  1. Did you have a talk with your colon explaining what’s it’s about to experience? I’m impressed . First salad pic I ever seen you post [emoji122][emoji122]
  2. Did the pilot really say “bitches”? Because that’s bad ass.
  3. Does it come with a St Bernard at the ready to revive?
  4. I’ll be there to inspect the Indiggio bumps on Saturday. Then inspect them some more Sunday.
  5. Still no salad pics and jealous as fuk! Enjoy!
  6. Kobe and daughter RIP
  7. Eat a salad. Jelly
  8. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Indeed he is
  9. If blue can maintain some type of bump line we will work to make them skiable. I think then most will stay as there is no love for CB among the bumpers If blue completely shits to bed on this then yeah, some (most?) folks gonna walk. Believe me - conversations are happening.
  10. Because the pic was taken at 3AM when they were seeded
  11. Asking for a friend?[emoji38]
  12. No actually got soft and good. Bumps where $$ by late morning
  13. Cliffed out at blue [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]
  14. Drive Boston
  15. Yup. No post-tinnies so why not and got 1st row 20’ from stairs. Unloading was devine
  16. Blue seeded the learning hill Not crowded, no line on quad. Barney’s is like [emoji3063]
  17. Technically you can’t get jet lag if you remain within the same time zone. But who knows, may be one of his superpowers
  18. Hillcrest lodge (stupid name - it’s at the bottom of a hill) is on the K access rd and it’s cheap too. Problem is it’s cheap so if hanky panky going on down the hall you hear it. My go-to, especially for solo travel is Turn of River Lodge (more on this later). Not on k access rd but 1 m from sky ship Gondi on Rt 4. Not my fav starting point as it takes 20 min to ski after loading though. My pro tip is park at corner of lot trail access next to snowdon bubble chair. Super short and easy access and car is right there for lunch and tinnies. Other convenient start is bear but car is a bit farther away. If staying at ToR two great breakfast spots, First is about 0.2m down Rt 4 toward k access rd on your right. Dream makers bakery. A little $$ for breakfast Sammy (~$8) but crazy good farm-to-table Vt goodness. Problem is their midweek hrs are no good. The second option is Water wheel trading post. Mom/pop operation and will have half dozen local pick up trucks parked in front scoring breakfast. Cheap homemade breakfast sammy’s and is about 0.8m on left Rt 4 heading toward k access rd from ToR. Last suggestion is sun up bakery on k access rd on right just before hitting rams head area. ToR is a throwback. Got a huge common area with huge fireplace, tv (folks play jeopardy every night - I suck at it but blame it on the boxed wine) and access to full kitchen so that’s where I ate dinner almost every night. Lot of regulars there (ski instructors, mountain ambassadors patrollers) but always welcoming. Last trip I went with 2 other guys who never been there and they loved it. Bunks downstairs is $40/night (separate woman’s and men’s dorms). Private rooms available upstairs with shared or private baths. Another ski option to consider is Pico if they got most of their terrain open. Cheaper than K and worth a day if you’re in the mood. Good luck
  19. 2008/2009 was my first season at blue and they had twice day grooming
  20. Getting tired of blue taking 4 years to open one new single trail. Does Barb really care about the skiing? Huntah got sold and wham bam thank you mam they got a whole new ski area. Your welcome to tell me to bite it if new owners get rid of the VIP line though...
  21. TAlk to Ms Mute instead of posting to us assholes during dinner [emoji38].
  22. Day 6 First civilian chair at snowdon. Pure carpet. Best groomer conditions of the trip. Traversed out to bear and back. Just knocked it off and heading home now. k’s ops folks are amazing. Snows coming because I’m leaving of course. Will be grate shape for MLK weekend
  23. Day 5: 9 o’clock start. No visibility. K did a great job recovering. Conditions were hard pack to soft on trails where snowmaking happened yesterday. No bumps or trees though. Mountain ambassador said K went from 130+ trails to ~75 from this last thaw/rain. Ouch! Bear mountain skied best but notable call outs were East falls and mouse trap.was a fun day but beginning to feel like Charlie Brown sitting out in the pumpkin patch waiting for the great pumpkin to return. Come on winter! Snowdon 6 opening bell. It’s there somewhere... Winter(ish) returns This would pair so well with my crocs:
  24. Fixed it
