Lovely morning

Good seeing Mute and Boo Bear. Skied for maybe a half hour with them and now riding solo because I'm pulling late shift. Figured I'd just write a TR now because these lifts are freaking slow. That said and not to put a negative on skiing here today. The weather is excellent, conditions are excellent and the company was (before they left) most excellent! The north face always delivers and as always I find myself planted there. Made a few runs up top and one on the long haul (can't do that ride twice) but the action here is down below. Unfortunately that cuts the mountain on half so you definitely feel the short runs. White lightning has really big bumps in the middle and semi flat on the sides. Regardless you can't get to much speed or you'll get wrecked. Fun but I kinda prefer it when it's flat. It's actually somewhat crowded today as well but those folks primarily up top. Riding the iron horse lift now to get more t2b. That said montage is still a pod skiing mountain which isn't my favorite layout... In pa or anywhere for that matter but today is still a fantastic ski day and it's always nice to get someplace else. That said without company on the lift, the ride definitely gets boring. Hanging here for a few more then it's of to old forge for pizza

Double dipped in the afternoon yesterday. Snow softened up across the mountain so the trails did get marginally better than they were at 9:30 but it was still pretty rough out there. Razors opened around 2 and the first two runs on it were fantastic but it too got rough pretty fast. Longest day at Blue so far for me.

Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot around 715am and it was in the mid 20s under mostly sunny sky’s with light winds. In the house was everybody except Root, Toast, AngryHugo, TP4, Salty and Matt Edge. Second civilian OG six pack to challenge which was real nice lipstick on a pig grooming..second run was still good, third run was pretty much destroyed cookieville. Lazy mile was good on the top 2/3 with a little new manmade. Coming soon they seeded some new bumps and it was pretty slick. Switchback was ok and I got an empty run on it. I also skied one run on nightmare to Dreamweaver and while it’s a diversion from the crowds, they really ruined that run with features. I ended the session on Burma and it was hilariously slick…fun parking lot, I had a few beers and some cheese doodles and now at work counting money, gonna grocery shop and do the wash. JADIP

Jelly, drink a beer for me, on my way home from VT.

Man if there were discounts for every time I had a BM I’d be skiing for free for all of eternity. Edit. sorry for the dad joke eaf. No there aren’t

The first run down Razors was delicious..TCS got scratchy pretty quick...Everything on the MS side rode well.Fast runs down Raceway/Mid/LM..Trying to ride a bit longer despite the crowds.

Great weekend at Snowmass. Had a friend come visit. Bluebird and warm both days. Light crowds surprisingly. New boots are $$. That bootfitter at Highlands knows his shit. Natalie in Powerline Glades skied Longshot for the first time. I think it just opened last weekend. It is indeed long. 3 miles and 3275’ of vert. The first 2 miles are bumps and trees then it’s just ungroomed crud. Our legs were pretty toasted by the end. hiking up views at the top signs tell you when you are 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of the way down. definitely a run that’s more fun with a friend then solo.

Day 42. A real mixed bag. First run was a confidence-destroying slog through windpack, looking for blown-off areas or chopped up stuff. Headed to back and found Saturday-level crowds. Then went over to Chair 2 for mashed potatoes and cottage cheese.

Just getting here. You guys still here

@mute1080 and I are headed up now, will get there for 9am. Still have 4 free tickets as well

For anyone going still I probably won't be there until 10:00 10:30

Decent day today, at least early on. Wish it'd stay a little less busy a little longer. Nice weather for the parking lot. Big fan of all the pizza talk.

Hey all, I’m back from another fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot before 720am and it was 20 degrees under mostly sunny sky’s. In the house was everybody except Atomic Jeff, Johnny Law, TP4, Zonked, Toast, Root and Nancy. First run on Challenge was super nice almost western groomer, second run was similar..then Switchback was pretty nice although super dark. Lazy mile was alright and I enjoyed the left side of Nightmare to Dreamweaver park. A revisit to challenge and it got trashed in the first 45 minutes a pit of ice and cookies. They blew some snow on tuts lane, Widowmaker and I think chute and all those areas weren’t very good. Coming soon was decent and I did a full run on Burma which was good except one of the corners was porcelain boilerplate..I ended on lazy for ten runs by 945am. Fun parking lot and pleasent weather. All in all better than expected since they had all three high speeds going. It got super busy the last few runs and after I quit for the session. JADIP

Early runs put a smile on your face.Chilly first thing but soon warmed up.Had fun riding with a high school bud today.

Trying it without the angle iron. Moving it every 20 minutes and adding a log .

The first few runs were so money. Was thinking of course thinking it was only a matter of time before that disappeared. Surprisingly however conditions held up fairly well. Really fun day today.

Sorry I couldn't make it today. Work called. Have a great time!

@RidgeRacer I’m unfortunately out for today. Been feeling crappy since I got back and haven’t kicked it yet. I owe you a ski day
