The whole point of mud season

Wednesday was finally a great day. I think 100 Acre Wood might be a new favorite run.
We're fucked now, though. Right when we finally got some decent coverage. uWu

Careful out there. I almost ate a tree today catching a stump.

Snowpark is open. Watch your head.

Snowpark is open?

Taildraggers in Montana are for rich assholes with more money than sense.

Bushwhacking out of the Outrun was fun. Not.
IDK why I'm still surprised or waste the energy being annoyed by Snowbowl's lack of care or maintenance of marked and open runs. [emoji849]

Remember when it used to be cold?
Also, Jamal, look at their snowmaking ponds. Doesn't seem like they can make much snow without running them dry.

They must have done a lot of work this summer if they are talking about opening Snowpark. Good thing it's supposed to rain and be warm now that I bought heated socks [emoji53]

I guess that one happened after I left, but when I left yesterday afternoon, man were there a lot of tracks going into Permafrost.
Ya gotta go in there once, but not once a year!

Someone DID go into the ditch! I left at 3:30 and saw some tracks there and just thought "already?". I mean, I know it's the middle of January, but you've only been able to ski down for like 3...

Lol

Also really like the quote on KPAX about "a new video or something" for the lifties. They really know how to talk to the press/public.

12/8 seems awfully optimistic. Snow levels? There are no levels because there is no snow. If you need me, I'll be sobbing in the corner.
At least the lift thing is just final paperwork and...

Guess who's getting bar code scanners!

Also, the drives to other places can really suck. I guess Disco can be down to an hour and a half. Sometimes it even snows there!
I have had some horrid drives to/from Lookout. That snow is so...

I always get the pass. Stockholm Syndrome, plus my schedule is always all over the place so skiing 20 minutes away is where it's at. Also, just in general.

I still have your photo I won on my wall!
Welcome to town.

Still debating the Indy pass addon. I don't like solo travelling. Need to get my housemate on board. Anyone know if Lifties get any...

Task failed successfully

Well, that seems a bit much. Maybe I just need someone to sell me their old pin tech setup so I'm not lugging an ongodly amount of weight uphill?

How do I motivate myself to do stuff?

Thanks the for info. I will also try not to block the gate. It opens out, right?

I thought I was supposed to go around private property?
Anyway, my tomorrow just opened up!

Soooooo, will I be able to just do some Paradise laps tomorrow afternoon if I go in and out through Neff and just follow the tracks?
All skied out by then?
Gotta drive a lift around tomorrow...

Trying to get him off my dick. Not my type.

Don't fucking talk to me. Don't remember I exist.

The fact is, old riblets can't handle wild Jerries. If you can't handle sitting down and standing up don't fucking ski. Or leave the house.

Why can't it be both? Like....have you seen people?
Also, anyone wanna hit Lookout tomorrow?

The real problem is their inability to communicate with people on any meaningful level. They waited a week and a half to make a statement? We can't say for sure that Snowpark would still be open if...

Apparently, I also complain about the terrain everywhere I go. I'm gonna be the bigger man and just ignore the creaky fossil some of y'all have turned into.
Also, Mo Z is dry. Walked up there with...

I still think rider error was involved. It was the last time a chair broke.

Goddammit.
Also, does that mean that Big Sky operates with basically no oversight since they're on private property? Cool. Although it sounds like everyone else is anyway. I have to say, though,...

Ok, that's great and all, but a lot of people seem to treat lightweight double lifts like they're highspeed 6 packs with heated bubbles. Calm the fuck down.
And yeah, Snowbowl could probably use...

My sympathies.
Of course The Missoulian got it wrong. Can't wait to see how they make it Snowbowl's fault somehow, too.




Don't be such a roadie.

Sunday was the best day all year, but I guess it's spring now?

Yeah, idk how my housemate enjoys it.
11 days to respond. Fucking brilliant.
I thought the universal opinion was that Andy was a dipshit and shouldn't be allowed near Snowbowl ops. I guess his...

Oh, I'm gonna think up a good one for that.

Snowpark still not running :(

WatSeems like a long skin because I understand there's a gate. That's where it turns to the Point 6 Road, right? Never been up that way.

Are people skinning up the closed end of Butler Creek Rd? It kinda looked like that.

People walk into oncoming traffic all the time, so maybe not?

You remember wrong, so you can STFU and go ski groomers with your kids.
If you swing a chair around like it's not designed to do, it can break. Weird how people got on and off thousands of other...

I once joked to someone that the newest things at Snowbowl were the Dewalt toolboxes at the bases of some of the towers where, I think, they keep the evac gear. I think it's always been like that...

It's probably Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

And yeah, Snowpark lift is a total kludge. But, again, everyone else gets on and off it just fine.

Like I said, Snowbowl's lifts are not idiot proof, but most people seem to be able to get on and off them without breaking them. It's like saying a street is dangerous because an idiot drove the...

Long story short, douchebag couldn't just sit down and let the lifties boost his kid. He kept trying to "help," then freaked out when his inability to load the lift properly broke it. Snowpark lift...

Those old double chairs aren't idiot proof.
To sum up my lifty housemate: they want "the pinnacle is when someone dies" on a t-shirt. I told them they should all wear it on closing day.
I have his...

Wednesday and Thursday were great!

Lol!
Today didn't suck. See ya again tomorrow.

Sick
