That Jackson hole trip y’all were cooking alot.
We mix it up.
In Whistler, we didn't cook at all. -
Part of the ski trip experience is getting to eat local foods in the place you're visiting.

Not sure if you've heard anything new.... but I just heard ol' Joe just blew up a deal right before it closed. Dunno if that's the same deal you heard was done or a different one. I did hear earlier in the season they had 2 offers, so could have been a different one.
Hopefully investors are a bit timid on that that route after Windham's so-far-fail. They lasted something like 3 weeks of the season with their "2 day minimum for non-club members"... quickly turning into a REAALLLY expensive private lift line and not much more.
Nope, I hadn't heard anything more and it wouldn't surprise me in the least that the deal blew up at the end, so perhaps this is the latest scuttlebutt.
I would think it would be a tough roe to hoe going the private route and keeping it solvent, unless they have some really deep pockets to pull money from.

To who @indiggio?
Nobody has heard who might have bought it, but the thought is probably a private investor group as if it was any "biggie" that surely would have been announced.

Good. I'd buy an Indy pass if elk was on it
Since I already bought an Indy, I'd definitely welcome Elk to it!

IF it's true, wonder what the sale price would end up being. Blue went for about $32 million, but seems like it has a lot more infrastructure
That and Blue isn't as far out in the boonies as Elk is.

I’m not sure I like this. We will see what happens.
Yeah, dunno either.
What if it's some bunch of rich boomers who take the place private? -
Heard it through another source that the deal is done and Elk's been sold.

Nuts that it ran right into one of the towers/pilings. Wonder if they lost rudder or something. Loss of life obviously the most pressing concern, but that's also going to change daily life in the entire Baltimore area significantly for quite some time. Obviously forces even more traffic through the two tunnels, but also much more the long way around the west side of the beltway, due to the tunnel-restricted loads that would have used the Key Bridge instead now all having to take that route.
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... -

So I think during travel I had a piece of my Smith IO goggle cracked. I opened the claim. They want to see proof of purchase, picture of the damage, etc.... I get an email reply approving it, but before they give me a voucher, they want pictures of the "destroyed" product. Cut the strap, scratch an X into the lense.
Seems like a darn good waste of a fine lense. Anybody else go through this?
Nope, but interesting.
I guess they don't want people piece-mealing together spare goggles.-

What a fun day! Conditions were much better than expected. Parking lot was a blast, eagle show spectacular. Plenty of food, drinks, and all out silliness in the lot. Thanks @indiggio for helping me get my skis back on after I landed in the woods. I maybe back Friday,Saturday is definitely out, leaving for Maine on Sunday.
No problem! Just glad you weren't any the worse for wear after your forest adventure. 😉

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.

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.

On my list of videos to watch and his kicking horse video was all time.
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. -

was also thinking this.
i'm wondering if they'll throw a couple of bonus trails in there... dare i say... lower main (because chute was still fine and it only needed a little bit of work at the chicane) and lazy (from what i recall it was just the bottom merge into main that was bad, or no?).
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. -

They might be able to blow all day.
I got the impression from their post that that's their plan.

Just hit 58.2 mph on a completely empty radical blue square run with lots of cord lines which is pretty fun and sickbird
Was that while you were standing on your skis or sliding on your butt after your crash?

How deep do you think they’d have to blow challenge, falls and homestretch to make late April. Not so much now but once we get into April…unless it’s abnormally cold, that sun angle just vaporizes them snow so fast.
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? -

Saw some flashing lights on the chute and main st , Grooming activity?
Saturday looks like rain &@#%!Nope, they had the guns energized. Were blinking all day Sunday.
Looks like snow if you go far enough north.

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.
