saltyant Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Back from another epic day at the camel. This time I strategized my morning routine and was rewarded with FirstTrax promptly at 7:30 am, and subsequently the third civilian chair. Fresh cord was abundant on all six trails, and snow was softer and more enjoyable than yesterday. I spent 3 hours alternating between Marjie’s and Tuts, and only did Honeymoon once because it sucks. Conditions held up nicely throughout the morning, and Marjie's was better, with less hard pack, but instead small piles of powder scattered throughout the piste. Before leaving, I headed over to the Glen, and rode the dinosaur chair to make 9 runs on Rhododendron Glen, which was my favorite run of the day. At 9:08 am, a tragic turn of events had befallen me. While on the Sullivan lift, I was reaching into my pocket to change the song on my phone, and suddenly my $5 gift card from Blue Mountain fell and is now lost forever. I promptly contacted ski patrol and urged them to suspend lift operations for the day and send out a search and rescue party for my beloved gift card, but sadly this did not happen. Other than this devastating loss, today was another good day. JADIP* * JADIP - Copyright © 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich. All rights reserved.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Nick Malozzi is a former poster and so is Glenn and when people mention the Glen lift it makes me thick there should be a Nick Malozzi lift. I don't think either skis more than ten days a year or two both are hipsters and need at least a few days a month dedicated to waxing their moustaches and organizing their fedoras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltyant Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Lol @ Atomic from 2004: "Diamonds at camelback are such a joke, i usually carve on the headwall and just let loose w/ some GS turns on the run out!" I was kinda missing the Main Streets today once Marjie's was over really fast each run... I want to keep improving my carving/turning, and you only get to do it on like 1/3 of that run.

Same runs as yesterday. It was fun and not too crowded. I left around 11:30 after starting to get bored. I think my days of skiing open to close are over.

You shouldn't say that if it's good keep skiing when you've had your fill leave ski as much as you want to. I've had night sessions and it's just not fun and I leave in an hour other times they're kicking me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still enjoy skiing a lot, but the newness has kinda worn off. But I know what you mean, some days you just want to keep going even after close. That's how I was on Wednesday at Blue.

CB is truly the true mountain because they are working hard to get the mountain open at 100 percent. See evidence below.

saltyant Posted December 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I meant I'm done clowning around. It's been fun but obviously no one thinks it's funny except me. So I'll only engage in serious ski related discussions from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Just don't go into your pockets when you are on the lift also how long did you search for the gift card you dropped? Now you can buy your pass at Blue online and save $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
