Not too bad for pre-Thanksgiving.
Too bad a sled had to poach inside the watershed though.

^^^Thats new since this AM. They must have seen me complaining on he FB conditions page and decided they better take action :rolleyes:
12/5 isn’t bad. That’s a Thursday so us unemployed degenerates get first crack.
And I still doubt NWX will have butts on chairs before January.

Yeah, I don’t see that on the MtB website or the Facebook conditions page. And the base is decliningQuote:

I stand by for the apology.Quote:

Although your scoop last night did not specify a specific opening day, nor did it include the weasel-words “if conditions permit”.
Let’s see if “conditions permit” its spinning next week.
Snow was nice on both CCX & OBX today. Just need moar. Shit is poking thru. Base of NWX is likely a WROD
Thanks, that means a lot coming from you! :)Quote:

Spot the maggot.
Summit now open
Attempted to poach Summit lift line prior to opening. B net got me. I hate crashing in the lift line.
Coming along as planned! Nice.Quote:

Is there a Wine list for the occasion? He will want to know.
that sounds fabulous !!!!Quote:

If you were savvy about social media, you would know that NWX is scheduled to spin tomorrow Wednesday 12/11. No idea what conditions are like near the base, but I can report that it’s kinda bony at base of OBX.Quote:

I am just glad my optimism has been redeemed.Quote:

Instead of asking the Ambassadors “what time will Summit open today?” I’m gonna start asking “which chair is going down ‘for maintenance’ in the middle of the day today?”
I thnk you may be on to something with all these maintenance issues. Perhap Bachelor really does have a maximum uphill throughput. Any more than their opaque number and it's nuts for the rest of us.Quote:

^^^Welp, all scheduled chairs ran until at least 1pm today. The exception that proves the rule?
Great day today. 3” of med density skied like butter. Viz kinda sucked.
How bad was the viz?
Well I managed to launch into the stunt ditch under PMX.
At an angle approximating perpendicular to the ditch line.
No idea it was there before going airborne
Kept the helmet side above the p-Tex side thru out the maneuver but I’d rather not replicate that feat.
Pics or it didn't happenQuote:

Maybe we ammend our theory to total daily uphill throughput. Which, based on your highly scientific observations, Bachelor reached at around 1pm and had to throttle backQuote:

Sounds like the drive to Mt Brokenchair was a shitshow this AM as well.
Another good reason not to ski weekends.
And NWX shit the bed this AM. Stopped so abruptly people almost exited the chair. They got free lift tickets out of the deal.
That's what I heard too. But I'm jet lagged and on London time and was up early for a Cone lap and had a country club kind of morning at Bachelor. Was really nice to just lap PMX and OBX with no lift lines on a cream cheese pow day. Century. was still a hot mess at 11am and the only way to get up was the Sunriver route.Quote:

We were actually in the 3rd row, parked by 7:55. Main lot filled @ 8:16. All lots full by 10:15. The drive was nice, just wet roads until just past the 35/ 26 jctQuote:
