Perfect timing on this delivery. Just enough daylight and snow to head out to the park for a test before the rain 👌🎿

❤️❤️❤️

I was checking Virgil, which I think is one of the closer towns:

Just one year ago we were blessed with experiencing this trail.

I got the same kind. They came last Thursday for me. Way faster than I expected.

What an ugly hoodie. edit: my apologies if you bought it. I love it.

I was considering a drive to Greek Peak. 9-12" predicted there for this storm. We'll see.

@Johnny Law was talking about that on the lift yesterday. Should have made a PASR day and a Blue Knob visit out of it. I think they are "close"?

6 more weeks, according to the fat rodent.

@AtomicSkier thank you.

Nice! I enjoy those cruiser runs. Glad to hear it isn’t crowded. Are you definitely staying for the storm later this week?

J for Jeff!

Pretty interesting article about Ascutney, what it used to be, the collapse, and now what it has become. Seems like a really cool place to have nearby. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/01/travel/ascutney-cross-country.html

Nice way to end! What is the beer pitcher of choice this trip? Last time I was there I don't think they had Pakos anymore..

Well if it an inservice day then they are still working, but students are off.

That explains the oddly crowded Tuesday morning.

Not nearly as bad as it looked if you navigated the lines correctly. Could be worse... or Epic...

Was just about to post. Conditions were fantastic today and Razors was probably the best it has ever been. I also thought Sidewinder was fantastic. I'm not sure I have seen that many people on a Tuesday morning, though. The line was nuts but the longest wait we had was maybe 3-4 minutes. The VIP line looked massive but went by quickly and was a time saver compared to the general public. They had the maintenance cart on the rope for the 6er doing work throughout the morning so I'm glad to hear that it is up and running. Saw three ambulances comes in and out while packing up. Must have been wild out there. It was nice of the sun to come out and when we were getting ready to head out there was a military chopper flyover done to celebrate how good of a month of skiing we had before this upcoming rain storm. Barb sure knows how to celebrate the good conditions!

I can't speak for them, but I looked into this place last year when we got a bunch of snow and I think there was a small parking lot right along the road as well as a school very close by. I'm pretty sure this is part of a county park now, so there are some trails and maybe a bike park?

Love it! Gotta get you to Blue one weekend day this year!

Wonderful to hear about the good snow still being around. I should be up tomorrow +/- 30 minutes of opening.

Those NMDW bumps were scary AF the first time you came into them blind. I forgot all about that shit show.

Finally! Have fun!

I'd be willing to bet they would do just fine because they have training. Any time that I have dealt with Blue's SP for anyone or myself requiring medical attention they have done things incredibly well. We give them shit because they used to blow whistles at us while we skied like assholes, but I think the overwhelming majority of them know what they are doing. Now if the lifts had to evacuate the lift, that would be a different story.

Looks like they are waiting to guide the person that is being downloaded from the rope.
