Oh shit ^^^^^
Just came to ask how bad conditions were up North. I saw Jay’s trail count was way down. Is it as grim up North as that picture?

Not as bad as that at Jay but patrol did close off all the glades and natural trails. a bit conservative by Jay standards, there were somewhat continuous patches of rotten snow in at least some glades and UN seemed totally skiableQuote:

rather rugged today
Attachment 508898
happy new year, goons. :yourock: :wookie:
But the snowmaking pond is full!!
I remember reading on Instagram or something that Jay offers half price day tickets if you have a season pass somewhere else but now I can't find it.
Can anyone confirm this? And you just go to the ticket window?
I sent them a message but it's a holiday today.
Thanks happy new year!
Go to tickets page on jay’s website. There’s a vermonters and other areas passholders discount. Not half price anymore
Soupy, foggy, wet at Bolton. Wouldn’t recommend!

first december ride followed by a first january ride.
damp and warmish, i bet the snowmaking ponds are damp and swimmable
JH I believe that 50% off with another mountain pass deal was just for their first few weekends in December
looks like the upslope machine is churnin’ up there right now, betting on a gong show this weekend with the storm hype, fingers crossed the BC comes back into play
I contacted Jay and they replied promptly that you still get a discount but not 50%.Quote:

I get 50% off as a Cannon employee but midweek non holiday but today and tomorrow are still holiday there.
I'll bebop around Cannon on the angry inch.
did anyone get to MRG today? they reported 10-12" over 2"of wet&heavy. damn!
I always visit for reggaefest, does that count?Quote:

^nice Cat. Looks like some upslope happening
I heard the wind was sideways at Jay today and lifts down, touring is fun!
Out late which was perfect, missed the fresh manmade untracked but the pushed up piles were skiing great.
Couple days of change, still thin c

Somewhat wind affected. Still better than not skiing. Scoured would be an understatement, either rocks or buffed drifts. Not complaining, honestly knock on wood not as bad as I had feared given the rain and temps.
my pow seeking associates and I are planning too venture to the leeward slopes of the Jay backcountry this weekend in hopes for glory
ticketchecker’s baby is turning six!
End of January… don’t wish you were a headlight on a Northbound train… make a plan and get there…

Dust on crust but in the best possible way- like 5 inches of really light dust and the crust underneath wasn’t breaking through so…

Sorry no soup
It was indeed cold out there this weekend, but the real issue was the crowds. Saturday was pure madness. Stateside lot full by 8:30am, and rumored 40 min lift lines bc they were only running the Bonnie and loading every other chair to start.
The lots on 242 were an absolute gong show; Big Jay lot had cars parked on the “shoulder” for probably 3/4 of a mile before and after the trailhead. Saw two crews of like 15 people out there, huge vibe killer; and in total I think I saw more people out there on Saturday than I have cumulatively in my 13 years of skiing that zone. At the risk of sounding like a crotchety old back-in-my-day kinda guy: the spot is certifiably blown.
The snow was still awesome tho, and we made the best of it. Deep, blower, fantastic conditions.

Yea I felt lucky to only be 100ft down the shoulder. Did a cpl Gilpins laps and saw like 10 groups which is about 9 more than I usually see on a Saturday but not that surprising with how crazy the resort was plus the recent snow. still lots of untouched expansesQuote:

yea I figured people would want to get into the BC with the resort running minimal lifts but the sheer numbers out there was what surprised me. Sunday on Gilpin was much better, only saw a few other people out there, and the conditions were stellar indeed. Another 2 feet by Friday? We’ll see how it goes this weekendQuote:

If you just run that thing through an immersion blender you might end up with cheeseburger soupQuote:
