And they also blow extra wet and don't let the snow dry out before grooming.

Just set up a bogus e-mail address somewhere and use it.

First run down Challenge started out ok on the headwall, but after that it was downright scary. Rollers, ridges, ruts and anything else you could think of were the adjectives of the day and it was the way in pretty much every slope. 6 was only running in low gear and quad was packed with racers and the rest of the mountain was full of Jerrys, two of which almost took out @tarponhead at the top of Switchback. Bumps were frozen and big. BM on their FB page said they would be reset, but they lied. However they do have a groomer in the ranks that’s capable of setting good bumps, since they did so on Nightmare, which was pretty silly since they had the trail closed for skiercross race on Dreamweaver, go figure!

Yeah, I guess these things aren't super mass produced like cars or microwaves and so they're probably close to one-offs. Valid points.

Ditto. Have to see what's on fire at work after being off a week.

Where's the facemask?

supper 😀

It was so thick here, I couldn’t see the next door neighbor’s houselights this morning!

Pretty pathetic that a ski slope can’t get their primary people mover running properly. Is a 6-pack really rocket science? Hell, SpaceX can launch and land a booster rocket on a barge in the middle of the Atlantic all on its own, multiple times and Blue can’t get a stupid mechanical chairlift running properly for what 3 weeks now???

Typical Blue...

Looks like they finally got the 6 running!

But they weren't letting anybody load and I saw everyone head to the quad. C'mon Blue.

Take it to the wrinkled clothes thread.

I'll have mine blue rare, please.

Yes, all the above comments are spot on! Gary has offered to help them with their seeding, but has been ignored. It's good they're trying, but need to take feedback as constructive criticism and at least try to make them better. I just think they don't give a fat rat's ass. Chute can be dangerous when left flat, as people just fly down it and into Main Street. They should let it go natural and just blow on it to fill in ruts periodically. Bumps on right side of main get late morning and all afternoon sun and it's also the deepest snow on the trail, since it's naturally pushed over that way, I guess. It's a nice long run of bump when they're there, but Blue wants Barney's there to help eliminate speeders coming down Main interacting with speeders coming down Chute. Logic just seems to escape Blue...

She’s in smoking-hot shape and a strong hugger! From her Insta (not a stalker!)

At least a warning for first offense...

The proper way to seed them is far easier and faster than the dredging they’ve been doing too.

Nah to Yang. Lots of military in both our families, so she being a vet carries a lot of weight, that and she’s pro cannabis legalization.

The problem is/was that none of the other groomers wanted to learn how to seed them when given the opportunity. I understand that none of the groomers really want to be bothered seeding them, but they’re forced to by management just to keep Barney’s alive as a trail.

1/30/20 Time to say goodbye to Loon/Lincoln. Was a fun little mountain for a couple of days of skiing. Decided to try out local eatery for breakfast, Flapjack’s pancake house. Cool place that has a model railroad running throughout up near the ceiling with some interesting menu selections. I opted for The Hooverville which was egg, sausage and cheese in a stack of pancakes. Delicious! Packed the car and departed for Portsmouth because the wife wanted to go there. Arrived at the “hotel”, The Ale House Inn. It’s a converted warehouse that was used by the Portsmouth brewing company back in the day and is now the inn and apartments. After getting settled in, it was time to go off on the Portsmouth brewery tour! First stop we found was Earth Eagle Brewings. A cool brewpub with a New Orleans feel with skulls and Absinthe fountain. Had a couple of good IPAs and hatched a plan for the rest of the evening. The wife’s phone battery was getting low, so we headed back to the car to pick up a battery and ran into the presidentIal candidate Tulsi Gabbard’s supporter. We thought he was just gonna hand us a pamphlet, but instead told us she was gonna be at the Gas Light Pub that night for a town hall meeting. Well, the plans just changed! Headed to the Portsmouth Brewing Co to sample a couple of their beers and then headed to The Franklin Oyster House for happy hour. We slurped down a dozen raw oysters and a couple of beers, both of which were delicious. Hard to beat $1.25 oysters. From there we made our way to the Gas Light Pub for beers and a pizza before the town hall and then made our way up to the top bar. Shortly thereafter, Tulsi entered the room and greeted everyone with an Aloha, but me already a bit lit yelled back, A-Lo-Ha, in true Hawaiian fashion. She got a kick outta that, called me out and thanked me. After her speech, they had a very short Q/A (I had a question I wanted to ask, but time ran out), followed by a meet & pic. That would be my chance! The other day she was snowboarding at Cranmore, so I would use that. We got in line and up came my chance. I shook her hand and told her that I was the greatest skier on the mountain and asked her if she would consider switching to skiing. She replied that she “was willing to try anything once!” After pics we were leaving the bar and then I got stopped by some reporter who said “she liked my energy and would I mind being interviewed”. Visions of @GrilledSteezeSandwich ran through my mind. Needless to say it was an alcohol-fueled energy. I doubt they used any of my answers! I didn’t know what to expect out of Portsmouth, but now I’m glad the wife wanted to go there. It’s a neat little mini-Boston that’s got a lot of history, breweries, pubs, shops. I’d definitely go back for a longer stay. Flapjack’s The Hooterville Finally got to see the peak of Mt.Washington Ale House Inn Just for @GrilledSteezeSandwich Oyster bar Downtown Portsmouth Gas Light Pub Yours truly (God I’m old) with Tulsi Gabbard

Why technologists invented noise-cancelling headphones!!

Been there a couple of times, but never skied it.
