  1. Oh Lordy look at the webcam looks like a weekend.
  2. Crowded because a lot of people didn't ski last week due to the cold so they are making up for it now..plus college kids and midweek passholders. Remember this is not a normal ski season..this is a cold and snowy one so the very casual skiers and riders who don't even go every season are coming out of the woodwork. Last night was the most crowded Tuesday night ever as I believe some school groups were making up for missing Thursday and Friday last week. Very good news that they are running both the six pack and the quad.
  3. You get off thanksgiving, Xmas, MLK weekend, snow days, presidents and spring break plus you have personal and sick days lol and also can get a pension. I wouldn't want to deal with kids. I had my quota of kids last night at Blue.
  4. It seems like the waterpark and condo projects are stalled. They were gonna have pricing on the condos like two years ago.
  5. Because the ski patrollers were harassing us that season and also to give her some ideas on how things could be better at Blue. Was almost a two hour long meeting with Barb, Bruce, Dennis Senior and Chas the head of ski patrol.
  6. Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.
  7. The storm that's wrapping is in the Tetons is ok..but raining in town right now but the next one coming looks juicy.
  8. The rain is predicted to stop by 7am Saturday. Good timing
  9. It's still a big deal if you lose it..you have to go to the store and get a new phone..I'm on my phone more than most when I'm skiing I'd prefer to be off it unless I take pictures. In this day and age unlimited data is pretty standard. I've always had unlimited data since 2009..also speed from ski apps is not accurate..
  10. Wow just wow. Snowboarders are usually shorter as their growth is stunted from starting to smoke cigarettes in 7th grade.
  11. Me and Atomic Jeff have been in Barbs office and have seen the plan map..she's so humble the chairs in her office are the same as the cafeteria. I was expecting some $500 chair from the sharper image or something lol
  12. Blue will one day have a gondola...I'll talk Barb into it after a nice Italian dinner at Mama Ninas!!
  13. Do you actually watch the weather forecast and or have experience with ski conditions??? Thursday it's only gonna be in the 40s and it's January not gonna be extreme mashed potatoes..not enough warmth or traffic or sun angle for that. It doesn't go from solid to mashed potatoes that fast it's an entire transition could be some really nice corn snow. It's not black and white there's a gray area. Friday is a monsoon although forecasts change a whole 60 hours out. Saturday maybe a little lingering rain low crowds nice snow and Sunday icy death but that means the snow is fast and you can see if you need your edges sharpened or not. I ain't tripping. Looks like a nice stretch of skiing and with the Jerrys and Salty anus's on the fence could be less than normal crowds for the doctor Martin Luther king junior holiday. I don't think it will be a white MLK day..sorry boys and girls I work that day anyway.
  14. Evening purple polo shirt edition 1/9/18 Hey all, I'm back from a fun night session at Blue mountain the true mountain. The drive up took about 35 minutes with minimal traffic. There were a decent amount of cars in the lot and the temperature was in the mid to upper 30s. On the snow around 7pm and first run was nightmare to dreamweaver which was good except for a large group of borders. Next run was Razors which was enjoyable and a little spicy..after Razors did Paradise which was alright but busy with patrollers then ran into Indiggio and skied the bumps. The top section I did ok was pretty chalky second session got a little out of control on ice so was in a few lines..lower Main Street was alright pretty smooth but I was on the shiros. The rest of the session was a return to nightmare dreamweaver and Razors a few times each and I finally skied razorback.. After skiing had some parking lot beer..a 10% and a 7.5% and Johnny law was also in the house..all in all it was a decent night session...and so nice to be wearing my purple polo shirt again as it's been awhile of dressing like an astronaut.
  15. When are you coming up to blue mountain??
  16. PARidge will love the 24 hour coffee at the 49er. I don't know about free cookies but I can buy him some.
  17. I had #40 twice on the six pack one day last week..it was magical...now I know how Charlie felt when he got the golden ticket.
  18. You were there at the top of the Sullivan quad when I was freestyle rapping. That was in 2010..Nastar Glenn, Atomic Jeff, Sebastian and some other PASRs were there maybe mbike. Mike. A year after the earlier group shot which was in 2009
  19. Yup that was the Alien pass...Blue has offered similar deals late and early season before as well...it's good marketing.
