What did you have for lunch?

Yesterday was the fifth bluebird ski day in a row..it was a bit like groundhogs day..freezing cold down low, mild on the upper mountain. A lot of groomers off the sublette and thunder lifts and even a groomed Slalom run. Moderate weekend crowds but no real liftlines. Last night we had some trouble finding supper. First the brewery had a 20-25 minute wait for a table and I didn’t want to wait that long so went to Pizzeria Caldera which was closed then restaurant by the cowboy bar was closed and snake river grill closed. We ended up getting a table at Gather which was very good and we chatted with the couple from Mississippi who was at the next table who just wrapped up a conference and serious wining and dining at the Four seasons. This morning we had a little more moxie with snow falling. My walk to the bagel place was downright balmy as it was almost 20 degrees vs -10 and below previous days. We left for the hill at 7:55am and parked right in front in the village lot and were second and third people in the singles line of the gondola. Skied Ampitheater to thunder which had like an inch of new pow wow..Toast would have called it 2”..to the Thunder lift and wow was it windy at the top of Thunder. Down grand which was treacherous..hard to ski and barely any fresh at all..mostly frozen cord. Sublette and the Tram were closed. The cat track back to thunder had bad visibility. Up thunder again and took second entrance into Amphitheater via Jerry’s way which had some of the deepest new snow..maybe 2-3” perd so Toast and Jack Frost would have called it 4-5”..pleasant conditions and back to the Thunder lift for a third ride up and a few chairs behind us they stopped loading the Thunder lift. The same run again and then across to the Casper lift which had a moderate liftline and this was the first day Casper was running this trip. Got some stash park freshies and up casper again for a second round of stash park freshies then up Teton lift which had pretty bad snow up there just very skied off with all the traffic. I do think this new snow will groom out well and the winds should deposit the new snow to places like 10 sleep bowl and below the expert chutes. While early in the trip lacked new snow, it’s easy to take for granted perfect visibility..today’s visibility meant more turns in areas I usually let the skis run so was a good workout. Nice lunch at the four seasons and Atomic Jeff enjoyed a couple of $27 Old Fashioned cocktails. I wasn’t up for drinking so had Diet stoke, chili and a philly wagyu sang. Today was alright, wasn’t the best, wasn’t the worst but we lucked out getting a bunch of laps in before lifts started going down.

Malvern is fantastic.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease. I can’t wait till I have Fuck you money and can start firing asshole customers.

It’s dumping wow

On weekday mornings we have no choice.

Yup the quad at Blue is low key Suss

Is that a dead animal in your car?

That’s rude to throw shade at the BMSP. From what I heard from concussion ted, it’s harder to become a ski patroller than get a masters degree.

You should use it to go to CB with JFDan

It’s snowing on the mountain.

In college I picked up hitchhikers a few times in the town of Stowe and given them a ride to the mountain. I’ve also hitch hiked in Colorado and Montana

Oh you’re staying pretty far from the mountain. Just bring chains for the sonic if the roads get nuts.

There might be a couple inches of new snow for us tomorrow. Here’s a couple night time shots from around town

Correct.

When do you leave?

I think that jacket is even older than my ski helmet. Is that from when you used to play football at Polk high school with Al Buddy lol

Wow

Assholes. @ridgewould tell you to call the airline and complain and maybe you’ll get a free cupcake

A shame there was no toast.

He had to get home in time for the breakfast sausage Sunday.

No

That looks legit. How long was the traverse?

Post some updates from Hawaii..

This song hits hard...Matt Edge is your dad
