Put your fucking rally caps on its I return from the land of Dolly and the cold hitched a ride. Guns started last night and they are still going, windows almost all week and minimal underdeveloped snow flakes. Shit is heating up, wax the big boards, get your purple polo out at least for one week shit looks pretty ok

Holy cow, it’s Jan 1st, I hardly got any time to sleep the night before, and now it’s going to be another sleepless night on a red-eye to Malpensa! After an unbelievably warm, wet and snowless trip to Jungfrau last year, this time we decided to play it safe and get up high in the sky to Breuil-Cervinia-Zermatt area, approaching it from the Italian side. And of course, as the luck of the draw goes, this year there’s plenty of snow everywhere, and on top of Matterhorn there are actually 60mph winds, so we might not even be able to cross into Switzerland over the 4 days of skiing, since the only way to do it is to get over the ridge at 3500m. Something tells me though that before I get a chance to try that, I’ll be trying chains on my way to Cervinia, which is like, maaaan, this would be a perfect year to take trains on the Switzerland side rather than drive in snow in Italy. Anyway, the plan is to ski as much as we can and wherever we can, and use the first opportunity to sneak out to Zermatt, like these people did, but the other way around (https://yawninggetsyoueverywhere.com/2022/03/18/skiing-from-zermatt-to-cervinia). Only 5-6 hours roundtrip with a nice opportunity to miscalculate something and end up spending the night in the wrong country. Will we get a car good enough to take us up to Cervinia? Will the winds cooperate? Will we be too dumb not to cross over back to the Italian slopes in time? LOL, better get drunk soon to stop worrying about this nonsense!

According to somebody on blues Facebook comments, there was somebody today under the lift cleaning up trash. Remember we all have a lot of power and you can complain and not be a Karen.

Rode Cinderella at Dollywood, its a coal fired narrow guage they picked up from Alaska. It was og from Baldwin in PA in 1938, loud and angry it belched cinders as it devoured the track in animal like fashion. Super dope train....

Anybody remember when i said it was gonna snow, and we would be fighting for some powder turns on 3 trails? looks like that dream could come true.

Some guns back on already, so that's nice. Hopefully they can get some stuff laid down this week.

I wish I hadn’t heard about this storm til Friday night cause now I’m spending way too much time and worry looking into a forecast that will change 100 times between now and Saturday

I shall be there this evening...

This made me smile. Winter is coming back! At least throughout the west https://unofficialnetworks.com/2024/01/01/powderchasers-powder-watch-janurary-2024/

That's step 1. Now they need to 1) implement policies to prevent it and 2) implement a schedule to maintain the cleanliness. No one wants to see that shit in 2 weeks again especially after the night groups start.

This is the best forecast the Tetons have had in a month.

Welcome back, PASR needs your stoke. Airhead and Dime try their best to stoke up the peanut gallery but your stoke is like the yoccos secret sauce, often imitated but never duplicated!!!

FYI, this was the map from what ever model gave Blue the most snow, but yeah, its good to see snow back in the forecast and should make for some interesting "stoke" for this week.

Sunday snow map for “stoke” will change 9000 times before it ends up as rain.

@saltyantThis weekend may be just the time to take advantage of the super duper VIP exclusive Blue/Camel ultimate combo seasons pass. We can get a full hour of First tracks deep Pocono perder while the regular ticket peasants just have ti watch and drool from the base area.

Way back, pre PASR I think, i had a weekend like that so i went to Killington. I even met and skied with peeps from epic ski. That's was fun.

And props to @AtomicSkier for paying the bills here so we can make our voices heard via this powerful and influential medium called Payser.

Blowing on Paradise, upper Main, Lazy Mile, top of Razors (although most of that is going over the top of the slope). Stopped around 10. Conditions this morning slightly better than Sunday, with the exception of lower Paradise- one person a time going through the brown spot. Not as much sugar, Freefall a little crowded, Midway/Lower Main fairly empty. Burma had the best snow, but massively crowded.

