Its clear that you have never skied west of Ohio....

Nice party in the summit lodge. Live music, dancing. Stopped for a bite, really dig the atmosphere tonight.

When Ski2Live is the voice of reason you know we have an oddball poster.

His accommodations didn't give you any ideas?

The town of Jackson sure looks snowy as a new storm is about to slam into the Tetons.

Is that a serious question?

Salty would demand a voucher

Yeah. Nice conditions. Actually skied the bumps which is a rarity. Only had time for a short session. Thay plus the lines were backed up from the chair to the turnstiles at both the quad and the six and I honestly didn't feel like dealing with it again. Only saw Matt edge and VT mark. Awesome. It was a bit more crowded than expected this morning as well. Ski clubs are consuming the evening and night sessions now. Also, I took this from my helicopter today.

Im also the best skier on the mountain, so let me know when you want to spin some laps. Furthermore, Im the best cyclist on this board, claimed.

Phillycore I like that you're excited about skiing again!!!!

i dunno if disrespectful is the word i'd use. it's a pretty mediocre ski at best, but use whatever works for ya, i guess.

Doesn't it always?

It's GSSucks what do you expect..oh Lordy a snotty remark on the internet..wow..

Yeah, but there's no park!

Such a beautiful view of Rendezvous Bowl in the foreground(ish) and Cody in the background. 2 weeks from today!

I'm going to Austria about same time you're flying to JH.

Well, that's one day that really shouldn't be white anyway.

I was digging your report until the childish comment. Broken record? How many times have you made comments chastising people on wide skis? Comfy circles? I'm willing to bet that most of the posters that you're referring to in your comment have skied more places around the country (or countries) than the majority of skiers you'll meet. Season pass vs no season pass. Narrow vs wide. Who cares? Different strokes and all that.

Dumbest idea ever: taking your skis off after every 950 feet of vert.

Hey all, I'm back from a fun night session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived in the lower lot at 645pm and it was jam packed with cars..the temperature was in the low to mid 40s. In the house were TP4, VTMark, Atomic Jeff, Matt Edge, NMSki, Salty, Johnny Law, Eaf, 15 bus loads of kids and about 1,000 people who took advantage of the $12..4 hour lift ticket. PARidge was also in the house but I didn't see him. Liftlines were about 5+ minutes on the six pack and a tad less on the quad which matt edge calls the Razors lift. Conditions were wet loose granular..was pretty pleasent ski conditions. After 4-5 runs in Razors and nightmare dreamweaver I was riding the quad with Eaf, Salty and Atomic Jeff and had that feeling halfway up the lift that i had the beginnings of a stage four deuce..I even had a bit of extra sweat which felt chilly in the breeze so high tailed it down Razors into the men's room which luckily had an empty stall. Did my business..was thoroughly sweaty went back up quad didn't see anybody then caught up with matt edge at the bottom and the rest shortly thereafter. Ended the session with all Razors runs it was the run with the least amount of people..I like that Razors hasn't been closed much so far this season during night skiing times. Guitar was also in the house in his race clinic but I didn't see him. We then went into the lot around 9:15 and had a nice night time tailgate. There was even a badass BMW 5 series wagon with an 8 cylinder engine that revved engine for us and a big diesal truck that was loud AF..I didn't leave until 1025pm and it was raining and foggy on the way home. Was a session that began kind of meh with the crowds but crowds but ended nicely as the crowds cleared out and the PASRs united for full six packs. I also heard there was a either a large drone or small plane at Blue mountain today..that's some weird wild stuff..in the lot there were warm and cool breezes.. JADIP

second dumbest thing I've read all day.

Damn lot beers should be good. Maybe I’ll drive up to the lot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Skiers far right is Tower 3 chute. I skied it with a cracked out guy from Stevens Pass that wanted a tour. GSS left me alone with this nut job while he went in to get something to drink.

Frankly, every time when that Princeton ski club posts a trip, it ends up costing more than if I just went there by myself or with friends. Plus I'm antisocial. So no, there is just a group of 3.

Im actually not at all, it takes a large snow pack to cover rocks that are 50-80" tall or larger in the summer though. Skiing a full season at a large resort will change the way you look at everything, at the beginning of the season you think "there is no way that whole rock/cliff ban will fill in", by the end of the season you have completely forgotten about that rock/cliff ban until it starts to melt out again. Hell go hike around at Blue in the summer, you will realize what a 48" base really covers.

You deserved it.

Oh, you're so full of yourself. Have you ever skied Alps? I'll go now and put a bunch of thanks to GSS's post who actually took some time to explain what's going on.

Turn down for Jackson.

I have the same musical tastes as most teenage girls. My favorite was when Atomic Jeff was blasting the same Taylor swift song for a couple hours on gaper day..

Because the insane amount of snow has been on the upper mountain..below mid mountain there hasn't been a lot of snow. Big difference between the summit at 10,450 feet and the base at 6300. This next storm should have most terrain open for this weekend. Usually by our trip in late January they are just getting the last things open like Saratoga bowl. The Hobacks usually opens around now.

6" more last 24. 10-14" next 24. This is the storm cycle that opens up the lower faces / hobacks.

NM/DW. I know that titty-deep Pocono powder anywhere!

I don't wanna ride a slow connector lift, I don't want to use a stand up gondola, I don't want to have to park in Kansas, I don't want to drive 2 hours to ski an inferior place to what I have a half hour away, I don't want to ski in jersey unless it's indoors or involves doing lines off a strippers tits in the backroom of the Bada Bing nightclub..and Bruce Springsteen sucks..I mean his songs are ok, if you're in the mood to cut yourself.

I have the same shit. Stretching my calves and hammies helps a lot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Are you sure? Everything I see says 46 years. I need proof. Looks like 1981 to me. #FakeMountain Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hate trail crossings and merges. That's a bad thing..

It’s 15 minutes long. That’s a lot of pocket beers.

Yeah. Nice conditions. Actually skied the bumps which is a rarity. Only had time for a short session. Thay plus the lines were backed up from the chair to the turnstiles at both the quad and the six and I honestly didn't feel like dealing with it again. Only saw Matt edge and VT mark.

Always meet at top of the sixer

He was gonna but I told him your were gonna be at Blue so he'll be at Blue. He's probably on his way already. Also NMSki will be there.

Ok

It was fucking glorious today. Perfectly soft spring snow, but not mush. Lower crowds, but more than expected for a Thursday, but I'm sure that killer deal added to that.

Just be sure to ski behind him!

No it's not a childish attitude. I'm not afraid or hesitant to try anything new. I started skiing when I was in my mid 40's, not many people will do that, love it and stick with it. Anything I've ever read or heard about Mountain Creek sounds like it sucks. Why would I waste my time or money?

I've actually only met and skied with Philpug once back when he lived in the Philly suburbs. Philpug was a skisnob and only skied in Vermont or out west and he occasionally would post on PASR. In conversation we discussed Pre skis and I said they were made in Park City Utah and Phil said I was wrong and I said if im right he had to ski a day at Blue mountain and he lost. Phil had a blast at Blue skiing the bumps and spring conditions. I was in Tahoe several years back and tried to meet up with Philpug but he blew me off. Tricia is midwestern she probably doesn't get sarcasm.

Fun tonight. I arrived about 4:30 to lots of cars in the lot, but lines wete non-existent and trails were not crowded. Some runs (Switch) were scrapey, but there was snow to be had on Main st, Lazy, Paradise, and Widowmaker. Taking a break now due to metatsrsal agony.
