Thank you, Mike and Keith, for your shoutout to YES - you're great YES Ambassadors! Geoff and Molly - we truly appreciate your partnership - we can't wait to get back to Blue Hills SA this season!
Geoff/Molly, good to see the energy! I learned there in the early 70s and still live nearby. My only comment is to ask why they haven't been blowing snow "wall-to-wall" on Big Blue slope. They only blow the south half(right side looking up) which does get more shade and hold the snow better, but there used to be J-Bar on the north side, so they always blew the whole slope wall to wall. And when there are racers/gates, that makes it even less acreage available for everyone. Here's to a cold and snowy start!
With the topic of climate change, this subject should always be accompanied with historical data. There were decades of mild and snowless winters in the 1800s and 1900s that people always ignore. Understanding climate change exists, mountains need to be more efficient and resilient. Blue Hills has so much potential to do better and I'm excited to see what's to come.

Live near Blue Hills and want to teach my sister to ski, should she take lessons at Wachussett or Blue Hills? (Leaning toward Wachusett)
