Super-G Racer (6/10)

  1. Are there renewal discounts for BM? Didn't find anything on their website...
  2. Unless it rattles under your skis, which is what usually happens. But perhaps not at CB?
  3. None of it makes sense though. Snowmaking quitting, water shortage, pass issues. Aren't these mountains under the same management?? And first tracks are overrated. It's all frozen anyway.
  4. Yeah, Blue definitely rocks this year, esp. the last few weeks with the cold weather and with 3 expresses running in the middle of the week. WJW. I now have these occasional attacks of nostalgia remembering how there would be a mile long line in front of the only express, with the second one scheduled to open only in an hour 'cause there's no staff. Or how I'd go down from Summit lodge at 9am only to find that they're not loading any lifts yet. Those good old times...
  5. Hey, @saltyant, heard a ridiculous thing on the lifts yesterday about CB still being like 33% open and lots of season pass holders holding an eternal gripe against it and swearing to never ever... Something related to lack of water?? Checked the maps, and it ain't true at all. Maybe not 100% open, but definitely way more than 33%. How was your experience this year?

    All they'll have next week is NMDW, Razors and Burma. Lazy looks good in the middle so far, but I doubt the bottom part will survive.

    Even Mountain Creek is open this and next midweek. Wow. What the hell is BM saving its snow for, if there's no way to be on it?

    WTF!
  9. Damn... Just why?? Tomorrow it rains only in the morning, and on Wednesday in the afternoon. Wednesday morning would be great, and they'd have plenty of time to groom before it.
  10. I was finding it pretty good before, it was in fact one of my favorite trails. But smth is odd about it this season indeed.
  11. It was pretty good today, albeit a little crowded. An event with racers continuously going up and down the Quad side didn't help. Somewhat surprising is how well the mountain is holding up, especially after the yesterday's report of bare spots - no bare spots today, not even brown spots on Sidewinder, there wasn't even a hint of spring, so white and cold it was. Still I think that earlier this week conditions were better, softer and more pleasant to carve. Today most of the morning it was riding on a frozen base, rattling on small hard bumps and holes left from wet grooming, and was there even a field of blue ice at the very bottom of Paradise? Lazy was clearly the worst with its minefield closer to the sharp right turn, and after trying all the trails several times I eventually settled on Widowmaker->Midway->Main being the best route down. Not crowded, not frozen, nice snow, less people to get back on the lift.
  12. Wow, @theprogram4 says "worst conditions of the year", DiMe talks about beautiful smooth packed man made powder. I figure, it's worth coming over tomorrow and checking the mystery out.
  13. What was bad today, aside from the wind?
