  1. Some steeper pitches here and there. Definitely thin cover in places. Don't see this place surviving too long after this week. Good terrain and they definitely make the most out of almost 1100 vert. Just funny to me how 40 something trails can be so spread out. So much mountain that is untouched in between. Riding granite now as I don't feel like getting on the cabriolet. Heading to South and bear next
  2. Have the day off today, wanted to ski but I felt like going someplace different / new. Caveat I wasn't feeling driving 3+ hours. So 104 minutes later here I am riding the cabriolet lift at Mountain Creek. First time here and New Jersey marks the 9th different state that I've skied in. My first impressions....it's pretty spread out. And the drive was mostly back roads which I was surprised by, the cabriolet is pointless and stupid and the base music is trash. Conditions are standard spring mashed potatoes. Definitely fun. Only skied great northern so far so more to come as I explore the place. Negatives aside so far a beautiful spring skiing day at a new place!
  3. Sounds like a repeat of yesterday. Unfortunately I overslept. Woke up at 8:45 which is unheard of.
  4. Just got back. Beautiful weather and lots of sun. Snow conditions went from hero to zero really fast however. First run on razors was $$. The next run on side was silky smooth, maybe the best side run all season for me. Shortly after however the sugar harvest was in full effect. Thin spots starting to rear their ugly head too, one on side and another on switch. That said fun day
  5. I got you @GrilledSteezeSandwich Hey all…who’s gonna touch the sky at blue mountain this weekend. Bring your sunblock because both Saturday and Sunday look pretty sunny. A little birdie told me that they made snow to freshen things up and conditions have been pretty nice this week so it seems like we may have a few nice days in store this weekend. Get your winter like days in now because the temperatures will rise like the phoenix next week. Speaking of birds perhaps Blue’s resident bald eagles will be out enjoying the sun. I’ll definitely be there Saturday. Sunday is tbd and Monday I’m skiing somewhere (maybe blue maybe somewhere else…not sure yet).
  6. A foot over the last 3 days and 21 inches forecasted over the next 2 days. If MLB spring training didn’t turn Arizona into an absolute shitshow I’d probably be there.
  7. Right. Which sorta has me thinking that base plus is gone. From what I can see (as of now) it appears that if you want JH or Aspen you need the full.
  8. You have no choice to think about next year with all of the early pass stuff. Likely passing on icon. Especially if there's no base plus. If I go to Jackson I'll look for tix direct from them
  9. Correct but will the base plus be an option? All I see them advertising for 25/26 on the site (unless I’m missing something) is the regular, the base and 4 pack.
  10. Is the base plus icon pass gone?
  11. I may take off Monday and go someplace...before the 60s and 70s hit
  12. Next week is indeed the week for RAW sessions. Could be pretty magical especially with the later sunset. Idk...I saw that 70 something and it definitely freaked me out
  13. Oh shit...too warm too fast
  14. I believe she needs a separate account with her own email address.Then you would just transfer it from your account to her account. From there she should be able to redeem it. That said that process was glitchy up until like January. Not sure if they fixed it or not
  15. For $250 I would have done that too then
  16. You drove from steamboat back to Denver?
  17. If that’s the case I’m sorry dude. I know that feeling and it sucks but glass half full you had a hell of a trip in JH and lots of good days at blue. Hopefully however that’s not the case and you got some skiing left this season.
  18. Heal up quick. I’ll see you next weekend
  19. Hey all. I'm back from from another fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain. Arrived around 7:20 to guns blasting on the lower mountain. I managed to get first civilian chair and skied challenge while most of the others skied p diz. Conditions overall were decent. Not great but definitely not terrible. A bit slow as lots of the mountain came with a skif of manmade on top. Cold but the sun felt nice today. The parking lot today featured not one but two bald eagles at one point flying next to each other. Nice blue bird morning.
  20. Worst session of the season. Skied maybe 5 runs.
  21. Here now. Came expecting a spring night sunset sesh on uncrowded slopes. Arrived to flash backs of elementary school skate night at the roller palace on Roosevelt boulevard. Not sure what I was thinking. Conditions are probably a 3.8. sugar bumps. At least there was the sunset.
  22. Saturday we have a VB tournament. I’ll probably ski tomorrow RAW and Sunday.
  23. Typo on my part. I meant to say "get in the waitlist" (not got). I personally wouldn't get one.
  24. If you do it, do it fast because they seemingly sell out quickly. Got on the waitlist now.
