I hate that feeling, like shit brain if we don't go to work sometimes we can't go skiing at all lol I'll be up Thurs should maybe have something else open.

Rode with Atomic, cold but with the sun and no wind it was fine until the very end of the run. Dis was excellent, hard and fast you could really make some turns and it was pretty empty being 9 degrees and all. Coming Soon was a bit dark af but while a bit harder and crumbly than dis most excellent turns were had and it's always nice to go actually fast. Midway main was actually dark and while light years better than Saturday it still was a bit crumbly but still full speed. It's super nice out there and very mid winter like condition. Good news is they blew big piles on Raceway, upper lazy, come around and medium piles on upper main. All go. Bad news is everyone wondering why they aren't full on donkey Kong peep the ponds. Word is we are Qatar and short on water. Hopefully they still got some left for falls, that lower lazy turn is weird.

12/6/25….day two..just another day skiing Paradise
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
I almost wasn't ready for making good turns so early in the year but it was super nice there was something good to ski. Chute was slick af and midway/main definitely was a more classic blue condition, hopefully the peeps work it down from grapefruit to peb sized. I got a late min call and I have to go to DE to make cookies tomorow so hopefully I guatanteed you guys a good condition. -
Best opening maybe ever, most openings is just knocking the rust off but this one you could actually make turns in the non cookie snow. Was awesome seeing everyone

Crystal will not be open this weekend but blue is, Monday night will be super good for blowing.

The ski club peeps still use them, I have a big Lange back pack style that I only put boots in on the way back but I almost never use it as I think I have ptsd from the ski tote. Inside you have to be half naked to not sweat your ass off.

When was the last time that was even possible ? I feel like they were charging for a decade or more....
-
I've been on the reverse side of that too but I agree they won't check until it's time to go..... on another note I had to buy a boot bag at the end of last season as I had hurt my arm and couldn't carry them. When I opened it today I found a sweet vanta black cookie that had been stewing for months growing a full on mold metropolis and half a cart.

That's pretty good I think considering it's pre Christmas and all that. Conditions will always be pretty shit first day but that's all part of the fun I'd say. Real question do the lifts run reliably ?

December 5th-7th opening weekend roll call!!!
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
I'll be there, Vista, Burma and dis isn't bad for only a short blow -
Just a psa for anyone pondering a Jay trip, three of my friends were up and long story short they are way way behind on lifts and couldn't run shit for pretty much the entire weekend. Allegedly jet only ran for a total of 10 mins and you mostly spent your day waiting in line for a lift that isn't running.

We got like a quarter inch so far and all the good moisture is in md.
-
Rain snow line will be key but anything other than now casting is an educated guess.
-
I was in the Netherlands for a thing with a guy in a place for the last month so my judgment is bogus but I think they go Friday with Vista and something else. I didn't recall what I did with my pass at the end of last year and when I called they were adamant that they are opening Friday.

I'll bring it to the party, your work is good, I like all the color.....there is a sexxy red one I saw too that I'm sure is also yours. -
Alas the mighty Element has died......it was more of an assisted suicide thank you NJ motorsports park. While I was getting this baby ready for the wrecker I found a Jesus necklace in the winter snacking compartment. While it screams teenager and one of my daughters friends if any of you lost it let me know and I'll get it back to you at the party. PS. I'm taking any good recommendations for fun, interesting winter vehicles..... this will be car 4 right now so no lambos.

I remember why I never want to leave this place. We went Buttermilk first thing as its their closing with the fresh snow and like 4 people there it was absolute pinch me shit until 11 or so. Crazy views of Pyramid, super sun and perfect temps with untracked to your hearts content. After tie hack was tracked out we over to west and found even more. When you found a line you liked you could just go back move 5ft over and ski it again. Buttermilk is super meadowskippy but we skipped the fuck out of the meadows and it was glorious. Around lunch I went to visit the queens of slay at Snowmass, it was super nice to catch up with Barb and Snowmass is staying open until 6. I skied mad laps and am eating a cheesesteak at Zanes but I'm gonna go back out and ski for 2 more hrs. My arm is still all janky though improved, putting a jacket on is more a seductive stripper like move but none of it matters. Beam me the fuck up, I'm never leaving the mothership.

Crazy melt up there but Tom stuff is the best stuff

I talked to a lady patroller on the gondy who had awesome stories about the traverse out there which makes me sorry it wasn't open. Pony was running and that was super good until the afternoon sun really baked it so I definitely want to get back out and hit Mahogany.

I'm skiing buttermilk tomorrow and am in town all week with my brother if you want to take some laps hit me up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After wrecking yesterday I went to the clinic where they pronounced I royally fucked my deltoid which has to be the dumbest injuries ever but I did decide to wash the sand out of my vag and rally at the tbar. The boat was reporting 3 inches new today and with blue skies and warm temps it was a super nice day. I can't really move my right arm at all so while lefty is normal I have to trex righty and hold it up against my body. This brought on much hilarity in things like trying to carry my skis or put my jacket on but it also means I'm no judge of conditions as my wings were clipped. Pow I was super off balance in the transition and just went full straights only, groomers I can only really turn right but fwiw I thought it was super good albeit heavyish snow. The crowds started to show up around noon and I bet the boat can get super crowded but the lines were neglible and I trexed my way down the hill all day with much happiness. For me getting older and having to ski anyway other than how I want is nightmare fuel but I did find even making unbalanced doodle turns at slow for me speeds I still had a great time and enjoyed myself. I'll turn the dial back up as soon as my arm works again but I gotta say I don't fear the reaper so much anymore and I gotta give the boat mad props for that alone.

I skied everything open but I don't pay attention to names so I don't know where I was mostly lol lol I thought the terrain was better than advertised though with low crowds you could really hold speed down the hill which always helps. ‐----------------------------------- I was coming in at the end of the day and did the dumbest, stupidest fucking thing possible. In 30 years of skiing I've never done anything so stupid and that is saying something. Hockey stop pull up to the ski rack and the downhill ski catches and bitch slaps me into the snow. My arm is all janky but I don't think I've ever been so mad at myself. All the fucking skiing I do and I noob beater it pulling up to the rack......absolutely disgusted with myself though up to that point it was perfect spring skiing.
-
Skied eldo yesterday and today at steamboat. 10 inches fell yesterday and nobody is home so super fluff all over. A touch thick by CO standards but absolutely spectacular snow by my standards and everything is skiing super fine. No pressure just ski the pow when you feel like it under perfect temps and blue skies, i hotboxed the shit out of every gondy kinda day. CO Spring Supposed to snow and be windy later afternoon otherwise we'll hit up the t bar. Eating in the thunderhead lodge or something and while super impressive it does seem a fuck you to the wind......let's put a mini skyscraper on the high point of a ridge cut down all the trees and build zero wind blocks.....

Northstar has the Ritz right ? Love that place just for pre ski breakfast alone, one time my family was having a moment but nothing a Ritz breakfast can't solve. Props on the cross country, truckers on 70 were telling war stories about getting caught in the wind a couple days back and it must have been wild.

Late season this year is dipper which will at least be new. Superstar lift was 87 I think which is old even for a blue chair.
