  1. snow report: wed jan 25, 2023 howdy all looked like it might be nice sunny morning with some blue skies as i got to the hill. met brudda dane on chair 2 and our first run on ed's with the sun shinning and great grooming and nobody around was awesome. then by the second run the clouds came over and no more blue skies. super high overcast and fog on the summit made the lighting a little flat. dane, cuban, dredman, johnasmo and me making laps on chair 2 in the morning and later on chair 1. with no new snow groomers are getting buffed out smooth and only lightly skied off powdered sugar. it has been on the colder side, but next week is forecasted to get really cold with the artic air pushing down from the north. today was super fun... rode the 165amt from 9 till 2...

  4. snow report: mon jan 23, 2023 howdy all a little new overnight and foggy all day. fog moves around and thick at times. had a surprise guest today and it was nice to see brudda dane. had a nice group today with dane, cuban, dredman, johnasmo, mario, rick and me. groomers was good with a little new on top and carved really good. could have been a really good day if it wasn't so foggy. was a super fun day riding with the crew... rode the 168vsr from 9 till 2...
  5. snow report: fri jan 20, 2023 howdy all a nice cooler morning with super high overcast and vis was good. a little fog on the summit and some wind made it a little chilly. ed's run on chair 2 was groomed good, but a bit icy firm and kinda of a harsh ride. the groom does not get chewed up so stays pretty smooth all day. rode with cuban all morning then with johnasmo and later with allee. gave allee the grand tour and we rode chairs 1,2,4,5, 7 and 8, it was nice to see allee again. it was a long day for me, but it was super fun... made some good turns... rode the 165amt from 9 till 3:30...
  6. snow report: thu jan 19, 2023 howdy all after six days of staying home with the crud got a little antsy pants and had to go up and meet the ohio boys. thick fog from opening and moving around all day. lightly snowing in the morning with a couple inches of new snow over groomers. stayed dry today which was good cause heard yesterday was a super rimey day. groomers was crumbly mixed in with the new snow so not the best conditions and the fog did not help. was not confident and just going by muscle memory and carve where it looked doable. cruised around looking for the boys and saw them in passing only then met cuban as he was coming out of the hellroaring saloon at noon as we ended our day... forecast is slightly cooler next week so maybe no more fog... rode chair 4 for the second time... rode the 165amt from 9 till 12:30...

  13. snow report: fri jan 13, 2023 howdy all stayed home today, woke up with a sore throat, hope i get better by next week... today was warm and sunny and the bigs snow report was not good... forecast is plenty snow next weekend... we will see... here is part of the bigs snow report... Deep thoughts by Rhyan*: Friday, Jan. 13, 2023: 12:30 p.m. update: Sunshine and warm temperatures on the lower mountain have baked up some mash potato style skiing, so if you have an appetite it's quite fun. Off-piste hardpack has softened as well! Be aware of some sticky and grabby snow in some low spots. Overcast skies are moving in but we still have clear visibility top to bottom.
  14. snow report: thu jan 12, 2023 howdy all classic big mtn foggy day and snowing all morning. started with a little new over groom and it kept piling up. ed's run was good early with the new soft snow and could carve right thru then as the snow kept piling up it got bumpy as the push piles firmed up a bit. carved good early and made many good turns as the new snow meshed with the firm groomers. did a few runs with johnasmo before i ended my day... today was really fun... rode the 168vsr from 9 till 12:30...
  15. snow report: wed jan 11, 2023 howdy all looked foggy from town, but as i got to the hill the fog was burning off with blue skies above. as i got ready and got started it turned overcast and lite fog moving around. kinda flat light, but groom was really good and smooth on ed's. i knew it was going to be a good groomer day after yesterdays soft groomers. brought the softboots cause wanted to do the soft carve. the 160 donek incline worked its magic and was super fun on the smooth groomers. today was not busy and there were many times i was the only one on ed's and felt safe and could enjoy myself. took a break about noon and was thinking about staying till 2pm, but as i got back out the thick fog was everywhere top to bottom so over and out... today was good... rode the 160inc from 9 till 12:30...
  16. snow report: tue jan 10, 2023 howdy all a wet warm humid morning and looking at the classic big mtn fog from town. the big reported 3 inches of new overnight and it was groomed in on ed's run. wanted to ride the softboots on a soft groomers day and it was the perfect day for it. fog was moving around and thick at times. all the lifts on the front stops for a little while and gets annoying. chair 2 stopped about 11:30 to 11:45 so decided to ride the new chair 4. everyone says that the new chair has thick comfy seat and it was. toni matt and the front was kinda bad so back to ed's cause the snow was much better. so the top of chair 2 was blue sky and the main ed's run was thick fog and as i was sitting near the bottom a little girl about 7 or 8 years old skis by and says "i lost my dad and i am scared" so we looked around and i decided we go to the bottom of chair 2 and waited for her dad and sure enough he shows up so did my good deed for the day... was a fun day on the softboots... rode the 160inc from 9 till 12:30...
  17. snow report: mon jan 09, 2023 howdy all was not feeling it today and forced myself to go up cause it was a nice day with blue skies and comfy temps. groom was better on chair 2 so stayed there most of the morning. chair 1 was a little polished ice with a dusting of powdered sugar and hard to dig in. every chair ride on chair 2 stopped for a little while and looking at the other chairs it would stop just for a little while too. did a couple runs with rick first thing in the morning then he left. made some good turns so today was fun. just missed 11:45 snowbus so had a pizza and caught the next one... rode the 165amt from 9 till 11:30...
  18. snow report: fri jan 06, 2023 howdy all classic big mtn fog top of chair 2 on up and very thick on top. stayed on chair 2 cause snow was good, but there was an uneven groom in the middle of ed's, it was annoying and skiers right was not groomed about a pass and a half. chair 2 was getting busy and as i was making a lap i noticed the chair was stopped so went to chair 1 to the summit. the fog was thick near the summit and could not see chair 4 to the right so back to chair 2 and no wonder it was busy. i did not feel safe making turns as it got busier and about 11:15am chair 2 stopped right when i was at the top. i could touch the landing with the tip of my board. waited for a few minutes and the liftie came out and said it might be awhile so i slid off and he helped me by pulling me on the landing. so with the crowds and the chair issues it was time so called it... today was fun riding the 168vsr and making super tight turns... rode the 168vsr from 9 till 11:30...
  19. snow report: thu jan 05, 2023 howdy all super high overcast and groom was kinda good. groom was good on chair 2 so stayed there all morning, took a run to the summit and did toni matt, but it was polished ice with a little sugar on top, it was better on chair 2. took it easy and carved the easy pitch. i was tired from riding hard on yesterdays good snow. forecast is no snow till the middle of the month. we need a lot more snow to fill in the whole mountain. they have not groomed larch yet and there are still foot high little pines. the snow is getting old and we really need a refresh now... today was fun... rode the 165amt from 9 till 12:30...

  22. snow report: wed jan 04, 2023 howdy all overcast just over the big with sometimes sun tries to poke thru. an inch or two of new snow groomed in and that made for good groomers. early was really good then later was slightly grabby. the new snow really helped and made for nice smooth groomers. could let the board fly and had a super fun day. rode hard for three hours in the morning and did not take a break. today was super fun and made many good turns. then later slept like a baby all night... rode the 165amt from 9 till 12:30...
