I thought I saw a post that learning center was going to be closed for snowmaking today? Edit: Found it, Summit is going to be closed tonight for snowmaking.

Already has! You should have seen the CF they made in the lower payed lot the other day. People were parking in random places until Tazer Dave got involved. Guess they have to take your keys so they can shuffle cars??

Why they don't try to open Widowmaker early for BMR is a mystery...

It's Blue Mountain, what don't you get?

If only work wasn't in the way...

You should have buzzed by Greek Peak while you were in the neighborhood.

Yikes! I'm forever barefoot. I don't know what I'd do if I had to wear something all the time, even if it were my Crocs.

Makes for much better snow since it has a chance to drain and dry out, but it's highly doubtful Blue will ever do that.

Oh yeah, Ski Patrol was handing out candy in the valley area today, probably hoping to make some amends from last weekend's debacle. Scored a delightful Peppermint Patty!

Sums up today! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C12DMXTszeo/?igsh=MWRhZDI2ZXlzaGhzcQ==

Total 100% opposite yesterday's hero snow. Paradise ridge was ROTD for us, just kept lapping that as Main Street was a disaster of marbles, cookies and just plain crap. Lazy wasn't too bad, both sides were fun until the very bottom which just a shit-ton pile of sugar and Jerries trying to figure out how to deal with the piles. About 1, the front rolled through bringing a disappointing squall, but high winds and drastic temperature drop. Went back out for a couple more runs, but Connector was a sea of noobs not knowing how to do anything and that's when we called it. Oh yeah, saw a car roll in with their roof box wide open with shit hanging out the back. They definitely were not happy campers when they got out of the car to find half their stuff gone.

+++ VIBES ++++ To all those dealing with foot issues.

Try AirBnB or Vrbo?

I know... 😉

Blue should have opened up widowmaker at the beginning and given that to BMR the entire time instead of pissing on Raisins that one time, only to have it end up in the retention pond.

How do Cameltoe's VIP lines compare?

I think he's talking about BMR, not lessons. I don't think anyone has an issue with lessons cutting lines, that simply makes sense with the outrageous amount of money lessons cost. BMR, on the other hand, should not be allowed to cut lines.

Very good to see Blue making an effort! Complaining does seem to help. Hopefully they'll implement something in the new 6 for grouping, if it's seriously crowded.

That's because they groom immediately after blowing, there's no time for the "snow" to dry out. Look at how good the snow was on Coming Soon when it first opened and Raisins (from what I was told), since the snow had time to sit.

Not sure if the two were related, but makes sense. Went out for coffee early and did the loop where power lines usually are down, nothing. Then on another street saw a PPL truck stopped on the side of the road. Later the Astound truck was a pedestal at the end of the cul-de-sac. When I called them, they wanted to roll a truck at my charge, wrong! Agent! Agent! Operator!

Lost 12:51am, restored 10:00am... Lost Astound for a while too, but they got it back up 10:30am. Ash came down in the back, but instead of just breaking off top limbs, the whole thing uprooted. Luckily it wasn't a very tall one and missed hitting anything. Heard the crash early this morning.

It could, if they'd implement a reservation system for Ikon holders, only allowing so many.

Too bad they don't seem to know how to use it... (Lower Main, Upper Paradise, etc.)

Happened before, unfortunately...

Yeah, it's not like they can't write anything down in a run book or something. Snow Day Preparations: 1. Get lift crew in early 2. Get maintenance crew in early/stay late 3. Fire up ALL lifts early 4. Review lift gating procedures ...
