    Last season, I would have to tweak the buckle tightness ever few runs, to balance the response / comfort level. So far this season, my boots have been cooperating with me, and besides from a buckle popping off once or twice, they have been pretty good.

    I pulled into the Blue Mountain lower lodge for the first time on a weekend this year. I was really early, so I booted up in the lodge, and was all ready to go before Doug even pulled in. We were the first ones on the lift, but somehow, because they didn't get "clearance" from the top, we had to wait one chair which allowed this goober to get on with us. He was definately trying to impress us with his skiing knowledge. The guy was so happy to get first chair, but he was quickly informed by Doug that he wouldn't be getting first chair on the second run ;)

     

    Challenge was awesome early morning! The first run down was sooo smooth. The first 5 runs on Challenge were epic. By that time, it was snowing pretty freaking hard, and accumulating slowly, but surely. We were rolling with Skier112 and we saw MBike Mike, but he wanted to take it slow because he was hung over, so we ditched him ASAP ;) By then, Challenge was starting to get a little chunky on the top from all the racers out (Blue Mtn and Ridge ski team in the house), but the middle was still nice and smooth. Some race coach didn't like Doug and I skiing fast near his racers on Challenge, but whatever, it's not Razors Edge where they can close it off. You gotta ski with the masses, buddy.

     

    While we were in line for the 6pack, this girl went out to far, and got clipped by the lift. She backed up, and got clipped again. She backed up, and got clipped again. By this time, she had let 4 chairs go by and Doug and I kept yelling "GO! GO! GO!". She still didn't go, and her boyfriend turned around and told us to shut the f*ck up. Whoops.

     

    We then headed over to Main Street, because I saw from the parking lot that they had blown last night, and figured they blew in the bumps, and they had. Bumps were awesome for Dec 13th. Nice 4" of fresh blown snow on them, and you could ski a nice line through them, with the most legit bumps at the bottom. We eventually saw TMahky and his boys, so we skied two bump runs with them. We had a nice little bump session going, that's fo sure. All in all 6 bump runs, 1 lazy mile, and the rest on Challenge. Good for 20 runs and 21,000 vertical feet.

     

    We went directly to the BMDI for a good breakfast after skiing the bumps. Awesome session. I'm really tempted to ski tomorrow morning. We'll see how much studying I get done today.

     

    Damn, I really feel like I missed out today. I'm stuck helping my brother put down a new kitchen floor for mom. F the race coaches. News flash, they don't own/run the mountain. I probably would have wet myself watching that girl lose a battle with the lift, but your description is a classic.

     

    I'll be out tomorrow.

    Friday is full price day, they were keeping busy on Tut's and getting the 6 pack area ready. As is usually the case, Blue looks like it's right on the cusp to get either rain or snow Thurs/Fri. Tomorrow will be slip n slide in da rain. Thursday might actually be pretty decent if the rain doesn't beat the snot out of the snow.

    no worries, I have a sp this year. NWS looks ok for the weekend.
