  1. Doesn't even look like the waffle cabin is open. Wow just wow
  2. No? Schools were closed for an entire week after the blizzard of 96 but snow removal technology has to be better now. I imagine a lot of the people at Blue haven't skied in a few years. Very casual skiers and riders who need a blizzard to come out of the woodwork.
  3. At least you can cut the lines as an instructor.
  4. Wow just wow and I imagine every day will be crowded at blue till the next thaw. I imagine some schools will be closed all week due to busing.
  5. Got five pow runs so far. Sitting in Casper lodge right now drinking a $5.25 Gatorade and eating a $3 twix bar. View is good. Earlier first tram. From the top.
  6. I always wanna know what's happening at my home mountain.
  7. Good to see blue is finally getting some crowds. They need to make that Johnny cash. Lights and snowmaking on new trail isn't cheap. Does sidewinder have features on it?
  8. How was fresh possible with the crowds.
  9. Bahahaha whatever just saying where are your goggles and ski pants from when you used to ski.
  10. What do you think we've all spent so far this season??? Ski in jeans or sweat pants.
  11. Nice welcome back!!! Why only 80% just go
  12. Nice report phillycore. Are skevics fat skis??? Switchback is such a great run!!!!
  13. Waiting for the lifts to open. Deepest 5" ever view from the cirque Nom nom nom Snowboarder we took a few runs with. Titty sparkles This is around noon not bad. I'm feeling like a popular Ice Cube song...today was a good day!!!! Got that after glow and lactic acid burn in my legs.
  14. Nice report. Were there any crowds??? I see JLAW on homestretch.
  15. January 24th 2016...day 2 of 9. Thank you winter storm Jonas because if not for you today would be our arrival day and I wouldn't have been able to ski almost a dozen runs of untracked powder!!!! We took the 8am bus to the mountain and the report was 5 inches of new snow as of 6am all of which fell after the lifts closed yesterday. High tailed it up to the gondola and me and atomic Jeff were about 15th in the singles line at 835am. Lots of people out early and by the time the lifts opened there were at least 300 people in line for the gondola and at least that many in line for the Tram. Atomic Jeff and me should have traded places in line as he was in cabin number 420 cough cough. First run the 5" was deep and beefy more like 6-8" of medium density pow pow. High tailed it to the Thunder Quad and next run got some photos skiers left of Grand. The snow was billowing above my waist..so good best pow I've skied here since prob 3 years ago. Up sublette delightful untracked in ten sleep bowl and the cirque and the gully leading to amphitheater. Up Thunder got a few nice shots of atomic Jeff in untracked below the expert chutes. Was so nice maybe two other tracks as its a bit of a whoop dee doo traverse. Down to thunder almost a full lift corral of people. On the lift we met a father and son from Ohio and Chicago respectively. They were skiing their last of three days and son on a snowboard hadn't experienced the legendary hobacks yet and dad was an intermediate and not competent enough to ski them so we decided to let the snowboarder tag along with us. Wow just wow building great karma with the knuckledragger community but before the hobacks we skied left of grand again in chowder and untracked back to sublette then over to the hobacks. Hobacks were way better than expected. 75% untracked. My feet were bugging me a little. My 7 days prior to this trip were equal to about 2 real ski days so my feet are still in summer sandal wide mode. Stopped to pee, stopped to take pictures..deep untracked till last 500 vert where the new snow transitioned to only a few inches new. Still very nice. By the time I was back at the union pass lift I was sweating woo. We split up from snowboarder and went back to the base. Up teewinot and then up apres vous. The racers will taking down the race course between the Teton lift and apres vous and we got fresh pow in the woods and meadows right of the race course and then down to the Teton lift. Up the Teton lift and the next run was like my third favorite Tom Cruise movie, Risky Business as I ducked a rope and skied the untracked woods right of the race course. Jeff didn't want to. With several days left on my pass if I would have been caught by the red coats if would be like my second favorite Tom Cruise movie Jerry Maguire and the ticket office would have asked me to Show Me The Money but was all good and I was like my favorite Tom Cruise movie,"Top Gun"'on some Kenny loggins shit skiing right into the danger zone got like twenty fresh turns then chowder below on Moran face. My legs were screaming and I had my Phil like Mickelson. Skied a long long run to the base. Was gonna eat at the handlebar in the four seasons but was uber packed so had a late lunch at the alpenhof. Has hamburger soup and a bison quesadilla and an Arnold Palmer. Atomic Jeff had the soup as well and bison pastrami sang washed down with a Spaten. Only $46 which is very reasonable for this town. I am exhausted. No warm ups no groomers no easy runs. Just pow pow and more pow. Was straight out of dirty dancing..yes I had the time of my lyfe but nobody puts GSS in the corner. Woo...two bonus days at Jackson Hole were like Frosted Flakes..they were grrrrr....ate. Photos to come soon.
  16. Your welcome and anytime. Looks sort of busy at blue.
  17. They sell gloves and pants at the skiers store at blue.
  18. From the air!!! About 30 miles south of JH Snow King at dusk on the way back from buying contact lense case. 8am bus...Rose Parks would be jealous. The band setting up at the base of the gondola at 8:45AM Overcast day Mangy moose Nice leaving snowless PA to see a few flakes.
