skifreak Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Went up to blue this morning and conditions were excellent. The snow was packed down on trails but on most they had a coating of powder on top. Switchback had plenty of powder on it and I literally had the trail to myself.

When the race team got off of razors the headwall was amazing, since they didn't set the course on it. Oh man, nothing beats laying over an arc on the headwall of Razors...whew...gives me a rush just thinking about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skifreak Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 (edited) I cannot believe it I was even going to go down it the last two race officials were leaving as I went up the quad and crossed over it. I was for sure I would have met you today because this is the earliest I ever got there and may I say how empty it is in the morning! Anyway if my fat uncle didn't have to stop at the Whitehall Diner to eat breakfast I probably would have met you.

poconoceancity Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 was anyone at blue today...how was it and how will it be tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 was anyone at blue today...how was it and how will it be tomorrow? skifreak was there today, said it was nice. The snow should freeze tonight, which means probably 3 laps of FIRM snow on razors edge. Watch out for me laying it down, cause i want to get a few laps of HARD arcs down, but after the snow comes out, the soft bumps should form, and it should be a beauitful day. Mid 40's with the sun!

ole2planker Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Conditions were pretty good today, also. I was there from 7:30 to 11:30. Generally, there is a lot of snow. It is clear Blue is closing for lack of skiers and riders, not lack of snow. Challenge and Razor's Edge were particularly great runs. I did laps for the first two hours. I then moved over to Main Street, to play in the moguls. Those moguls are strange. It is probably because they build the moguls, the better line is across the hill, not straight down. At the bottom of Main Street, where all the trails come together, was crud. Ugh! A good morning of skiing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skierboi Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 THey should do it, where you can get discounted or maybe hike especcially in the parrks, At mountain creek when they are closed that always have pics of people hiking in the park, so they dont care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 At the bottom of Main Street, where all the trails come together, was crud. Ugh! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Even on good days that area is all muckedy muck. Don't really know why, but it's always bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Even on good days that area is all muckedy muck. Don't really know why, but it's always bad. Two places that confuse me. Pharoh (at CB of course) and the bottom of main street. Bottom of main street is always sugary. Anyway, I usually use the top 1/2 for arcing, and when it's still early, and hard, that can be a nice ripping trail.... Btw, GREAT conditions today, it was rock solid up until 11 (i did 20+ laps on razors edge, wanted to make my final few, all out, lay it over, GS arcs). After that it started to loosen up just a bit, but the sun went away and it cooled down, so I was still making arc after arc until i left at 12:30. 31 runs of GS goodness.

Glenn Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Two places that confuse me. Pharoh (at CB of course) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pharaoh is easy. Its out in the sun, and it has no wind protection. Meaning it will melt and then the loose stuff blows away right away. On a super cold or super warm day pharaoh will be great. On borderline freezing day, pharaoh cold go either way, depends on traffic. Almost invariably pharaoh will be covered in ice from 5:30 until close. It could almost be a black, not because of the pitch, but just because of how bizarre the conditions are. Maybe that would keep more n00bs off it... but then again, the insane crashes are fun to watch from the lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
