  1. Sending people out to pick it up is great but that’s not the solution. They need to do whatever they can to prevent it from happening in the first place.
  2. Where's the Pizza from? A&G?
  3. Fun day but man the crowds were crazy today. Conditions were top notch for the first few. All in all a good couple of ski days this weekend!
  4. Why can’t it just be…”I skied blue?” Why add the $40 part? Seems weird.
  5. It's amazing what an inch of snow can do for stoke...not just for tightening up conditions but also mentally ...to feel like you're in the mountains. The first few runs of the day (challenge and side for me) were so money it was hard not to smile. From there it stayed good virtually everywhere. Even skied sleepy hollow glade a few times along with the ditch. Main was probably the worst condition wise. Crowds became large around 9 and despite wanting to ski more...lines beyond the turnstiles at 940 and crowded slopes were enough to wrap up a mighty fine session. Maybe the best of the season so far.
  6. Thank you sir. United...but i appreciate you looking out!
  7. Drop the 4 and I'd consider it, but only if blue was closed
  8. My first 3 runs were challenge 2x and switch and was like... ok. Here we go. 9.5 out of 10. Then reality hit like a punch in the face quickly as the cookies and sugar reared their ugly heads. In addition, the carbon county dump was out in full force under the lifts. They put the eye sore giant trash cans out but the funnels aren't on them which gives people a smaller target to throw their filth at, just creating more trash and the fact that we need to line our slopes with giant trash cans speaks to a much larger problem. Not to mention the giant trash cans don't help the littering issue anyway. All in all always better skiing but I'm gradually moving from stoked that the season is here phase to crap that irks me phase.
  9. I'm sure. This may be the first time I've gotten into January without doing a night session. I don't see it happening either, at least until the spring.
  10. Imagine what it's like right now. Probably like sand dunes
  11. Got there around 9:30 today and skied with the masses. It was ok. I somehow managed an empty main run t2b on good snow which was nice. I feel like main is sort of an unsung hero this year as far as conditions go. Everything else was decent to shitty, with the shitty being wherever the sugar was deepest, mainly on the flats and run outs. @Johnny Law told me im the lot that there's some good to be found however and that was true. The best part of the day was watching the multitude of people attempting to enter the VIP gate and baffled as to why it wasn't working. I guess people just automatically assume that they're VIPs....idk. When one liftie questioned one of them, he responded with "I have Icon" thinking that would get him through the pearly gates. It didn't and hats off to the liftie who, in response, told him "that's not a blue mountain pass, you need to get in the other line".
  12. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow you're only a day away. And Sunday
  13. It took someone falling into the pond to actually get them to pump out that eye sore? How many beer cans did the lifties have to push aside to actually get to the person.
  14. Nearly 50 years in business. You'd think they know not to blow snow onto the sensors by now
  15. No roll call?
  16. Yep I heard it along with some pretty heavy rain. Told myself that I was sleeping in today.
  17. Sometimes it's more than conditions that make a great day. Thats the beauty of skiing. That was today.
  18. The pizza talk got me thinking.
  19. 9.2 out of 10 today in all seriousness I didn't hate it. It wasn't as good as last week but it had grip, the sun was out, the temperature was nice and the company was good. Fun morning overall
  20. That's a shame actually. I remember frost being at or near capacity this week, on a few different occasions back when they were lined with the fan guns. Even a few seasons where the elevator was prime on new years day. Amazing that they seemingly haven't reinvested in snowmaking since they moved those guns up north.
  21. Same. I’ll be back on Monday
  22. JF and BB had were both lined with fan guns (all trails) that cranked out serious snow I wanna say around 2010ish. But (if I remember correctly) When peak resorts made the purchase of hunter, Mt snow and some other places in NE.. Peak shipped a good chunk of the fan guns up north (I'm fairly certain hunter got the majority of them). I think they still have some...idk (it's been a minute) but they had to revert to the old school portables again after that on a good chunk of terrain. That particular purchase didn't help JFBB from snowmaking perspective.
  23. Yes skied challenge once. Probably the worst conditions of the day, but not terrible. Switch was better than yesterday. Mid trail, just before the first left turn, Johnny Laws jump (aka Law’s Leap) was extra prominent.
