Big Bear 3-24-11
My rule of thumb is when the conditions are good, go to Bear Mt
(because the elevation is slightly higher and the terrain is more challenging) and when the conditions are bad, go to Snow Summit (because they groom better, they handle crowds better and there is more variety in the trail network). Given the storm earlier in the week and the sudden small storm last night, I figured good conditions and headed to Bear Mt. Unfortunately, the snow was wet when it fell, and then it got cold later in the night. It looked like powder, but it was better for making snowmen than skiing on. Other than the mess underfoot, it was a beautiful day - blue sky, cold breeze, temps a little below freezing. I tried to ski it like powder, but the sticky internal mass made that impossible. It was better after it had been hacked up a bit, so I could make turns in the scrambled eggs and run straight through the mayonnaise. I even tried a couple of runs of short-swing turns down a snow-board glide-path. That got some compliments from other skiers which surprised me - no one ever said that sort of thing to me before. Maybe it was because everyone was having trouble with the conditions. The final straw was when Chair 9 broke down - the slow-down mechanism at the top of the lift stalled and the attendant had to push chairs around by hand. They ran it long enough that way to unload the passengers and then shut it down. To add insult to injury, they started up the old Chair 1, which only goes up about 2/3 of the way now. After noon, I headed over to Snow Summit. The snow there was pretty much the same, but it had been groomed and skied out more so it was more enjoyable. Chairs 1 and 6 were not operating, which made for a few liftline delays on Chair 2, where I stayed most of the time except for a couple of escapes on Chairs 3 and 7. Chains were required on SR38 going up from 5 miles below Onyx Summit, over and down in to the village. I kept them on because the road up the BM parking lot was icy, although it was melting out even in the early morning and the "Chains Required" signs were not posted. By the time I moved over to SS, the lots and streets were bare, and the road was clear except for a little mel****er on the trip back down in the afternoon. |

Followup:
I was taking a break at BM yesterday morning when Chair 9 had its troubles. When I came out and headed for Chair 9, the patroller closing the line said that Chair 1 would open soon, and sure enough they were already cranking it up and clearing snow off the chairs, so I slogged uphill 50 feet or so and got in the little line. They started loading as soon as the top attendant rode up. I ended up paired with a talkative 50-ish blonde who told me about a deal better than a season pass - volunteer 2 days a month at the US ARC facility at Bear Mountain and get a season pass for free. The only requirements are a current CPR card and a ski ability test early in the season. I found their website: http://www.usarc.org/ |

Now go **** yourself, asshole. |

I'm talking about being in Canada. You know, the country I'm not supposed to be able to enter because you claimed to have told a bunch of lies to Canadian LE? How humiliating for you. And then you humiliate yourself again. |