100% chance of moisture with this storm from what I see. Ask the Beltzville Buoy or @JFskiDan for some data..

Blue is saying up to 9” lol

posting for "stoke" only. This guy doesnt show up until there is something to watch, so....... I think he skis at Blue, might even be like part time staff.

At least the lines in the grass look good. @toast21602 Lawn Talk

Friday they had 4 workers in the parking lot picking trash in the afternoon. Just so happened to be a day-ish after your rant so keep them coming, hopefully they’re reading

Gotta give Bear creek props for getting open..even Jackson hole only has like 53 runs open.

Hey All, I’m finished with another session at Blue mountain the true mountain. This report is actually being written in the lot at Blue as I just quit and am the only one in the lot. I arrived at the lower lot before 720 and it was overcast and 33 degrees. In the house were Atomic Jeff, JFDan, Indiggio, Tarpenhead, Matt Edge, Dirtwolf, NMSki, Tommy, Enjorales, Mixilplix, TP4, Pops and many others. First went to the super safari six pack and wasn’t first chair as there were gate issues. Easy out and vista were ok and midway still not terrible but lower Main Street was a mine field and cookies and dirt. Then took the quad and coming soon was decent edgeable semi smooth hardpack and lower paradise was spicy. I lapped that for the next hour or so and had my fill. It’s not very crowded today considering it is a holiday. Now JFDan and BenM are in the lot so time does some fun lol

One run in and I can tell you this won't be a long session. Crowds on dirt strips basically and people are actually complaining that they didn't make snow. I can't. Anyway Snow is mashed potato, gaper built bumps everywhere. Probably not the best day for me after being down and out over a week Either way. I was able to snap this Pic of the Majestic beauty of the mountains in the wintertime below.

Blue should charge more this weekend cause it might snow…$130 do I hear $135 $135…$140…

Mixilplix happy new year and thanks for bringing up Rajeev it has been long time since he has stopped in. Last I heard he was in Mumbai for the monsoon to help his relatives who can’t swim get across the river. Then he travelled to hill station to do snowboard and his sister Jaya make good goat. His cousins own the Dunkin’ Donuts in tobyhanna. Plenty of Boston cream when Rajeev is in town.

No. There's no step 4. Glad you got jokes though

No, I think he's doing snowbord on his Burton snowbord at the ski hill station in Mumbai with his sister Jaya Singhhai.

Snow Sat. night>sun? Anything have a base for it to land on?

Looked pretty busy on the webcams. I prob won’t be back out to Thursday AM…

they say whatever they want. when they're wrong it's just "oops, mother nature threw us a curveball"

The one map says 64% chance of 4” Or more Saturday.

Can we change it to “Snowball throwing only allowed at people not moving and blocking Shuttle”? Two birds, one stone kind of thing That must be what the backpacks are for. I always thought they were just being cautious of avy danger

What gets us are the actual empty Twisted Tea boxes under the lifts. How do you carry a box that size onto the lift? Its also just laziness on the drinkers part to not wait for the dumpsters instead of just tossing them when/wherever.

Matt edge is gonna climb over that little mountain over to Dirtwolfs house one of these days.

Pic taken at 8:30 this morning from summit lot where the hang gliders launch from. The arrow marks the very tip of the cell tower on the hill across from blue. bumpers formed a line on lower main on right side. Was good for 42 minutes

I'll keep it positive. Lapping coming soon has been fun and the snow is good

Just got back from a short afternoon session at Blue. I was suprised how well they are making through. Big sugar humps on the Nile Mile and Main Street, leg burning but fun. The park is holding up well and I think they got this. Rumor from talking to some employees is they are all scheduled through the upcoming mid week and I assume school groups are starting. Looks like they can make it through by the skinnof their teeth with the guns firing up Monday night and onward most nights.

