2/21...morning moves....old pants

Only lift running is Burma Chair. I was going to be first chair but I waited 20 minutes for them to tell me the six pack is going to take a while. The line iced up and the chairs were slipping. David was very nice telling me I’m better off taking the shuttle, but the SP3000 that came over on his snow mobile went with “get out of there, this side is closed, get out.” Drove to the top with one boot off and slayed vista, midway, to lower Main Street on frozen cord. Should soften up as the sun gets higher. Usually I would wait till after skiing for a TR but this lift is so Danny long, I was able to write this. Only other person I saw was Bethlehem Ford guy.

Shuttle up now. Should be opening soon. No biggie.

The snow is firm and fast. Easily carvable and good grooming. The snow in the sun is perfect. It should get better as the temps rise. 

The glades shine. @Ski2Live Live2Ski Would love it!!!

The snow is great. 6 pack is running.

I like how you see things through rose colored lenses

i feel like there should be a waiting period between "the chairs are slipping" and "we're good to go"

The power of positive thinking Douglas. I can't wait to ski epic conditions tonight at Blue. I'll be sure to post all about it.

Pics look great guys. A preview of things to come for next week in Jackson?

Were you in the way of them marking stuff off?  wait....they dont do that till long after opening.  Seems like a friendly guy though.

Don’t worry Eaf they’ll be sloppy snow and plenty of buses later.

If schools closed today (they did here) buses could be minimal (fingers crossed)

All school here were two hour delay.  There will be a lot of buses.

Nobody's here. A little bit slushy and draggy, but quite enjoyable nevertheless.

The real problem though is that my season pass started saying "out of date" and requires a manual override every single time. I wonder, what's that all about.

[eaf]

And look how well it held

[eaf]

Looking for those rollers now. Where exactly are they?

[eaf]

Damn, no more lives left, ticket line is long, moving slow. Won't it be cool if 02/20 is not only start of new season pass sales, but also the end of the last year ones?

Are the quad and six pack both running??

Yes. Actually crowds are picking up. And I was talking about ticket window lines, not lift lines. Had to fix the pass issue. It had expiration date 02/20 for real.

Kinda choppy everywhere except for pristine Razor. Gonna be fun when it starts freezing up.
