I know but it's shortish you'd figure it would be quick and it rocks so why not....

The valley complex should be relatively speaking close, the big dogs won't go until after the warm up but if they want to run the sixer this weekend it can happen for sure. EDIT: Why not switchback....would love some switchback action.....

Very nice production......the others should be along shortly then....

Edge is up apparently

Shit was real gud

I'll be up around 630-7

x2 However there are changes a foot in the stratosphere....NAO going negative, in traditional years this should be pretty good...57-58 was apparently a scorcher +8 and jan/feb were apparently pretty good....PA is currently approx +10 which can't hold I mean that's Hollywood movie shit.....mets are mixed I'd say 2/3 are sold on a pattern change evidenced by the changing of the stratosphere, a step change not a full 180 another 1/3 are sold on nothing in sight....to be fair at some level we are off the reservation......

Yeah....I've done my best to stay positive and look for the cold air possibilities but its getting really rough.....for 20 years I've skied for Christmas vacation, this year we are going to Disney....WTF mate ? It has to come around it just has to......I think......

Which is why it's so warm here......the last two years were super fucking cold in NE and warmer and dry out west, this year is the reverse but its nothing more than sides on the same coin. Pacific is warm jet stream is riding so fucking high bringing all the warm air underneath and the preventing polar air from surging south. The previous years were just the opposite but they both have the same problem extreme jet stream weirdness......

It's not going to raise the temps to the point were skiing is impossible or everyone dies from the heat alone. The temp rise will certainly not be uniform but that's not the actual problem. The problem is everything we do, human existence to some extent is predicated on certain patterns of weather and those are long gone at least for the moment. The last two years were exceptionally cold in the NE which was because of warming in the upper atmosphere and a relatively weak jet stream. This year it's shit because of warming in the pacific, both can and likely do have the same root cause. Humans society is a result of predictability, we need it to rain in the same areas year after year with essentially the same amounts, you can't pick up and move the entire Midwest. It's not temp rise it's all the other things that go along with the increased volatility, what good is cold air if 20 mil people in Bangladesh are now dead and another 50mil have created a refugee crisis the likes of which the world has never seen. What use is snow making if you have a global finical system under serious pressure in say the scenario above ? If you concentrate only on the increased warmth of GCC you miss the point. We have never done this before by any stretch of the imagination no one knows a whole hell of alot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Couple days of coldish air on the way, Blue should get some at least marginal blowing in.

Roll's eyes..........

Right now its so bad we are like fish that haven't eaten in awhile....... were biting on everything. Coldish Air is on the way.

It's the talent......single best blue day ever hopefully at least one more before I die....... ____________________________________ This is the payment for the last two years which were about as good as PA gets. It will get cold, Blue will open, we will drink beer and ski we just got to get it in with a few less weeks.....I mean eventually the sun angle gets so shitty it has to be cold......

There is a possibility of a break around the 17th, not much but three or four days with lows in the upper 20's so maybe the could get something open for Christmas. Then it appears right about Christmas we get some reasonable weather.......

While not quite as good this place is alot closer than Hamburg, well Germany Hamburg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf_r4hmQNMU

One of the craziest nights of my life was at the bar up top of the Red Lion, SLC women are insane, they don't get off the leash much but when they do shit is crazy plus I hear they like butt stuff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'd stay downtown, rent a SUV and drive to as many places as possible. Seriously don't got to the same place twice unless you have a real good reason. Every place in UT including Sundance has a time and a place, if you learn this info next time you go back your trip will be super sweet because you know the info. One year it was going off in the Uintas but no so much in BCC/LCC so Pow Mow/Basin, another year it was super boney so the best conditions were outside the gates so we went to Brighton to run Clayton and Hidden Canyon, one very strange year storms were coming more out of the south and killing Sundance/Timp. My point is don't lock yourself into anything, downtown is cheap take the $ you saved and rent a car. Go everywhere so next time you know exactly were the spot to be is. They are all amazing but what seperates a good day from a perfect day is a little bit of knowledge. EDIT: The worst of the bunch for EC dudes trying to ski pow is Alta, place gets tracked wicked wicked fast and everything good requires traversing which EC peeps generally suck at because they don't do it. Alta is a place that requires you to put in a good bunch of days really exploring boundary to boundary and maybe a little wolvy lol before you can ski it right. Don't get me wrong gloryhole with some fresh is mind blowing but first time if you blow your big snow day for Alta you'll probably end up disappointed because that 70 year old granola hippy dude actually fucking rips and he's way way faster than you on traverses. So while your still fucking around on the high t trying to act cool he's already moved on to Catherine's or wildcat or ditched for a trip up superior.

WTF ? That fucking sucks was having so much fun.......BC I guess for gates now.....SMH

The mtn itself is fine though it's a little too vertical in design, everyone ends up on top of each other. The people that ski there however are the worst people on earth......if I'm going to the catskills it's because we are skiing with my daughter and didn't want to drive to VT and then I'm skiing platty or bell.

Patience, long term forecasts are mostly make believe..........

Fuck Huntah

yeah nothing is really working out right now........

The dreaded R type precip has appeared in the forecast.....fuck

Grease is like the worst movies ever made no doubt

Looks like the warm up won't be as bad and the possible rain this weekend shouldn't be too much, the 5th looks to be the opening day....this weekend I think is too long a shot with the mixed weather

That's revenue not profit........they are most definitely carrying insurance for this kind of thing but with a mil payout their premiums will rise and they are already probably pretty high.
