I just saw in a FB comment, Blue said Raisins will be open friday. Looking deep. Time to move on to some other slopes.

It sure is @saltyant thanks for the tag..after I get back from JH I’m gonna want to know how things have been at camelback and if your hot sister is married unless I see you at Blue this weekend.  

Camelback is rad. No. Maybe I'll be at True Blue this weekend to see the ski team ski on Razors Edge.

Blowing on Chute and Widowmaker was noticeably new to me while still hitting the same trails they had going this morning

Today's conditions report says snowmaking on Yeti too. My kids will be stoked, lol

Shit at this rate with the next 4 days if they go RTC (round the clock) they’ll have the entire place open.

They didn't have anything going earlier when I checked, now just ambiance guns going.

Why aren't they going hard on Challenge and/or Switch?

They need to make snow while the temps are down, not piss them away!

Rode today from 905 to 11, dudes on the lift said Blue doesn't want to pay the day rate. Seems dumb to me but who knows, they did turn the yellow fans on at 1030 pretty much everywhere.

Snow was not as good today, too much blowing made for some hard stuff and cookies.  Upper main was glacial from the start but about 1/3 down it went to a carpet. Lazy and dis continue to be very good. They opened Widow though it was a hilarious field of cookies and glacial. 

Coming Soon was rotd as the headwall was ratty but had perfect grip to let them go.  They were working on pushing out razors and had come around pushed out but not open. Someone on the lift said switch is next but take that with a big grain of salt. 

Good day and with some natural tomorrow am could be very good.....now all I have to do is get out of work

its hard to tell if they are working on NMDW, which is what someone said they started yesterday.  it kinda looks like they are, but its hard to tell.  if you look at the vista cam, up in the very left hand corner it looks like some snow clouds, maybe the lower part of come around?  

Ok, from the tubing cam it looks like DW is definitely on.  

Personally, i dont feel they ever run full blast. Ever.  Compared to what other resorts have in capacity, and how much (slopewise) they run, its not impressive to me.  I think Frost is 6K gpm, and it kinda seems like thats about what Blue runs.  I think shortly Frost will be 100%.  Granted, its smaller, and a little better temps, but i kinda feel the powerhouse Blue claims to have, they should pace them or beat them to 100%.

Widow all the way to Midway?  Either way i will take it, but i will be impressed if its to Midway.  

I do feel like they are throttling back the snowmaking at times, whether its their call or not.  It might be some KSL influence too.  And it could be directly proportional as to how many cars are parked in the paid parking.

Guess they want NMWD for BMR Freestyle team to take...

All the way to midway, when I rode the quad nmdw didn't have anything but maybe I missed a whale up top
