Popular Post PSUFrankenstein Posted February 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted February 17, 2019 Hey guys...been lurking here a long time, just reading reports and stuff...I bought the cheap season pass to Montage that was posted in this forum (I appreciate the heads up on that), so I think I at least owe a few reports. I've been riding most Saturdays since early January, but this is my first report. Got there around 8:30 and took a run down Cannonball. It was pretty firm which is what I expected, but not terrible. Next run I cut down Fast Track or Runaway (can't remember which) to get to the Long Haul. It has actually been running every time I've been there. Had a nice session IPA on the lift and did a few top to bottom runs. After that, lapped Boomer and Smoke a bunch. Conditions there were pretty good and softened up as the day went on. They mowed down the rollers and bumps on Boomer that were there two weeks ago. Did some nice faster runs, which was fun, but I did miss the bumps. Hit White Lightning once, which was ok but not great - firm and icy in spots. Left around 12 and stopped at Breaker Brewing for lunch. Beer was awesome as usual. I look forward to the brewery stop almost as much as the mountain. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the report. I'll try to post some more reports as the season goes on (or I could just keep updating this thread). I'm going to try to go most weekends. It's tough with a 1 year old at home, but I can usually get a morning session in. 13 Quote

EdBacon Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Montage is great because it really like two mountain on top of one another. Edited February 17, 2019 by EdBacon Quote
Schif Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 Welcome to PASR!!! Montage is awesome, even though I'm a blue regular now it will always be a special place for me since that's where I learned to ride and went for so many years. Look forward to more Montage reports!! Quote

indiggio Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 Mmmmm....Breaker. Love that place! Nice report. Welcome! PS: Nice fish too! I'm sure @tarponhead will be curious. Quote
PSUFrankenstein Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks guys. I like Montage, the fact that it's never crowded is one of the main reasons I go there. It's actually a little further than Blue for me, but I figured if I bought the pass and ended up using it only a few times, I wouldn't be too bummed out. Normally I'll bounce around a bit and do a few trips to Montage, Jack Frost, and sometimes Blue. I try to do a trip to Colorado once a year if I can, my best friend growing up moved to Steamboat 8 or 9 years ago. On 2/17/2019 at 10:51 AM, indiggio said: Mmmmm....Breaker. Love that place! Nice report. Welcome! PS: Nice fish too! I'm sure @tarponhead will be curious. Expand Thanks! I started saltwater fly-fishing 4 years ago or so, and it's become a bit of an obsession. That was a ~30 lb redfish that I caught in Hopedale, LA (not far from New Orleans) in December. 1 Quote
poconoceancity Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 Has the long haul been running this season? Quote

Expand Yeah it has been running every time I've been there. That has only been on Saturdays so far though, so I'm not sure if they run it every day. The Phoebe Snow lift broke a few weeks ago when I was on it, so I was happy the Long Haul was running then. 1 Quote
PSUFrankenstein Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Posted February 20, 2019 Thanks...if any of you guys venture up to Montage, let me know and I'll make sure I bring extra beer. I ride solo all the time anyway. I'm gonna try to go again this weekend, but if it rains I may cut out of work early Friday and do an afternoon session. 4 Quote
