    Please tell me that everyone here knows a bluebird day means powder...

    WFT is it with people posting "what a great bluebird day!" on social media nowadays, and it's fucking boilerplate? We're not fisherman complaining they forgot their polarized shades. We're skiers/riders. If there's no clouds, it's guess what? A sunny day. Like the other 30+ days like that this year. Nothing special about it. Truth be told I prefer the storm days to bluebird days because it cuts the kook ratio in half.

    Bluebird means it’s Twitterable. Right?

    Guys?

    Back in the 90’s, we called clear sky days blue blazers. There were no southern migrating (eastern) birds involved. Snow conditions did not factor in; powder, groomer, or death crust all the same under blue blazer conditions.

    I was spending a winter building houses so I could hitchhike to the mountains on the weekends. Storm of the year is forecasted to hit overnight on a Thursday. Contemplate calling in sick on Friday but I know the foreman is a skier and he will bust me.

    Show up to work Friday morning. Foreman called in “sick”. Lesson learned.

    Did you call them blue blazers because you were blazed?

    In the PNW any day it isn’t raining and viz > 50 yards is considered bluebird

    I agree. I have friends who ski but aren't skiers and they'll drop blue bird and it drives me nuts. Like, it hasn't snowed for over a week? WTF are you talking about?

    Call it whatever you want. Just enjoy your time while skiing and be courteous to those around you while doing so. Motherfuckers worry too much about what others say and "post". Get your head out of your ass and pay more attention to the moment and what is in front of you right now.
