indiggio

There are a few at Alta like that.

Looks like they fired the guns up on Razors.

Sure doesn't look like they got very much production out of blowing last night. Hopefully tonight's temps will allow for increased quantities. I'm thinking the ice rink may have just been an optical illusion, as now it doesn't look all that bad there and earlier there was what looked like a snowmobile track through it.

Hoping it slides farther off the East coast...

Dunno, they had been blowing on Vista, so I would think that new snow would have covered up any prior rain runoff that fell back on Sunday.

Burst another pipe???

Wed & Thu nights looking good, plus light winds helping to keep the snow on the trails instead of the woods & @toast21602's back yard.

Maybe the wrecked Asian we saw last weekend was back? We were in the super 6 line and 3 Asian boarders were in front of us, one was blazing away on a joint right at the gate and could barely stand up. Of course, they didn't have a clue how to get on the lift, taking a couple of steps out from the gate and tried to sit on the chair as it came around. The liftie told the one guy you can't be smoking that here to which the guy replied "Sorry, I thought I was in Jersey. Isn't it legal here?" They had to stop the lift and get the 3 out of the way since there was a full boat at the line for the chair they tried to sit on. Later, Slim saw the guy chowing down in the lower lodge, said he must've had the munchies big time with the way he was eating.

They're calling for dryer air this week and coupled with the nightly temps and being closed all week, they *should* be able to get at least Paradise, Coming Soon and maybe even upper Main open. Of course, it's Blue, so there's always the chance they blow another pipe somewhere and shit the bed yet again.

Just went down to grab a cup o' joe, looked outside and the lawn is white! Nice!

From what I hear, things have changed since being bought. I've heard they don't put in the snowmaking effort like they used to. The last time we were there a couple years back now, one of the guys we were skiing with decided to poach a run that had the guns going. SP tracked him down and yanked his pass w/out even a warning. Of course, he managed to skirt the readers at the bottom lift and rode the upper lift the rest of the day.

Looking at Main Street cam, it looks like it survived better than I expected. There were some skid marks on Saturday and with how warm it was and then the rain, I thought lower would have some bare spots, but looks like it came through ok.

Ugh! I got stuck on a Federal case a few years back. Luckily it was over in only a few days, but still driving to center city Philly every morning was no fun at all.

Nah, I'll take gummies over alcohol any night for a good night's sleep.

Yup, rode up with an older gentleman last weekend who told me he's a Cameltoe regular but came to Blue because they weren't open. Gary said it was pretty crowded with a lot of knuckleheads out there, he even got taken down by a boarder with luckily no injuries as he saw them coming and had started moving to avoid them.

More like the warm pee monsoon deluge on the order of 2+"! At least the retention ponds will be full...

Looks moist.

Why does that not surprise me? LOL!

We call the security guard Taser Dave. He was ready to take down Harold yesterday in the lift line for ducking the gates because his pass didn't work and Bethlehem Ford guy crew egged to duck the gate. Then Taser Dave made him leave and go get his pass fixed. We heard him screaming in the lot about the drone. Hero snow all day today. Would have been grate in the morning had the sun burned off the fog, but that didn't happen until just after noon. Legs were totally shot by then.

Ha! You can thank me as well, I think. Was coming down Vista and spotted a set of keys in the snow, but couldn't stop quick enough, but stopped below them. I flagged the next guy coming down who stopped just beyond them and picked them up. Guy: "Yours?" Me: "Nope" Guy: "They're for a Honda, guess I should turn them in" Me: "Yup, someone's gonna be a bummin' dude when they go to open their car. They'll be happy someone turned them in" Also watched a couple of guys try to change a flat in the parking lot. Took them almost an hour to figure out how to use a car jack. How to use a car jack should be a mandatory test on the driver's exam.

Definitely not a bad opening day. Upper mountain snow was far better than lower due to the inversion. Midway by 11:30 was showing signs of major thinness as rocks and grass were poking through in the middle. Both sides of Midway bumped up for some early season fun. Right side of Vista outside the grooming berm was the ROTD as only a few daring souls went in there to get the goods. You had to dodge a couple of drainage ditches, but the snow there was worth it. Checked out Coming Soon and it had a fair amount of snow up top. Unfortunately lower Paradise is way too thin to open.

Rolling out the cookie dough right now...

I had been using my original RF tag until last year and had to upgrade. Half the gates would no longer read it.

Always leave em wanting more...

Cool! I didn't look in the other thread before posting here.
