All Activity

After riding a 3.5 earthquake the other night, I’m back from a sweet Valentine’s Day at Solitude. Day started out in the upper 20’s with a bite in the air until the sun came over the ridge and made it feel a lot warmer than the air temp. With a little snow this past week, all the groomers were in wonderful packed powder shape. I line up on the singles line and got paired up with a trio of UTSRs who are Solitude SP holders and have their own reserve line and ski there every day. There was no reason to bull-rush the chair but they do anyway, so I had to keep up and get 1st civilian chair. Did some high-speed groomers with them until I bolted for other runs. The mountain had a Valentine’s Day chocolate tour, so I had to do that, hitting all the free chocolate giveaways. The snow under the Sunrise lift was grate, so I just kept lapping it and the adjacent woods. It was also another Utah dream day, with temps in the 50’s back in the valley, so hit up T.F. Brewing and hung out with the dogs in the courtyard, having a couple beers. Also Solitude & IKON giving away perks for repeated visits…

Boo. Adventure Camp email about the kids race had the wrong day and its tomorrow. There goes Sausage Sunday

Get on some wide tires and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through.

A nice 2-3 inch storm would be great to let these people enjoying this weekend’s heat know that winter isn’t over yet

Grate report and WJW, 130 is pretty late. I had to pole plant aggressively to generate additional speed to keep up with Grilled Steeze Sandwich, it worked because ironically my pole planting distraction slowed down Mr. Sandwich. JADIP WTGAI WJW

Does Camelback still have pierogi? Blue had fried oreos. Do they still have fried oreos?

Salty might be onto something there with that flailing motion. Had I been using his technique I probably wouldn’t have been cut off at the bottom of Homestretch.

Good snow and fun day before the masses descended.

Hey All, I’m back from a fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot before 720am and it was in the mid 20s under partly sunny skies. In the house was everybody except BenM, Mixilplix, Root, Angryhugo and Zonked. I overdressed so when I went in to pee I dropped a layer and stuck my green fleece on top of the lockers…something I’ve never done but I’m a progressive guy. I think their civilian OG six pack cause my gate was slow to open and first run on Challenge which was not very good…some slick and crunchy as they must have blown some elephant snot on it overnight. Switchback was OK, some smooth some crunchies, lazy Mile I found to be pretty nice along with coming soon early. Main Street was ok…midway was small cookies and Paradise was pretty nice. I mostly skied with Airhead and SaltyAnt wow salty is a pole planting pro…I was in awe just watching. Crowds were moderate to heavy, no real liftlines while I was skiing but with all three high speeds running the trails were quite crowded. I went on sidewinder once and it wasn’t that good..that run gets so much traffic and people throw their skis sideways a lot due to all the roof rollers that it goes to shit fast. Nightmare Dreamweaver is now a terrain park and I finished my session with a paraweaver and Dreamweaver had pretty icy and chunky snow. Skiing overall was ok to good and the parking lot was fun and with the warm weather I hung out in the lot way longer than I skied and prob have sunburn..When I left around 130ish there were a shit ton of people and I had to be aggressive to get out of the lot in a timely fashion with all the people across the street… Ski most of you tomorrow JADIP

back in the day, Peak had a random lunch special. like Sheppard's pie, lasagna, chicken pot pie......way better than the usual chicken fingers, burger fare.

Saturday and Sunday. As of now, planning for a Sausage Sunday. Will be on the snow late tomorrow. Grayson wants to do this free entry kids race they're doing on Razors at about 11.

Could easily recoup all of it if you went that route. It's $200 more and includes 5 buddy passes. Might be back to the peak to peak for next year. Have to see pricing.

That pesky Sunday/Monday night storm chance is still hanging around for a few inches of wet snow. Most likely won’t happen, but it still hasn’t gone away yet

Definitely didn’t. Floyds was about 46 mph. Food was Ok, Blue’s is better.

3/17 Might be skiing with Raising Arizona 13 from TGR / NYSB . Getting stoked.

How was Floyd’s? Does Jack Frost have good food in their lodge? The last time I was there @moe ghoul brought me a hoagie chips and a Coke Zero in exchange for lift ticket voucher and looked like a mini food court

They have had issues with staffing since Vail took over. Wouldn't surprise me they didn't have enough lifties to run both Thunderbolt and East Mountain.

Good: The Crew…we had a really solid crew this year and just enough people for the rental car. Gotta thank Jeff for driving us around and when I was laying in bed shitposting online after the first ski day he did three seperate airport pick ups even put gas in the very new Suburban. Things started off mellow but when JFDan and NMSki arrived things amped up a little..got the bat signal that there were snacks and beer in room 106…also a roaring fire..both been to JH several times and not fussy at all.PASRs.. The trip kicked into high gear with the arrivals of Gary and Nazareth Jay…for only skiing several times in the last decade or two, Gary slayed..I took him on one of my easier stashes when the boys hit sportier terrain and he was right behind me most of the time except the cat track cause I have a little skiercross in me and a lot of mass. Nazareth Jay is always happy and was loving the Wyoming whiskey and my dumb humor. The first day at the mangy moose with the whole crew we were the servers most popular table and kept her busy with a lot of food and pitcher after pitcher and nachos and cheeseburgers in paradise. Bad: Asking for a chile glizzy inside the mangy moose and Russian knew it was a Hawt dog Ugly: is less dudes with poneytails in Jackson hole a good thing or a bad thing. Ugly used to be the seeing a hot blonde from a distance and it’s a dude used to happen a lot in JH but I feel like wallets replacing the skids over the last decade or two has led to that more Sheilas for sure in JH so that’s good just ask their age if they have braces.

If the dual mountain was 50 more I'd bite. Could prob resell the perks to frontplaters and recoup most of it

Airhead when are you going?

Day 42 and all the lifts were working. Amazing. Not as crowded as expected for Presidents' weekend. I guess all the Canadians are celebrating their Family Day by staying out of the US. PXL_20260213_201707484~2.mp4 PXL_20260213_195135594.mp4

0.99 is my prediction. And none of us will buy it.
