuendo too, it is blue after all.
