  1. This is ultra relaxing to watch.
  2. Yeah like if all three lifts are stopped at once. I will give Blue props..it’s extremely rare for them to close lifts due to wind while more northern and western resorts it can be an issue. They have had icing issues before.
  3. Upper main could have been in a brochure picture. Barney’s bumps had the best and longest lasting cord on the mountain with the exception of some of the Western territory off the OG west summit like Upper Widowmaker, upper come around… While taking connector one of @saltyantfavorite runs, I saw a rare sight, two skiers dancing down upper upper main street. My guess is they took the vista chair unless they hiked in off the Appalachian trail after a night of boondocking in a short bus. The amount of people out earlier seemed bad but it was mainly just cause the quad was the only lift running. It was a very social vibe..singles and doubles were doing a really good job naturally pairing up. On 22 this morning there was a bad accident on 15th street and all red on the maps..so I took 309 to walbert and I knew walbert would be backed up to springhouse so dipped one block over to winchester and 4 cars at the light at cedar crest by Applebys vs 50 cars on walbert then cruises past my work saw that delivery guy was doing his thing cruised by Whitehall high school..took 50 minutes, the length of a psychologists appointment.
  4. Do you think the beverage truck will accept Blue bucks? I think I have $50 of them somewhere in the cloud.
  5. Anybody nervous how crowded the trails will be when all three high speed lifts are running and five major trails closed and another one closed for the race team? We will see this weekend..gonna be interesting. The valley base village is gonna be hopping…I can’t wait.
  6. I’m sure a lot of cancellations this weekend at their hotel.
  7. Or lazy and west not east.
  8. You’ll also be able to access upper upper Main Street and upper upper switchback
  9. Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 835am and it was partly sunny and in the low 30s. None of the snowmaking cannons were on but there was scattered snowmaking overnight. In the house were Johnny Law, Atomic Jeff, Dirtwolf and a couple hundred boomers and lots of snowboarders. At the 9am opening bell there were a solid 75-100 people at the Quad. First run down razors and it was a wall to wall smooth corduroy carpet. We did a repeat of razors then onto Main Street which was a wall to wall carpet and even the skeet spot skied well. I repeated Main Street 5 more times then peaced out around 1020am. All in all it was excellent snow but already a half full quad corral when I left with people spilling in. I don’t blame them as tomorrow it’s supposed to be warm and rainy. I’ll either be back Friday or Saturday.
  10. Gosh and I wasn’t even that stoned when I post the report cause I had a family coming in at noon.
  11. Oh and sorry I meant four seconds of pleasure on X-ing. Freefall and coming soon are still closed as is Stalins ditch.
  12. That’s like a song. I don’t even know if I have to do a roll call thread this week..everybody is gonna be there. Maybe there’ll even be balloons. I can bring a scissor from work if they forget the scissor for the ribbon. Just remind me to remove it from my jacket pocket before I go through TSA.
  13. Utah is really going off.
  14. I’m hitting Widowmaker from the peak or maybe x-ing..lazy to the falls..maybe the whole lazy mile woo..I almost took vista chair earlier to get a peak of the top terminal. @saltyant this is getting good.
  15. Six spots will be raffled off for first chair which will be at 10am. In order to enter for a spot you have to donate $10 to a veterans fund that I believe blue is matching and winners also get a free lift ticket and even season pass holder wins it’s an extra buddy pass. I might enter Matt Edge and Pops have told me more than $10 worth of stories from when they were in the service. Edge was in the Navy so I have that in common with him since I was once a semen.
  16. I checked my magic 8 ball instead.
  17. Salty they might even bring in some local celebrities for the ribbon cutting. Maybe we’ll even take shots of champagne @ColoradoHigh this is fantastic. Now time to check the forecast see if they’ll be able to get switchback open for the weekend.
  18. It’s a sticky situation.
  19. Prices this weekend…maybe when and if they get more terrain open they can charge $140…do I hear $150…going once going twice sold to the Asian family in the Range Rover with NY license plates.
  20. Opening at 10am. They’re also raffling off lift tickets.
  21. Oh damn on Coming soon..there was a rope across it the whole time I was there.
  22. You’re welcome and anytime. I try to do my best to monitor the stats as the self appointed unofficial stats manager. Now some like BenM are a lost cause with the stats.
  23. Hey All, I’m back from another fun session at Blue mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830am and it was in the mid 30s under overcast sky’s with light winds. In the house were C1, Root, Tele-Matt, Denise, Rodney and all the boomers. First run on paradise was a nice cord carpet but a little slow as fresh man made was blended into the surface. Second run on Razors was an 8..super smooth and edgable but regressed to a 6.5 a few runs later as a lot of the boilerplate below was exposed and not as smooth. Main Street was slow and smooth on the upper section and fast and choppy on the lower part and homestretch was deep deep sugar almost from the start. The best snow on the mountain was on coming soon as it was a carpet after 10am…four seconds of pleasure. Just the quad running and nearly every chair had people on it. While it wasn’t empty, it wasn’t busy either. All in all a fun session. JADIP
  24. The guns are off. Should make for more consistent conditions but I wanted to see the cannons firing away
