i was up there on sunday, maybe a few minutes in each line on both the pcmr and canyons side.YellowSnow said:
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 ?
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. -
Still one of the best views in the bidness. Just stunning.pawz said:Blue bird days have been fun.
Also exploring new terrain at Crystal.
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.

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.YellowSnow said:

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

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

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

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.
