All good stuff though. Probably because they need to blow more on that to make all of the jumps, root rollers, and grind bar features for the park kids. 2 Quote

Wait this may be good news though right. You can't have a skier cross and terrain park on the same trail can you? Quote

It isn't going to change this season and sadly, we can't pretend that it will. Quote

enjoralas Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 I can’t see Pioneer Pass opening. I mean, they put a zipline on it and three anchor poles across the entrance. Really they’re down to 39 trails again. I mean, it’s a slow “trail “so they could fence-funnel the entrance around the poles without worrying too much about people impacting them, but it’s a lot of effort for nothing Quote
Benm Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 wtf, pioneer pass is an actual trail? i thought it was something on the learning hill or a lift. 1 1 Quote

On the map looks like it's the right side of Vista. But IDK. That's rad if they consider one trail to be two trails. Maybe they can do that with every trail and have 80 trails. Quote

Last year they seeded bumps on X-ing and they were far apart so I could actually ski them. I felt like I could ski. It was rad. I utilized the GoPro footage in my Haters vidya. 1 Quote

Blue definitely is leaving some trails on the table. They could easily get up to 50-60 trails without cutting down a single tree. Quote

toast21602 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Pretty wild snow squall coming through right now. Everything is covered here. Dumping at Blue too. 6 Quote

Pops out the side of Vista and cuts the corner to drop into Connector. Maybe 200 feet long. They built the ropes course next to/around it including the aforementioned zip line. It might be where they used to have the Big Air Bag, but that may have been right on the side of Vista 1 Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Oddly enough, and maybe its just the angle of the sun hitting our lovely Mountain, but i dont see plums of snow anymore. Earlier i did, but not now. i did just see a groomer on NMDW. good sign, but doesnt mean its ready. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Looks like the snowmaking is getting a little break. Maybe they used too much water or electricity. Quote
indiggio Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Yeah, it's 12' here. They still have trails to cover. Maybe giving snowmakers a break? Quote

It is also super windy here right now. They have been going almost non-stop since the start of the new year. I can't really complain about them stopping for a few hours right now even though it is prime weather. Blue has done an incredible job of getting things open. 3 Quote

Blue has done an incredible job of getting things open. Switchback is a good trail to blow on when it's windy, since it's surrounded by trees. Unfortunately it's only got the old, manual guns on it that require human attention. 3 Quote
mbike-ski Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 it's too cold to blow blue mountain gack, only fine gun pow comes out now. Will resume when the temps are marginal again.... (I appreciate what the snowmakers do but sometimes you just gotta wonder how come the product is not better with optimal temps. You see it done at other mountains?) 1 1 Quote
