GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hey All, I'm back from a fun evening session at Blue mountain the true mountain. Stopped at Arbys on the way up for beef and cheddar sang and brought atomic Jeff some curly fries. Rocked out to Soft Cell Tainted Love on the Drive up and some Eddie $$$$. Temperature was in the mid to upper 20s with moderate winds and the snow guns on the upper mountain were just starting to get lit up around 7pm. There were like 20 buses but liftlines weren't bad cause they were running the quad as well. Challenge was alright but nightmare to Dreamweaver was elite with fresh man made and not many people. Main Street was really good on top packed powder under the gun show and lower was ok not many piles but dark. Ran into Matt Edge and chilled with him in the upper lot for a few and there was a Muhlenberg college bus. Back on the snow and skied vista to chute to lower Main Street and caught up with atomic Jeff, Johnny Law and PARidge was also on the house. Did more Nightmare Dreamweaver and ended with two runs in Barneys bumps which were super forgiving with fresh blown man made Poe..mad Mad Edgar Allen..what what or que que for all you Spanish snow sports enthusiasts. At that point I had my Phil like Mickelson and went to the lot and had two hop ranches and left at exactly 10pm. Now rocking out to chumbawumba in my apartment complex parking lot. JADIP ski everybody this weekend. Weather looks great!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Snowmakers are killing it...hats off to them. Maybe blow a little more on homestretch before the weekend just add to the base. Going into a warm stretch soon and as Toast has said many times it's all about the Base!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) So is snow making done for the year after tonight? Is that typical? We do have a late Easter this year which could have them wanting to go longer. Edited February 17, 2017 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 So is snow making done for the year after tonight? I don't think so. Blue usually blows when they can right up till the end. Is that typical? We do have a late Easter this year which could have them wanting to go longer. Typical for a lot of resorts to stop snowing at presidents weekend not Blue. im kind of jonesing for a night session, only have 4 this year...one was at spring mountain and 2 i left blue by 7. only stayed at blue til 10 once this season Don't you get off at 5pm some days?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Figure somewhere in VT if nowhere closer. They have gotten a lot of snow recently in New England.

They have gotten a lot of snow recently in New England.Stowe should be open then and lodging is cheap in April. Do you have off work that week? I don't think anywhere south of Vermont will be open then during the week maybe Hunter and belleayre the weekend before.

You'll have a blast and apparently Japanese women love American men Edited February 17, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 No seems unlikely I will get to ski there. Going for a Bar Mitzvah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 No seems unlikely I will get to ski there. Going for a Bar Mitzvah. Wow that is dedication. I mainly want to visit Japan for the trains and vending machines. I went to LA for a bar mitzvah once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast21602 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 You need to ski if you are going to Japan. No excuse if you are there for a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarponhead Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Figure somewhere in VT if nowhere closer. They have gotten a lot of snow recently in New England. As it stands now, Alta = 340" Jay = 351" Northern vt is hitting it. Granted not apples to apples (on many levels) but with all the amenities jay has (water park etc) why not take the kids?
