Eastcoast Roll Call TwoTwo/TwoThree A Slow Start to a Big Finish

[buckethead]

Good on Mt. Rose for still offering 2fer Tuesdays for at least the last 25 years. Not much else in the ski industry has stayed the same for the last 1/4 century.

$69 Ladies Days thursdays too. how many NE mountains even offer $69 tix ever?

[skinipenem]

chutes aren’t open…. Too much snow and avy danger insane. They still do two fers. This is my buddies home mtn now. Place is a blast. 44” in the last 48hr. Taking a mid morning coffee, I mean soup break.

That's really too bad. The chutes are what makes rose great skiing. Hopefully chutes open while you're there. Word from a fellow may that just moved away from the shithole of reno is that rose hasn't been getting the chutes open regularly for some time... like seasons. I really hope they open while you are there. Possibly the best combo of vertical, pitch, and crowds in the Tahoe area. Was our home mountain for a winter.

Hey Harv, I realize that I miscredited Laps photo, glad you figured it out.

Patrol was busy from first light shoveling hydraulic fluid contaminated snow into bags and sleeping them down. Surface Whore texted that he heard yelling whilst on the lift, they lost a sled and it zoomed down the hill into some trees.










Final check around 2pm just before opening the trail. I passed as the grooming didn't look so great



Even getting out late there was still some fresh left to shred



Other than the heavy chemtrailing it was a beautiful day to be out on the hill









Not sure about this sticker, someone want to investigate what the message is?




Just waiting






24º calm w/misting snow falling bob

They were blasting the chutes yesterday afternoon with hopes they could get them to release so they could open them today. Not looking great. I got two of the best days of skiing in my short young life yesterday and Tuesday. They opened zephyr late yesterday and that hadn’t been touched in a week. It was unreal good.

I have this morning left to make some turns and the temptation is real on the chutes. Well, was real until I saw the crown line in the zephyr bowl on skiers right of the lift, so just about same aspect of the chutes. And that 3’ crown line that is 200-300’ long is enough for me to smarten up. Whatever they got to go yesterday in zephyr was huge. Pretty sure it was delayed opening because they needed to remove all the trees that came in that slide yesterday morning. It was pretty impressive. Ski Patrol was stand on the top of the chutes yesterday afternoon and it was constant bombs every ten minutes from 12-2pm.


but to speak to lift lines…. Skied on the lift for the last two days. Played at squaw on Friday, I’ll never go back during a storm cycle or if the wind is blowing, place is useless. Alpine meadows was Saturday and Sunday. Base to base was closed for the millionth time since just opening because of wind. Alpine still had crazy lines but it was the weekend, the skiing was great. Wind had a bunch of upper stuff on hold as well.

Rose delivered. Not only did they get almost twice as much snow as north lake, but the wind protection seems to be a little better for storms coming from the west. Not to mention, 8260 which is the base of rose, is just about the top of palisades.

Bolton Valley has $69 mid week tix (much less if you buy in advance)

[ex-powderbroker]

la reserve raised their midweek from 15 to 25 this year, but it could be a good option soon.

vallee bleue is pretty fun for 22-27 midweek.

those are the cheapest and most interesting midweek hills in the laurentians if anyone wants to dirtbag for 1980’s prices.

neither have a lot of vert but i’m always entertained for a day at least.

yes a small handful (i bought a $65 mid-week ticket at MRG in december but had to eat it. ) was more a rhetorical question - but i do appreciate the info.

Was it just one winter? Yes, I think a few hard lessons were learned over the years. I've set off 3-4 solid slides...had my spidey senses go off once and did a ski cut jump and set off a monster that would have done some damage if someone was below me...lost a pair of poles in another one I set off in Nightmare. Alas...off to Jay for the weekend

Get some Joey!

I ski a few. Some might dispute the term "mountains" though.

Two Mondays ago I just paid the most I'd ever paid at McCauley - $40.

yes fwiw i pay $34 for the 3-10pm shift at jim. peak.
thinking more of our bigger resorts...as mt rose is a very big resort.

and again, more a rhetorical question and offering of props to mt rose.

Just because I have no skiing plans, but Bridger Bowl at $70 has to be one of the best deals out there. At least the ice was good enough to skate on past few days

Freaking inflation. Love me some Glen Ellen. Should be $30. 8) it is still a nice mountain.

I will definitely be joining you for few of those this season once this plane gets off the runway..

That $40 at McCauley appeared to have a nice yield Harv.

Hard to complain about that. With a dick in her mouth.


Otoh she’s got a tongue in the vag so it’s all good.

[Brownski]

Jiminy has always had great deals. It’s good to know they’re still doing it

[Vt-Freeheel]

The fuck is core shot babbling about?

[powbmps]

Great day to hit Magic on the Indy Pass. One way down from the top so no.......not really.
