I can’t tell what that is.  I noticed they’re still waiting on the cable and without that they can’t hang the chairs.  Lower left looks like a nice mini line to Hollywood for the people on the super summit safari six pack

That’s the supports for the terminal outlined in the box.
 

I think the roll of cable sitting on valley school east just above the construction area near the tower.   They dropped that there a few weeks ago.  It was something heavy.  I recall them unloading it with a crane.

Are you familiar with the horseshoe?

Yes - it's the section of trail from about where Valley Patrol used to be all the way over to the Tubing gate, including the liftlines for Challenge and Comet, which used to mostly be covered by a pair of older Areco guns and a Super Polecat over at the base of Frontier Alley. The two valley Arecos (~80 GPM maximum) got swapped for bigger TT10 fans (potentially 180+ GPM).

Are you still a snowmaker at Blue?

I know snowmakers at Blue and I've seen their system run, but I'm not employed there. I think you have me confused with someone else.

Not sure about candysomething.

Right on I was hoping we’d have a blue employee on this page.

Looks like we've got the start of a lower station going on!

For archival purposes, here's a screenshot from today. Someone is working inside the new expanded bottom shack.

The full rope full of new chairs about an hour north looks pretty sweet

[Larchmont]

Snowmaking temps on the 13th. They've fired up earlier than that before. I wonder if they'll get the haul rope up by then?

And I don't think Camelback is quite done with the Nile Mile automation/HKD upgrade yet. Kind of six to one, half dozen the other.

Scanning gates are in.

[Larchmont]

Per Facebook, the Summit terminal is now on site but not yet lifted onto the supports.

I so wish I could be the snow report guy back when they were a thing.  I had all the 1-800 numbers memorized. Blue was 1-800-235-2226 and Hunter was 1-800-For-Snow and Montage was 1-800-Got-Snow.  If I was Blues snow report guy it would be like this.

That was a grate phone report but you got the trail count wrong, there are 59 trails. If you say this in an interview I'm sure you'll get the gig. Your only responsibility will be to update the phone recording every day and your salary will be at least three fitty.

@GrilledSteezeSandwich When you do the phone line make sure you say conditions are "Packed Powder" when it looks like this:

I’ll do it for free pierogies and if I’m ever on a diet you or shadows can have one actually I’ll end up buying more pierogies cause I can’t leave pops and enjorales high and dry

I actually don’t mind those kind of conditions. That’s what is known as a spicy meatball..holy cannoli!!

[Johnny Law]

That shit is hot though it does look strange to my brain, like it's not blue. 

When was the last time they had a lift that at least is theory will be so smooth ? The quad always was a bouncy mofo but I don't remember when the six was new....
