It was back in 2020 that we were out here last and the first run down then was so grate it was at that point I decided I needed to move out here at some point before I die…. I finally got my ass in gear and decided the conditions were worth giving a go. A quick look at the webcam and it’s snowing up there, I’m going. I decided to do the ecological thing and see how this ski bus thing works. UTA runs buses every 1/2 hour up both canyons to reduce traffic and parking congestion. i futzed around and waiting too long to get my ski stuff together, so I missed the first bus. I didn’t need to be there that early anyway. 7 min ride to the P&R and a 40 min ride up the canyon and I was at the mountain with 20 mins till 8am open. Not bad at all. 32’ at the base, the snow was a little slushy and the air was warmish. Up the Moonbeam and into some groomer. Wow, no slush and soft snow. What is that silence? Back up the Moonbeam and across some ungroomed fluff field, nice. Ran into a bumped up trail that I really didn’t need first thing, but it was fun. Spent the next 2 hours lapping the Apex. Found a gated trail marked thin and expert, so had to try it. It was thin but not expert, but nobody was on it so worth lapping. The legs were shot by 10:30, so made my way back to the bus station. Busses run right on time. Of course somebody had to drive off the road and into a ditch. How they did it on dry pavement is anyone’s guess. A pretty good day considering the warmth and lack of snow out here.

‘25 repeat- got an early start at Gore Friday to beat the forecasted rain. Started off with perfect groomers under blue bird skies, empty. Country club skiing. Even got ito the woods a bit and made the Gore fb page https://www.facebook.com/share/1873oDWV93/?mibextid=wwXIfr took a late lunch and came out to steady rain so called it. hit Pico yesterday to firm conditions, never really softened up. upper mountain was mad brick so lapped lower mountain groomers all day with a technical natural snow connect the dots run on Lasso Plan was to hit Magic today but decided to head south based on yesterdays conditions figuring it might soften sooner. Ski’d in two states at Catamount , conditions were slightly better on the sunny NY side than in shady Massatwoshits, although neither state never really softened up

First chair went to Dom

Hey All, I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 7:21am and already a bunch of PASRs in the house…pretty much all the PASRs were there except Salty, Matt Edge, Boo Bear, VTMark, Toast, Atomic Jeff and Zonked. It was in the mid 30s under cloudy skies. First civilian six pack and I skied challenge first which was solid and it that smooth and there’s a little hole in the falls. Next run down Main Street had a smooth lane and to the sides of that frozen crud. Then paradise the first 2/3 was nice the right before the big corner sludge and then rolly Polly boilerplate bottom part. Last mile was pretty pleasent with a smooth lane as well. I skied lazy twice to lower sidewinder for variety and the corners on lower sidewinder were soft. Went back to Main Street via X-ing and X-ing still had fresh cord but it was bulletproof. The crud next to the smooth part of Main Street had softened and I milked some short turns on the side of the trail next to the non existent spine. I did lazy again and ended with a full run on Burma. I hung out in the parking lot longer than I skied today and a fun parking lot with bratwursts and chips compliments of Dirtwolf. I’ll be back tomorrow and rumor has it the sun will come out. JADIP

Hey all, I’m back from another morning at Solitude mountain, the only mountain I have unlimited IKON access. I arrived at the lot on the bus at 7:15am and it was 12 degrees with bluebird skies. In the house was me along with a few different cliques unknown to me. Up the Moonbeam, looks like a few more inches of fresh fell overnight. Took an easy run back to sample the Western groomer and some of the fresh along the sides, nice! Over to the Apex, lapped Wall Street to Main Street until 9 when the Sunrise would open. Lower Main Street center was scraped off, so stuck to both sides where there was still some freshies to be found. Rode up the Sunrise with a couple who said “Watch your head” as they pulled down the safety bar. Am I back East? After some chat, they’re from New York and I told them I figured you must be, pulling down the safety bar. We chatted about that and where they ski back East. SP dropped the rope on Sensation which was all fresh on bumps which was a ton of fun but my knee was annoyed from yesterday’s powder and my lack of exercise, so peaced out at 10. Caught some interesting parking lot tailgating going on on the way out. They had the tunes cranking! JADIP

