2 storms lined up this week for hopefully 12+. They desperately need it

I could do that too

The $40 deal is available on the below dates in February

Tbh I always look at that on razors and wonder if / when someone hits it the wrong way what would happen. Sounds terrible and I hope the person is ok. As much as I like the rollers on side. The flat light can really throw someone off there too. Hopefully no one else gets hurt.

Montage… Home of the steepest trail in PA, a retired moose and old forge pizza. Let’s use this thread to find a date in feb that works for the PASRs to visit. For those without an Indy pass there’s a $40 midweek deal. If mid week doesn’t work than a weekend it is. Either way let’s use this thread to make it happen!

FIFY. Montage day 2025 may warrent its own thread.

When's the next day you can do. We can make that that official 2025 PASR day at montage if it works for everyone

I’m planning a midweek montage day at some point in the next few weeks. PASR day anyone?

First runs were really great. Then it turned to crap pretty quickly. Good to see the everyone again. It's been a while with trips etc.

It's good! spring like and consistent throughout. Nice to see the rollers are back on sidewinder! Feels like they're bigger and badder than ever before

No one's here, kinda warm, almost spring like conditions. It's not bad

Def Saturday. Sunday morning I'm helping my brother move.

I'm thinking about going tonight. I wonder how it is. In all likelihood it'll be a ghost town since most schools were closed

I'll get back at some point this week...maybe. not really feeling blue rn. Maybe Thursday.

Hell yeah. Enjoy fellas!

@Barb I successfully climbed a 5.8. not bad for a first tine climber. Was scared as shit the first time up and down. Lol was fun but climbing definitely ain't skiing

Correct…tomorrow morning. I suggested a hike on camelback mountain but climbing is her thing now and really wants me to try it. Barb she tried to teach me the lingo but i don’t remember. lol

Day 3 Woke up to low pressure again on the tire. Loaded the ski gear in my daughter's car. Drove to discount tire at 830. My daughter picked me up soon after got to the mountain around 915 while blasting lil yachti, future, Kendrick and logic for stoke. The tire had a screw in it and they repaired it for free. So glad I did that before heading down 17 back to Phoenix. Another cloudless bluebird day. First run up the grand canyon express, left at the catwalk to find a nice surprise....they dropped the ropes on volcano for the first time this season. The trail itself is groomed but there's a chute off of volcano that is natural. They had a sign marked thin cover and this week's snow fall was waiting. Rode that a few times. also ran another unnamed ungroomed trail near volcano. So some new snow goodness early on. But the theme for today was the bluest of bluebird skiing and primarily soft fast groomers. Not quite as good as yesterday but still a beautiful fantastic ski day where I didn't want to leave but the legs were done. Posted up in Scottsdale now before heading out to eat. Done skiing but what a great few days. I feel really lucky that I came this week. Just hope things turn snowfall wise soon.

Today is fixin to be another bright…. bright… bright shiny day with highs in the 40s. Western groomer city on tap. My daughter is now in town so lord knows when I’ll actually get to the mountain. Anything past 930 and she’s driving on her own. I must’ve had a crystal ball because despite the 9 inches we got this week the drought continues. Northern Arizona has no snow forecasted in the foreseeable future sadly. I really fell terrible for the people here as they love this mountain and love to ski. All of these systems that are coming through (so stoked for the JH crew) are staying north. Something about high pressure systems…idk. But either way I really really lucked out. Gonna enjoy what’s left of the fresh snow and the AZ sunshine today before heading back down south to phoenix. Indoor rock climbing is on tap for tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.

Kinda. My kid and I went to outback steakhouse when I got here. I got the kukaburra wings and the ribeye. She'll be in town later so we may go somewhere if it's not too late. I really want to grab pizza at fratellis which is the bomb dot com (voted best in flag). Last night I did Mexican takeout (2 beef burritos) although (funny story) before that I went to a pizza place and ordered a veggie pizza. I'm waiting and 10 minutes later they bring out a cold veggie pizza that needed to be heated up. I asked them if they could heat it up for me as I obviously cannot. He said they don't have an oven and refunded me. Apparently they're made to go. Oops. Oh also meeting with friends tomorrow at a brewery near Scottsdale.

Day 2. Just wrapped not too long ago. By far the my best day of the season. It started off with a scare though. when I went out to the car the low tire pressure warning was on. I immediately panicked thinking I may have had a flat and that I'd be late or worse, but there was plenty of air to get me to the circle k. $2.50 later the tire was back to 32 psi. That snafu cost me a few minutes however and the roads were dicey, especially snowbowl road which required AWD (they were checking). Climbing the mountain I passed some guy in a Kia Sportage who was going way to slow and got there around 9:05. What a day though. The bluest of blue skies, not a single cloud in the sky with freshly fallen snow from overnight, clear views of the surrounding area and the Grand canyon to the north. Started off on the Grand canyon Express which was the move since the gondola was on wind hold. It really wasn't that windy but windy enough to blow piles of new snow into deeper piles. The first few runs were $$$. Like the million dollar man Ted Dibiasi money. Shin deep in spots and a bit of flotilla. That didn't last long however as locals don't play when it snows here. That said, the gondi opened at noon so there was a chance for round two on lower bowl or upper ridge. I was there waiting in line but it was taking long so I took my chances and skied back to the GCE. when I got to the top I saw that the gondi was loading. I hauled ass down logjam and hopped on for a sloppy seconds run down lower bowl with a few more runs before calling it. I didn't want to leave but my legs had it. My face is red as I think I got burnt. By tomorrow (more sunshine) I'll look like Kramer from the episode of Seinfeld where he fries himself with butter. A 10 out of 10 day at snowbowl which is now officially my most frequented ski resort outside of Pennsylvania, taking over the spot previously held by whiteface.

Sunshine and snow LFG!!!

Anytime should be around 50 bucks or so to replace. Better than getting a new jacket

That’s the hump

Yes sir. Some of the teeth wouldn’t catch and I either couldn’t zip it up fully or it would pop open when I’m skiing. Took it to a fabric shop that @Benm recommended and they replaced the zipper with a much sturdier one. So far so good
