I'll be in the lot around 8. Let's go!!!

welp, looks like im a few minutes behind the 8 ball. I'll see you fools Saturday bright and early.

Dude if blue lets BEAR CREEK open before them, I'll be sad.

👀 groomer alert...

It's dat champagne powder everyone is chasing...

I don't think Steamboat gets crowded at all, especially compared to the major Vail resorts. Obviously there is a bit of a confined effect during peak times, since there is nowhere else closeby really for tourists to spill over into, so when the town is full the mountain is full. Plenty of terrain to disappear into though. Up there with Telluride and Crusty Butt. If you want to see crowded, go to Breck on a weekend after 10am.

Even Bear Creek is blowing.

very funny.

samesies. I use the same pass for the bike park, and when I bought my ski pass it stopped working 5 minutes later when I went to use the lift. my expectations are low for it working opening day.

this may very well be the most excited I've been to ski at blue in a long time.

anything is skiable with the right amount of dedication, and disregard to your bases. boulder has some of the best glade skiing in PA with this attitude.

I quit my last job because I was in malvern too much, consulting in hell (vanguard)

I feel an opening next weekend in my loins

I at least try to shut off reality. I'll set my lineup in the morning and then go dark until I put it on. Not a bad strategy though

@theprogram4 this is gonna sound sacrilegious, but I've been into DVR-ing games lately. I never thought I'd get to that point, but my need to go on outdoor adventures can't be limited by 1:00 games anymore. I slam my head into the corporate world throughout the week too much to be locked inside for the 2 days I get to do whatever I want. in other news, some elk stoke....still technically PA....

@GrilledSteezeSandwich what happened to rajeeb?

I mean, I'm not wrong, however, I feel that it's ok

I mean they still have some park, enough to tickle the itch every now and then. top to bottom park runs through sidewinder were nice, but I won't miss it. the halfpipe was pretty much a waste with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 good days mid season and in the spring.

I mean I'll always have those jibhonk roots. Probably just ski groomers most of the time nowadays though, dunno if park will still be a thing for me.

I actually still have that jacket. It's covered in tree sap from when I cut down a christmas tree in the wasatch. Just sprung for some new outerwear though for the first time in probably 10 years, got some hot season leftovers:

trashcan lids were frozen shut this morning, stoke level is through the roof. I hope I can still ski.

God damn it, I got all excited for this. So excited I wore my ski boots after work for 2 hours to get my feet adjusted again. What a let down.

might interfere with the zipline course that goes in the opposite direction of the mountain.

someone probably left their meth pipe stashed in one of the guns. shorted out, delayed the announcement

lets put our thinking caps on. guns get fired up now, snowmaking temps look good all through next week. we get an opening next weekend. temps rise up around thanksgiving, we get an eventual rain, it all turns to shit, we count down the days until the valley opens.
