I might take the boys tubbin tonight. I have to get Grayson up there to get his pass activated, so figure maybe take a few runs there while we're there.

Saturday for sure. Maybe an evening session tomorrow. Sunday if it's not pouring.

I wasn't joking, at least earlier I could see at the very top of the tubing cam the tell-tale cloud that meant they were making snow on Paradise and presumably Coming Soon. Really hoping they can add those to the terrain for this weekend to spread traffic around so the other two roots don't get so beat up

The more important cam, IMO

Closed tomorrow, planned reopening Friday.

Y'all buried the lede! Dumpster on Opening Day?!? 🤩🤩 You're my boy, Blue!

Yeah, but blackouts are an issue for me trying to get the boys there, because all the days off school are the blackout days! 🤣

Would be a good deal to take the boys to a mountain other than Blue. But have to figure out a weekday to take them that isn't blacked out

Surprised they are running the quad instead of the OG6 with Paradise off the menu. Riding the quad means having to ride down Tuts, accross connector to Vista to get to open terrain.

Pretty sure the spots right in front of the lower lodge are going that way too. But not paved yet. Bet our row gets even more popular.

Pretty sure it is, you could see that dead spot in Dirtwolf's pic too, right above where Midway comes in. I think the guns are on at the very top, the flat run over to Lazy, and in the one pic it looks like you can see the guns on upper Lazy firing. So if they are hoping to have Lazy open, it makes sense they would need Tuts all the way between the sixes.

Opening time will be a big factor for me. If they do for some reason open at 8, I'll be up for open for a few laps before I have to run to watch kids jump on trampolines. If it's 9 or later as I expect it will be an early afternoon session for me.

Sounds like a Peppridge Farms

I might get killed if I come up for Saturday. The wife scheduled Thing 2's birthday party at Skyzone for Saturday morning, and I have a feeling it'll be a bad time for me if I tell her I'm going skiing that morning. So, see you guys Saturday.

We need a "Buy Dirtwolf a Drone" fund, lol

Edit - New posts made this superfluous, lol

It's kind of odd, on the slopsode cam you can catch occasional snowclouds that make it look like they are blowing on Burma, but they aren't blowing on Vista or even the crossover from Come Around, so it would be puzzling that the would bother with Burma. Unless those clouds are from all the way down on Valley School.. Maybe they're just in one of their common inversions

Even have the older tower stick guns going on Main St. I don't think they want to be wrong (amd postpone) twice if they can at all help it

@saltyant we're going to need a flyover with pics focused on Paradise and Coming Soon about Tuesday. Thanks.

I think those are flipped. I would bet KSL looks at Blue as complementing their crown jewel of Camelback, if they're taking that sort of look at things. Just take a look at the lifts both got last year. The only reason that they have their opening day set for 12/15 is because of their instance on opening the lookers right part of the mountain first, so they need more night of snowmaking to cover all the concrete and the lazy river. PASR operates in a blue colored echo chamber, but I think that outside of here and the other Blue Mt passholder diehards the majority of the ski community as well as the General Public considers Camelback the superior resort. Or would, if they considered them at all. I know I would rather ski at Blue, but if I had to pick one to own or invest in, as they sit right now it would be Camelback by a mile.

To be fair, I don't really know if these are for parking booths/gate arms. Right now there just 2 separate curb "islands" with underground conduits installed. But from the positioning perpendicular to the two parking lot roads and the section of lot they have roped off, it sure looks like a preferred parking section right in front of the lodge is emminent. They also appear to have moved a bunch of the metal poles they string the ropes between to form the rows. There was a small Bobcat with an auger attachment tooling around and many poles were in clearly freshly drilled holes.

They've got a good start on the parking tollbooths.

Without a crash. You put some respect on that stat.

God love 'em, the snow cone machine is still out there spittin' like @GrilledSteezeSandwich when the karaoke machine comes out. https://springmountainadventures.com/webcam/

Hope they get those chairs off the new 6 and under cover on the storage rails soon so they don't get all iced up in the blizzard!
