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.

Really nice day up at Montage. Probably the most crowded I have ever seen the place but 75% of the people were on the learning hill. Lots of buses. I thought they started allowing uphill but it was just gapers trying to get off of the harder trails because they got lost. Long Haul was running and I rode that for the first time in my life since it was never open every other time that I have been there. Even thought the lifts there are slow, I can't really complain about the place. The snow was great and the trails are a lot of fun there. Nice to get back there and always a good time. 8.5/10 for a PA day.

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..

My kids had a teacher in elementary school with the last name "Onderdonk". Boy was it a mistake calling her "Mrs. Badonkadonk" within their earshot.

last night was good, true packed powder and pretty smooth. Need some wax though, the natty snow is slow. Did 6 runs in exactly 1 hour which is a pretty good pace for me. headed over to stroudsburg to catch the Tele Colo movie and scored some Platty vouchers in the raffle

If people aren't grouping up on their own in the VIP line, we actively "help" people group up just so the line moves along quicker.

I saw snow in the forecast from a clipper and they are fully open for the first time in 2 years on presidents weekend.....that's a powerful combo of fuckery. They jacked up bcc yesterday at noon, noon on a Thursday wtf Even if I lived here I would still go back to blue a couple days a year. To see everyone for sure but also to keep it real so everyone still knows I'm Jenny from the block.

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

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

I don’t, but thanks.

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

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.

Blue should do fine.

The VIP line was doing so well for a while. People actively making groups of 6 and then jumping ahead of the lift ticket holder line. Once the pairer upper dude left it was the same old mess. Now it's anyone's guess as to how efficient it is going.

Pretty crazy for a Friday. Looks like they are pairing up again. Time to get home for work. JADIP TIG wao

They did until 1130 but now they don't even though there are 2x as many people here now So I'm done for the day, it's a disorganized mess again. Was really nice while it lasted. At least @Schif brought some food

Sounds like something that would be served up at sausage Sunday..

Yummmmmm, southern sliders.

By far

All 3 lifts running and backed up to gates. A worker is pairing people up on the quad which is rad. Snow is mostly 10 out of 10 except Midway is cookies for some reason. Only Stoke stomper is the dang wind from the north which is cutting my speed by 34%

Yeah this is turning into a better season than last year!!!

I think Dirtwolf is there. I have work. Have fun and post a report and don’t worry the people will be arriving soon. Let’s fucking go

Where is anyone??? This is grate. LFG

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. 😎

Good riding with ya....Yea crowds were low and the snow was good.....Colder than I thought it was gonna be....

Hey All, It’s almost Presidents’ Day weekend, is anybody planning on skiing Blue mountain the true mountain this weekend? Looks like winter time temperatures continue. I plan on skiing Saturday and Sunday and maybe Friday and/or Monday. Remember Monday is an 8am opening.

See you in line at the Big Bear 6 @ 7:15 if there is more than 2" in my driveway in the morning. First run on Mariji's!

I would absolutely, positively NOT park at Stevie for 7:30 tomorrow. You'll end up standing there until 8:30 most likely. The only option for first Tr@x is Big Black Bear 6, then migrate over to Stevie around 815.

Yikes. Glad I went to Montage today.

There are a lot of ways one can go with that last name.

It's far easier on the organizer to handle groups of 6 and they tend to just let them go ahead right away.

My hope of skiing this afternoon was quickly squashed when I looked at the web cams. I'll pass on the crowd. From what I can tell, the VIP line at the Challenge lift looks small and only a short wait at least.

? My second year with a senior pass. When I left today at 11, there were probably 50 cars parked across the street. Have an off peak, northeast, senior Epic pass to ski Frost with the wife.

I hope the line for pizza isn’t that long heheheh

Blue is leaving some serious Johnny cash on the table not making today a holiday as all the schools are closed.

Season passholder line is working well. 3 minute wait while lines are almost double backed up beyond the gates. This is grate. That's my boy Bleu!!!

EPAWA called it a "southern slider" and I think it's grate.

sat and sun. found the cone btw.

March is coming like a lion

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

Recipe for a shit-show...

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

For Sat AM. At least it aint gonna rain.

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.

I might do that cause I won’t even notice $100 added to my CC bill each month.

I actually did the payment plan last year. Not a huge upfront spend which was nice.

Lots of room tonight

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

Conditions were awesome this morning. Packed pow everywhere.
