last weekend they ran the triple only. i'd expect the same this saturday. they have had decent snowmaking windows since the rain so there should be good cover on whatever's open. looks pretty great considering...and with the coldest stretch of the week now upon us.

even without the hikes to the nats, the limited routes off the triple were soft, fast and fun.
No, thats great though. The temps are looking to cooperate for a bit/fingers crossed. Crabbe mt is still without power so theyve pushed back opening a few days and despite the nice temp drop they cant fire up the guns. Feel for those guys. They busted a gut this year trying to get it together before the xmas break with their new guns until they got shut down. Other hills in the province have them fired back up and broadcasting it on the socials. Poor crabbe even lost their webcam and wifi. They should be back at it today hopefullyQuote:

Unfortunately it looks like one more negative storm before a pattern change - a potentially significant change for the better. Whether that can deliver a big "reset" storm is TBD. But another week of bah humbug to suffer through beforehand.
I feel for Magic. Ever since having water in pond the temps - not mentioned the precipitation type - has not been friendly. Temps are turning out a bit colder this week than expected a few days back so maybe they can string something together. Key will be if guns can stay on tomorrow down low.
This one might have a lot more snow on the 'back end' though. So, it might not be a total bummer...Quote:

Don’t hit the towers! Different risk calculus back then. We were invincible!Quote:

Sounds like there’s a line between invincible and convinceable that one must cross with or without the agony of a juicebox

That Jackson vid is crazy. Jeezus.
^^ yea it's the sort of footage that would've be startling enough if it were happening in the tropics, far away.
Memory lane. It was probably mid 80s last time I skied agony. Isn’t there “you know you’re old when” thread somewhere in these parts?Quote:

If there was footage of the Sunday River at the twin bridges (Ketchum), I suspect it would also be quite impressive. Both bridges are still there, but apparently the roadway between them no longer exists.

Conditions were…variable. Feeling lucky we had an above average early season.
^^bluebird and all to yourself!!
After moping around the house for a couple days it was back to glading. It should work out. Then i see this and im psyched to get going again! Almost reminds me of eastern slopes of the rockies skiing av paths

Whitegrass WV from Tuesday night. Ended up there by chance, in a way, taking skis along on a trip with no expectations. But it all lined up: snow, an old friend, moonlight, and this obviously very special place. Lo-fi pics, but I think the spirit is there.
Timberline wasn't bad either, I understand the snow gun thing now...
^^encouraging winter scenes moonlight and day. stars aligning. solstice.
11F at platty in the still dark

even better in the light!Attachment 480312
a crispy 9º bob and dead calm
Steam from snowmaking is obscuring the view this morning. Chemtrails were nicely colored by the alpenglow.
Moonlight in WV is perfect
