Snore, the last guy who talked like that ended up in Sacramento

Evaluation tomorrow, maybe start working on your cough.

Awesome.  I, myself, may have a bad case of pretendinitis.

Mountain seems to be implying on social media that there will be no slides this weekend.

What did you see?  I scanned through FB and Twitter and didn’t see any comments.

83 of 86.......not bad, but I think the headwall on Sky is way too thin! 🤔

Slides aren't counted in the terrain numbers or percentage.  Makes sense as that's really up to mother nature rather than management whether they're open.  It would be 86 of 86 if they got their act together and made snow on Hoyt's and Lookout Below rather than spending all their time and money on the stupid lodge.  I've always wanted to get in SVG so maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

Avi warnings in High Peaks, that ice & crust underneath will needs to consolidate

Goes without saying that Avy forecasts and evaluation of conditions would be considered in any decisions.  Z is right, given stability issues and recent activity near Mansfield it would be no surprise if the Slides don’t open.  Just curious if, and where, WF is actively poo-pooing the prospects.

What an awesome day ... couldn't stay the whole day because I had to leave to get some work done, but my legs were shot anyway!

Unbelievable amount of snow in Cloudsplitter Glades and on Upper Cloud ... It's been quite a few years since I've been able to go through those areas without having to "pick my way through"!!!
I even skied the middle of Upper Cloud ... It was awesome!!!

You're the kind of person who would win a 350 million dollar PowerBall lottery jackpot and bitch about having to split it with another winner.

You seriously need to grow up ... For your sake, I genuinely hope you do.

So cool!

Glad you guys got it primo up there

Everywhere else is 100% open.

That being said I've never seen that much snow on Cloud so maybe Hoyt's is poachable.

You need to get up here pronto
I’ll even buy you a beer - even the cheap swill you like - but at Poormans not the fancy pants restaurant at WF

AuSable Brewing is open for St Patty’s Day this  Saturday too! Otherwise you need to wait until May to go there.

Yo Yukon,

Eddie Two Sheets and I are heading up North on a Wilmington Adventure.  Eddie just got back from Grand Targhee, dealing with 48" of blower fluff, couldn't see him in any photos in the White Room of Idaho, (he's only five foot, nothing).  Maybe you could ski him down Cloudspin on your shoulders, so we can actually get photographic evidence that Eddie did ski Snorkel-Snow.  If you ski goodly with Eddie aboard I'll let you buy me a Jameson's in honor of our Sacred Holiday.  Jus' Say'in.

Ski You On The Hill.  

64ER.

Hoyt’s High!

Empire!