Forecast was calling for 8-10” up at the mountain, so it was off to catch the 1st bus to hopefully beat the crowds. It was raining with some snow mixed in when I got on the bus. By the time we hit the canyon road it was pumping down full-on snow, finally! Arrived at the mountain to heavy snow with about 4” At the base. Lined up at 7:55 to the announcement of a short delay on the open and some avy bombs going off. Up the Moonbeam to 5-6” and back down through the perder. Back up and down over to the Apex for a few laps until I couldn’t find anymore fresh. It was near 9 and they were gonna open up the Sunrise lift, so headed over there and waited for it to open. It’s a donkey triple, so a pleasant ride through the woods to give the legs some rest as I’m way outta shape for a pow day. Lapped the Sunrise a bunch of times and headed back to Apex and back down. Had my full and caught the bus back into town. Heard over the radio there was a car on its side in a gulch in LCC.

The plan was to have a nice ski day at Killington on Sunday. Things were pretty icy which wreaked havoc on the lifts. We got to the Skyeship base at 7:50 and booted up. Noticed the gondola was on hold so we patiently waited until about 8:20 when I noticed on the app that the Bear Mountain lift was open. Took off one boot and we drove up to the bear mountain base. The lift was running so we got in line. We were about to load when the lift stopped and they shut it down for the day due to a mechanical problem. They said that the Skye peak express was opening soon so we waited there for about 1/2 hour. I noticed on the app that Skyeship gondola was open and since nothing was happening where we were waiting we decided to go back down. I took off my right boot and we drove down to Skyeship where we boarded. Only stage 1 was open but we could ski one run off the north brook quad. Did that a couple time but its a pretty short run. I realized that the snowdon lift was open so we traversed over past K-1 to snowdon and it was one of the longest lift lines i've ever seen, as that was the only lift operating out of the base. Bad idea. Now how do we get back to where we were without taking a lift up the mountain? I realized we could skate below Superstar and take the bunny hill to the snowshed lift and then traverse back over to northbrook area. Things didn't look good for many more lifts or terrain opening so I checked Pico's website. It said that all the lifts were open and a decent amount of terrain so we said f-it and did the run all the way back down to the Skyeship base. I took off my right boot again and we drove over to Pico. I knew it didn't bode well for conditions when there were a whole bunch of cars leaving when I was pulling in. Got a great parking spot and we headed up. Made our way up one lift and then another to the top. Was VERY icy on the run from the top. Add the icy trails to the foggy skies and neither of us was feeling it. Glad we were able to see Pico and it really seems like it would be fun on a nicer day. We headed out after only a couple runs and made the drive home. I've had my share of epic awesome ski days, so gotta take one of these once in a while!

Back from another grate day at Solitude. Thought about going elsewhere but figured everyone was gonna head up LCC because of the recent storm, so decided to stay away from there. Arrived at the mountain to 9 degrees, crystal clear skies and squeaky snow. The place looked beautiful with the new coat of snow. Avy explosions were going off all around the area. Up the Moonbeam and down to the Apex on pristine groomed Western cruiser. Lapped the Apex until 8 when the other lifts start loading. It was cold, but running laps on the bump runs warmed me up each time. Pockets of fresh were still around in the trees and the bumps were firm and edgeable. Up the Sunrise and over to the Summit lift the just recently opened. Lapped the Summit lift a few times then back down to the Apex and out. Wife needs more ski equipment, so headed home to go shopping. JADIP

Hit Montage today from 9 to 12. Started off hitting Boomer, smoke, and cannonball. A little icy to start but not too bad. Grabbed a beer from the car and did cannonball down to the long haul. 3 runs off that...hit Rattler to cannonball and back to the long haul twice. Then back to phoebe snow lift...2 runs on White lightning/Whitesnake, Boomer, and 2 runs on Smoke. After that it was around 12. Midland still wasn't open so I walked to the lodge...breakfast sandwich, Montage mule, and a bloody Mary for lunch Pretty good day. They were blowing a lot of snow and lower fast track, I would expect that to open soon

ROTD Upper Barneys blow over from the glades. Eventually got scraped off but fun while it lasted.

