Roads still closed and the top is open after a night of cold snow. Not too shabby.

Some folks had to have gotten in. Line was too big for just locals.Quote:

Apparently it's so clear and sunny they don't want their guests getting too much UV.

Boy Blatto!
Hope life is good!
kirkwood....
they're just open to spit in squaw's face it seems like. such an effort to open the mountain for literally nobody. CHP is caravaning only employees over the pass so they can spin the lifts for the lucky golden ticket winners. it's amazing
I've been lobbying for a new surface lift to the top of the KT singles' line...Quote:

well it seems everyone did call in sick and with carson pass not open they all came to heavenly and without the dipper filter on before noon the lines stacked up where there usually are none. place had been a ghost town until the sun popped out today. best snow of recent cycle by far
Pass open. Ten gonna fire.
lol. But seriously, I think I rode OIympic Lady once last season. It's like they pretend it doesn't exist.Quote:

To be fair, the Old Lady has run some this year. I've lapped it on multiple storm days so far- last Saturday, and at the end if January on a ridiculous overhead blower day.Quote:

It shows how far the bar has fallen when we're giving them credit for actually running one of their lifts, some of the time.
The problem with these lines is, they're so long they actually make your run shorter. Get off at the top, make a few turns, then you're right at the back of the singles line again. ;-)
TBF, I don't recall OL running all the time pre-KSL. But that's just an aside.
Sure, but when you're a bunch of assholes trying to build a huge village, sold WAY more season passes than ever before, and complaining about trying to be a world class resort, well, then act like it.Quote:

How's this for tone deaf? Needless to say, it did not go over well on Instagram. "Blue sky overhead, why haven't you been digging this out already" was the general sentiment.

Last two days have been real good, but today 4 if not the best they were pretty dam close of the best runs of the year, holy Shit!
My old POS POV died today so this the last video I'll subject you to for awhile

^^ That looks awful. Ugh. Hoping next Monday is going to be similar, nice cold temps in the forecast.
Excellent day with my buddy and the ladies.

He shoots and scores. Tried oh so hard to bail on the JOB this morning. Had yesterday lined up instead of today. Boy was it worth leaving early this afternoon. Laps 1 and 3 were, um, GOOD. Real Real Good. The cougar was packed.Quote:

Pretty great day to be out... snow is sweet. Get after it. No pics of my own since I was on "official business," but this one sums it up pretty well:
