RootDKJ Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Date Skied: 12/28/2009 Resort or Ski Area: Blue Mountain Ski Area Conditions: Frozen Groomed, very windy Trip Report: Had a great day at Blue today. Left the house and it was 38 degrees. 32 when I got to the Valley parking lot. Conditions were very firm and very fast today. Lazy was really smooth, but the Falls runout was like cement cord. Challenge was pretty good. Nightmare into Dreamweaver was a lot of fun. Met up with Kragan. He's a damn good skier. I got to really push my Jet Fuels today to limits I'm not normally comfortable with. Felt awesome! We did one run down Paradise, which was really consistent, got passed by some dude, who was being followed by the Ski Patrol...but they didn't stop him. Damn...could we have been going faster??? Upper Main Street was fantastic. Very smooth and easy to lay an edge into and arc it. The bottom started to get to be a little choppy after Midway around 11:00. Winds were shooting right up Tut's lane today. I also took a run down Central Park, that's a nice alternative to cutting through the park after Main Street. Ski Team was teaching skier irresponsibility on Dreamweaver by setting up their own human salom in the middle of the trail...creating chaos for all the people skiing in their Carhartt's. Brilliant. Oh yeah...the Quad has a VIP line! Wahoo! I bugged out a little before noon as Lazy was in full Crazy mode. Here's today's pics: Riding up the Quad Home Stretch Razor's getting some good base work Lift Line at 9:30AM Nightmare (new tail this year) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexkitten Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 How do you like Nightmare? What is it comparable to? I think we're about a week away from our first trip up due to a lovely cold we brought back from vacation so I haven't had a chance to see or ski it yet. Thanks in advance.

I really don't think it's much steeper then Upper Main Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackbiker Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Nice report Root. It's not always easy to stop and take the camera out when you just want to get another run in but pictures make it that much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorovr Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I was up last night from 4-7pm for first turns at Blue this year. Didn't hit any rails but spent most of the evening sliding sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
