  1. The snow today was calling to stay out and ski but the crowds made it impossible. So much would be improved if they just stood around elsewhere. Maybe instead of right in front of the corrals you moved over 20 ft but that's probably wishful thinking. Upper main was a carpet just do whatever you want skiing mid was like wtf and lower was ok. Lazy and dis were very good but they get so slow in good snow. Coming Soon the headwall still has primo grip but is still so ratty. Major props to gss for the mtn dew, no one I know agrees but it's just hyper refreshing post ski and to beer Jesus for the double hook up. I'm going to have to gift you a domestic servant and one of the good ones from Indonesia to begin to return the favor. I'm cautiously optimistic for tomorrow but another groom never hurts and hopefully everyone went today.
  2. I was in a line of 18 cars coming over the hill at 703, gonna be a samarai showdown https://youtu.be/zGV9mwwqdVA?si=Ec4pkof4Ktuq5L4x
  3. I totally agree, it should be like 2nd in the rotation, Vista, main st and come around
  4. Mad props for navigation, that's like trying to slide rails on the OC boardwalk
  5. Just keep it on Come around, then you have a dedicated run and there is plenty of space to hike a rail or you can just run the goofy ass Vista chair. Add in Lower Side and what used to be the half pipe trail but keep whatever its called open to go to the lift
  6. They should be able to adjust it for you in like 5 mins. Basically read the values and adjust the screws but then you know your golden too. Pivots are always a little weird but I've never heard of boot gloves effecting them. The screws can't be adjusted with the heal down so its not like you can do it by accident either. Old Soli bindings had a forward pressure screw on the wings that would back out over time so all the sudden you couldn't stay in but I've never heard of them getting tighter though that kinda makes sense for pivots as forward pressure is never as straightforward as lots of other bindings.

    Today

    It was the first year, they would always be yelling at me and my cousin and threatening to pull our passes. We would explain it to them endlessly and show them our park skis and shit but they had zero clue and just kept repeating the rule. In all the things I've seen at blue that was the dumbest, 99% of people at that time had zero clue and would just case the shit out of every table top. Truthfully I had only learned a bit before that from some like 7 year old kid who threw down at Mt snow when they left the x games parks open to the public.
  8. Your forward pressure is too high, flip both heels up and using a big Phillips or number 20 pozi if you have one, turn the screws on the arms left. You can see them move and there is little markings on the arms to keep it even. As you go around you'll feel it turn 1/4 or whatever at a time. I would start at 2 or 3 turns on both sides and test. You can theoretically get one full size out of the arms but only if it was mounted on the extremes of the arm adjustment otherwise it's more like half The way to know with pivots is the gap between the heal piece and the boot heal.
  9. That's the one right at 22 and MacArthur? Since I was a kid I always wanted to say there, the comedy club looks trashy AF I bet it's a great time
  10. Rode this morning with AS, JfDan and nick. Roads are way too clean so kinda busy first thing. Maybe an inch at blue or more, there is 3 or so in the ding so I'd imagine there is more on the way for blue. Conditions as you would expect are mostly excellent, lazy and dis are set it and forget it though lazy is a little slow. Coming Soon the headwall again was a bit ratty but super grip to let them run some. Upper main is very good though as you move down it gets firmer and more washboardy. I didn't ski Widow after yesterday but JF said it still needs more time. They hadn't finished pushing razors so none of that was open. Blowing on NMDW, le chute and maybe Challenge though I only saw the top gun on. Tomorow should be le tits assuming it isn't overrun by front platers and all of Delco.
  11. I wondered if the new stuff was generally better protected, honestly I didn't believe them at first when they told me so much of it is outside and not even like in an enclosure. I can't imagine an sulfuric acid plant in the winter, some of those places look straight out of Soviet Era Russia
  12. Major props, I think I would go to DV or PC on a new hip
  13. My recollection is you called it rasins ledge in a report or maybe in the lot

    All the way to midway, when I rode the quad nmdw didn't have anything but maybe I missed a whale up top

    Today

    Rode today from 905 to 11, dudes on the lift said Blue doesn't want to pay the day rate. Seems dumb to me but who knows, they did turn the yellow fans on at 1030 pretty much everywhere. Snow was not as good today, too much blowing made for some hard stuff and cookies. Upper main was glacial from the start but about 1/3 down it went to a carpet. Lazy and dis continue to be very good. They opened Widow though it was a hilarious field of cookies and glacial. Coming Soon was rotd as the headwall was ratty but had perfect grip to let them go. They were working on pushing out razors and had come around pushed out but not open. Someone on the lift said switch is next but take that with a big grain of salt. Good day and with some natural tomorrow am could be very good.....now all I have to do is get out of work

    If I remember right he was the only one with game, little nick told me was full play on player. Many moons ago I saw Doug work his magic at a bar in kop, its just like skiing if you underestimate him its to your own disadvantage.

    Today

    Damn, I figured today would be perfect after it got more time and another groom. It's been a bit since I've been there but the little bit steep one skiers right is le tits when the snow is good.
  18. Fucking stoke ! I'll preface this by saying for the boarders I'm sorry they don't let you ride there, to be fair alot of the stuff worth skiing would suck on a board but still. I love to ask people what they think about Alta because it's the fastest question to know what they are all about. DV peeps for the most part don't like Alta, the other day when they had a 4hr redsnake up LCC all the ikons went to the bird which in some ways is a more challenging mtn but critically more comfortable. (Tram not included ) Alta is for skiers, actual skiing, not taking pictures for the gram in a 4k Goldberg, you can get beer and shit but they don't have signature cocktails. There is no spa or 100000 endless real estate scams. All of the good shit you gotta work to get their and nobody is going to help you find it. The true Alta peeps are god damn Billy goats, a 85 year old dude will make you reconsider how good of a skier you think you are as he's faster on the traverse and downhill. It's insanely beautiful, the opposite of telluride/Silverton which I still say is number one in the lower 48 but you get up on high rustler and sup is all big and gnarly in your face, the sun is going down behind the mtns perfect picture frame view all the way down to the valley. You either get it or you don't and every true skier, the givers, the adventurers get it........ the nipple deep diamond dust that falls out of the sky seemingly constantly doesn't hurt but they are right it has a soul in an increasingly soulless ski industry.

    I had to actually go to work today so super nice to hear they are blowing nmdw
  22. Insurance ? They turn them off right at 7am no matter what they are doing which says to me insurance said keep the lights on until daybreak and we'll take x off your policy.
  23. Delmarva Power is considerably higher in a tiny, completely flat state that almost always has better weather. We are lucky in that we have a shit ton of installed capacity, we also produce alot PA is second to Illinois if I'm not mistaken. Some places out west are insane and TX is the absolute dumbest, worst system ever invented. It's like 3 to 4 cents more expensive than PA and it doesn't even work.
  24. What's crazy is PPL is one of the cheapest right now, pretty much anyone who isn't Kentucky is 20$ higher per mw https://www.pjm.com/about-pjm/learning-center/price-ticker.aspx
