Another really fun day. Found some new off piste stuff which was nice then spent a lot of time on groomers and even some bumps off of lower ridge. Lower bowl into logjam was so good all day because the wind was blowing lose snow out of the woods and off the trees onto the trail so there was a skiff of new snow each run on it (first pic below...grand canyon was visible today as well...3rd pic gotta look closely much easier to see it in person). The sun finally did come out and still is in town. They're still say snow showers tonight. We'll see.

Sun is trying to come out today. Snow is really good but better yesterday... Think 2 days after a storm, tracked out. That said while my daughter was running groomers I found this gem off of upper bowl. Was excellent to say the least. JADIP

The big trash can didn't really help. It was still there. It's a bigger problem that blue doesn't seem to give a shit about. I'm gonna start taking pictures of it and blasting it on Twitter and Instagram. We all should

Did they clean the trail of trash under the lifts yet? Imagine paying $125 to see a disgusting litter strewn mountain. It's embarrassing.

Currently enjoying a coffee in the lounge by the fireplace (btw the coffee is readily available which is another reason this place is awesome...not to mention their ridiculously good breakfast. They don't just have a waffle maker but two ... Regular and one brown cinnamon sugar waffles which is so bad ass.). As for the skiing it appears there's more sun on tap for today with a high of around 35. Later this afternoon they're calling for snow showers and up to an inch in town which could mean a few inches in the mountain for tomorrow am. Tomorrow will be a short morning sesh before I need to head back to Phoenix (with perhaps a pit stop in Sedona). I plan on exploring more off the goni today to see what I can find.

Of course. It worked out though cause I got to explore and go places that she wouldn't ski this morning. My legs were wrecked so the groomers now are nice. Upper and lower bowl and log jam are excellent still. I told her I'm not doing it tomorrow though. Lol

Found lots of trees off of grand canyon express and the az gondi that I didn't ski last year. wide with nice pow stashes. Also skied the gondi line t to b which was fan freaking tastic. My daughter is here now so will likely stick to groomers until close.

This has been one of the best ski days I've had in a while. Everything is on point and the crowds are low. . Sun is shining post storm. Awesome

Arrived at the staff last night after a pit stop on campus to drop off some stuff at my kids apartment. From there I-17 north was a breeze. Part of the fun always of coming to Arizona is driving north on 17 and watching the endless cacti and desert scenery turn into the greener mountains and valleys of the Verde Valley and Prescott and ultimately into for and pine trees and jagged peaks covered in snow. Speaking of which...there's plenty of it in town. Everything on the mountain is officially open with the exception of the upper bowl which I have a feeling is also "open". Awd is required to get up Snowbowl road and thankfully the good people at Alamo had an awd vehicle waiting for me. Shout out to the comfort inn in Flagstaff as well for being not only an awesome ski chalet type place but for also knocking $20 a night off my room rate simply because the person in the room under me is a complete tool bag who's annoying the shit out of the front desk.

Will check it out. Thanks for the dining tip. There's a place called pizzicletta that was packed last year and we couldn't get in. Definitely want to get there if I can this year. I think we ended up at fratellis which was awesome.

Posted up at EWR. Plan is to drive to Flag tonight, ski tomorrow, Thurs and Fri, drive to Phoenix to drop off my kid and meet with friends for dinner Fri night. Snowbowl has gotten about 60 inches over the last few weeks. Looking like sun and over the next few days however. Should be fun.

Holiday technically. Gondola is probably on wind hold. But yeah holy shit. It's supposed to snow through tomorrow. Edit...rime ice

Was debating on whether or not to go today. But I'm glad I did. Conditions were good, snow was soft, nothing too terrible but there were the usual divots and unevenness to be aware of; but what made it extra spicy however where the crowds and fog which started out about half way up when we got there to almost entirely covered by the time we finished. Btw In the house were JfDan, Mute, BenM, Mixilplix, indiggio, mbike, enjorales, pops and if I missed anyone else I'm sorry! Overall a good ski day and no rain (at least not while we were there) Happy new year all!

Nice today. Lots of PASRs in the house and lots of new terrain to ski on. Snow was good but the trails were sorta off kilter with some divots here and there. First run on razors was nice. Other ROTD was Midway to lower main. Upper main was open but good depending on where you skied on it. Chute was also opened and decent. Free fall was also "multi leveled" so to speak (not sure how else to describe it) causing me to lose an edge and a ski at high speed. ..should've known better I guess than to go full throttle first run without seeing it first. Overall it was a really nice day with.good snow, comfortable temps and great company.
