It can't tell you how badly it sucks driving past blue on the way to work every morning and seeing it covered in snow knowing that it's all going to waste.

I came to the sad realization today that I may be finished. Unless I can swing something tomorrow... Couldn't get over to BB at all this week. I wanted to hit up the skillz but I'm so freaking busy that I can't even make it up the road to big Boulder let alone upstate NY. We'll see. I want at least one more day.

No alien pass at CB? Thinking Boulder one night this week and CB next weekend possibly.

They had to have today. Shit I dropped 12 bucks on a cheeseburger. 6 minutes left in the season and every 6 pack is full. Managed one last run on Switchback, razors, and NMDW. Tear ?

With 45 minutes left in the season there are still more people here than most other resorts in a busy day.

They're actually fairly nice and as an added bonus it smells like plastic inside.

Aren't they still putting in the waterpark and doing some shit to the lodge?

I honestly think they're closing to get started on building projects. Twas a great season. I'll be back today with the kids. Camelback next weekend?

I hope you all have a great time. I'll be there in spirit. I'll actually be at blue but on the bunny slopes with my 5 year old. Been promising her that I would take her skiing and every time I try something comes up. Anywho we'll stop by and say hello if you all aren't too crazy. Lol.

I like how the guy yells "Athletic stance" lol... Amazing skiers? I think so!

Really sucks to hear no one was there. Probably 50 to 75 here at blue still... Crazy how popular this hill is.

Still a good amount of people here.

Ok I take back what I said about the snow. NMDW is a hockey rink. The snow on the side of the trail reminds me of the snoopy snow cone maker. That thing was the shit back in the day.

Pulling up the rear with a Sunday night sesh despite stopping at taco bell for dinner. So far the need to blow up blue Mountain's lower lodge rest room (middle stall) has proven itself elusive... Thankfully.. Anyway snow is decent. Fast sugar. I'm liking it!

They're open till 10 tonight right?

From this morning

Dodge city is the reason why blue will be open until mid April. Oh and they'll even accept your Montage pass now that they closed (with a ton of snow).

Great morning. NMDW and surprisingly sleepy hollow glade were runs of the day. The snow and the mountain / tree tops covered in snow gave today a mid winter feel.

Sounds like blue may have actually had better conditions today. SMH. Blue was sweet this morning.

tomorrow evening. Probably Saturday morning.

Dang.

When I re-upped my pass the other night the lady told me daily until the 29th, then possibly weekends after that. Now back to your regularly scheduled Taylor Swift thread.

Nice! Unfortunately I missed it today. Maybe a whirlybird clinic next weekend?

Meh. I really didn't care about it from a personal standpoint. It was my first season teaching and I wanted to learn how to teach people to ski, not be taught myself. It was that way for the few seasons that I instructed. Training was never my thing. Not because I'm so vein in thinking that I'm that great of a skier. More so because I wanted to just ski and have fun... Not work on wedge christies.

Quick anecdote... I remember during one training session we were required to do "whirlybirds".. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure how that is supposed to make me a better skier. The only thing it made me was a douche. I want to ski with the level 3s at snowbird and have them show me how to ski the Cirque like a baller.
