    The funny thing about PCMR is that aside from Jupiter, the best skiing at the mountain is OG Park West. Fantastic, long north facing runs.

    The potential strike with Vail was ski patrol. Pretty crazy how shit those guys are paid in conjunction with the level of responsibility.

    When were you not seeing lines @rodmansrage ?

    i was up there on sunday, maybe a few minutes in each line on both the pcmr and canyons side.

    the parking at pcmr is just shit, people were commenting on how bad it was but how short the wait lines.

    tbh, pcmr is probably more 'family friendly' or if you're on vacation and dont really know how to ski. canyons, more technical.

    i think staffing has been an issue, super condor lift hasnt been open much.

    Also exploring new terrain at Crystal.


    Still one of the best views in the bidness. Just stunning.

    These Blue Bird days are shit as fuck if you ask me. I like Blue Bird days in the spring when the sun hits stuff early and softens things up. We've had like 2+ weeks straight of high pressure crap and the freeze/thaw cycle has left massive amounts of blue, death ice. I thought I was gonna get little piss killed last Sunday.

    Yeah, I think Xmas week was when they got totally crushed.

    The Super Condor thing is a fucking joke. That's the best lift in Park City and to not have that open regularly is shit as fuck.

    yeah it was that week. we always get out of town then cause its a shitshow in pc (moreso than usual) and our passes are blacked out.

    itll be interesting to see how that resort develops over the next 5 years. i think theres going to be one more condo/townhome project put in the canyons next to the silverado lodge. pcmr will be more of a shitshow if that development goes up where the parking lot is.

    as we say, should be chinteresting.

    It's hard to imagine the Seattle folks not fighting more forest land for skiing in court for 30 years

    Was on a ski date once and while waiting in a lift line I wondered aloud why Stevens didn't open up more of the hill for skiing. She looked at me like I'd just shot her dog or something.

    Hopefully you left her at the top of Nasty Gash (no pun intended) to find her own way down.

    She was my ride home, but things ran their course pretty quickly after that day.

    Yes, this afternoon. After the thaw.

    Not great but I'll take it the first tim the backside has been open all year at Stevens. The variable conditions keep you on your toes, but just soft enough to not be miserable.

    Honestly it was fascinating to see Corona bowl this way. Riders have a way of pushing snow in different directions, causing different undulations. So in a way, today was pure terrain. I enjoyed despite the non-optimal snow.


    Looking forward to Monday after a scheduled refresh Sunday.

    As far as skiing goes. These are the days I live for.

    PCMR is reporting a base of 41" which is shit as fuck, bruh. Jupiter needs to be, at least, 70" or more to be decent.

    Yes, it does very much suck. This is not sustainable.

    Exactly why I made it up yesterday, because the next 10 days will suck for us powder chasers.

    Two fucking life flights off the mountain yesterday. Crazy. Both on the fucking bunny hill/beginner slopes.

    Which is why the Throbber stays the fuck away from those clowns. About killed a ski school kid yesterday passing him on a cat track. When The Throbber yells "on your right" that means I'm passing on the fucking right...don't turn right, you dumb fuck.

    Had this happen the other day.

    Picked my line and committed. All of a sudden the 6yo 35 yards to the left cut hard in front of me. Thankfully I got on the ground to avoid in time. Too close for comfort.

    The thing is if you're skiing around 6 years old on greens or blues and you hit them as the up hill skier, it means you fucked up bad.

    I know it's annoying, but extreme caution is merited here.

    I told a couple of assholes on the green runs to slow down. If some asshole ever hits my kid, the gloves will come off and not @Tequilla style. More like Forest Gump style.
