I have to be at Stowe and am not amused. This weekend will be awesome.

Since misery loves company, you'll be amused to hear that we're hosting one of the boy's kindergarten buddies, his parents & 3yo twin siblings this weekend... I was further informed that we'll be taking them to Bromley on Saturday because the friend needs a lesson. Swell. I did find one of my balls and demanded (ok, strongly suggested) that we ski Magic on Sunday. At least that was approved. So I'll get to enjoy sloppy 6ths at Magic on Sunday.

Anyone (Peruvian?) know if there anything fun that I should know about over at Bromley? Other than a day cruising groomers over there in December, I haven't ski'd there since I was a kid.

I think they have a bar.

The fireplace is nice. Toasty.

The bar at Big Bromley has been serving PBR since 1938. Is that the kind of fun you were looking for?

To add insult to injury you get to look at Magic the entire time.

Not if its snowing hard.

Bromley is a fun little mtn. The right side is fun and the left and center you can crank out some big ol' turns on. Dare I say, Magicment should take notes, as Bromley does way more with what it has than Magic. And it has lifts (plural).

wake up beaters.
is it really only $20 on Thursday?
how much snow last night?
whose around, MMP, DW?
Rusty Groomer?, nah just kidding.

[krp8128]

Got a nice light 4-5" here last night. If Magic got the same its going to be a nice day!

You are correct, Magic is only $20 bucks on Thursdays (up from $15 last year, corporate bastards!). The one caveat is if they get over 6 inches its classified as a powder day and goes to normal pricing. I think PBRs may still only be $2.

Not exactly. Nearly 20 years removed from college, I can afford to drink decent beer. My apologies in advance to all the hipsters who think it's really cool to drink shitty beer.

[Peruvian]

If I wasn't hopping a flight to CO this morning, I'd show you around.

[jgb@etree]

Enjoy CO! At least you'll have some fun this weekend. Safe travels.

GetAmped late in the day:

Black was totally awesome even last run of the day. But that bitch Witch kissed my ass and gave me this little momento:

Fixed it for you. Nice edit.

Selling lift served skiing for $20 is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Is that the cheapest place in the country? It has to be. I don't get it. I like making a profit almost as much as a powder day.

[Peruvian]

^^^ haven't you ever heard, "the first hit is free"?

It's just that the same addicts keep coming.

I think the only thing crazier than having $20 tickets on Thursday is how few people take advantage.

Also.. did Magic really "only" get 2 inches of snow overnight? Seems like everyone from Brattleboro to Ludlow got 3-5". Snow hole? Or are we just that committed to underreporting snow totals?

[RustyGroomer]

All but one.

no, is that a drug thing?

maybe because the locals that would take advantage of that are skiing their stratton and bromley passes, or it could be a brilliant plan by magic to keep crowds low.

I think they should put a limit on the number of tickets they sell in a day. It should be just above what the one day high total ever was, and they should advertise the skiing experience, uncrowded slopes,......

Do not go gently into that goodnight, RAGE against the dying of the light,...

Mr. Melon, your wife was just showing us her Klimt.

You too, huh? She's shown it to everybody.

Well, she's very proud of it.

I'm proud of mine too. I don't go waving it around at parties, though.
