1/23/21..broken zipper..nice snow..

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey all,

 

I’m back from a fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. Today began with a bit of a snafu as my zipper got jammed and then my aggression broke it.  All good jacket is 7 years old and worked out to about 30 cents per ski day on it.  

 

Not doing an in the house cause in frustrated from spending the last hour looking for a temporary replacement jacket to use in the interim while waiting for something better to arrive from online.  

 

Onto the skiing, Challenge was ok to start but became a cookie factory. Main Street had a combination of fresh cord and new manmade Poe.  Sidewinder had fantastic cord and most of the Root rollers were smoothed out. Switchback was a carpet and had a sweet run on midway to little gap to lower Burma. Was chilly with my jacket wide open..and the parking lot was cold as well and now I have a ton of cheese balls thanks to Mute and Ryan. JADIp

This morning was a beaut. 
 

@GrilledSteezeSandwich I can hook you up with one of my old jackets if you need one. My park jackets used to be pretty big when I thought that was cool. You definitely need one.

If you want to bring it that’s cool.  Thanks.  I think buckmans is doing especially well. Stuff in their discount area was so picked through.

The wind was a little annoying, but conditions were pretty good.  I could also do without the snow guns on open trails.  I'm hoping all is right in the world tomorrow for a legendary Sausage Sunday.

I just had a tailor replace my zipper for about 20 bucks.

If you want you can have my grey one. I know you don't need or probably want free shit but you're doing me a favor by taking it. I'll probably never wear it again and I'm ocd about keeping stuff I won't use.

On my way with my younger daughter. We'll start off at valley school whatever and see if I can get her on paradise

Hmm... Can you toss out the name of the tailor you used please?

Seconded. I need the chest pocket zipper on my old jacket fixed, then I could continue to use it to retain my JitterBug.

Most dry cleaners can fix a zipper can’t they?

I would think with all the networking he does that he would have a connection to a dry cleaner/tailor

Wao, we were sophomores in high school when GrilledCheese was wearing a fancy suit and tie and making bank at Merrill Lynch, and PASR wouldnt be founded for another year. Also, I wouldn't meet @toast21602 for another 14 years.

Third. I took her a few times when she was younger and she never really wanted to go back until this year. Tried to get her a 5th grade ski pass but they didn't offer it this year. She did really well.... didn't make it up to paradise but she's close. Had a blast. And yeah it was a freaking zoo. Not sure the point of limiting ticket sales if lines are going back to the turnstiles anyway. Ski school hill wasn't bad but the six pack and quad was insane.

That’s pretty much how it was late morning.
