He's so fucking smart he tries to make an analogy and spells brakes wrong.

spent two hours at nestors earlier today. Almost bought chronics but wanted to look around online a lil more.

Closing at 1pm today. Not that it matters. Also, if you don't have a season pass to Blue and utilize the VIP line, you really have no reason to comment on the effectiveness.

OK but you do see how calling Blue's VIP line management a disappointment and how talking about your high hopes for it, when you're 1) not a pass holder and 2) have ever seen the benefits of it given your limited days there can be off-putting to people who ski / love Blue don't you? Your "observations" are based on a mid week evening in December. Go MLK Sunday at 10 or 11 then tell us what your observations are before deeming it a disappointment. Honestly Salty I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm trying to point out what's been rubbing people the wrong way about some of your posts as I genuinely believe you're a nice guy. I've been around here a while though. Being a great skier isn't what earns you a reputation. Being cool and not posting from your high horse (albeit with limited experience) does.

Why are you, a Camelback passholder, "disappointed" at Blue's VIP system? You are unable to, nor have you ever used it. There's zero for you to be disappointed about...Or are you just trying to get people riled up?

Since you're still a n00b, I'd stick with something with a smaller radius to help you learn to arc turns at slower speeds. Nothing more than 17m. I think you need a ski between what you have an Kendo's...it's a little too stiff for you I think.

fill me in again on why the VIP line makes you act like an immature child throwing a tantrum?

Sit on it!!! VIP will be resolved this is the busiest December Blue has ever had.

Yeah, that's why I chimed in to Salty. If you're a slower skier who can't yet go into the bumps and ditches, crowded trails can get a little nerve-wracking. Everyone has their comfort level, of course. He's agonizing over hypotheticals; you know that when the Blue season pass offer rolls around in February, hell go for it. I'll supply parking lot beer for the entire month of March if it that's not true.

Y'all need to calm down with the VIP line issue. Yesterday's crowd didn't warrant them getting an attendant out. The line was constantly moving and wasn't even a 5 minute wait the entire day. When it gets REALLY crowded, they'll get an attendant out and that's when the VIP line will be in effect. Looked like they blew all over the mountain yesterday and the snow was pretty good all over, except for under the fan guns they still had running, which were spraying almost straight water. Poor Rodney went under one at the bottom of Paradise and his skis stuck to the snow but he didn't. Word is he double ejected and landed pretty hard on his ribs. Hope is all right. He ended up leaving short after. SP finally got sticks out and they even brought up a groomer to grind in the wet snow. We also watched as the gun at the bottom of Sidewinder caught people as well. Be wary of snow guns!

Looking forward to your ride reports in the bike thread.

Wrong. Oh so wrong. Happy HOLIDAYS though!

Thanks Shadows..threadjacks have always been a major pet peeve of mine...

Any mashed potatoes to go along with the lashes?

This is the new PASR and it's great!!!

Yesterday on home stretch I saw some guy with a GoPro lying on the snow after taking a spill. I felt bad for him but all I could notice what the red light eminating from his head. The worst was when I fell on Cannonball (Montage) last year. The ranger said if I fall again I lose my GoPro privileges.

And that's why Ridge was admitted onto my chair and your application is....pending. I'm just goofing around, GSS. Too much rain, and at least another three days of not skiing. A girl has to entertain herself somehow!

Galileo was great at observing things too and he got a ton of likes. Well, eventually.

He needs to tighten his GoPro screw. Maybe Salty can give him some pointers.

What makes this post even more hilarious is that I can see you pulling over on the way to Virginia to download a Fonzi meme just to make that point. I'm literally laughing my ass off

I find that on crazy weekends (MLK/Prez) when the citizens line is nuts the slopes get to a point where uphill capacity gets saturated and the traffic on the hill levels off. I never found it intimidating traffic wise.also helps if you play in bumps/trail sides and the stunt ditches. Typicality VIP line gets you 3-4 runs vs citizen’s line during peak times. Awesome awesome set up

People who like skiing and dont get many days to chose from

That's how my weekend worked out. Bagged skiing in the rain today, but heading up tomorrow morning. Being Christmas Eve and all gonna have to bug out kinda early so no Sausage Sunday tomorrow.

It's your not you're I know trump haters that are gonna save five figures on their taxes next year!!! Drain the swamp.

Ski. Rain today will keep most casual skiers out tomorrow. Happy holidays!

I hope there is video of each ski demo with commentary along the run.

307mm is the boot sole length. 26.5 is probably the size. What's the stiffness value?

Try the 90ctis, trust me. They are very forgiving and hold an edge well. They are also very light. My other recommendation is a dark horse, but the Nordica Soul Rider is an awesome, playful ski that holds an edge well but is forgiving and fun. True Blue should have that one; I know they carry Nordica now. Edit: if your boots suck, take care of that before you demo skis. JD at Blue is a good bootfitter, just make sure you ask for him. His staff are lovely but they are salespeople more than bootfitters.

Wait I said fast and soft during the rain..the day after is a crap shoot. Let me check the forecast for Camelback and I'll be right back with my prediction. I thought it was supposed to get cold so probably be icy death.

Have fun and write some reports!!!

In Vermont until the 2nd burning up my Max Pass. Probably Okemo, Pico, Sunapee. Saving the K days for the spring.

Need em that wide for all the Pocono powder days.

That's the only way to success!

Have a safe trip.

Agree, the lines were fine-- I was just anticipating crowded weekends; worrying too soon. I liked Main St. a lot yesterday so just stayed on the slow double much of the time.

At least a foot of new snow so far on the upper mountain and several inches down low and gonna dump all night and another storm for Xmas...should be near 100% by New Years. Here is a sick sick video.

No, it just puts you into the corral with everyone else. I hope they make it a distinct line soon.

Maybe the world.

Due to this major error, I'm considering getting a pass for Blue. But Blue can't get their opening times right on social media, so I guess it's Montage then.

See were it says drunkenly?

im obviously not going anywhere else cause blue is the best...just saying. little things. I should start smoking again.

That’s why I like skiing with you, you’re easily entertained
