Rack it, sick bird, ron paul 2012, Kony 2012 (seriously though somebody on Reddit posted a pic of her from when she was 18 or 19.....HOLY FUCK.....she might be crazy but she's one fine lady) Also nobody here should be on ignore that's weak sauce, settle your differences in the blue parking lot closing party like men -
Getting the kids ski's mounted, I could have done it myself but I'm doing my logiks with AT and felt lazy. Also I'm ok if my negligence fucks my knees up but not my daughters......though I doubt Blue are any more professional than I am.

Can't do that here the financials are way different. PA mtns spend alot of money blowing snow and they certainly aren't vail resorts. VR can probably do 200ish to break even assuming reasonable numbers, Blue has to be considerably higher 4 something maybe. -
nah rain is bad but nothing super terrible, they blew on all the connectors because that shit goes first. Shit ain't done yet unless they want it to be. I know I'm stuck on repeat but it goes cold on the 18th. NOAA is already on board, tuesday low 25, weds 24, etc etc. If they want to blow they certainly can and if they do unless 9" of rain fall they'll make april no problem. First real chance for 60's is mid April.

I'll be there Sunday....may try tonight since Saturday is a wash out.

Shit was a brick yo Flats had three inches of ice pellets, most of the trail was very firm irregular ruts with random boiler plate. Real shit snow which means it's a perfect time for my once a president bump runs. Mad Frankenstein kinda night, jl and bumps ? Mattedge with a helmet and then on the last run guns come on. Crazy. .....April is definitely in play

That's not what I'm saying at all, PSIA has a purpose, there is great utility in PSIA, they are an integral part of the sport. I would take a PSIA course and in the other thread talked about doing Tuesday night clinic. I would have lots of fun doing it. My point is that's all great but it's not what the sport is about, its a vehicle to get to what the sport is about. Historically the shit PSIA is interested in was part of the stagnation of skiing in the 90's, rigid dogma, intense focus on technical aspects without recognition for all the other shit skiing is actually about. Park skiing, something PSIA had/has pretty much ignored was what brought the sport back, it's whats driving the youth growth and the difference between park skiing and PSIA stuff is readily apparent to anyone. I'm not dissing PSIA, I'm saying statements like they have PSIA level 1000 shit at elk means almost nothing to me. They have no more meaning than any other random group because PSIA and JL aren't interested in the same things. Also in case you haven't noticed by now don't take things here very seriously my favorite past time here is to twist panties..... -
Somebody gotta tell Justo that at DV they carry your skis for you....lol

Blue absolutely is part total junk show. They have one of the least talented general crowds around. But blue is really a country boy that moved to the city, he fell into a job in porno when everyone realized he had a 12 inch dick. They particularly in the past succeed almost in spite of themselves. Elk is the same dude but his parents were richer and he can't stop telling everyone about it. Fuck yeah PSIA would vastly improve my short game, Jeff is far superior when it comes to carved turns. That's not my point at all, I'm saying that shit is great but it's one tiny part of the pie. Skiing is a symphony,the fucking number of things that need to occur in order to ski is likely infinite. Air pressure, specific physical properties of water, 4d space time or gravity. Human shit like materials Science, industrialization,manufacturing, electrical production, billions of people doing exactly what they are supposed to everyday. Thousands of muscles all firing in perfect synchronization with my brain to make constant tiny adjustments based on fluid in my ear in a system we call balance. All that fucking shit so my mostly ignorant hairless monkey self can ride two tiny pieces of metal around a curved area of frozen water at 50mph. That shit is fucking nuts and it's alot more than edge purchase and turn shape. It's the solitude of click clack skis,its the unbridled adventure of bc skiing, it's flying like a mother fucking bird in park skiing and powder.....dude powder skiing is quit your job and live in the woods type shit. There are no tennis bums or dudes washing dishes and working construction 15hrs a day all summer so they can play hacky sack when winter finally arrives. Powder is floating in a 3d column of water, deep pow is a religion. I wanna see it all, the good, the bad, I want to be as good as I possibly can in all aspects but nobody but particularly PSIA is going to define this experience for me. -

Because marketing is a reflection of the mountain's culture, DV is DV because that's how they sell tickets in that market. You know what your experience is going to be base in part on how they sell themselves. PSIA is not skiing, PSIA is a small portion of skiing. Are they good skiers ? Certainly, but so is the guy in 3pins noodling down Funnel at CB and they might as well be in two totally different sports. Skiing is alot of shit most of which has nothing to do with short radius turns on groomers. Ask the elk peeps what they think of Okemo ? When they profess their love of Okemo get back to me on the advanced intermediate dealio. -

hahaha I like slow lifts, shitty lodges and what not. Platty, MRG, Pow Mow, Suicide Six, etc I love those kind of places. They have boring trails that are straight shots down the fall line, what would be their switchback ? They sell elk as VT in PA which is hilarious but they certainly have the attitude as if they weren't another 1k vert hill in PA. Advanced intermediates is their entire game, trail design certainly but there entire marketing is geared to that class. Hey it's just like VT only closer, our snow is way better not because of our slightly lower temps and the fact that we do 1/4 the numbers because were in bumblefuck Endless Mtn area but because we are so good at grooming. That's horseshit, that's crap only advanced intermediates buy, then they tell there advanced intermediate friends and they all feel like they know the secret spot in PA. Blue Knob is the best in PA, it's not even up for discussion. Bear has far more advanced grooming techniques but noobs don't jerk them off constantly so I guess that doesn't count. I don't have any interest in bumps so maybe that makes a difference......also I'm an opinionated asshole if you haven't already noticed LOL -
Noice ! good kid stoke

I only bring my kid to blue once a year or so but the area near the summit lodge is either 1 person who got lost or 1000000 people in a flying V formation, one goes down and 10000 more go down like dominoes. Scary, but your fuck trophy is a boy so they generally don't care at all.....

Cool area that is often totally overlooked by the PA crowd, Whitegrass is super super cool if your ok with uphill travel.
