i hope there are actually pictures from the trip...

sure is! I just got back from a run and its getting a lot more windy out there. With the wind blowing in my face it felt like it was in the single digits but my tracker was reading 14°.

Awesome morning up at Blue today. I left my house around 8:20 and was jamming to some Hey Marseilles, Harlem Shakes, and Beta Radio on the way up. MSY. I pulled in around 9:00 with a temperature of 8° and they were hammering the majority of the trails with snow. Booting up in the lot wasn't as cold as I expected because the sun was beating down on me. The only time I really got cold was while going down the hill because of the wind in my face - other than that, it was pretty damn comfortable. they had HUGE mounds of snow on all the trails that they were blowing on. Central Park was loaded so they can get the big air bag open and a few jumps/rails: plenty of snow under the lifts and in the trees from all of the blowing and previous storms - hopefully some fun stuff will show up after tomorrow's 2-3 inches Sidewinder was getting slammed top to bottom and it looks like after grooming the piles out and shaping them, it will be open within the next week. The pile in the back has got to be 20' high. i stopped on the side of Lazy to check it out: Nightmare/Dreamweaver was closed for blowing and grooming today as well: Surprisingly, there was even enough snow to ski the glades since they have been blowing in there as well. I probably took 4 or 5 runs in there since nobody else was and the snow was awesome: I finally called it quits around 11:45 and they were still blowing on everything. It had warmed up quite a bit to a steamy 13° and the sun was still shining. It looks like I'll have one more morning session left on Saturday and racing Monday night before its off to Utah. Anybody else going to be up Saturday morning? JADIP.

they probably have separate rooms...

yup. and 25$ weekends.

Awesome. I need to get up there this year.

yeah the snow is great up there. monday night was awesome. conditions were great because the snow was so good. i guess you can't really blow crap snow when its 10 degrees.

honestly, do you really need a stepping stone to ski JFBB?

awesome night. glad i came out. hopefully its just improvements from here on out. Congrats to everybody on the team who kicked my ass and for having me join them. Hopefully I'll be improving as the weeks go on.

Blowing a lot of snow up here. These are the temps that they need. It's gonna be cold as hell though. I hate Blue at night.

sure is.

evening for the race.

anybody want to ski there this weekend?

that happens a few times every year. and every year i seem to catch it at some point in the LV.

they are actually holding this tonight? conditions are going to be terrible.

where is everybody that Doug scared off?

2nd I'm in Utah. 9th is JF? 23rd works for me.

That morning ticket is a good deal. That should work well for a PASR day.

i've seen videos on vimeo of that ride. get on that!

that's well worth it. that's a deal that i would be interested in.

great pictures. start posting those in the pic of the day thread!

true.

once people start going out west the reports will become better. people need to post more, myself included. the jfbb guys do a good job of it with photos. awesome. glad to hear you are both enjoying it out there. and again, congrats.

this made me chuckle.

Dates? I have an interest.
