Should you fill in little gouges?
Will that melt-in stuff allow the wax to soak in like the real ptex base does?
I've heard conflicting reports.

Looks like the 6-pack is running now, per webcams!

A terrible rumbling was rapidly developing in my lower intestines, a level 5 shit...
Hilarious!
It's probably happened to all of us at one time or another.
Just the other day, I was standing in the doubles and a slight tremor hit.
I debated whether to pull a 180 and head to the valley, but I was too close to the gate for that, so I rode the lift, hoping...
Luckily I made it to the summit and hauled it to the lodge, where I then debated holding another 40 min. ride home and probably facing a level 5 or worse or the summit lodge shitters.
I chose the shitters...
Six pack is still down, quad was really on the fritz, only one ride where it didn't stop and most where long mechanical type shit.
With the snow storm, I'm sure deliveries are delayed.
I've got a UPS delivery that has been.
They better get their shit together for this weekend, this snow and a bit warmer temps are gonna bring out everyone!

they poured all new footers and brought in all new supports.
Guess my ski patrol source wasn't all that reliable...
-
I had heard, when they put in the original Challenge double, that they sized the footings/supports for a future 6-pack.
If so, they wouldn't have had to shell out the total expense when they finally converted.

speaking of PA locals, Tom got shafted. No disrespect to joss, he's also super talented, but picking an Olympic team member based on essentially one comp win over someone with a solid record of strong results all season long is pretty crappy.
Have to agree, with all that he's done/accomplished, he's got a far better chance at a medal.
-
Probably don't do shit to maintain the equipment and then just scramble when shit breaks...
Looks like the snow line is along the blue ridge, webcams look like there's hardly anything falling up there at all.
Monday when 6-pack was down, went over to quad and there was a mech hauling a blower or heater with big duct on it over to the 6-pack.
-
The six broke while we were on it about 1/3 of the way up. They used an axillary generator to inch us to the top. I asked a maintenance guy what broke, he said it was an electrical problem.
Again???
-
Blue's webcams look like they're not getting a whole lot of snow, but it could be an illusion.
Also, 6-pack isn't running either.

Not what you want to happen on a holiday. Bad news.
Indeed. I'm sure they'll get some good feedback from this.

Back from a morning session, where snow conditions were downright spectacular.
I believe they blew snow on every trail (not sure about Burma or those though...) and the grooming was excellent.
Razors was perfect cord along with Challenge. Nightmare & Dreamweaver were on par as well.
Paradise was nice and soft and Sidewinder was groomed and fast.
Main Street was wonderful, with reseeded Barney's. Unfortunately they were scraped off later down to boiler.
About 9:00am, riding 6-pack just to the crest of Challenge and eerrrrkkkk! It came to a FAST stop, luckily fellow riders hadn't put the bar up yet!!
We sat for about 15-20 mins., hearing horn going off a few times, but no movement.
A few more minutes later, finally some movement, but at a snail's pace.
After they got everyone off, they shut it down, which cut the day short, since lines at the quad and doubles were out of control, as the crowds started showing up big time around 10.
Hopefully they'll get some nice new snow out of this predicted storm, but otherwise snow conditions couldn't have been much better today.

Yesterday was an interesting day at Blue:
Starts out with a nice coating of powder, which brings my unwaxed skis to a grinding halt.
After a couple hours, "Powder" gets skied off and down to hard-pack, boilerplate and skis run as usual.
After a couple more hours, base is warming up and have to pole to get to 6-pack.
With this temperature range, what would you all recommend for a base wax?
Do you use a rub-on glider? (Oh boy, can't wait for the responses to this one...)
Thx

Actually this afternoon now. Business is dead.
Pun intended?
-
They should be good for Sunday then, boilerplate was coming up through Friday in spots.
-
You obviously aren't paying the heating bill. I have electric heat. I know my next bill will probably be the highest it's ever been...
Layer up...

Fur diaper = boner city?
Dental floss?

Damn! Hate when work interferes with fun...

Good to hear. Its gotta be cool teaching your kids to do something that you love.
It's a great feeling when see your kid(s) do well on the slopes. (voice of experience).
It'll be a sad feeling when they surpass you (haven't experienced that...yet).

It's i hope I die before I get old... Shit my freaking job has me thinking about mortality on a regular basis.
Unfortunately I am old enough to know the song, the start of my Punk Rock youth...
Wait until you get older, then you really start thinking about mortality and how much time you have left.
Different things become much more important, like stickers on Cadillacs....

look here grandpa
the order of those words to get the intended phrase across is "i may grow old, but ill never grow up"
you cannot "grow up" without "growing old" but you can grow old without growing up.
Let me turn up the volume on my hearing aid...
What's that again?

I hope I live before I die!

I wonder if Marco Andretti knows him.
I'd bet all the Andrettis know him.
