Tonight is really really nice. Chalk pretty much everywhere. Fat flakes falling from the sky. Just a beautiful evening out on the mountain. Snow just makes everything better

Cant wait.

Made it up with my Valentine’s dates for 6-8 and a stop for dinner. Tried to get in Slopeside at the bar high tops but they said it was a 30 minute wait. Ended up at Last Run Lounge with loaded tots and a chicken cordon blue sandwich. Light crowds and snow wasn’t completely frozen solid so it was a good time.

Lots of room tonight

Top notch night sesh. Its 8pm and the lines are still kinda long. Snow is excellent

I'm bringing a chainsaw just in case and will be doing so for all future snow days.

Hopefully it won't be busy this weekend so they will only need to run 2 lifts, or maybe even 1

Recipe for a shit-show...

Evening session 4:30 - 8 everything good some fantastic, many repeats... except Lower Main which was choppy. Pleasent suprise that Lazy had held up and was an 8.5/10. Challange fast and predictable all the way down. Been a while since i skied under the lights and was suprised at how good I was able to pick up terrain and surface conditions...imagine how good it will be if they ever get around to replacing the rest of the old HPS with LED. Thought for sure there would be an after-school/ after-work wave given the big dump but it never materialized, mostly ski on or at most 2 - 3 chairs wait. guns still blasting on Sidewinder and Switchback, as well as the fan guns most everywhere they had them. Going to get some more this weekend.

Yeah quad only on Saturday would be rad..you can get everywhere from the quad

really its just gonna up the level of the shit show. its already gonna be a shit show.

was that an option for the early bird? im a fan of payments with no penalty. Indy pass does it.....its like $35 a month.

Seems like it gets earlier and earlier every season.

Season passes for 24-25 go on sale 2/20…I miss the days where the early bird season pass price was until November.

Love me some blue mountain spring sunsets

Spent a valentine's day evening with @Mixilplix...conditions on some trails were good, others were icy. Timberline was fun...not crowded at all

I first came to Utah in 2000 with all 30 some members of my family and for at least a decade straight a group of us came every year so I for sure will always have massive rose colored glasses for Mormon adjacent skiing. I left Newark yesterday at 7am Est and was skiing at 1245 MST. They got 5 inches the night before and no one was home, so I ripped the big dog groomers where fun and low effort intersect. Keno, Tycoon, Naboob they have endless fast interesting medium pitch groomers served by endless high speed lifts. I had to be back at the airport to pick up family members but I racked up 17 runs of by far the best snow I've skied all year. We went Thai from in town and I ate mad Penang curry and passed out fat and happy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was supposed to snow like an inch overnight but we woke to it nuking and six inches on the ground. Massive, wet, PNW like flakes it was most definitely very un-Joseph Smith like. My brother and I were out the house early on a mission to get Steins untracked, we found 30% water, mariana trenching snow. It's kinda windy windy and the snow is coming down 2" an hr kinda hard so vis is negative ray Charles on the skate from the top of Wasatch. I can find it in my sleep but I almost end up down Powderhorn it's all just white. All my money is on finding the pines on the left before the first headwall. The wind is coming over the back and left side will be plump if I can find some vis. Left side trees show up right before my luck runs out and bam its on. Boot deep chunder turns, where the snow comes off in sheets. My brother who was 15ft behind me is who the fuck knows where, you still can't see shit but I'm not stopping. , Where it's normally hot to trot its all straight down the fall line and you can jump off everything........ Best run since I went to the pnw and I still can't see anyone out. Peeps did eventually show up but until 1pm or so we did nothing but untracked........... Easy right off Ontario bowl nobody home, all of lady Morgan except the green nobody home, pretty much anything in the woods nobody was home. My brother claimed best sleeper day since the Pow Mow days. It was the sloppiest snow I've ever seen in UT and it was so, so, so much fun. Dinner was low key Italian from the place at the St Regis top golf because we ate mad seafood at Rime for lunch. All of my pics look like the second one just white and trees but my brother got one of me later in the day so you know I'm not joshing.

Still here. Still good. Probably closing up shop Was hoping for side. Closed unfortunately

Skied from 915-130. I didn’t feel the lift lines were that long, we use the season pass line, and I felt it was helpful. Nice snow conditions all day. I guess all the weekenders will get rid of all the cookies on Switchback and Sidewinder for us folks that ski during the week. 😎

Really good conditions at BC tonight....They produced some product last night,so there were some decent sized piles here and there...and It's kinda cool they let you ride on them while they drain....Big school night...Couple of times the line stretched..Even the stoner college kids runnin the lift were helping fill chairs....Coverage wise they are back in the game for a lil while...But still need to do some work here and there for a solid base...Fun evening..

