Nice view to wake up to Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a great surprise today was! They reported 2”, but it continued to snow all day. Skied like 5” on much of the mountain. I guess I’m the luckiest son of a bitch in the world, but today was the first rope drop on highline ridge and west basin hike to terrain. Highline was only open through Juarez and west basin only through west blitz trees, but I was probably the 20th person to ski Juarez this year and it was really deep. Bottomless. I hiked once more to do Juarez again and made 2 hikes to west blitz trees which was so nice but not quite as bottomless. Played around off of bobs, moes and walkyries again. Skipped all the lift 8 bullshit. Word is more terrain opening tomorrow as they are looking at another 5-8 inches tonight, although it never really stopped snowing today aside from a few quick breaks in the clouds. I only brought my all mountain skis because conditions were expected to be so bad. Having fun in the 3D snow on my skinny skis!!

I'm officially a blue mountain passholder

Interesting day at Taos but really fun. First, man are they hurting for a base. I’ve never seen Al’s with so much shit poking through in the 30 years I’ve been going to Taos. Neither of the ridges is open and part of the backside is still closed. The good thing is that 7 inches fell at the base and was much more up high. I started out on the frontside and skied lift 8 for a while when waiting for the backside to open. About half the runs were left ungroomed which made for some nice boot to knee deep perder turns. I kept going up lift 2 to check if the backside was open and on my third time up I noticed the rope was gone and proceeded down honeysuckle. Got probably 3rd tracks down walkyries bowl and because I know some local tricks, I knew that Bobs would be good if it was open. After coming down walkyries, I snuck around lift 7a’s bottom shack and entered Bobs run which was knee deep and I had first tracks. I followed bobs down under lift 7 and had untouched powder the entire length of lift 7. I did that routine 3 times and was exhausted. After a little break I searched the sides of trails for what was left. I saw some prep going on on some of the upper steeps which look almost ready to go. Possibly some snow for Thursday so my fingers are crossed. My pics aren’t great, I wasn’t stopping to take off my gloves in the morning and it was cold as shit all day.

Doug will hook you up. He has an in at the inn.

That is huge and an unbeatable deal. Welcome to the club... we park over by snow tubing!

Bumps were pretty awesome. Top set on Barney's were meh. Bottom set $$$. Nightmare was good but to short so only did once. Bumps on challenge got real small ??? Massive sublimation going on. Snow got better as day transitioned into night. Glad I made the trip

There better be a big fucking buoy in Beltzville ready to pop!

Don't get too excited...

i think it was colonel mustard with a candlestick in the last run lounge

Beautiful day. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

True story. Female boobs too!

Called Blue and they said they will be making the $60 season passes for 6th graders available for next year, probably in the summer. So I will get those when they come out and the 3 of us will be skiing Blue all next season for a grand total of $519. Plus their PA SKI Passports and some coupons I have will let them each make four visits there this year. Gonna start waking up earlier on weekends I guess. Can't argue with an affordable pass to the closest and largest of the places I like to ski in PA.

add Olympics to that mix...

Even if the snow is slow you can go fast in the heart of the north face.

Nine lives, baby! Used up another one stealing your parking spot, though.

There's a hampton inn and a country Inn and suites in Lehighton on 209 right off the turnpike. Both of which are really nice. While I never stayed in either, I've used each multiple times for when I need to drop a D on my commute. Highly recommend

Y'all like lifestyle shots??

He was legitimately upset and hurt that I parked there lol. It's a parking spot, not a huge deal. a PASR actually told me in person they were glad I parked there lol

Let me check. On the flip side of that though, is that i have this work trip thing in the middle of March, in Vegas. Depending on whats going on in Utah, i may drive/fly/hitchhike to make some turns. Interesting development that just happened today. I'm gonna start really paying attention to how things work out with the buoy predictions.

I was there 15 minutes earlier than normal. Sally is just savage AF.

You did take my spot. You're lucky you're in the top 90% of people I like on PASR.

If you ski Vail go back to front. Winter Park is cool too, Maryjane side is super fun.

But any mildly grumpy person with a keyboard could write a bad review, even if it wasnt true. Thats the problem with the internet.

Still can’t believe it was only $400 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Blue replied and said the only place they aren't permitted is the room where the food is, the one with the bar in it too. They also apologized for the employee's strict enforcement. I'm calling shenanigans on her story because she goes on to say that she took her stuff and went looking for a seat in the other room before returning and deciding the rule didn't apply to HER. I simply don't believe that it was SO busy there wasn't a seat to be had I the Vista ballroom, but when she returned to the other room her seat was still open.

Main Street lower section were awesome. Great evening for bumps.

Doug I will send you some buddy tickets closer to your dates.

You mean harden the fuck up

Today I almost saw boobs.

Now that I joined team Blue I will be cool enough to meet GSS!

Did the same when my son was that age...

I like big, warm, soft, squishy bumps.

Purchase complete! Stoked! Am I able to go to any ticket window and get my card/picture? or is there a specific location I need to go?

Fuck yea dude

You assholes are going to get to ski with this asshole for another year. Stoked that asshole @phillycore is back! Bought it from the lot. No issues

Salty would have gotten a voucher and a reach around if he had been at Blue on Sunday.

I like big bumps and I can not lie.

Sunday was the perfect storm. Holiday weekend, snow Saturday night. These things will happen. It was one day. Blue didnt make it a holiday, nor did they make is snow. Clearly some people were gonna get screwed. The only winners in Sundays shit show were the people that showed up early. Crowds will be lighter from here on out.

I'm almost positive my pass won't work opening day next season. I'll worry about that in 9-10 months.

Maybe they should charge $600 for a pass so they can improve their website and social media. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sweet! I can't wait to see what comes out when Jersey goes legal!

Can't the laptop person just go on their computer in their car or in the tubing tent?? I'm shake shake shaking my Herman

Vip lot

Awesome. See you there!

Assholes of the highest caliber. That empty parking space didn't block itself for two hours, after all. Watching people drive into that park-tastrophe, look to their left and see the non-space space---the spark of hope extinguished almost immediately--followed by the thousand-yard stare of resignation. My god, that was first-class assholery.

Looks like we'll be back to more seasonal temperatures by mid next week. Highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s. We need that!!

I took down the IP block earlier today and the ban ends early tomorrow morning I hope salty wears this like the badge of honor that it is.

Not sure when I received the email but I did find my e-receipt and I purchased on Feb 24 2017. I think I bought it almost as soon as I saw it. The name of the pass on my receipt was “17-18 Season Pass, 6th Grade Season Pass” , maybe someone knows if they’re offering again if you ask for it by name.
