  4. 3/5..night moves..chilly

    in Blue Mountain

    Posted

    I was there from late morning til 5:15- gorgeous bluebird day- kept lapping the HS6, got tons of vertical- conditions were excellent, everyone I talked to on the lifts were saying what a great day it was- lots of tracks in the woods, never seen so many- did you notice that the future trail next to Paradise was carved up by poachers?...….

    I just bought new ski pants at Buckmans..I haven’t been able to find ski pants I like in at least 9-10 years as I bought first pair of ride snowboard pants 13-14 years ago and exact same pair a few years later.  Sucks pants that fit my waist have super long legs.  I don’t know how Johnny Law does it.  Found marker ski pants in the clearance..has this inner material which is weird..almost like mesh.  Anyway I’ll figure out how to shorten the legs.  Maybe with rubber bands. Least exciting purchase ever..

    I got some Patagonia pants last year after an instructor tipped me off about their Worn Wear site- yeah I was skeptical about the 'worn' part...but when they arrived turns out they were brand spankin new....got em for half price, great deal

    New page! 

     

    I'm hard as fuck.  Thanks for the good thoughts.  I'll be back this season, you can count on that. Oh and welcome to PASR.  Which exit are you from?

     

    Sleeping last night was tough but I'm feeling better today.  I'm taking a steady cocktail of THC, CBD,  Vimovo and Tylenol.  They should make Vimovo over the counter, thankfully I have a huge leftover supply of it.  I was able to roll my back on the foam roller for a bit.  That felt good too.  Spent 3 hours driving to Trevose and back today.

    Yeah my buddy says nighttime is the worst.

    Eh? Why is this season crappy? And why would you go to MC during a crappy season? Should be the opposite.

    Crappy natural conditions I meant, sorry. Places that have better snowmaking/grooming systems built to withstand this weather provide more reliable conditions imho, e.g. MC & Pa.

    Hopefully the next 7 weeks will deliver some natural.

    One trail is gone, yeah, its not even in the map anymore. Locals say it's because if some pipeline crossing it.

    Too bad that one trail (Pipeline) was the best thing there- one reason I hardly ever go anymore. They've had it in their sights for a while imho. First they got rid of the lower section to make way for condos, now the upper section due to a pipeline? I don't doubt that's what they told you but it just doesn't pass the smell test for me. I will say they do have a decent snowmaking system- if this season continues to be this crappy I might be forced make a visit...but weekday only.

  11. Never been to Blue. Something wrong with my Medulla Oblongata?

     So, if you had one day to ski or ride this year and it had to be either Aquatopia or Blue, what would you do? That’s some deep shit right there, a lot of pressure.  Do you go for the tried and true or do you go for the Blue

     

    Blue, hands down- and the trip is longer for me to Blue than MC in Jersey. Sad to say MC does nothing for me, neither does CB. Blue keeps me interested, they've made some really good improvements over the years, and the people working there couldn't be nicer. (Elk is terrific too but it's the same drive time as to the 'Cats so I usually opt for them.)

    I’m alright fam. I went and got checked out. Pretty much the worst if it is some bruised ribs. I need to follow up on something the CT showed and I probably won’t be skiing for a few days. I’m far too tired to put any more brain cycles into this today. 

    Bruised ribs are no fun, can be worse than broken ones. Friend of mine got bumped into by a boarder around Christmastime, not real hard but just enough to knock him over- he thought it was nothing, kid apologized.....later that night he could barely get out of his car. Got checked next day- 1 broken rib & 3 bruised. Hasn't skied since.  You had a much worse fall including shoulder & thumb. I got skier's thumb up at Huntah must be 25 years ago- high speed fall due to unmarked obstacle- still feel it on bad days. I don't mean to be a debby downer, just want to say make sure youre ok before you come back & hope youre tougher than me & my buddy.
