A crap ton fell over the past 24 hours too
New fuel filter, air filter and spark plug for the backpack leaf blower. Blow leaves, mulch and blow mulch off the lawn every other day. Sour gum trees coming down now. Was clean yesterday.

Thanks for this tip! We got an 8lb maul and husband is killing it. We had a good system going this morning, he would split large rounds in half w maul, then I would split with axe. After an hour I said I would be happy to just do the stacking. The lumberjack workouts are hard. 😂
I like to use this once the rounds are split in half.

Why does the bear cross the road?
To get in front of my camper. Fortunately, he turned around when he heard my brakes lock up.

Sneaky snowstorm today. Mountains 7-14” forecasted. Boulder was just supposed to be rain. It’s wet heavy snow. I’m gonna be an inside cat today.
Coming back from Sacramento on 80. Heading thru SLC today and hopefully they will open 80 in Wyoming by the time we get there. Donner Pass:

ORDA keeps their pricing at last year's level - making it a more attractive option as others are raising theirs.
The passes with no holiday blackouts (the only ones I would consider are)
Belleayre 669 adult, 369 20s, 339 teens, 239 youth
All ORDA 859 adult, 699 20s, 439 teens, 339 youth
And they throw in the rest of this year and summer activities and buddy tix
So for the 3 of us it would run $1547
Not a bad price for that, but it means at least a 6 hr r/t every time we ski meaning we generally do all overnight trips. Will pay a bunch in gas/tolls/lodging.
From what I see, Epic doesn’t have that spring skiing add on for new pass holders?

Got some nice runs on an empty and perfect Switchback (except for one thin part visible from the lift) until about 10:15 when everyone found it.

I was up pretty quick, no yard sale this time. I have a black front, green back helmet, and my son’s old Leki race poles.

Really nice day. The new 6 pack was down, so it kept the crowds off of Switch and Main. Less powder on those slopes, an inch or so, so they must have groomed later than the east side. Think they expanded the bumps.
Big PSIA certification day, so large groups on the slopes, they didn’t cycle thru the lift too often, so the lift line wasn’t too bad They did cut up the powder pretty fast though. The ski patrol was very nice and stayed to the very edges on their pre check, so fresh slopes for first run. Headwind up top
Got there early, first in line and second chair behind stickered blue helmet guy. All set for second tracks down razors, when I hit some wind blown cord just before the lip and then buried my tips in a freshie pile and did a face plant😂 Good thing about being a geezer is that it is funny as it’s happening rather than after the embarrassment wears off. Still got tracks in the first dozen.
Appreciative jlaw and DiMe didn’t spray me as they went past, but that would have taken too much time from hitting the slope, so it probably wasn’t out of their goodness of heart.

Nice morning, first chair on quad and first tracks (other than ski patrol) down Razors. Good condition. Nightmare getting a little tough. Spent most of the day on the new 6 pack.
All slopes were nice, got softer but never mushy as the morning on. Not crowded, no lift line. Geezers out in force. The bathroom before opening always reminds me of that movie scene from Trading Places, except with us geezers instead of young traders.
Brown spots are creeping in, kind of like a zombie take over.

All slopes were pretty nice, but Switchback and Razor’s were particularly smooth and fast. Very light crowd, think a lot of regulars are off on trips.

Only complaints are that people only load 3 or 4 to a chair even when it is busy, and it comes almost to a complete stop when unloading, so you can’t jump off of it early with some speed like you can the quad and Challenge Express (although I noticed today they packed snow at the front of the unloading platform so you could hop off a couple of feet early with a little bit of speed). Also the limited area at top (and bottom) tends to collect a crowd. Comfy chair though, and I like the spring assist bar

Blue has one of the largest snowmaking systems in the northeast and @saltyant was saying the snowmaking ponds are full of water.
I saw they were salting razors edge on Friday to harden the slope. From what I can see, when the salt melts a pound of snow, it can lower the temperature of an adjacent 9.4 pounds of snow by 14°F. FWIW.

Amazing how many slopes they can cover when they don’t do the tubing area full blast.

You can blame me. First time I bought a brand new pair of current year skis since 1981.

Lest we forget what the webcam doesn’t show any more.
Coming down past the pumphouse from Freefall, smelled a whiff of diesel exhaust. Hopefully getting ready for tonight. Must have been clear skies last night, because the slopes really firmed up for this morning. The low at home was only 37.-

$290 pass for Mountain Creek not even remotely tempting even with 1000 vertical feet 105 minutes from my home. Have never had a great ski experience there though I gave it half a dozen shots when it was 45 minutes from my home. Eventually figured out the (no longer open to the public) place less than half the size and half the price a mile away was way more fun.
Hidden Valley? I skied there a couple times, very mellow and nice compared to Vernon Valley/Great Gorge.

Clearing up just as I’m leaving. 😞

Foggy top and bottom. Light mist. Smooth and soft slopes. Very quiet. Both six packs going, quad closed.

I haven't heard of ham radio, is that like being a Rush Limbaugh big cheese figure or something of a more culinary taste.... either way, I'm glad he's still out there breathing.
What is this generation coming to? Re-read your Tom Swift novels.
Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

El Niño could be a spoiler this winter. Strong one predicted this year and a NOAA blog post showed a historical snowfall map of El Niño years. Hopefully we get some cold snowmaking weather.
