The feedback on Saltys April Fool's Joke from an Alpine Zone poster..."That was well done by someone that took their time researching and adding a good amount of facts."

The feedback from PASR..."You wasted a lot of time for a stupid April Fools joke."

Haha

Full disclosure, the guy that said that also was at Blue Saturday and said that their coverage was “very thin and mostly ice” and that you needed to pick your way around bare spots down the entire left side of Lazy Mile on rock skis. 

Just saying, I’m not sure he’s the best judge of quality/

AlpineZone has some serious gapers, even more than PASR

dirty filthy snow, thin cover, pine needles strewn about, snirt, death cookies, and mashed potatoes.

All of which, save death cookies, means spring skiing at its finest.

It's just a different kind of stoke, spring skiing stoke! 
Embrace it and enjoy it as the last throes of winter and skiing for the season vanish into history.

It's just too bad that Blue pulled the plug so early.

I agree with the AlpineZone poster. Nothing is a bigger stoke stomper than skiing on dirty filthy snow, thin cover, pine needles strewn about, snirt, death cookies, and mashed potatoes.

Wrong that makes you a better skier.  Sometimes the dirty snow can be pretty good

Nah, I heard there were already weddings booked starting Thursday.

We were discussing that they could keep the valley open and just run the 6-pack/quad to keep the riff-raff from the summit lodge.

Because nothing says "most special day of your life" like a beautiful view of snirt and a dead brown valley below.
