Won't be easy. Falcons are a great team, but i sure as hell hope you're right!

I don't blame you. Not felling it either today. Last night was fun though.

In a few weeks.

Just got home from a sweet evening session. Foggy but visibility wasn't too terrible. It kept the crowds away. Snow was great. Straight spring skiing. Good for getting the legs ready for UT. NMDW was it's usual goodness complete with bumps down the left side after the first turn. We found ourselves spending a lot of time there. Challenge was decent as was switchback, sidewinder etc. Saw an epic yard sale on challenge. Poor guy lost his board on the upper part of the headwall up top. The board bee-lined down the middle of the trail to the bottom of the mountain. He was sliding right behind it and ended up losing his boots, gloves etc along the way. He was ok. Just in over his head on the mighty challenge. Anyway a ton of fun this evening at Blue to the MT.

He asked me if I knew you.

I don't know who he is on PASR but the dude could rip.

Until then...I'm with you in spirit. PS shout out to Matt who I met on the lift last week and took a few runs with. Not sure if he posts but is a fan of PASR

Tomorrow evening with my kid. Sunday at some point between noon and the AFC championship game.

Well any chance of me visiting the 49er just went out the window.

It's funny I didn't even think to go to Sidewinder until I saw your post on the lift. I always just avoid it assuming that it's covered in terrain park features. It definitely was ROTD. So rare to ski it as a straight trail.

Haven't skied sidewinder yet. Will do now. Too busy drooling over NMDW

It was earlier. People are leaving now thankfully. Last 2 lift rides were solo.

Good snow. Crowds dissipating. Fun day.

Call Blue. See what they can do.

Well I had one day at BB. I figure 10 days at Blue. $500 for the pass breaks out to $50. Isn't that the magic number?

Same. Also yesterday was my 11th day overall. Three more days than all of last season!

I'm not opposed to a faux village. Once it's built doesn't it then become real? A faux village to me are the ceramic houses that I put under the tree at Christmas with the tiny little people and cars. The one's that my kids like to break.

They have Kickapoo which is fun but Blue has a few of these. Mohawk and Iroquois are nice steep runs, but nothing crazier than the challenge and razors headwalls. edit...sorry TNT. didn't mean to threadjack with Blue stuff. haha

Respectfully disagree with the the variety thing. Blue has everything that Elk has and then some. Blue even has marked glades whereas elk threatens to take your pass if you're caught in the woods (gasp). Elk definitely has less in the way of crowds and usually better snow. For trails though Elks cool but I gotta give it to Blue there.

Just got back. Arrived around 7:45. I went later hoping for light crowds but found the exact opposite. The place was insane. Lots of human slalom, riding the quad to avoid the lines on the 6 pack etc. Snow was what pretty decent for an extremely busy MLK Sunday evening though. Scraped off in the center of the trails, nice loose snow on the sides. No sugar. NMDW was really nice. Honestly I love that love that trail. Switchback was fun as always but extremely slick (and dark). Really really wanted to ski Razors but it was roped off and marked as "not open to the general public" although the non-general public was nowhere to be found. So that was a tad frustrating. Challenge was slick, divits etc. When the quad closed at 9, the 6 pack lines went 20 or 30 people deep...at 9 freaking pm. Wanted a another run or 2 but I didn't want to wait in the lines...again at 9 freaking pm. So I called it a night. In the words of Kendrick Lamar, I sound mad but I ain't stressin' cause I had a fun evening, just hate crowds but it's to be expected this weekend I guess.

That place is so on my list. Keep the CB pics coming Barb.

Nice work Mike. That raised my stoke levels bigly.

I'm out tomorrow. Monday morning for sure. Sunday at some point. I gots a lot happening this weekend.
