  1. 12-packs bottles are not allowed on the quad. Apparently... But my jacket can fit 8 bottles, so there's that
  2. ❄️❄️❄️❄️ thoughts for his trip
  3. Corporate speak, sorry. You are tasked with an assignment and you provide what was expected from you.
  4. If you got a deliverable with a deadline it don't matter. Life is not fair. We all know it. Sorry Ridge
  5. 2nd pic???? What about the 3rd pic? [emoji3]
  6. Not mad. Just stated a fact. It is weird though, I'm pretty much left of center politically and for resource wise I'm inclusive of all interests. Got no beef with single plankers for sure. If You folks got passion I want to hang with ya. But for some reason I really dig MRG and Alta. Old school feel which I love. MRG in particular does not have the funds to roll like Stowe so I feel bad when they struggle. Folks there take it in stride though. Hope you are arranging for a day of Tuesday! Go get em!
  7. Yeah whatever. You realize the practice hill at MRG is steeper than anything at blue? Oh wait, yeah you wouldn't know that...
  8. Last year's blizzard at blue indiggio's and my subbies were absolutely buried. We barely shoveled, just drove out. Our friend in the suburban had to be pushed out however. I done a few rider-of-the-storm rides over the years. A few all the way up to Vt. Love my outback (with paddle shifters). I also roll with snow tires
  9. Looks that way... http://madriverglenweather.blogspot.com/2017/03/some-extreme-march-chill-this-weekend.html?m=1
  10. Thanks. More for #2 actually because he does not get much ski time in. May change next winter when I get him a car. Not holding out for great conditions but that's ok
  11. Leaving this Sunday with #2 for a few days. Jay/Burke and a mountain to be named later.
  12. Place filled up for Sunday afternoon special. Lotta peeps on rentals. Hope it may help Barb decide to go a little longer
  13. Sorry bro. I feel what I feel. Tomorrow will be better
  14. I love blue but today was real hard. Good conditions but kinda depressing. Parking lot lunch rocked though. Tomorrow should be better psych-wise. Just need a day or two to recalibrate
  15. Cannibalize that shit! Sprinkle some of that tubing hill all over
  16. Ok. It's official, I can't bitch how I never get "good" conditions when I head out west. Great trip. Looks like another reload tonight. Local talent is sick. Loved watching it
  17. Serious mind expansion on the hill today. Peruvian bar off the hook with locals again. I'm in fuckin heaven. I got a serious thing for old school places. This is very high on my to-do list, believe me.
  18. It's snowing and it's unbelievable. Endless powder bounces. Wildcat is DEEP. Anything off off high traverse is $. Trees top to bottom under Collins is [emoji7]. Catherine's and Devils Castle is closed today. Will be first place I head to tomorrow AM
  19. Hi, staying at Peruvian at Alta for a quick 3-Ski-day trip. Planned this trip a month ago after deal on airline tics. Indiggio is nearby and may join me tomorrow or Tuesday weather permitting. Lcc picked up 53" from the recent wed-fri storm and base is ~145"; twice as much as last time here. Skied solo in AM and in PM skied with friend and Alta guide JW who has been guiding at Alta for >20 years. Took me over cliff bands I would have never gone near only to pop out between two trees into relatively untracked pow (no place in North America gets tracked out faster). I followed him down chutes in Catherine's that were crazy steep but with all snow only mildly puckering. Got another storm coming in tonight. Maybe meh but on this base would be awesome. Maybe more, a lot more cause all recent storms over performed. Random pics, I pretty much sucked at taking pics today. Gunsight, superior and Peruvian bar off the hook
  20. I'd read it but don't use big words and it got to be in 18 pt font or bigger

  22. Policy is wrong. Brown bagging your lunch for the entire family is a ski tradition. Try pulling that in Vt (especially northern Vt) and they would revolt. That's how I fed my boys from middle school until they left for college. That said, I feel and have experienced all the pain points you folks mentioned. I remember setting up my boys lunch in the old pass holder room up top at a 6 person table with one guy working on his computer cause no open tables open. He remarked we should not eat there because if we spilled a drink his computer could get ruined. I remarked we are eating, do our best not to trash his computer and we are willing to take our chances. Guy was not happy but I had a crew to feed! Blue needs to enact a policy for no camping out on tables( with gear coolers etc), that is reasonable. But those nazi'ed up security guards? Really?????? That was a insulting joke. Oh yeah, no inside food allowed in the parking lot...
