1/10/19...smell of waffles..lights cannons and whistles.

Hey All,

 

I’m back from a fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 630 in the PM and it was in the upper 20s with the snowmaking cannons blasting on at least 6 runs including Razors, Challenge, Lower Park, Paradise, Widowmaker and random spots.  In the house were Indiggio, Antman and SaltyAnt along with 20+ buses.  

 

First run was lazy mile to the falls..lazy wasn’t that crazy and the falls was slick..homestretch was so busy it was insane and the sugar was deep but kind of fun and I got air off a few of the rollers..woo.  Main Street was blown smooth on the top half..semi edgeable hardpack upper and some light sugar on the bottom.  Paradise was alright and it as busy possibly due to wet guns going on the lower section. 

 

On the second run on paradise SP3000 was out in full force and I got whistled at on first corner and second corner I got whistled at and even at a ski patroller not on skis charge towards me..it was as exhilarating as the smell of waffles and teen spirit in the air.  

 

I ended up skiing 8 runs in about an hour and a half then went to the lot and had a beer with Indiggio.  Wasn’t great conditions wasn’t bad..was ok..a nice little ski fix to hold me over until the weekend.

Went expecting it to be icy, windy and cold. This was confirmed after 2 runs and I just took it casual the rest of the night.

Saw some kids getting their tickets clipped? on paradise. Same run, 150 yards down 3 kids are getting called outta the trees for presumably smoking, idk what else they'd being up there.

I also skied lower come around to midway once and lower come around was a honk yard with one mini Booter that has seen better days near the end..on midway the snow was alright some kid had a yard sale and I grabbed the poles in one fell swoop brought em 30 yards down..chucked them at kid and kept going as Indiggio flew down an apparently icy falls.

Tonight was pretty sick. Skied all of Ski2Live's favorite runs, Main St, Paradise and the Lazy Mile to Falls. Tried Burma and it was atrocious, like just like the real Burma March. Then met up with the 2 best skiers on the mountain, Grilled Steeze and Indiggio, and they let me get a head start (Steeze read the entire book "War and Peace" beforehand) on the Laziest of Miles and passed me like literal human blurs. It was pretty insane, they are damn good skiers. It was crowded earlier but cleared out by 9 pm and I had the whole mountain to myself. Didnt even try to turn on the Falls because I think it was 100% ice is nice, so just went down straight full speed ahead. Homestretch sucked J.A.D.I.P.

That had to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen at Blue, a patroller running out of the last corner to get right in front of GSS to try to stop him!
It was all I could do to stop laughing, as I could just see in my mind GSS running into the guy and taking him out. 
The patroller and GSS went left, I went around to the right and chuckled the rest of the way to the 6.

That smell reminds me of Orange Julius that use to be next door back in the day. Miss that place and I’ve never seen another.

There are a few Orange Julius locations left. If I wasn’t headed to work I’d search on google for you.

Nothing more magical than middle School kids smoking their first cigs on a ski club trip when the wind is 30 mph and none of them know how to use a lighter lol..we can only hope Matt edge came to their assistance and let them borrow his fancy windproof lighter that the explorers used on the North Pole.

Correct and I heard they no longer have the Thursday night circle jerk so they need to get out their aggressions in other ways. 

That's a shame.  Such a longstanding tradition they had going at the top of the Main St. lift.

we were up there for the first adult race clinic session of the year. arrive at the upper lot a shade after 5:30 PM in order to get our passes and ski a few warmup laps before meeting the class up at the racing office. we also noticed how douchey SP was being. I had some words with one of them who was parked at the first turn on paradise. he was yelling at kids who were objectively in control and were not going fast at all (in fact she was slowing down when she got yelled at by SP). SP should have been on main street where chute ties in. that place is such a cluster-f. smh....

Welcome back haven’t seen you on the slopes yet this season..I’m guessing you’ve been at montage a lot or traveling.
