That whole intersection is dumb but they seem to love having the steepest fastest sections of the hill dump out into something dumb.
Coming Soon is prett flat until the bottom pitch which dumps straight out onto their number 1 beginner trail, specifically the corner they most like to stop and scratch their balls in. Lest we forget the most interesting part of side dumps into a multi way interchange as well.
Cutting trails that way is faster and cheaper to bump the count but as Killy and other found out it creates lots of crashes and now they've ripped most of them out.
Ideally Burma would go the other way around the ski patrol building or they remove that issue entirely and have separate lanes back to the lifts. Even more ideally you figure out a logical base area configuration but before that you gotta figure out what to do with the base itself etc etc etc.....this also basically is the same issue with all the roads in the NE.

Was super sweet to get back at it and not work this morning.
I was impressed with how much they got out of last night, I thought pdis may need more time but it's pretty much exactly last weekend.
Guns were on too long and there are some slick spots, down the gut on midway is like wet marble but lower was pretty good.
Christmas week will be mad interesting unless they limit tickets

Damn gotta think of something else for closing day
It's like someone thought you know how a monoski is like if you sucked all the joy out of skiing and made it way more sketchy....what could be even worse than that?

You guys are seriously underselling the hilariousness that is pdis, we were on the 2nd chair behind Oz and it was like a really good Norm McDonald joke, so bad it's like instantly hilarious.
Free fall was rotd, up top was all super low key feel like a king and then kapow half bumps half rando piles and pleebs down in the hole. It's all loose, water down the hill skiing and the bad good is one of the best conditions at blue. Bonus points for the single file luge runout with even more pleebs down in the hole.
Mad props for them having the stones to open dis and free fall no sign. All season when it's minty fresh they have that experts sign but the one time it's kinda approaching it that fucker was collecting dust in the shed.
Today was perfect in it's craptacularness which is what blue is all about

Just how? It doesn't go below freezing all night.
Agreed but experts only fast grass and it does go....ski it like your 17 it's 3am and your sneaking back into your parents house.

I would love to see inside this house.
its stuck in the middle of Okemo, with no winter vehicular access.
Gotta be a real fixer upper with some expensive fixes as that's pretty cheap even for slowkemo.

The difference being the ones at Alta are cool and in big years you can ski right on to the roof of the one coming out of Catherine's.

Lower Burma puzzled me as well with how WROD it was groomed. Kind weird with all the snowmaking hours how it got narrower unless maybe it's some sort of snow preservation strategy
I think they probably lost too much there, it gets pretty flat so it wouldn't surprise me if it was a bit of a lake after the rain. Not enough new snow to make it deep and wide so now it's just weirdly narrow.

Lower lazy has no snow, considering the weather and how narrow lower Burma is pdis would be a Christmas miracle......
Today was super dope, really good weather and crew. Snow was way better than I thought, best snow is on homestretch get out there and farm those noodle turns.
Its currently 56 at my house, its just amazing they are even open at all never mind the endless delusions of grandeur....when is razors going to open ? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Mad props for trying it's gotta be near 40 there.

Looks like the park will remain on Barbs way and we get a fresh build with the first jump of the season!
So I guess we can assume upper mountain snowmaking efforts main street side may have went to Upper Main or potentially Lazy Mile rather than Come Around.
Upper sort of does the same but they really need come around park to split the traffic.
Plus it tends to be a place of congregation which works out for everyone.

I'll be up tomorrow morning and sat/sun....gotta go the blue way expect nothing and you have a chance to be politely surprised.

They made some fast grass last night but I'm still hopeful for upper or something. Just throw up some lollipops and let it rip.... still major props for having the guns on they can't be getting much if anything now

Left this morning when the concrete guys were doing our second pour (on freaking Dec 11th)
Decided to go to Buttermilk today, they just opened on Sat. Parked at Tiehack, booted up and walked 100’ to the lift, amazing! Saw lots of uphill peeps starting from the bottom and suddenly felt very lazy that today was a lift serviced day.
The snow felt a bit better than the other day. Buttermilk is about 2000’ lower than Aspen so coverage seemed thin. Vegetation popping up everywhere. My second run I took another trail and half way down there were lots of brown spots. I was trying to avoid them and then proceeded to eat shit. Looked up where my pole was and saw a nice brown patch I must have skied over, whoops. Never took a lift with anyone, skied right on each time, very empty.
When I got home I ran into the neighborhood snow plow guy (who is chatty). He asked me if I wanted to go to Highlands with him later this week, so I guess I will get to check out that mountain for the first time. It’s always good to be on the good side of the snow plow guy!
** edit food report for Doug**. I made homemade floutas/taquitos and took one for a pocket lunch. Even good cold.
Highlands is one of the best anywhere enjoy !!!!

Did you get to go on space mountain at least?
Negative only was down as my daughter was performing at Epcot. I did ride Guardians which was dope af and velcicoaster which is the best roller coaster I've ever been on.
It was cool but now I would really prefer if it got cold.

They got a dusting which covers up how much they lost yesterday.
Fucking blows to come home to 60 degrees monsoon weather.
Pdis after that shit would be a legit Christmas miracle

I'm in Florida so it should be pretty good tomorrow for sure.

Did y’all do CBI or something. Next time we’re there after 12 should go.
With them closed tomorrow we had to get two days worth of shenanigans in a single day.
I 1000% agree, BMDI, PPH, whatever and CBI has a new dinner menu apparently.
Dirtwolf has eaten at mad places in Palmerton that I've always wanted to eat at but no 1 on my list is Bert's steakhouse.

Today was le tits, good snow and super nice to hang out. So nice I didn't get home until 530 and just woke up from my post skiing nap.
Shame they are closing tomorrow but it does make complete sense.

Rode the night shift with Dirty and Edge, Mute and little boo were also in the house, killing it.
50% gorillas in the mist but it was shockingly good. Midway was a soft field of large lady lumps and the apron had nice smoothness to get the wiggle on.
One of the best openings I think, just a super good night and my lord is the world a better place with skiing.
The beer fairy even left me a ice cold beverage, as good as it gets for December 1st. Cannot wait to do it again tomorrow
