Weekend roll call thread 1/6-1/7

A classic case of Xenia foyer phagousaphilia. I know this because I am a stable genius! -
I was going to say catch the 40 on all lifts but I like your idea better I still want to bring a jar of pickled eggs in my jacket and nonchalantly open the jar and offer them to strangers on the 6-pack

Brew a Lager and ferment in indiggio’s locker. Apparently the blue mountain staff got his lock defrosted so we are good to go! -

Eh, maybe 3-4 bumps then back to sweet chalkie bumpin -
Do they still have a fence around the seeded bumps? That made me laugh

I think it may be dicey at the upper lodge but we have been “lodge-gating” it at the lower lodge with no problems

Just saw this, sorry. Family trip. Wife loves the town of Lake Placid so that’s where we roll from. But yeah, your logistics are solid

Yeah, the 11 people on this site will shut it down

Day 3: redux of day one, just colder, poorer viz and more wind (summit quad getting intermittent wind holds). Agree with comment on not a lot of trees, maybe 4 mapped glades????? Anyhoo, this trip has been a real gem. Finishing up lunch and back out. Insider tip: park at children’s lodge to avoid long parking lot walks. Can park next to lodge (no one goes there except locals) and lodge is always empty

They only make one model?

Thx. Got to give you something to look at at work

We got lucky. Been a few sketch trips in the 10 Years we have been coming here.

Day 2: 5” from yesterday plus ultra light product from guns made for one of our best days at WF. Lower empire was open which was a first for us. Classic New England trail. Gives us access to cloud splitter glades also. Did that as opening run then shot over to summit quad because upper skyward looked amazing. And it was. Usually the first 200 yards is a sketch slide but the whole trail top to bottom were creamy turns. We lapped skyward about 6 x before heading back to wilderness pod. Also a fun seeded bump line at bottom which made the top to bottom worthwhile. Taking a break now. Boys still out there. My legs are feeling it but I may have a few more left in me. Snow tomorrow! 15 F with little wind so really not bad at all Parking lot view: Upper empire: Upper skyward: View of WF from little WF: Bump line at bottom: Upper niagara ((skiers right was $):

Made it to the mountain in 4 1/2 hrs (love Waze). Mountain picked up ~2” today which was a unexpected surprise. 15F but under summit little wind so not so bad. Visibility off of summit was sketch though. Generally all trails Skied awesome. Lapped off top (3.5 blue mountains). Still pumping guns on upper skyward. ROTD was upper wilderness (pic) as it was getting a 21 gun salute and with natural was man/nature pow day. Floaty turns, first of season! Lookout was closed, oh well. Picking up pizza, a ubu ale or three and it’s lights out for me. I’m old [emoji41]
