They got to move the park on Barb’s. It is a zoo with people going to summit lift. No room for the park rats to use the features. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually out at Copper while it was dumping here. But there was so much from that storm, and it stayed cold, that all the off trail areas were still well in play. But some of them had gotten skied so much they were super slick and packed down, like the T bar line. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Blue it used to be that if you skied off piste the ski patrollers would be piste off…a couple seasons ago everything was in play…the bike trails mess up a lot of the tree skiing and the famous Marquee route.

Today was a good day for that if you choose wisely. Under the Quad uphill from Razors and a couple other areas. Kudos to Blue today for controlling the cattle. I stayed on the Quad most of the afternoon. They paired everyone up and the lift only stopped once in 3hrs I was there! Great day 12-5 session with only a short break, I felt 20 years younger all day. Rotd ended up a perfectly timed accident. I was drooling over the fresh carpet on Razors when I saw 2 tracks down, Patrollers? Yeah . I spotted a crowd at the rope! Yes , skate and hit speed right as the rope dropped! Later runs were ok . Most of the mountain is in pretty good shape. Lazy was quite crowded but ok if you kept your speed down due to washboards. Jay has its “Jay Cloud “ Blue has “Nightmare cloud” crazy micro climate all day over the top of Nightmare . Great job Blue! Ps Park is a total shit show at the entrance!

I'm cool with that but I do really enjoy Barbs Way midweek. Plenty room for the rats and the regular skiers and riders passing through in harmony.

I like when you make a lot of short turns on the super steep challenge run and reminds me of my windshield wipers going back and forth..it’s radical. @saltyant after I return from JH, we can meet up at the Ciocca Subaru service center. I’ll introduce you to the ladies at the loaner car department and we can sip complimentary deer park water and hot cocoa. There’s even free popcorn in the showroom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could actually make a narrow entrance for more fuckery in hopes of getting more people onto homestretch…once Central Park opens up, should spread things out a little. There’s also the little cut through meant for ski patrol that goes under the OG six pack from homestretch back to lower barbs way and can have some real nice snow but better keep your head on a swivel cause always seems to be somebody at that mini merge 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only did the upper school hill lastvyear because the new 6 pack wasnt ready but that is a pretty steezy option considering you can hot lap it up there with the carpet. Despite the cluster Barbs Way has been on the busy days; it has truly been enjoyable on quiet weekdays and its builds have been very progression minded. I tip my hat.

Blues park Crue is always top touch and has progressed from the early days when they stood next to the big dawg booters smoking cigs and laughing at the wipeouts. They’ve progressed now they vape.

Came off the FDF early but the cam got cut off onto the next box by a random pops bumped into camera man, then knocked into the tail of my board as I was going for the double barrel rail lol. All to dodge the features after cutting anyone approaching off lol, no respekt.

Just keep it on Come around, then you have a dedicated run and there is plenty of space to hike a rail or you can just run the goofy ass Vista chair. Add in Lower Side and what used to be the half pipe trail but keep whatever its called open to go to the lift 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against park people but when they're going off jumps I worry they'll crash into me or in frort of me. Plus it gets narrow A.F. avoiding all those thingamabob park things. I don't feel like doing the flat run to skip the park, way too much poll planting and exertion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
