PS as far as the glades, make sure you follow the very thin line to see where they are haha

 

Looks like the end part of Connector is called "Pioneer Pass"

[Switchsideskier.]

still blurry...I can't read the trail names..what if I get lost

 

Ya Robert may got lost! haha

[AngryHugo]

he'd get lost in a phone booth

Pioneer pass is gonna be my secret powder stash..don't tell anyone..

 

Funny Blue has cut 3 trails since I started skiing there...Razors, Paradise and Nightmare-Dreamweaver...and went from like 16 runs to like 35..marketing at it's finest

 

HAHA SO TRUE!! I remember when I thought it was rediculous with upper and lower switchback, thats only one trail now...but Upper and lower main street? Pioneer Pass, I'm suprised they didn't re-name the bottom part of Lazy Lower Lazy Yet

 

 

Somebody PM R2D2..I miss him

 

he'd get lost in a phone booth

 

HAHAHAHAH Where is Robert2?

that pioneer pass/easy out/vista thing going on is confusing as hell. like, what is pioneer pass? just the end part of connector/strawberry short cut? i cant even tell. looks like nothing

 

and the glades, big LOL on that. the blue baumer glade is where everyone cuts in anyway to hit lazy mile. mad rocks and shit yo. with a lot of thinning out i guess it could be fun, at the end theres a huge water runoff too that dips like a mofo, lil sketch. well see.

sleepy hollow glade has potential. i was hoping for some more legit spots but whatever. both glades are like sub 500 feet runs.

why not put glades underneath where it says "nightmare" that looks prime. the pitch is actually exciting too. and its a black not some dumb green/blue connector.

 

i like the new map though. very realistic. the sun actually casts shadows haha.

Couldn't agree with you more, that whole upper area is very compressed, from the looks of it the very thin line goes to Strawberry Shortcut.

I am also confused by pioneer pass..I am still not aquainted with the new Blue..I never even visited Rays Grill on Skis..500 feet of glades skis more like 600 feet..you'd be surprised..open your eyes a little wider and you'll see numerous lines..probably take a whole season to fully explore..and there's some secret stuff I'll show you..cliffs and shit..better bring your A game..sorry no trains to stomp..

 

it looks like pioneer pass is going to go from easy out and cross over to the top of the bunny slope over there. you could always ski over there like that but now it looks like it has a name for that 25 yards of trail. typical 'pocono' ski area.

thats what i though it was. like at the turn of easy out to go down to vista theres that area for cats to get back to the garage and above the ski school hill.

but the line pointing to were the "trail" actually is is on vista. and there isnt a trail (on the map) going from easy out to the top of the ski school hill anyway, so who knows. unless pioneer pass is going to the conveyor lifts for the real bunny hill.

 

that entire ski school/vista/easy out/pioneer pass/explorer/summit lodge/school hill/lift area is confusing as hell. ive been skiing there for years and i cant even figure it out haha

[toast21602]

yeah it makes up for about 30% of Blue's trails haha

seth rubino wrote me up for doing that a couple years ago on opening weekend lol

 

seth rubino also ate shit on the staircase on sidewinder a few years ago, then called us out for almost hitting him when he sat in the landing for about 5 minutes gathering his gear.

***ate shit skiing down the middle of them*** (just to clarify)

Widowmaker is Raceway is it not? Also, was the area right off of the lift at Razors/ Challenge/ Paradise always called Skytop?

Haha I'm good man, I quit Blue that year and worked @ Boulder on Park Crew for 2 years....I'm just working Full-Time for PenTeleData and skiing everyday at Blue pretty much, since it's only a 4 mile drive for me. But I went to the Leadville campus for a tour in 08 wasn't really impressed ..

[Shadows]

thats weird we never saw each other. i moved out of the leadvegas a year before you came i guess. made my way over to summit and spent some time there. now im back.
