I rode with a long time ridin partner who I had not seen in quite a few years....Had to park at the top lot to redeem my buddy pass...I pulled in to park at the usual when I was met with a road block..That area is paid parking...The gravel lot sucks...Lower is soooo much better....Today was good...Lots of sun/no wind....Coming Soon was extra spicy....About 11:30 it softened up to a pretty sweet ride...Lots of crumbs here and there early....Super fun spring skiing...Rode from 9-1....Long session..Saw GSS,TP4and JLaw...and I think I saw ZZSlope....Had lunch and a beer Slope Side....Always good catching up with a friend you haven't seen in a long time...

Today was pretty awesome, coming soon was extra special but everything else was boost city. I love spring skiing but this year it's too early and it's sad to listen to it all melt.

Hey All, I’m back from a fun morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower low at 830am and it was 36 degrees in the valley and in the low 40s up high with some lingering low fog. In the house were Johnny Law, Harold, C1er, Airhead, Mixilplix and many others. Fourth civilian quad and there was quite the line up at the opening Bell, probably 75-100 people already. First run in Paradise because it’s nice having that empty and it was pretty smooth with some large bare spots. Next run Coming soon which was super rough ungroomed solid and I skid into a bare area but didn’t fall. My favorite run today was lower Widowmaker which was half width to chute to lower Main Street. Chute was nice corn and lower main was choppy but soft. Challenge was alright pretty thick but it will be a mogul field soon. I didn’t ski razors, it looked fisrmish and not super smooth. Upper Main Street, switchback and Razorback are closed along with Sidewinder. I skied lazy mike once and it was smooth enough..With only the quad running, there was 1-3 minute liftline after a few runs and when I left at 1030 there was almost a full corral. Let’s hope they have more than one lift open tomorrow. All in all Blue lost a lot of snow but the conditions were better than expected, not as nice as sundays spring snow but pretty good.

Nice inversion this morning

Lol … @GrilledSteezeSandwich did a good job of staying upright. That first run down was no fall zone. In the afternoon it was a 1000% better. Before I ran into the bumpers I hiked up Barneys and ran the tail end of the line. The Bumpers built a line on chute and we hit that a bunch. Razors softened up nicely, last run down challenge was heavy but fun. The line was better after lunch even before the six opening. Stayed till 2 , glad I played hooky today Pretty sweet but the weather is not looking good.

Someone on the lift said an employee told them blue is trying to stay open til the 24th which is why pond skimming hasn’t been announced yet. A story like that has to be true.

See Dime you have power, they stopped on a Dime with their plans because of you.

Hopefully those new liners are better for keeping the heel in proverbial pocket.

This doesn't seem different to me than any other year since I started skiing at Blue. They've always seemed to shut down midweek skiing right around when there was barely enough snow to make two more weekends. And that's where they're at right now. It doesn't seem like a different strategy, it's just happening earlier. Of course, Side and Switch would have still been open if they didn't waste days of single digits and teens not blowing any snow on them earlier.

Just booked the Dom pass again for the 24-25 season. Gets me unlimited days wherever I want to go for however much I want to spend. Pretty awesome deal

Man…you really went from blue the true this and that to blue hater. Looks like you….. turned on a Dime? (Ba dumm tiss).

It's a gorgeous night out here. Crowds are minimal. Skiing right onto the lifts. Snow is excellent,spring mashed potatoes. Some places still have base. Others are grass. 24th may be wishful thinking at this point. Either way hella fun spring night... Even if it is a little too early. Some closings.. Other trails are cut in half. Coming soon is going fast. Enjoy it while you can

Limes are kind of stumpy. I left before the 6 opened and the quad was maybe 2-3min.

New 6 is running. Not loading yet though.

I guess passholders do have a voice 😇 Thank you Blue!!

36 at the base prob about 45 at the peak.

really?

