Overseeding is doing its job, grass is coming in THICK this year, cross cut it every 3rd day and holds the lines well. First pic is from Tuesday, second is from today. Just wish my neighbor would cut their yard to keep the dandelions out of mine.

Plus no weekend blue mountain lift lines!!!

Got crushed by a storm today/evening. Got lucky here and just had a bunch of branches and some downed fence panels. neighbors missing a trampoline. White circle had a confirmed tornado and destroyed a few houses.

Got a late start but got my potatoes, jalapeños, and cucumbers planted. Small garden to start and see how things go.

The amount of snow on superstar is almost comical

The Bermuda is coming back to life finally, which is a sight for sore eyes after being dormant for 4 months.

Holy shit. That would make me lose interest in leaving my house. Assuming everything is ok now, that has to be a hell of a story, and a lucky “I’m able to tell this” type of story.

s and some marketing

Does this mean blue won’t be a mountain that “sucks” next year?

Nah make it into another shitty cover band single and it may resonate.

Get off the cross, we need the wood for @Benm’s new skis

Only 5 days behind Blue! That’s season pass holder commitment!

So blue takes advantage of early cold and gets open in November, weeks before others, and it doesn’t count as passholder commitment because they closed 2 operating days before montage is likely closing. It’s like saying taking home the fat chick from the bar at 3am with the lights on is better than the 10 that wanted to leave with you an hour earlier because the fat chick gave you more of a commitment. @GrilledSteezeSandwich bar talk.

Where was that commitment the 2.5 weeks of early season where blue was open and they weren’t?

That’s blasphemy if they crack down on tailgating.

I believe the bays are heated in the winter.

I have one a few minutes away, it’s fun to go to with a group of people and just mess around playing the different games they have but man can it get expensive quick.

Remind me again when Jack Frost, montage, camelback, Shawnee, elk, and bear creek opened this season.

Platekill offering half off tickets for passholders of other mountains this weekend, would not be a bad alternative if they do the same going forward after this weekend.

can you ice skate? Being able to ice skate will greatly reduce the frustration with learning skiing as you’ll be familiar with inside and outside edges and the general idea of using those edges to turn. I made the switch back to skiing in 2016 and picked it back up relatively quickly after being off skis for 15 years. Start small and work on technique and control. I did not do this and it showed for the first couple of months. can’t speak on the equipment side of things, I’m sure there’s others on here more well versed in that kind of stuff. My suggestion with that would be to go to a shop and basically “get fit” for the right setup.
