since I'm getting there late in picked up dessert...and beverages of course

The area we went to in the park was formerly a ski area, closed in the early 90’s. Found an old trail map. We were in the area I circled but have no idea which ‘Trail’ we took down. Will have to pay more attention next time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He's a purple anthropomorphic T Rex from the Land make believe. Before becoming a singer / actor he was a bad ass bump skier in the mold of Johnny Moseley. After losing a few competitions he decided to leverage his other talents (singing, arm swaying and acting) into a potentially more lucrative career. He obtained an agent, hit the big time and the rest is history. In an effort to honor his skiing prowess, Blue decided to name a trail in his honor. Believe it or not he still skis recreationaly at his home mountain in the Land of Make Believe but given time constraints (as you could imagine) his skiing is limited. Post skiing pick of Barney below.

No, that’s a negative. You need to bring something to get back to neutral.

Someone did snap a pic of him one year at the bump comp. as you can see, his gear is pretty basic, and someone mounted is skis a little far back, so he didnt do real well.

I'm in for Sunday. Will probably be there around 11 but better late than never I guess.

Was surprised how hard the snow was first thing....

Telling the lady what to write was a hoot. Figured Salty could have dibs on the piece with the 170 icing.

First civilian chair with Toast, Atomic Jeff, JFDan, Schifdawg and Johnny Law. Some did razors to taint to falls. I did challenge. Snow was firm rattling kind of snow. Lazy and paradise were better with a few nicer sections in the sun. Sidewinder was rough. Crowds were light..absolutely no lift lines and when we already had a full six pack anothe tried to join us. It was around 40 degrees most of the morning under mostly cloudy to partly sunny sky’s..a few snow showers as well which likely dropped temperatures back into the 30s for a bit before the sun took over and warmed things up. Challenge started getting better and better..so I skied that the most..there was still fresh cord after 915am woo cause it was frozen so solid. Skied till about 9:45..was in the lot a solid 3 hours..tons of fun..bounced around chatted with Nastar Glenn and some of his sons homeys and GSSucks crew was a little buzzed so did the smart thing and put my boots back on and returned to the snow around 1. Was a different world out there more casual skiers and riders and hero snow. Skied razors to Razorback which was so good so good which is what some say when singing sweet Caroline. She was a fucking slut. Got the green light to ski a run on Bump course. It was real nice I held my line just fine on my 115 kastles and did a spread eagle on the jump was about the fifth or sixth time I got air today with a few more mini airs later after the jump maybe 4-5 more bumps you could straight line. Said wazup to indiggio for a second then went back to six pack. I then went to switchback which was money..smooth hero snow..then sidewinder which was hero snow a little chop to Hollywood through on last pitch for the people above..falls was nice as well. Did that one more time and then bounced. Was fun and tomorrow should be similar except for more food and drink. JADIP

Barney was Blue mountain founder Ray Tuthills dog. I always used to think that tuts lane was named after king tut but it’s really named after the tuthills. Burma road is after Burma where I believe Ray was in World War Two..

I'll take yer cash, lol

Ordered this backpack. Decided to get a snow specific pack that fits all the avy gear properly. Have a shovel and beacon on order and found a used probe at a local shop. Can’t wait till all my stuff is in and I go out again! Also picked up this book. Lots of good spots in the park when I get more comfortable. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If they ever have Blue trivia I swear I’ll sponsor you. Gets you waffle fries and a coke!

Or kindling. take your pick.

Best thing I’ve seen all day

After tomorrow, you guys won't have to put up with me for 257 days, which is also: 22,204,800 seconds 370,080 minutes 6168 hours 257 days 36 weeks and 5 days 70.41% of 2019

Fruit by the foot.

I’m laughing so hard. Eaf let me guess, you took yodeling lessons in Europe.

Once Toast left it started to get nice. Challenge and NMDW were pretty damn smooth. Could really put the hammer down.

Early morning was solid like a rock. Mid morning was alright and early afternoon was hero snow. Yes there are levels to the shit.

Thanks for starting the report mixilplix. I was not surprised at the hard snow to start. I called it in TNTs thread but when I went back out after a few beers the snow was dynamite and I got to sample the Bump course. Full report to follow in a little bit.

Ahhh that's the famous and rare photo from his very last competition! Legend has it that this was the event that prompted him to give up skiing for show business for good. So much talent, wasted.

Definitely got better later in the session. The first couple runs were just so solid. I got my limited quantity Epic Pass today.

I’m sure the karaoke speaker could be used as an amp.

Went back into the park today. The access road to the area we were going just reopened late yesterday afternoon due to Wednesday’s storm. It was a gorgeous day and we arrived about 10:30 to sunny skies and no wind. The skin up started mellow then got steep. I am still figuring out the best way to go about things and on a particularly steep section I started to slide backwards a bit. Thought I would have more traction if I put one ski into the powder and get it out of the skin track. That was a huge mistake. I then tried to get it back on the track but it seemed harder to do then it should have been. Since my heel was loose whenever I lifted my ski the nose just stayed in the foot of powder. Here is a picture of how ridiculous this was. Overall a great day and I have a lot to learn with the transitions/etc. A well deserved lunch in town after. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Good fun. 13 PM runs with the girls, soft snow, no lines. Annoying that their passes stopped working necessitating 20 min at the ticket window after run 1.

ah - sorry. Guy was dressed in all black and seem to remember a pic of you suited up that way. Have fun tomorrow everyone.

The Jar Jar Binks of mascots.

I have a pink and a purple helmet, two separate not one multi color. I normally dress in pretty bright colors. I have a beard, just yell johnny law or something. If you ever see me just say hi......also we didnt try to put 7 on, some zincy with the biggest gaper gap tried to hop on so he could be with the cool kids. Transformer crew is cool but they aint having creme brule tomorrow. PASR does it legit. Mili I was dressed in purple and had a Miki is a babe hat, I said hop out and say hi

This is great!!! Thanks Ridge, I bet the cake lady was like WTF??

Ok I just put a box in my Sonic. My response should have been that I'm bringing myself, isnt that enough??

This is great! What are you bringing?

Didnt feel like it and saving my energy for the big party tomorrow.

Excited for tomorrow. Always love a good sausage fest with you guys! Get there early for mimosas and don’t forget your chairs!

Of course he is. You mean you have never met Ski2Live? I thought we were the 3 amigos..

Please don't tell me you're the singer

This is great!!

Then you can teach Indiggio how to surf.

Perfect. Bear mogul challenge the following weekend then stick a fork in it

You're a fucking idiot. new page and you're still an idiot.

Why aren't you playing your guitar at our parking lot party? We'll have to book you next year. Anything is better than 311 blasting from the back of Edge's minivan

Love a good winter thunderstorm and rainbow on a 74° day.

I’ll use it on the karaoke machine.

Gotta set aside a bottle of champagne for Mrs. Snowbunski salty Bring enough fruit by the foot for Matt Edge. We wanna make sure he has energy to DJ

Gondola installation. Vail wants it in for next year to be EPIC.