Fun day.. worst part about it was the crowds starting around 8:45 or so. Nothing bad and everything good to very good. Fun day!

I loved today. First run on razors was a dream. Soft cord and a complete turnaround from yesterday. Everything remained really good throughout the morning actually and there really wasn't a bad run. Soft cord turning to packed powderey conditions basically. Switch, upper main, lower, coming soon....all excellent. Lazy falls may have been the least good but it was still good all things considered. Excellent conditions on Razors didn't last very long from what I heard but those first 2 runs were $$. A top 3 session today however. The storm may have disappointed, but blue definitely did not.

Happy holidays all. Just back from a nice morning at Blue mountain. In the house were JFSkiDan, Dirtwolf, Atomicskier, Atomicskiers lady, BenM, Mixlplix and a few others for the 8am Friday opening. Santa left a few surprises over Christmas including the opening of a few new trails. First run was on one of them for me..switchback and it was surprisingly good for day 1 conditions. The star of the show however today was main...upper and lower, but especially upper was a 9.8 on the blue mountain scale, a carpet basically. Curzis to Midway was another decent run today. Freefall was good as was lazy. Falls however was open and it was decent, the lead up to the falls however was a bit dicey. Razors opened as well but it looked like the ice planet hoth from empire strikes back so the wise decision was to stay off of it for now. Opinions vary about today's / tomorrow's storm. While some are optimistic, others are not so much. Predictions range from ice to 10 inches. Time will tell I guess.

Decided to get out of my ski funk and go back to Snowmass. Was in line 8:45 this morning. When they allowed us to advance my pass would not scan. After what seems like an eternity of aggressive left side boob mashing against the scanner it finally beeped open. I’m sure a few behind me were annoyed. Got 4th chair. Skied down to Alpine Springs in what was my first legit cord of the season. What a nice change! I then skied Naked Lady off the Alpine Springs chair. Not groomed, but no bumps, kind of just annoying choppy crap. Missed my turn and ended up going back to the base skied right on the VX 6 and had the chair to myself Skied down to the Sheer Bliss lift to see what was up. It was really windy up there and I know the Big Burn runs have not been good. I decided on Sheer Bliss, 2300’ of bumps my legs were feeling kind of cooked so I made my way down to the base, took one more lift up to the mid and skied another groomer down

Skied Sugarbush with my son today. Was a very spicy meat-a-ball to start with after warm temps yesterday and a freeze overnight. Many of the groomers in the morning were some of the most challenging sliders conditions I’ve ever encountered. Luckily the stuff that the sun hits got pretty decent. We lapped the castle rock area for a bit and skied the north lynx lift line a couple times which was very fun. We even found some trees that skied okay. Crowds weren’t bad at all after about 11 am.

Back from another day at Solitude. The big H has settled over the area which means mad inversion yo. Left the house it was in the 20’s, up at the mountain it was 32 with a bit of haze obscuring the moon. Pretty much a repeat of yesterday, lapping groomers, furmish bumps and some stages of fresh in the woods. Did a little more exploring of areas that I saw yesterday, but there’s still so many places to roam and some of the lines people have came down are quite crazy. JADIP They groom right up to the doorway!

Repeat of yesterday. Felt like skiing on cardboard. Hopefully it softened up some. Thanks enjo for the grub. My son thanks you too.

