Still here and imho it's wicked fun; genuine packed powder so it's turned into a great evening to be a Groomer Zoomer with a SWEET pair of RTMs.

Day 4 - Alta Less ppl, more sun. Had coffee first thing and watched all the motivated ppl skin up the other side of LCC. I was glad for the ski lifts bc that kind of skinning looks like too much work for my taste, lol. Yesterday we spent most of our day over in the supreme area. Mad technical skiing in the chutes in supreme bowl let to some spectacular views of LCC. Another lap or two down sugarloaf, then we headed over to the collins side and hit up ballroom (just opened that morning and was mess by the time we hit it). Rest of the day was spent lapping the high t. Ski patrol was blasting the crap out of devils castle, cecrete, and baldly backside. All those areas opened up by noon-ish. Tomorrow is snowbird.

I got the Red Chair!

And you told me you didn't goto the doctor despite not being able to lift your arm above your head. Don't be so fucking stubborn. Go to the doctor. If I don't see paperwork from a doctor by tomorrow at 5pm you're banned for a week. Shots fired!

still don't know what happened to Doug, but his significant other is pissed that he did not seek medical attention.

Snow just stopped here. Sun is poking through. It’s beautifully white, quiet, calm, peaceful right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just got here, snow is picking up as it all comes together and blooms but the phase is off and the temps are a bit warm for the valleys. Less snow definitely west of Philly, reading will probably only do a couple of inches. Will still be a good one for phl and blue should do pretty well.

After packing up and hitting the road after Bromont, we traveled 3 hours further north to the town just outside of Mont Sainte Anne. We had gotten a room at the Quality Suites there and were only 10 minutes from the base of the mountain. After a good nights sleep, we had breakfast at the Quality Inn, got some discounted vouchers at the hotel, and hit the road. The hotel had no vacancies, and the parking lot was significantly busier than when I had come last year. Regardless, it was never “that” crowded. We redeemed our lift tickets and were on the snow by 9:30. Our first couple runs were uncrowded and had no lift lines. We accidentally ended up in a natural snow only area serviced by a T-Bar. Afroman struggled with the T-Bar and we became separated. After waiting for about 45 minutes at the lodge at the base of the backside of the mountain, I decided to take some runs. I encountered my first “long” lift line of about 10 minutes, but if you hit the singles line, it was much quicker. I lapped the backside of the mountain which is mostly Green and Blue cruisers before finding Afroman about 8 runs later. We headed over to the front side to skiers right for some amazing views. Following that, we got some uncrowded runs off the Gondola. All in all, we did 17 runs today, the majority of them from 11:30 to 4 straight. There was significantly more snow up here than at Bromont. There were decent bump trails and some off piste to be had. Still some bare spots, but this storm Thursday should erase that. It was a mix of frozen granular and packed powder with a moderate wind. Overall, it was a great day. Off to Le Massif de Charlevoix tomorrow.

Couple more from this evening.

What happened to "check yourself before you wreck yourself" and staying on piste if the snow isn't deep enough?

Jealous as shit...yet again. I'm 100% there tomorrow evening

Reports from on the Mtn. : Surface is excellent, light snow, 2" overnight and another 2" so far today. No lift lines. Beer is cold.....

And girlos! Just arrived. Roads were totally clear and fine except for the Palmerton side of Blue Mtn drive on the ridge, which inexplicably had a bunch of snow cover.

Jk I can't remember the last time I put my TV on at a hotel.

I complain about everything.

That's disgusting. I'm not into that.

After a great day at Mont Sainte Anne yesterday, we headed northeast to Le Massif today, which is quickly cementing itself as my favorite East Coast Mountain. Le Massif is 35 minutes northeast of the hotel and the drive was uneventful. We pulled in just before 9 AM and were on the slopes by 9:15. We snagged a spot in the first parking lot, and repeating my trip from last season, we headed skiers left to the only lift that isn’t a t2b lift. I decided to start off my day with a woods run that I did last year, and found the trees just as enjoyable if not a little tighter than I remembered. It was the first real trees I had hit this year, and it was good to be back. After a couple runs off that lift, we decided to head to the bottom. I had forgotten how long the 2,500’ vertical drop took to cover, and how little run out there is at the bottom. The mountain is steep and mostly consists of blue and black terrain. We encountered our only lift lines of the day at the gondola, and they only lasted about 5 minutes. The gondola is a refreshing 12 minute ride to the top. After 5 or 6 t2b runs, we grabbed our sandwiches out of the car and headed to the bottom to eat. The lodge was full, but we were still able to find a seat. After lunch we headed to the skiers right of the mountain off of the t2b HSQ’s and took some laps there. Things got slightly skied off by the end of the day, but conditions were mostly packed powder and were much softer than MSA the day before. We ended the day with another run or two off the first HSQ and then a couple t2b runs. I had forgotten how tiring putting in that much vert can be. Overall, another great day. It flurried all day, but it is supposed to snow 10”-12” overnight, so tomorrow should be epic. I think we are headed back there. If we have the same crowds as today, I think we are in for a treat.

Then ban me. I won't be able to organize the PASR party

Me

I'll be up. Should be pullin in around 445-5 ish.

What time you going skiing? I’m heading up after work tomorrow so hope to see you there. Anyone else riding tomorrow night? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The last one is a great shot! You should frame it

Yes i did. I was hoping it would make it further down the road but it only made it to just up the hill some.

Woah, sweet RTMs!!!

Today was amazing, great snow, great people and endless fries

Really really good day with good people again. I’d like to get up for opening. Groomers will be on point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wrong.... Upper Tunk, Chippewa, and Iroquois, have been ungroomed and left natural since last storm. Stay Outta My Trees...!!.....

You're like a ,chumbawumba song..you get knocked down but you get up again.

The trees at elk are illegal.

Congrats on 1700'posts. You da man!!!!

Can't believe you bailed already! It's only getting better . . .

To celebrate Post 1700:

Not watch reruns of everybody loves Raymond. I had my iPhone, alcohol and the company of others.

HTFU I do a 70-80 minuets ride to blue a few times a week. 70 miles is easy, especially in a Volvo with a turbo.

Salty next time be sure the first run you ski on a Perder day is ungroomed. I got dizzy just thinking about all the various lifts you took.

Must be something about 50-something men doing flips..MBike Mike was apparently doing backflips into the pool in JH after many beers.

Both man. Gotta be slick on pow days!

That's awesome but I refuse to participate in the weather channel's naming of snowstorms. Definitely the lamest thing ever.

No snowboarders allowed at Alta!!!

nice pics and report, makes me thirsty for a johnny's pounder!

Best fucking day of the season. So deep, no need to make any turns. Brewery time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
