They could call it “Taint.” Cause using a Razor in that area is always a Challenge.5 points

IDK. I'm not sure anyone is judging ones style or ability; moreso the morphing of skiing into a cost / benefit analysis ad nauseum. It's obviously ok to to discuss and share deals; but when skiing is constantly talked about as if it were some sort of IRS publication thread after thread, people (especially die hards on a ski forum) are gonna be put off.5 points

How someone gets to your age with such little understanding is beyond me. Life is not about maximizing roi, money itself is nothing more than a tool, a group delusion we all participate in. Its certainly your right to take such an accountants view of buying a pass but ultimatley its something you can't understand and what makes you a shitty skier. Skiing is not about edge angles and turn radius, those things are actually simple. Skiing isnt from the mind but from the soul. You can think all day about laying arcs and nothing happens, it's a doing and like Zen Buddhism says doing and thinking aren't the same thing. To you the lot is a place to get some free meat but for us it's the equivalent of the town square. A place where like minded individuals although different in many ways can come together to have a good time. Other people that ski blue 3 times a week and can talk for five minutes about lower main st. Community, our tribe, now that is pretty rare in this world, infinitely rarer than a thousand bucks So no slightly cheaper access to mtns I already have access to is not worth that community but based on the way you ski that's not something you'll be able to understand. Its passionless, ski by numbers.5 points

Decided to pull the trigger in the Zelda’s. Every shop in town is out of stock. The place I rented them from gave me a really good deal on the demos with skins. At the very least now I can go play around in the snow whenever I want. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk4 points

Nice sunny morning at Blue. I got there at 930 to find only the Quad running. Later I learned that the Six was running but needed maintenance. Snow was good, smooth grippy. Razors was my ROTD with Sidewinder a close 2nd. Never crowded. The nice warm sun was the highlights of the day. I did 16 runs and left. I’m happy to see SP being ultra cautious with the markers [emoji106] Almost killed the guy taking a break just below the lip. Popped off a little air and landed about a foot off hit tails.

Give it a whirl on AZ and see what the response is then. Better yet try TGR. I'm sure they'll provide loads of helpful advice.3 points

They should name the bumps so they can have 40 trails for at least a couple weeks. They could call it Razor Burn2 points

I wouldn’t blame the person who hit me. I was also 15 feet from the bottom, not 15 feet from the top. And the slope was moguled to shit, and not smooth cord. So yeah.2 points

They didn’t have to sedate you to scan your cat, did they? Just sayin’, it might not have been the medication . . .2 points

Hey All, I’m back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I left for night skiing later than I have all season and it was the first time I had to wear shades on the way up for night skiing..I guess my future looks so bright that I have to wear my sunglasses at night. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Shadows and Johnny Law. I had a couple of shadows fries and they were the bomb. Temperatures were in the middle 30s...crowds were light..quad was running no six pack I think they’re getting a part from Slovenia First run was on Paradise was good at first but got really choppy from the middle to home stretch. Lazy was good at the top then choppy middle and the falls was rowdy. Switchback was dark and choppy refrozen crud..I even skied Burma and yeti both were progressive. Probably the shortest session of the year only five runs just wasn’t that good..had a few parking lot beers and peaced our relatively early. I’ll be back Thursday when it will be warmer and better snow. Great sunset from Tuts lane the first run or three.1 point

Half of Ski2Lives visits are by himself and he still can’t get his ass up..he still would be a blast on a Jackson hole trip...Ski2Live I’ll meet you at the Mangy moose on February 30th..Bruce is buying1 point

Decided on all 3 passes if you guys want to continue the pass discussion. And I expect I get up earlier to make it on the snow by 830 with 2 kids than many of you do to get on the snow at 8. Not that there is any powder to be gotten 90% of days and I find no real appeal to "fresh cord"1 point

Should we start discussing menu items and who is bringing what? I know Enjo has a new flat top that i for one am very excited about seeing some breakfast items on.1 point

We decided not to do the hut trip. I think if not for this latest storm things would be ok. Vail area getting 10-16" tonight through Thursday morning. Avalanche danger forecast is being elevated tomorrow back up to a 4/5 (high). But, since I now have my own touring setup we are going to go back to RMNP one of the days to play around.1 point

If it helps any, this is the one day of the year that you're likely to see a number of people hanging around well past noon. Mostly to sober up before driving home but still we stay considerably longer.1 point

Vail resorts ? Really ? That's so.......basic. If there is one thing Blue mtn isn't it's basic. Weird means different and different in this sense is mostly good. I can't knock her at the end of the day if she takes the $$ and runs, the ski business is shitty and who knows if anyone else would want it. That said I would be disappointed if she sold, Blue is Blue, it has character and is interesting, Vail is wonderful but does the EC need another Disney type place ? What about another faux Austrian village like Stratton or a billion other places ? 5 high speed 100000 packs won't make the skiing any better and it's sure as shit going to make almost everything else worse. Does blue sometimes make some rather interesting choices ? Sure but they also employ people almost entirely from the area. Think about if you can even name another resort that does that. Besides skiing fast on Paradise they let us do pretty much whatever we want. When it snows they have never once said a word to me about skiing wherever. Fuck this weekend there is a dude who's going to make Creme fucking Brulee in their parking lot. The owner walked into the parking lot and asked a bunch of men drinking beer at 1030am what we thought if she asked us to move and when we were not so thrilled did absolutely nothing. Think about that for a second, what if we did Sausage Sunday outside of a karate dojo, in most of the world that shit just doesn't fly. I've been lots of places, there is a place for Vail resorts but there is also a place for slightly weird places that break the mold. Skiing shouldn't be golf and if saving a couple hundo on traveling places is something you'd give up alot of things money can't buy than Vail resorts is right up your alley. Vail resorts loooooooves bubble lifts, what more do I have to say ?1 point

just cause you are sidelined from riding doesnt mean you skip the end of season party. You wont be the first person to attend with hardware to keep body parts together.1 point

So me and my squad got back late last night from snow. Saturday was such a blue bird day. No clouds in the sky but my two friends who both ski wanted to try snowboarding (dumb move). Needless to say it took over an hour to get down the mountain with them and the one ended up breaking his foot somehow. So I spent most of the day Saturday on the North side of the Mountain and it was awesome. Had some icy patches but the diamonds were challenging and fast. Roller coaster was a dope run with it set up almost like a boarder cross trail with huge turns and whales to pump off of. Saturday night we ended up going to the snow barn. No idea what to expect but they had a soul funk band playing. Was a little different speed but tons of people around. Sunday made the trip. Woke up to a fresh 2 inches of POW falling fast. Got to the mountain and they had three of the four lifts to take you to the summit closed due to wind. Me and my one friend got to the summit and it was mad windy. Snow still falling probably ended up around 4-5 fresh. This made for a great day in the glades. The super pipe is no joke. Super icy up on the tops of it but was still fun to hit it. By the end of the day Sunday my legs felt like death but heading out later today to possibly boulder.... Cheers all!1 point