Hey All, I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at dark o’clock and it was in the mid 20s under mostly cloudy skies. In the house was everybody but Nastar Glenn and VTMark. Second civilian OG six pack and my first challenge run of the season. Challenge was alright if you stayed in your lane..machine groomed frozen granular. Nightmare to dreamweaver was a little better. Main Street was nice chalky snow and switchback was pretty bad..pretty icy. Widowmaker and Midway were decent as was lazy mile although it was crazy mile when I was on it with the dickhead race kids. Coming soon was pretty nice lower paradise they blew crappy snow on and so crowded. I skied another Main Street and ended on paradise and I got whistled at. Considering I’ve never skied slower on that run when I passed patrol they can suck it. Fun parking lot started out warmish in the sunny and got coldish tomorrow. Now I’m at work preparing for work tomorrow..don’t cry for me I’ll only be here like 20 minutes. JADIP

Enjoyable sunny morning of spring-like corn with very few people on the slopes. Keeping it easy 😎☀️🌽

Warm start and the creamy goodness is still plentiful. Saw Atomic, c1?, and Marty getting after it. NMDW was my ROTM but Raisins, CS, and Raceway/Mid/Lower were full throttle. Sidewinder 3D snow is twice the size was last year. Hard to find a consistent line and stick with it. Def was the slowest run of the day but fun hitting all the angles. Only rode until 1020 to get to my 11 am meeting but I'll take a Blue morning any day of the week.

I was bored. Used NOAA National Gridded Snowfall data to generate the graph.

Hey All, I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at around 715am and it was cloudy with the temperature in the high teens with light winds. First civilian OG six pack and I skied nightmare to Dreamweaver first, it was semi firm but smooth. Razors was closed for the race team. Then skied switchback which was pretty nice and skied it again. Then Main Street which was nice and chalky near the top and more sugary lower down. It was crowded today but 8am start vs yesterdays 9am start along with the lifts running decently made a world of difference. Raceway had nice cord, midway was pretty beat up fast and I skied a lazy to the falls which was empty and Bethlehem fords crew said it was the run of the day. Besides the Bethlehem ford crew minus Jimmy and craig, also in the house was everybody except salty PARidge and Nancy. I took the quad to coming soon which was ok, pretty scraped off and lower paradise was wall to wall people. I skied Main Street and switchback more and ended my session on Paradise which was crowded. Fun and still cold parking lot and even when I left closer to noon there were some people parking across the street but not as crazy as yesterday. All and all a decent ski day with a lot of PASRs. jADIP

Hey All, I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot before 720am to a skiff of new snow. It was in the upper teens under partly sunny skys with pretty strong winds. In the house were BenM, PARidge, MBike Mike, Mute, Atomic Jeff, Schifdawg, JFDan, Mixilplix, Harold Kumar and Kumar. First run on Razors with strong winds and snowmaking snow blasting from challenge coated my goggles and tough to ski..snow was alright I guess. I then went to Switchback which was nice and a few pockets of untracked. I kept lapping switchback as it was pleasant and mostly empty. Again crowds were light and only a few people on most runs. I mainly rode the OG six pack but I did make it over to the Quad and coming soon which was empty and super nice chalky snow, I thought I was on Bivoac at Jackson hole for a second. Lower paradise was packed with people. Cold parking lot the sun did come out a little, I didn’t stick around for the grilling as I was cold and not in a beer drinking mood. Now back in town and wow nobody on the roads and at Wegners now and never seen the parking lot so empty. While the world is just waking up a lot of us already got a ski day in and some beers down. JADIP 9am opening tomorrow so can sleep in.

New year new Blue. Conditions were excellent today and consistent throughout. Everything was good to awesome. Free fall was probably the best of the lot. As was NMDW...first runs on that and it was prime NM D Dubb sans features. My toes are still numb. Awesome day

Day 14. Braved the crowds because the windchill was -15°F and I figured they would stay in the lodge a lot. Lined up for a chair at 8:40 and skied until noon. I love cold days here.

Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. The drive only took a couple extra minutes and I arrived at the lower low around 717am and it was in the low 20s under mostly cloudy skies. In the house were Mute, JFDan, Mixilplix, Falco, Dirtwolf, PARidge, MBike Mike, BenM and a handful of others. First run some went to Main Street and razors and I skied paradise and had it to myself and it was like a Midwest groomer but longer. Then razors which was a solid 7.5 out of 11. Switchback was pretty good with a little root roller near the top. Skied switchback again and then Main Street which was pretty nice. Coming soon was decent as well and I heard Stalin or Lenin’s route is skiing decent. Lazy was alright falls a little sketch, I went back to Razors and was now a 6.9 out of 15 with the chunks and cookies emerging. I skied another switchback and ended with another paradise. Crowded were light to moderate and the sun emerged a few times in the parking lot. Even a drone above capturing peoples bald spots. Ski most of y’all tomorrow I’m at work now to clear the paths and count money. JADIP

Hey All, I’m back from another morning at Boue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot before 720am and it was in the upper 20s under partly sunny skies. In the house was everybody except Johnny law, Nancy Schifdawg, Pops, Zonked, Root and Toast. First civilian OG six pack to a very nice Paradise. 6.9 out of 9 nice grooming and smooth. A repeat of paradise then Main Street which was not that good..small cookies. Lazy mile was similar and then over to coming soon which was real chewed up but not bad if you kept your line. Crowds were moderate, a good amount of people on the trails but no liftlines. I skied paradise a little more and ended my session on Burma which saw some thick new manmade snow overnight. When I arrived guns were blasting on Razors and razorback and switchback but were off while I was skiing. Another fun and windy parking lot and by the time I left it was getting to around 40 degrees. Everybody have a merry Christmas I’ll ski most of you on the 26th. JADIP

Fun morning cold start 12° ish . First chair with @Johnny Law. Coming soon pool table cord full throttle.Paradise same. Main st meh . Skied a portion of the woods next to upper main then Barneys which was a bit better than expected. Bailed after an hour, got a little busy later with lots of college kids.

Empty, some of BFG's crew, air and c1er but otherwise the single digits kept it empty. No snow guns on. I only had until 1030 but with the upcoming weather change the time was now. Everything was hard fast and smooth with very very good grip. First run on coming soon with no wing man and dark it almost felt too fast. Rotd was raceway, mid, main it's so nice to put the hammer all the way down and air the midway lump with no kooks around. Just an all around superb morning before what I fear is a big surface change. It's almost certainly undiagnosed autism but for some reason Don Henley was in my head all morning.

Is mostly on lower main.....Oz and BFG crew in the house otherwise empty except for some boomer group in matching jackets. Allegedly the rain was to stop around 10 so I timed it for 930 arrival. Barely raining I figured I had timed it well but mother nature was just fucking with me. The snow was pretty mint as it should be for riding in the rain. Razors was particularly good, like a wet cream cheese the snow had infinite grip, good speed and a good cushion for getting some air. NMDW was a bit more uneven but I think that was on me for being late as it was a boomer heavy crowd and they were all about NMDW. Challenge, switch were absolutely perfect to put the hammer down and unleash your inner herminator. Boomers generally dislike those trails and alone I went big honking turn style with airs. It was divine minus the limited vis. Around 1115 the rain actually picked up and one run later I was getting wet wet and called it. Anytime I play the rain game it seems to always rain up there for longer than they think but it was super nice to make land speed record attempts on Razors on what felt like a bonus day.

Skied last night with the fam and it was prime time night skiing. Rain kept half the crowd away compared to Tuesday night and the snow was a mix between creamy and mashed potatoes. ParaWeaver was our ROTN

Left my house at 9am and it was -4. By the time I got up to McClure Pass lot it was a balmy 3. XC skied the fire road to the private property gate. About 5.5 miles round trip. Half of the route is in the sun, half in the shade. The sun was glorious today. Made the frigid temps bearable. nice snowmobile track. Lots of if grid cabins higher up that people still access in winter. Tried out a new pair of heated socks today. Highly recommend! Had them set on 3 (out of 10) on intervals. 5 min on, 2 min off. Feet did not feel cold at all. Can’t seem to paste the link but I got the Lenz 6.1 compression socks. Pricey but worth it.

