Made it up to Jay last Friday. Everything was on wind hold except for Bonaventure Quad, Taxi Quad, and the Metro Quad. A few inches of snow had fallen overnight while the mountain froze after Thursday’s rain. Wind was very high and blew most of this snow into the trees. Not much was open but...

Made a trip up to Titus last Thursday. Only the lower mountain was open and the temperature was in the mid 30s. The groomed trails were soft and all skied great. I was able to get a ton of laps in since there weren’t any lines. I tried skiing some of the ungroomed terrain as well but it was very...

Went here for the first time on Tuesday. It was very windy and only one trail was open but the snow was good all things considered. Got a ton of laps in and had a pretty good time.

It warmed up to 48 degrees today, resulting in some pretty fun spring conditions. Skyward was great, cloudspin has a thin cover and a lot of patches right now but that was a lot of fun as well. Hoping for colder temps and some more snow the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the concern guys, I think I’m alright. I’m still not sure what happened but I feel good now.

I haven’t done it yet but the other day I saw someone else get scooped up by a chair as he was shoveling and ride around the bullwheel. He ran off before the chair got to the skier that was loading thankfully.

Took my first chair hit yesterday trying to clear the pit and it drove my shovel into me. Can’t underestimate how powerful those chairs are. So far I’ve mostly had beginner chaos and yelling at guests that wouldn’t keep their masks on. Expecting a lot more of that to happen.

I’ve been a liftie at Mountain Creek for a bit more than a week now and today we had someone try to finesse our supervisor’s goggles. Dude asked me if he could borrow a pair of goggles when he was getting on the chair because he clearly forgot his goggles at home and couldn’t deal with the snow...

In the midst of this crazy weather and holiday season, the maniacs at Mountain Creek are spinning lifts until 4pm today. They will be opening at 9am (8am for season pass holders) and closing at 9pm tomorrow.

On Sunday my family and I went skiing at Plattekill. I woke up at about 6:30 so I could get ready and leave. I slept through the entire ride there and so did my brother. When we got there we were able to get a good parking spot and there weren't many people to get on the lifts before us. It was...