Lazy is ROTN. can get some speed without breaking for thin spots. Razors is good too. Big bumps

I really want skiing to go on forever, but im a realist. NMDW has tons of snow. But paradise will be a problem. Razors has tons of snow until you get to the runout before homie stretch. I guess they can start pushing from the sides. Next weekend it will certainly be “experts only”. Lol.

I wanted to take the spicer line on the far right and ran out of snow and was already committed. By the time I was back on the snow you and JLAW were already merging into lower Paradise which was wall to wall Chris Christie’s..rest of my runs were pretty empty…I give Airhead props…he motors through the chop..and I saw him bunny hop a bare spot like nothing..

Day 46. Another bluebird day.

Real nice surface early, getting softer by 1130. Same stuff was open reported for yesterday. See what survives the 1.5" of rain they are supposed to get tomorrow through open on Sun. Love the slopeside parking - effectively makes time from home to JFBB slopes only an extra 5 min longer than getting to Blue or CBk.

2385 tickets available each day mid week right now.

My heel is going to be so snug in the pocket that you I'm going to need a crowbar to get it out. @AtomicSkier is going to be super jealous of my heel security on a warm, sunny day.

Today after work, tomorrow and Sunday morning. Hoping the forecast of rain holding off til noon on Saturday is right

Tonight and Sat and Sun regardless of weather.

I’m laughing at the turned on a dime comment….that’s my big Blue..Let’s fucking go!!!!

Day 45. Glorious day, cold, no liftlines, like we'd stepped back in time.

Another 6-8” overnight. Did a nice little morning ski from my front door. My side of the neighborhood is always last to be plowed. Here is what my street looked like. A little less work on the return as I used my own tracks My dog loves to just chill in the snow I think Aspen recorded 24”. We got a solid 16-18” in 36 hours Double post of this pic I can’t seem to delete

I ditched my cousin and Paul early to take some fast runs with you guys. I can pretend I’m 40 for a while. 😁

Razors left side was my ROTD. Right side was still icey when I called it a day. Made the mistake of TCS as first run.

Nice report and I don’t even have to ask how Floyd’s was!!!

When I go on a ski trip, first of all I’m happy to be away from work, I’m happy to be skiing many days in a row and conveniently staying pretty close to the slopes…I’m happy to eat at all kinds of different restaurants..I’m happy to be skiing big mountain terrain……if there’s powder great…but it’s never really expected…the weather changes..last year in Jh, atomic Jeff didn’t even bring his fattest skis cause it wasn’t supposed to snow much and it snowed three and a half feet in like 36 hours. Also try to get a day in at powder mountain..

This is grate. Time to bring out your tropical plants and animals. I blame the groundhog, Al Gore, and Chy-na.

Everyday next week looks like nice weather in terms of sunshine. High of 64 Wednesday and high of 67 on Thursday for Allentown. Sheesh.

It looks like Blue is gonna be open next week during the week but only until 4pm… edit: night skiing on Friday, closing at 4pm Monday to Thursday.

I don't really want to drive out to Roundtop, but uphill has me 5% interested.

Of course, Side and Switch would have still been open if they didn't waste days of blowing on NMDW so they could put features up. pretty much the same argument.

I'm 100% going to get me and my son Ikon base plus passes again. Best deal by far for us. Jackson, Taos, Sugarbush, Killington, Stratton at the very least for us plus 5 days for the young man at Blue.

Making me want to run up tonight now. Definitely in for Sat and Sun

damn gonna be quite a crew on a friday night

This afternoon/night, tomorrow and Sunday mornings.

the projected conditions report for tomorrow is actually pretty surprising. no sidewinder (but that's been gone), switchback gone and glades gone. everything else is open. oh and x-ing is closed. granted it's projected but i thought things would have been a lot worse.

Straight Fleetwood Mac style

-- what actually happens when a survey comes in --

I can't imagine many people are going to ski this weekend. But who knows.

it would be a beautiful morning to be skiing right now..

You should really show KSL whats up by getting a pass at Mountain Creek or Shawnee. At the end of the season, they end midweek stuff. Always. nothing new here.

Day 44. Ankle deep to boot cuff height freshies on the back.