Timing is everything….. I didn’t plan on skiing today but work cooperated and got there after 10. On the way up I realized I left my ski pants at home so Jeans it was. I hit the lazy glades , relatively ok then Main st glades were much firmer. Paradise was nice then I headed over to Barneys. I hung out up top and found a light bump crew for today . Slim , Drew, Mike and young Jake from the Blue Mogul team ( very talented) he didn’t mind skiing with the nursing home fugitives. Barneys softened up enough to be super fun. Skied a bunch on Barney till it started to drizzle.

Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830am and the temperature was in the mid 30s and rising under partly cloudy skies. In the house were Johnny Law, Charles, Nastar Glenn, Harold, Kumar, Greg, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Rodney, Oz and maybe 200 other people. I big change from last weekends crowds. The Quad and Super summit safari six were running and me and JLaw were second or third civilian quad. Law went to nightmare dreamweaver and I went to paradise for the first run. It was decent softish cord…next I skied razors which was way better than expected. The top headwall was semi firm but the middle section was beautiful soft and smooth. Skied razors again then Main Street which was ok. The bottom part was like a milkshake without much milk…thick. After Main Street hit switchback which was nice and smooth then lazy which was empty and nice to the falls which is still pretty bad. Then we skied coming soon which wasn’t that good, cruddy and uneven, then sidewinder which had a ton of root rollers and Herky Jerky, back to razors which was still real good and tiny tenth and final run down paradise which was empty and semi spring snow. All in all way better than expected. I was expecting it to be empty with rain in today’s forecast but didn’t think the snow would be so good. Now at work for hopefully one of the shortest work days or hours ever..just gotta pay some bills and check voicemails. Ski most of tomorrow. JADIP

Rode the night shift as work just kept getting in the way. Mad kids around but absolutely zero pass holders so straight on the lift. Snow was still creamy on top but had some good rowdy piles and mega ruts. Razors was the best just mega active fast feet and hucking your meat to avoid the punji pits. Turn, turn again to go around the bomb hole then use the speed bump they worked in to air the next bomb hole and rinse and repeat. Shit was a mega hootenany and when's its good rowdy I'd argue the night session can be more fun as its a lot more interesting getting down the hill......I feel like I've said it since we quit nights but I gotta work on my night moves more often.

Live RAW update... Snow - 9 out of 10. Awesome spring like like loose gran but firm enough to let shit rip. White lights - 10 out of 10 Crowds 0 out of 10 a shit show lines back to the turnstiles with only 2 of the 3 lifts running

Finally a couple inches of freshies today. Low viz but fun conditions.

I'm at Montage today...whitesnake is a blast

Hey All, I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot before 820am and it was around 20 degrees under overcast skys with light winds. In the house were Atomic Jeff, JFDan, Dirtwolf, Nastar Glenn, Bethlehem ford crew, Mark, TheDude and many others. There was quite the lineup for opening bell and the OG six kept stopping on the way up and the quad was not running. I skied Razors first and fresh blow over pow pow on the top headwall was quite good. At the base there was already a half corral lift line back up OG six pack and skied switchback which was ok but a little scratchier than yesterday. Then to the super summit safari six pack which stopped for several minutes right before we got on then they closed it and I high tailed it to the quad which just opened. Up the quad and the quad stopped for several minutes, at one point all three high speeds were stopped. I skied a pretty empty Paraweaver ok snow and they blew some crappy snow bottom of paradise and was rolly Polly. I then ended my short session with a few runs on Main Street which was ok but X-ing had some sweet cord. Today was by far the busiest day of the season and Blue was dumb for not paying attention to the calender and making today a holiday with holiday pricing and hours. I think they should do dynamic pricing on food as well. Todays crowd would definitely pay a couple extra sheckels for a chicken sandwich as it was the Jersey New York Asian invasion types with electric cars..weird wild stuff. Ski some of yall tomorrow, JADIP

Woah. January hits and blue is back to being blue. We'll always have December I guess, with its smallish crowds and good snow. Twas nice. See y'all Sunday. Got stuff tomorrow.

Day 15. Freshies

Windy. Cold. Trails good. TCS ROTD.