So F’n fed up with Groundhog Day skiing!! Deep sugar piles everywhere where making things challenging for everyone, especially beginners as we watched many of them face-planting all over Coming Soon. Right side of Midway had a short little bump run for some fun, but it wasn’t really worth having to run the beginner gauntlet on Vista and the choke at the bottom of Main. So many close calls…

Spent 25 minutes in the bathroom mid session ferociously scrubbing the grease off my jacket that got on it from the lift. As annoyed as I was, I got about 98% of it off. Went to the hand dryer to dry the jacket off and got dirt from the wall on it…more scrubbing ensued smh. Eventually got it clean and all seems to be well. Worried the waterproofing on that particular area is now shot. @toast21602 has been through this

Got there late with the boys for their forst go of the year, went to get on the super six and Thing 1's pass wouldn't scan. Sent Pops and Thing 2 on ahead, they were already through the gates and went in to have it fixed. Took about 15 minutes with about 4 parties in front of us so wasn't too bad. It took the rep like 8 tries to get it working though, so I was sure mine wouldn't be working when we got back out though, since we have the same name all all, I expected so.e sort of fuckery but it was good. Went up and spotted Pops gettin on the Vista lift as we went up so waited for them at the top. Decided to lap Vista a bit instead of running Burma, so the boys could get some turns in at least. Did thst like 3 times and then took them over to the Summit school carpet where they ran laps for 45 minutes or so while we sat and watched and had a drink. Skied down Burma to get back down to the lot, definitely sugar piles all over the place, but coverage was at least there even in the corners. And it wasn't toooo crowded 🙄: 20231230_111927.mp4 Took the long way home and took them to McDougal's in Walnutport to make up for such a crappy first day and that one still has a PlayPlace so all in all a pretty good day for them. Likely out on tomorrow, so Happy New Year all!

kinda thought today was gonna be real bad. it wasnt too bad. but Coming Soon was the star of the show, and thats kinda it. lower main was bombed out by a little after 9. i think they will make it into monday with similar conditions and similar skeet spots. Who knows what next week will bring.

I made my first jump turn of the season through the bumpers standing at the top of Coming Soon..BenM saw my agility..yes I’m an agile mofo except crossing streets and in bathrooms in ski boots.. I really didn’t want to go skiing today..but I was still happy I went and will go tomorrow…and then prob gonna go on NYD…it’s impossible to get Herpes if you don’t go out on NYE…

Shadows stop trolling. You know me I get by with a little help from my friends, I get high with a little help from my friends and I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Don't get it wrong, it was different today but it was the best skiing of the year. You missed it.

Snow surprisingly locked up overnight and made everything firm and fast. However, wherever a snowmobile had gone over the snow, it was soft underneath. @tarponhead showed up and lapped everything with him until the legs gave out from the soft snow on Coming Soon. Sun was out most of the morning and it was warming up fast. However around noon clouds rolled in and it began to drizzle and continued to do so while we drank beers in the lot. Vista was absolutely nutz going through there mid morning with all the beginners and crazies intermingling to try to safely navigate the mayhem. On down towards the Vista lift, there's now just a WROD funneling everyone into tight quarters which made for some jocularity. Midway was nice later, but trying to get through the Vista debacle didn't make it worthwhile. Lower Main is hurting and it'll be interesting just how wide it'll be tomorrow after the sun and traffic today. They could push some snow down from upper Main. The connector under the super six is perhaps an 1" deep now and will need some help to stay open, but who knows from where they'll get snow for that. Coming Soon was ROTD after it softened up. There was a beginner girl at the top whining to her friend she couldn't make it down because it was too steep and that she was gonna die, to which I asked her if I could have her goggles then. We told her to just traverse and she'd be fine. We didn't see her again. Upper Paradise is done, stick a fork in it. Lower Paradise is also in need of snow as a part of it is barely 1" deep and will probably be dirt by the end of today. There's pretty much nowhere to get snow so that'll be real interesting if they can't keep that open. Gonna be a fun weekend!

Bought a big broom.

These are supposed to be the number 1 seller. beaver nuggets.
