PSUFrankenstein Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 I'm surprised it was empty yesterday. They were advertising $25 tickets for yesterday at buckmans Quote

Mixilplix Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Better conditions tonight...Sweet and Low most everywhere....Fast surface and got kinda heavy in some places...The steeper areas were all good though...I ran Timberline right before they closed it for NASTAR and it was pretty meh with some dark spots showin...Empty again tonight...No wait time...Another super fun time.... 4 1 Quote
trackbiker Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Planning on heading there after work. Hope the crowds are still low. Was mobbed last Tuesday when I was there. Their lift line management sucks. Do they close Timberline every night for racing? Quote

I believe they only close Timberline on Tuesday nights and I doubt they'll be busy tonight unless Wednsday nights are a big school trip night. Ill be up tonight puttering around with my GF.

mgguy Posted January 31 Author Report Posted January 31 NASTAR is Tuesday and Wednesday nights. SL on Tuesday, GS on Wednesday night. Snow today was really good for first 1 1/2 hours then got mashed potatoes. Sasquatch and skiers right of Grizzly ROTD. Thursday and Friday nights this week lots of schools coming. 1 Quote

Rode from 6-8ish doing a handful of runs off of the triple then started doing some top to bottom runs and finished with a few more runs off of the triple. GFs progressing well, still mostly pizza-ing around but starting to carve a little bit more and handly speed better without panicking. Learning how to do full stops better and better each time out. Its pretty cool to watch somebody progress from hardly getting down the carpet hill to doing top to bottom runs in about 2 weeks/4 trips. Last night was the first night that she truly had fun! 7 1 Quote
mgguy Posted February 1 Author Report Posted February 1 BC frowns upon pop ups in the parking lot for tailgating. Will get a visit from security. I do see low key tailgating going on Saturday afternoons in lot. Just be cool and haven't seen any issues. Also haven't seen any grills going....... Snow today was pretty good, fast and firm. Got in my 16 runs in 2 hours. Started getting lumpy on Kodiak and Broadway by 11. Timberline, Grizzly both very nice. 3 Quote

I’ve tailgated before events other than skiing and did the low key tailgate thing with sandos…my delivery guy went to bear creek for supper with his wife and said the burger was like $20-25..that’s the same as Jackson hole and Blue mountain. Crazy…can get Chinese food for three people for that on the way home. I’m glad y’all had that long cold stretch two weeks ago..sad AF start to season thanks GSS Quote
Mixilplix Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 At BC from 5 to 6:30ish.....When I rolled in there were many buses but not a lotta cars.. ..Almost turned around....Walking in the courtyard was packed....After I made my way through the sea of humanity I was surprised to find a short lift line....Made my way to F chair and the line was non existent....Snow was good...Little chop at times but it kinda made it more fun...They have an OK base but there are spot that won't like it when Mr Sunshine returns...Bout 6:30 the lift lines started and called it... When I rolled out I counted like 18 buses.... 8 Quote

Mixilplix Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 Rode at BC for little over an hour after work...Conditions were kinda meh...Hardly anybody there ... 4 Quote
mgguy Posted February 6 Author Report Posted February 6 Was up this morning, first chair. Conditions were sweetness on the half shell. Not a bad run on the hill. F chair side especially nice. Started to soften up around 11:30. Very light crowd. Expect next 2 days to be the same. 2 Quote
Mixilplix Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 (edited) Fun night at BC....They were able to get some snow down last night...or at least something that looked the part...Conditions have improved there....Steeper sections had scraped parts that showed groomer/cat tracks in the ice..Some rougher stuff towards the outsides of things....Thought the new stuff would be like glue,but I had no problems...But god damn at the bottom of Grizzly by the trees there is a monstrous fucking bomb hole in the snow.......It wrecked a bunch kids tonight...I think it started as a jump kicker...But everybody was hittin it from all angle and it just grew over time ......If it's there tomorrow I'll try to get a pic... Edited February 7 by Mixilplix 2 Quote
trackbiker Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 How were the crowds? Might hit it tonight. Quote

How do I keep missing you?! I was there from 5-8 and kept an eye out the whole time. The snow was awful granular sh*t at the base....but on the actual trails the snow was much better. 26 minutes ago, trackbiker said: How were the crowds? Might hit it tonight. Light. B chair got "crowded" for like an hour but it was still wasnt bad. Quote
Mixilplix Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 (edited) Nice late pm session at the BC...Snow is gradually coming back to decent conditions....at least on the F chair side...The usual slick spots...but for the most part everything was pretty easy to get an edge in...I think they were able to make some snow last night....More people there tonight than there has been in the past...Never really waited too long... @antman12 I look for you every time I'm there.... Edited February 8 by Mixilplix 4 Quote
Mixilplix Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 Some spring conditions at BC tonight....Pretty firm under a nice layer of snow cone stuff....You could really ride the turn....On snow about 4:30.....Couple of buses/courtyard packed...But little action on the hill...After an hour the lift line started to get annoying .....Rode another half hour and out at six....Fantastic snow and got some good turns in.... 5 Quote
Mixilplix Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Some nice soft snow at BC tonight....I could not believe how absolutely dead it was...It was like quiet riding the lift....Base is starting to show some signs of giving it up....But it kinda spices it up a bit.....It's been super fun ridin for like an hour or two right after work.... 5 Quote
