RootDKJ Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Date(s) Skied: 3/20/2010 Resort or Ski Area: Blue Mountain Conditions: Sunny springtime conditions Trip Report: What an awesome day at Blue Mountain today. I pulled into the lower lot at 7:35 am. At 7:40 am AtomicSkier and I were starting the day off with a nice cold beer. Next thing you know, I've got 3 in me before 9:30 thanks to my beer bottle pockets. Such nice skiing all day. Oh yeah, they re-seeded a really long section of Challenge again last night. Imagine that! Lots of PASR's in the house today, rolling several six-pack deep. I finally left around 12:30 and went up to the Summit Lodge and bought next years season pass and signed off on the waiver as well. I've never been at Blue for closing and I've never actually seen anyone pond skimming, so I'm looking forward to that. I know I left out shit loads of details, toast hitting the glades, beer runs to the parking lot... Pics are uploading now.

AtomicSkier Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Today was awesome, and I got some serious freaking sun. Conditions were pretty legit, and the Challenge bumps were awesome. I did them top to bottom without stopping a few times, definitely had me out of breath. I was feeling pretty good after a few parking lot pit stops, and then a stop at the covered bridge inn. toast and i stopped at rita's for some freebies to finish off another day in paradise!

RootDKJ Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Razors and Challenge. I loved my 1st run down Razor's this morning. So sweet. Gorgonzola / M-bike ski in the death bumps on Challenge A very thirsty Root Main Street bumps were a little glossy What's wrong with this picture? The jibhonks The Big Air Bag A little over inflated? There's some skeet spots. Paradise into Dreamweaver should be roped off. AtomicSkier Dreamweaver No lift lines Rail Jam Disc Golf starts 5/22 Toast clued me in to the fact that's it's the First Day of Spring promotion at Rita's. I hit 3 of them on the ride home. Root Beer (get it?) I tried the Florida Orange Mint Chocolate Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
