    Sale rumors...

    Since I already bought an Indy, I'd definitely welcome Elk to it!

    That and Blue isn't as far out in the boonies as Elk is.

    Sale rumors...

    Yeah, dunno either. What if it's some bunch of rich boomers who take the place private?

    Sale rumors...

    Heard it through another source that the deal is done and Elk's been sold.
  5. Bunch of videos out show the entire ship going dark, then recovering, then going dark again. Surprising that they don't have tugs to direct these monsters until they're safely out of the harbor, but also heard they had a harbor pilot aboard taking the ship out, but if the ship loses power...
  6. Nope, but interesting. I guess they don't want people piece-mealing together spare goggles.
  7. No problem! Just glad you weren't any the worse for wear after your forest adventure. 😉
  8. Rode up with a lot of alien pass visitors taking advantage of the discount. Many were asking if we had a season pass and remarked at how much better the trails are at Blue compared to Cameltoe. There seemed to be a ton more park rats too, some of them were quite good off the jumps. There were also far more shit-missiles coming down Razors, one ate it spectacularly by clipping a bump with his left ski, spinning backwards into full-on yard sale and then body slamming his way to a stop in the bump line. That was the about the time we decided to call last run.
  9. Today was a total mind fuck from the get go. 31’ in the lot on March 24, a 9am open, gates open early, then not opening at all, then opening late, some screaming going on at the lift at the open, absolutely unexpected wonderful conditions after an absolute deluge the day before to full-on Spring conditions and unexpected bump line, digging @momskeeztoo outta the woods and getting her skis back on and late day parking lot session with a low-level eagles passover all made for a spectacular late season day and possibly another one next weekend. Fingers crossed for some more fun.
  10. Outta the box and into the rocks!
  11. Same conditions we had at Kicking Horse, with the top socked in with clouds and snow. I don't know where that scary run was.
  12. From whenever we rode over Main, it looked like they had enough to farm from the one side, but with how warm it was they probably couldn't get much out of it. Perhaps with the cold they could push what they had and make a WROD before the rains come. Sounds like the heavy rain is supposed to stay to the East of us, hopefully Blue doesn't get a lot.
  13. I got the impression from their post that that's their plan.
  14. Was that while you were standing on your skis or sliding on your butt after your crash?
  15. Ever see how deep they blow Superstar? With those old guns on Challenge they could blow it 15' deep of frozen gak easily and with a working winch cat, keep pushing what moves down back up to the top. I think the problem would be more keeping a route from the Comet to Challenge open. They did a great job with Homestretch this year and they sacrificed Falls. Maybe Razors would be a better choice with all the urea BMR puts down?
  16. Nope, they had the guns energized. Were blinking all day Sunday. Looks like snow if you go far enough north.
  17. If Blue had a working winch cat they could have kept Razors alive for another week by pushing snow back up to cover the shit stain and farm the bumps and elsewhere into a WROD on the left. Imagine Blue blowing a Challenge glacier all season and just run the Comet into late April.
  18. Blue actually did a pretty decent job on the season pass party and it was quite the crowd. Both upstairs rooms in the Summit lodge were in play, with a live band from the start. Meal included a drink in a free Blue color changing mug, which I used to get a Stacy's Mom IPA. Appetizers which I didn't get to sample were fried shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, egg rolls. The meal options were salad, lemon chicken, sliced pork, meatballs, rigatoni in sauce, sausage, cooked veggies and roll. Dessert options were chocolate chip cookies, vanilla/chocolate cupcakes and brownies. Some of the door prizes that I saw people won were hats, T-shirts, hoodies, snowboards.
  19. Looks like a line coming through...
  20. All gonna be pretty spicy by tomorrow, bring your best rock skis! I don't know what Blue's smoking for next week, but I wish they'd pass it along as it looks like the cold days are cloudy so higher humidity and thus much gak from the guns.
  21. They probably won't groom the seeded bump line, but all the flat snowers won't be happy if they don't groom out the naturals, especially since raisins will be one of the only trail(s) left for the weekend.
  22. Wish I could have made it up there…
  23. Indeed! 40-50' days are one thing, 62, 66, 69, 64 days are gonna put a real hurt on what's left. May be down to just NW/DW & Razors, Easy Out & Vista.
