indiggio Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Just got back from a not real fun morning session at Blue. Cresting the ridge, the temp was 39' and 37' as I rolled into the lot around 8:15am with nobody else in sight. Walking out to the lift, the slow, wet snow of yesterday had set up hard, even though the temps aren't that cold. As I rode up the 6, a boarder patroller was coming down Challenge and I could hear the expected conditions. I took a run down Paradise, which had very hard cord but also a tilled area chock full of marbles. It was either fight through them or slide on the ice Next run down Lazy was pretty much identical to Paradise. Over on Main, the bumps were icebergs, so I didn't even bother venturing into them. The main section of Main street was total frozen cord. Challenge was also icy hard and rocket fast. That girl from yesterday would have easily broke her speed goal today. I was looking out for Mom and SallyCat all morning, but I didn't see either before bugging out around 11am. Unless you like ice skating, today was a far cry from the past two. Hopefully it's cold enough tonight and tomorrow for them to blow some snow. Also, at the base, it sure smelled like the BBQ truck was cooking up some meat as the aroma was wafting past much like when the Waffle Hut is going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaf Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yes, amazingly shitty today. Compared to last Sunday - night and day. Yeah, it's all groomed, but it's also all frozen. My friends are cursing nonstop, I survive, but it could've been more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaf Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Upper Lazy is good though. And, saltyant, the bare spots are not that bad, and they're all in more or less one area. Get ice skates for tomorrow night, it's gonna be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I'm on a black diamond that's just all ice, I feel like I'm going to skid down sideways at 50+ MPH. But if there are small piles of sugar snow, it can be fun to ski from pile to pile.

Bahahahaha that was hilarious. I'm surprised you didn't put that away in your wallet. I lost my key card to my hotel room once and got a new one at the front desk and the next day I came to work and it was on the grass by my car..I was shake shake shaking my Herman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaf Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Alright! It's almost 3, and it's way, WAY better. Actually, love it. Too bad there is no way to convince my party to stay past sunset. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty devastating. That gift card will be buried in the snow until next winter because Camelback made so much snow that they're buried in it.
