It’s snowing pretty hard. About an inch down so far here. But alas… it’s just another tease as the change over will be happening soon.
Im a little curious as to what my driveway will look like Friday, as i shoveled a path to the car, and just drove off. Im going with it wont all wash away, and it will be a big frozen mass when i get back to it. Plus, there is now what was in the road in front of my driveway.

Keep those fingers crossed. this would be like 4-5 days straight of spraying snow if it holds.
Accuweather kind of agrees. maybe just a touch warmer, but still, these would be the best temps we have seen.

KSL has absolutely no idea what they are doing. Looks like they have 33 properties. 31 of them are hotels, mostly on beaches. Owning Blue and Camelback is just a portfolio diversifier for them. I think they are learning the hard way that it's a way different operation than running a hotel.
Pretty sure KSL and Alterra are in bed together. or Partners. or, really good friends or something. Check it out.
one thing i will say in the positive is, they were spraying snow this morning. Thats a pretty ballsy move considering 2" of rain or whatever. Or, maybe they didnt look at the forecast for today. take your pick.

Can't believe I forgot but they skied EVERYTHING yesterday, every rock infested stump field,every lift line with cinder blocks and spine breaker concrete pads, come around park looks near groomed. It's impressive everywhere really but whatever the one next to midway was literally ridden down to the grass and rocks which I think is my favorite.
Chute? that had the least amount of snow on it of anything for some reason. lol. I dont know if its just me, but im pretty leary about going off trail at Blue until it snows, rains just a little, then freezes. Theres a lot of junk strewn around everywhere at Blue.

I would be interested to know how many Ikon passholders where there yesterday. maybe they need to limit ikon? They definitely had to many people there yesterday.

Only had the quad and MSE on the conditions report today 🙃
Also no Razors
Edit* No Razors listed but apparently it's open, and not groomed.
i've had the condition report open since 6 am, and they definitely did show Raisins being open.
They are probably changing things on the fly as it suits them. lol.
Oh, and its pretty busy there right now, 12 noon. OG 6 is running.
And yeah, like @indiggio mentioned, tons of people complaining about no SP line for any lift.
Hopefully they will use this experience as a learning tool. they have gotten enough shit about it, and i do think its warranted. Lifts should start loading at opening. All of them should be operational, and pretty much ready to go any day, any hour, and its pretty apparent, that hasnt been the case. We have all been there for a day in the past, whether its a powder day, or just a day where there is like no chance they can fuck up the grooming.....and they have lift issues.
its like showing up to Dunkin donuts, and they say they dont have any heart shaped donuts on valentines day. You had 1 job to do.
If i was management, i would be utterly embarrassed over what happened yesterday. Its all on management.

Both 6's are currently running. looks like they are setting up ropes to run the old 6 today. I guess they are working on redemption.

They opened Razors ungroomed? Lolol
Saw one person poach Widowmaker and face planted pretty hard. Not enough snow for that Tomfoolery
I saw posts about it, but didnt know if it was poaching or even legit. I would think that would be a little sketchy. That seems like a move in desperation to try to salvage some other short comings from today.

The poconos in general are a shitshow. Closest mountain outside of the pocono circus is elk.
Which from what i read was also a shit show.
Preliminary reports are that montage and greek are not getting angry FB posts. Day aint over yet though.
saw some ugly pics from JF and huntah.

Some highlight pics from blues fb page. Before they finally opened the OG 6.
and then theres Jacqui, with this epic comment.
Blue should hire her. She seems smart.

Law made the internet
This is the best thing to come out of today! Nothing better than a Jlaw photobomb. This needs to be framed up somewhere.
blue is getting hammered on their FB post. 100 negative, pissed off customers, and that 1 fucking “you're my boy blue” guy. Its pretty good entertainment.
how they thought things were going to go well with 1 lift running is an epic fail. Hopefully they will be prepared next time, cause it was fucking amateur hour at best.
every resort is/was crowded today. Thats unavoidable. But blue needs to get their fucking lifts to run, and honestly, this should all fall on management, not the people that actually showed up and i am sure took it in the ass while management hid inside.-

Guy on the lift this afternoon was telling us he thinks their big secret opening this weekend is Sidewinder. Wild. No blowing on it except Crossover which doesn’t really make sense since Falls hasn’t even been attempted yet.
you sure he wasnt getting confused with switchback? i know i always do.
i wish it took like 12 hrs to open either one of them.

They should give up on Razors and get Widowmaker open. Race team can train on that like the old days.
They did actually start on that the last go around. i figured Widowmaker would be getting the treatment now, as it would take way less to get that open before Raisins.
