Are you in the Main lodge? If so I can be there in 10 minutes. Taking a break at the hotel

I think Its moderately crowded but still tolerable. They have 3 fixed grip lifts running with hardly any lines. Even the high speeds aren't too too bad yet. Ski2Live is impossible to find.
-
Oh Yeah it's rad. Can't find ski too live.

Ok . S2L get here fast! Holy Wow it's amazing out here today!!!
-
Yeah, I'll be there. I'll be at the Stevenson lift for 8:30 sharp.
-
Nah. Just to get after it as many times as I can.

I should have taken pictures of the groomers. I got to see some real live grooming action up close. Very cool! It always blows my mind thinking about how mountains groom every trail every single night, especially at the gigantic places like Killington.
-
Oh don't worry, I figured that would happen and took this picture below to prove that Camelback performs mid-afternoon grooming. I'm 100% convinced that this picture along with its EXIF data will sell plenty of Camelback season passes for 2018-2019.

When you go to Jackson Hole, are you going to ski all day or call it quits after 2 hours?
-
It's still fun but I no longer have ambition to ski open to close. Plus I've gotten spoiled with freshly groomed runs and no lines or people to dodge, so once it gets crowded I call it a day.

Thanks. That's not a bad picture for a jitterbug phone! I've had a lot of fun skiing on them since buying them a few weeks ago. These are last year's model. The 2018 model has some 3D glass feature, but I think that's just marketing bogus.

Yeah I was fine. I paired up with 3 people in line to sit on the far left, then lined up at the loading line just like the last 600 lift rides this season. I looked back and a young kid sat down right when the lift made the turn, in my spot, and I assumed he would move over to the right. He didn't, so I was half on the lift and yelled for them to stop it. They did and I fell maybe 4 or 5 feet. Then I took my skis off and went home. It just happened so fast and was unexpected, but I wasn't hurt at all. It's scary how fast something like that can happen. If my ski would have hit the ground at a certain angle I could have had a very bad injury. Next time, I guess I'll make sure I line up with people before moving forward in the lift line, just to make sure this doesn't happen again. First Trax was very nice and well worth it. Conditions were great until around, then it started to get crappy out with sugary snow everywhere. Planning on going out again tomorrow for 3-4 hours.

Sounds like Montage really got their act together compared to last year. I think White Lightning is the only black diamond in NEPA that I haven't done now, so I also need to get back there sometime. Glad you got some really nice conditions today.

Uh oh, I hope your signature sunglasses and Shiros turn up soon. I'd be really upset over that and would demand security hologram footage.- 73 replies

Matt Edge should be wondering what wasn't good at Camelback, because everything was just so epic. Lots of fresh cord for FirstTrax and hardly any ice. I stayed from 7:30 to 12:30 and then left right after a gaper caused me to plummet from the chairlift in almost the same exact way eaf got pushed off at Shawnee on 1/6. I knew it was going to be packed today, and my plan to avoid standing in line worked flawlessly.

That's great that you get to keep powder in your thread title. Someone erased the powder tag in my trip report yesterday.

Lmao I should just sit here by the ski check all day listening to angry customers because ski check lost their poles.