No. They were just setting up ropes inside the Main St lift corral as I left.

Will be away so out all three says. I’ll be there tonight however.

Sunday for sure, maybe Friday night since my kids are asking about it.

Let me know when Patroller's Way opens. That's when I'll start taking them seriously.

Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon

For Sat AM. At least it aint gonna rain.

Hey All, I’m back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830 and it was sunny with a temperature of 27 degrees with moderate winds. In the house were Atomic Jeff, C1er and the Bethlehem ford crew. I started on the quad which began about a minute late and had about a five minute stoppage halfway up the first ride. First run I skied Challenge and it was a carpet. Any thought of wet snow refreezing and becoming firm was out the window. It was true packed powder. Second run on Main street very nice similar conditions but a little slow. Nightmare to dreamweaver was super good, better than challenge. Liftlines of a few minutes formed real fast on the quad which a shorter wait for the super summit safari six pack. The OG six was not running. I skied my first razors of the year and super good a few iffy grooming spots with a hole on the far lower skiers left. I skied razors three times and skied another Main Street which had a few slick spots exposed. All in all a fun session but with lifetimes and a few other lift stoppages was a super slow pace with 7 runs in 76 minutes. I might be back Friday AM if not then ski everybody Saturday. I’ve been watching ticket sales and Saturday could be a sellout.

might be more of a powder on a donut.

I see Friday night snowfall chances in the hourly forecast. Would be rad..a little icing on the cake.

Quick test last evening of an easily accessible and relatively smooth "backcountry" PA line not too far from Blue with @mute1080 @Dirtwolf and @mbike-ski. Topped out at near 18 degrees, so figure middle of Paradise? Maybe?

Got the XC skis out along the D&L yesterday morning after a work meeting. Quite lovely and really enjoyed how peaceful it was with the quietness of the snow and nobody around.

I had some work to do in the morning, but the leg felt pretty good after yesterday, so I decided to stick to the plan and do a couple lower mountain runs followed by some mid mountain runs to ease back into it. I got out on snow about 1 today and went about an hour and a half to 2 hours on 7 runs. Mostly went off of Bravo and Gatehouse lifts. Only 7 degrees colder today than yesterday, but a huge difference in snow consistency. Yesterday was corn and today was more sugary. There were plenty of sugar piles and icy spots to be had, but for not having any natural snow in a week plus, I thought the conditions were standard for February in New England. There was a good crowd for a Monday. Trails of the day surprisingly were Downspout/Domino Chute and Valley House Traverse. The traverse, while relatively flat, was pitched well with snowmaking this year and wasn’t skied off due to the pitch. I stopped in the middle of it and still made it across with plenty of speed. Quite an enjoyable little section with a great view. All in all, a great day, and tomorrow I’ll try to make it to the top and test the leg out on some t2b runs. I guess I’ll stick with the PT and home PT. It’s made a huge difference so far. Pics below:

It’s been a tough year on the snow so far. Lots going on personally, and I’ve been dealing with a nagging injury that finally de-compensated and required PT. We had some water damage this summer to our place in VT that I had to come address, and the leg was feeling better, so I decided to get out on the snow a little while I was here. We split the drive over 2 days, so we didn’t get into Sugarbush yesterday until around 3 PM. It’s been 6 weeks since I rode last and I hadn’t tested the leg, so I figured getting out on snow for a few runs on the lower mountain would be a good test. I pulled a Joey move and threw the snow pants on over the jeans, went with the old PLB, and got on the Village Lift at about 3:15. It was the end of the day so most of the crowds had dispersed. 42 degrees at the base and an early corn harvest. I did one run each of the “distinct” runs off the Village lift for 3 runs total. The leg felt pretty good overall. It was good to be back out. The goal is to get out today after lunch for a couple hours and at least get to mid mountain for a few runs. Here’s some pics:

i have always wondered why when they have the lights on, all of them are on, yet they are blowing on main street. Im not like a super cheap guy, but when i get home i dont turn on every light i have, just cause.

I think the “tuss” rhymes with “bus”……tUS-ssy. Although I do like badonkadonk mountain. I’d ski there.
