eaf Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Awesome, ain't it? 6-pack broke, quad isn't prepared. So 30 min delay at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaf Posted December 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Alright, going now. Snow is pretty good, whatever I could sample on my single run down from the summit lodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaf Posted December 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 I like the morning crowd. All wound up, silent, knowing what they want, leaving the lodge 3 mins ahead, almost marching down the stairs. Nothing compared to the day time people. All relaaaaxed, sipping tea or beer, stairing through the window, chatting lazily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaf Posted December 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 It's not icy here, and so far Lazy is such that I wish I had somewhat wider skis. Hey saltyant, they did a full bypass for SP holders at the lift, so you can ditch Montage and start thinking Blue again 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey saltyant, they did a full bypass for SP holders at the lift, so you can ditch Montage and start thinking Blue again Is lazy sugar?? Do you have wider skis than Slalom skis?? I noticed the six pack wasn't running at 7:57am so did everybody parked at the bottom drive to the top lot in their ski boots??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are half tired, half not knowing what they want to do. Today morning crowd surprised me with sheer determination to come out and ski. But they were all silent cowards when attendants were sending them from 6 pack to quad and back. Not a single whine. A was pissed after 25 mins waiting, but not them.

I'm way more tired night skiing..I'm bright eyed (sometimes red eyed) and bushy tailed waiting for the gates to open at 750am.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Eaf I like the real time reports. I've left my phone in my car everyday this season but will do some real time reports this season. I'm paranoid about going into my pockets and taking phone out on the lift but like to post from the summit of Tuts lane or the top of switchback where there's good reception.

Expresses continuously break down, so it varies. They shut down six pack permanently, then quad shortly stopped for 10 mins, and it started to get crowded. People waiting outside gates.

They better get the lift situation fixed by Tuesday when the real crowds come out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaf Posted December 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Yeah, the loss of a 6 pack is a big problem. Quad is definitely not keeping up, lines are up to the scanners now consistently. And no line management, most chairs are leaving with 2-3 people, sometimes 1, sometimes 4. The stupid part is that there are not too many people on the mountain. Skiing is very comfortable. And so is lodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaf Posted December 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Sidewinder us the best trail of today. Then goes Main, then beaten up Lazy. IDK what they've done to Lazy. Since being completely bald on Thursday it got some thick granular layer that my sticks aren't liking too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