Hey all, I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot around 720am and it was in the low 20s under cloudy skies. In the house were Atomic Jeff, NMSki, JFDan, MBIke Mike, Mrs. Snowbunski, Mixilplix, Schifdawg, Bethlehem ford crew minus Jimmy and Craig, Slim, Oz, and Falco crew. Second civilian OG six pack and instead of being in the mass of people on razors I had an empty paradise which was nice until the last section which had some crappy new snowmaking snow like frozen snot. Switchback was alright, I found Main Street along the right side to be the best and I skied that several times. Homestretch and barbs way were rolly polly and a mess. I skied lazy mile once the whole mile and it wasn’t that crazy. Also got coated with snowmaking snow on the super summit safari six pack. All in all it was a fun session, now I’m at work taking a crap, count money, go grocery shopping and then THC experiments on myself. JADIP

Rode TCS down first and it was really good, L Para was a total clusterfuck of conditions. Razor was a little crumbly up top, lower was pretty OK. Then you got on Homestretch and it was a clusterfuck of conditions. Things on the Main St. side were nice. No words for the shit on Barbs Way. Safest bet was riding the snowmobile track tight down the left side. I saw the closed sign on Raceway and said fuck me. By the time I saw some people goin on it I was cold and ready to call it.

Fun morning. Decent conditions overall but that first run on paradise was truly paradise. Curzis to mid was another good one. Things held up overall but the sugar was starting to creep it's way out towards the end. Didn't hate it. Upper main was meh. Overall it was a good day however. Even got an education on contrails (not to be confused with chemtrails)... The more you know!

Hey All, I’m back from another session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at like 715am and Johnny law was already in the house. It was in the low 20s under mostly cloudy skies. In the house were Atomic Jeff, PARidge, JFDan, MBike Mike, Enjorales, Dirtwolf, Slim, Gary, Charles, Salty, Bethlehem ford guy and many others. First OG six pack to paradise which was like 8 out of 10 before the sharp turn where it was kind of cruddy. I skied paradise two more times then Main Street which was mini cookies to to bottom, lazy Mile was ok a little more like crazy mile in spots. Went back to Paradise and still decent but some more icy patches. Did crazy mile again and ended my short session on Burma. Typical day after rain and freeze some ok spots some not so good. It was pretty chilly out and crowds were on the moderate side. Only a sprinkling of Asian invasion and Jackalope Jabronies. Fun parking lot but cold until the sun came out…all in all wasn’t the best day but better than not skiing. Snowmaking continues on the Falls, Razors, skiercross, Razorback and Yeti. JADIP

I didn't think today was bad at all all things considered. I guess I had low expectations but blue exceed them. Grippy for the most part, not much in the way of cookies and no sugar. I was down for it. Really good to see guns ablaze everywhere. Looks the water situation is taken a turn for the better.

Hey All, It’s hard to believe it’s almost the third weekend of the ski season. Is anybody planning on skiing/riding Blue mountain the true mountain? Looks like moderate temperatures and fast snow will be on tap.

Rode with Atomic and VTNick, we went dis first as they were not running the quad for unknown reasons. I expected harder more bullshit snow but surprise excellent cord and it was time to dance. There were some skeet shots where they blew snot but besides that it was more hard super grip snow. Raceway, mid main was le tits as mid had full push full grip snow and we entered lower main like a rumor, gone before they are sure they even saw us. Lazy was good too but that trail is too slow to be interesting. More than a few peeps where hiking to coming soon and all said it was most excellent but it could be the sweating balls talking. It was always coming but it sucks we are Noah's arc tomorrow even after the thaw freeze last night shit was quite good.

Arrived at 430 and had a couple runs solo before @Dirtwolf joined. Way better than what I was expecting. Some slick spots but pretty smooth and grippy for the most part. Played in right side of Coming Soon and that snow felt good. Skied to 630 and not that busy. Couple random ski race teams I’ve never heard of (Ridge?) Bottom of headwall to home stretch on Raisins could be pushed out to half way. Decent looking piles. I think all the snow up too blew over the hill into Danielsville. I did see someone poaching it and promptly face planted under the quad WTGAI
