Everybody was getting after it yesterday.

So did I!!!

Tomorrow is gonna be one for the books up in northern Vermont...enjoy!!!

They charge holiday prices cause it's a holiday week and lodging is all about supply and demand...or at least perceived demand. Your best bet might be just driving to Whitehall and getting a room at the ramada for under $100 a night and driving 15 miles to blue. I honestly think that lift ticket prices are expensive. We had that discussion yesterday at Blue and none of us think we would go more than a couple times a year if we had to pay $70 everytime we wanted to ski. I would have loved to go out west this week but airfare and lodging are $$$$ now and in January it's much more reasonable and less crowds. A good day to go is New Year's Day..still holiday rates but it's a particularly uncrowded day and the weather looks stellar this weekend.

By 915 it was poopy

Because it was empty and toast parks at the top now so I took his spot.

Nice report JFDan and Nice pictures Toast!! The drive up took me about 15 extra minutes and all I heard on the radio was accident after accident. The timing of the snow couldn't have been more perfect as they groomed before the snow began to fall at 6am and there was barely anybody at 8am. How is it possible at Blue the true to stroll to the six pack at 7:55am and get first chair on a pow day and for those naysayers who deny today was a pow day you weren't on an immaculate challenge the first three runs. Was a cord carpet with a pow carpet and toast was saying they mowed the grass so that's a triple carpet. First chair was Indiggio, JFDan, Slim and a few randoms one of whom tried to get in front of me skating to the top of challenge. Little did he know I used to spend a lot of time at the fun rink back in the day and even took lessons from the DJ/janitor/ snack bar manager...X-Ing was pure sex..woo solid 3" there..Main Street was really nice first hour and a half..paradise was alright not enough pitch same with lazy. I was a little sad that nightmare-Dreamweaver wasn't open for the fresh but oh well. -Dan, Nastar Glenn, Justo, MBike and Rose were in the house. Apparently late arrivals had to drive through palmerton as the mountain road was blocked for awhile. Around 10am we were in the lot having a beer and was changing over to rain then the people started arriving and the conditions changed from hero to mank. Had another lot beer soaked off my ass then went to the BMDI with -Dan and here in the A 97% of the snow is melted with moderate rain. What a treat getting several runs of freshies.

What a pow morning wooo. Just had BMDI in its -Dan report to come soon.

Made it up in 48 minutes. Snowing moderately and around 30 degrees. Looks like solid snow for a few hours. 1-2" at the base likely way way more at the peak. A shame not much good powder day terrain is open.

I guess from now on I need to start a report thread early so it's not snagged as my threads get lots of views and I don't want my report buried in somebody else's thread. It's snowing and I'm about halfway to blue and the roads are largely untreated.

I'm thinking 2"-4"

Hey All, I'm back from another fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 7:35am after a sausage biscuit, hash brown and apple juice from McDonald's. In the house were Toast, JFDan, Nastar Glenn, Marty, George, slim, Matt edge and the dude. Paradise and lazy mile and upper Main Street were carpets the first few runs. Soft and fast wooo. Then all the Tom Dick Phoengs and Rashids showed up and the runs got busier and pretty darn choppy. Skied until 10am then hungout in the lot drinking hop ranches then went out for five more runs including challenge which has a mini spine that Matt edge showed me and Barneys bumps and Xing had great smooth spring snow. The shiros were good in the heavy spring snow. The mantras earlier not so much. I'll be back tomorrow AM for the fresh snow!!!

The forecast has been bad..yesterday was a 40% chance of rain and today it's 60 degrees out..if it snows Thursday will also cut into crowds. I'll be up first thing tomorrow.

Way to get after it. I have a stomach bug and don't trust that I'll be able to drive to blue without shitting myself. I should be up tomorrow and Thursday. Looks like 1-3 inches of new snow Thursday.

Hey All, I'm back from another session at Blue mountain. I arrived at the lower or at 722am and there were guns blasting all over the place. VTMark, MBike Mike, Toast, Atomic Jeff, Indiggio, Slim and George were all in the house. First civilian 6-pack and my first time on the six pack this season. Challenge had a skiff of new blown snow on the top but lower down was firm and chunky. Paradise and lazy were carpets early on and Main Street was great on top and kind of rough mini cookies bottom half. We did one run to Burma and back and that had pretty nice snow. We then pretty much repeated most of the runs and I ended up skiing a final run down challenge and was out of there before 10am. First day this season I didn't end my session with some beer but tomorrow when it's 50 and sunny will be a good time to chill in the lot and by this weekend it will be back to full on PASR days.

I'm skiing the next 7 mornings at Blue..I hope that earns me street cred with RideDE..this last week was hectic as fuck..closing out the year at work..3 night sessions..Xmas shopping..and spending 48 hours in Arlington VA.

Jack Frost??

Crowds come slow that day. I'm just glad they're open the day after Xmas. They weren't last year and 8am opening is a plus on a weekday.

I haven't even checked the weather..thanks to the reminder..I hope they don't need to use Avalanche bombs or shit could get spicy

Sounds like you're having fun..enjoy!!! Your kids will always remember their first time skiing in Vermont and I think it's cool hearing about people taking their kids on ski trips!!

Anybody gonna be skiing Monday 12/26?? Sure it could get crowded but most of the Tom Dick and Harry's won't come till later in the morning or afternoon. I know a lot of people have off work that day so could be a fun PASR day...

Paradise is a better run than lazy mile...#FACT

My skiers tan is lacking so far this season bahahahahahah funny but true.

Quite the opposite...profits are higher than he expected so we both make more money. Why isn't there a 12/24 thread??? You guys slack when I'm gone.

Way to get after it. I just got blindesided with an hour and a half long business meeting.
