Fun day. One of the few things I like about CB is that it always makes me appreciate Blue's terrain that much more. Enjo nailed conditions. Bone rattling frozen cord was everywhere with the exception of a 3 or 4 turns on king Tut. What was open had surprisingly decent coverage and the bubble lift was a hoot. In the house were @mute1080 @Dirtwolf @Schif @Benm @enjoralas @indiggio and a bunch of peeps with indiggio that I didn't know, a few cb locals and I think we saw @DiMe too. Blue peeps were representin'. Good day, good season.

Final day in Aspen. Skied Buttermilk in the AM, and Snowmass in the afternoon. Sun was out, temps were warm, and it was empty.

Rode from 10:30 to 1:00. Felt great to finally ride a mountain this season that didn’t suck.

Today was pretty good. Nice to see the gang in a new environment. The scenery at camelback can't be beat.

There goes the neighborhood

Since the season at Blue is over decided to use our ikon passes and head up to VT with my son for the weekend. Forecast was looking rough but I’d rather ski in shitty weather than look at it out the window. Was sprinkling off and on during the morning but not bad enough to need our ponchos. It has snowed 4-7” overnight but then turned to rain so the fresh snow was heavy but there was a lot of untracked pow, especially in the trees . Skied mostly tree runs all day since they were such a a blast. Got WARM this afternoon when the sun came out and was classic spring skiing. Might have gotten a tan even. Run of the day was “sap line trees”, just a fun flowy shot through the trees off of the gate house lift. My son is a terrible influence on me. He eggs me on to do jumps and daring things and of course I do it. I think we’ll ski Killington tomorrow, maybe Pico.

Off the snow at 1045 to head to soccer. Enjoyable morning to me, but then I've never been an irrational Camelback hater. Last few runs things were getting a bit softer even over on Nile Mile and Pocono Raceway. Bet it was great 30-45 minutes after I had to quit. Think this was my first Camelback visit since before the pandemic, but it reminded me that I do quite like the place. Not $275ish add-on to my Blue pass like it, but if they have triple tickets sub $130 next season I'm likely in for one. If I was midway between them instead of 20 minutes to Blue and 45 to Camelback, I'd probably spring for the add-on. Debated running into the rental shop to see about setups for the boys (no not kidding) but didn't think I could get in and out and to the soccer field by noon. Did squeeze in a stop to grab takeout from Zack's tho.

Did you pick up a nice used rental board and boots?

First ride up the bubble. The S4 at Bleu is ofc super nice, but this thing is a Cadillac. Or a Crown Vic, as it were. We know who KSL considers the flagship

Welcome back salty

Anyone who goes today should hit Zack's Taco Shack on the access road on the way out. On the right by a pizza place and a ski shop. You won't be sorry — I'm bummed I won't have time to stop.

I feel pretty confident they aren't going to allow other mountain pass holders on for First tracks. We have to go to Guest Services to show our pass to get a ticket, so I'm sure it'll be a day comp that won't register as a SP and open the gates early, assuming they have it set that way to figure out who to let on easily at the lifts. Here is the parking map. Lot 2 and lot 3 are premium lots. Since they said free General parking, I expect these will still be pay lots. Lots 4,5,7,8 lots are normal paid or season pass lots that should be free tomorrow. Here is a satellite image. Red squiggles are premium. Yellows are free, green is lot 8, this is where i intend to park. It's down the hill back towards the hotel, right next to the beginner Sunbowl slope. It's actually the closest parking to the snow, but not the most convenient to the good lifts. Either have to ski over to the Sunbowl quad and catch a lift up to the new bubble, or down past it to the indoor Waterpark lift and ride thst to the top. That's probably my plan, with a Nile Mile run first, then a trip back up and head lookers right to get down to the other lift and see what's good over there. My plan is to arrive about 745, park down by Sunbowl, walk up in street shoes to GS for my ticket, then back down and boot up. I only have until about 1030 because Boy 1 has a soccer game at noon.

It's the last day, they probably don't care. That being said 730am frozen cord doesn't sound great. 830 or 9 might be better. I'll be rolling in around 8 or so.

I’m not partying with the boys. I’m not a homo.

She was part of the same event. Slapped down on the ground initially by mama griz and my husband ran to save her. He got the brunt of the attack. Pepper spray saved him. The dogs were useless. This happened a 1/4 mile from the house.
