Hey All,

 

I’m back from a fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the upper lot around 715am and in the house were Johnny Law, Atomic Jeff, MBike Mike, Toast, JFDan, Salty, MomSkeez, Justo, Rose,Slim, Mixilplix, Gary, Indiggio, Tarponhead, Mrs Snowbunski, TP4, BenM, Tele Matt, Jim Daily and many others. 

 

Temperatures were in the low 20s on the upper mountain and teens below..the snowmaking cannons were blasting on Challenge, homestretch, shuttle and random areas.  Opening rope drop groundhogs day..second chair again ho hum..conditions very nice vista to midway to lower Main Street and upper Main Street nice frozen cord..lazy mile had some great snow and even with the race team wasn’t that crazy..will be way crazier next week when the six pack is open.   

 

Theyre charginf $70 and selling a boatload of tickets to people not showing up till 10 or 11..great stuff..I skied till 945am and how hungout in the lot till about 11am..get in get out have the rest of the day...Blue will be closed Monday to Wednesday with a reopening Thursday.

Excited for a terrain expansion. Hopefully this weekend. 

[Mixilplix]

Props to Blue for making the homely girl known as lower main look pretty good today....Lazy was really nice...a little thick on the bottom but hey........great morning on the snow...the best so far....

 

[toast21602]

Actually looked and felt like winter today. What a great start to the season so far. 
 

 

[AtomicSkier]

It was actually like we were skiing today.  Lower main wasn’t terrible, and upper main was a fucking treat even after several runs.  JADIP.  

[Johnny Law]

Today was the best overall snow day so far I think.

Lower main wasn't just negotiable but maybe even better than upper and coming into the blue cloud first run it actually felt like winter. 

Benm's herrs cheese curls were clutch.

[tarponhead]

Indiggio May add but was following Slim and Indiggio for the best ditch skiing of the season. Skiers left midway was a lip/ditch top to bottom (some mandatory evac spots) and ditch mostly all open lower main. Leg burners and fun. Watch out for ice chunks Indiggio kicks out if you ever follow him...

 

This was session #2 by the way

[JFskiDan]

Today kicked Saturdays ass. 
 

that is all.

I got a couple hours in this morning and just about everyone I rode the lift with mentioned how bad lower main was yesterday. I had a great time lapping main and lazy while trying to avoid the racing program herds.

Yeah, after morning beers, @tarponhead and I headed back out for a few left side of Lazy laps that still had even softer and better snow than the opening runs.

Made some Main Street runs and check out the lower right side which had some pretty nice snow, but light was flat on that side,
The next run, met up with Slim at the top who told us about left ridge on Midway and almost guns n' hoses along lower left of Main Street that was bathed in late morning sun.

We lapped that a number of times as the snow was just so good, it was hard to quit.
Unfortunately the knees and thighs burned so bad, we retired for beer:30 #2.

Best day and snow by far of the season!

I made the right call to go today instead of yesterday. @GrilledSteezeSandwich funk yeah!!!!!!!

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hard to believe Blue mountain has been open for four weekends already and it’s still early December. 

[RidgeRacer]

Two runs in. Conditions are good to damn good for December 8th. Can ski main top to bottom. Minimal divots and shit on lower main. Festive crowd tonight including two dudes blasting Christmas music on the lift in front of me. Fun times.

Is it @Ski2Live Live2Ski?

[RidgeRacer]

Is it [mention=12908]Ski2Live Live2Ski[/mention]?

Unfortunately not. They're behind me now and currently it's Mariah Careys All I want for Christmas is you. Before that it was walking in a winter wonderland...

Edit... Last Christmas by wham is on now. Lift is stuck. Haven't moved in about 5 minutes.

[RidgeRacer]

Moving now. Proof below. Fittingly run run Rudolph is on

I'd also like to just say that I can't stand when people blast their music in public spaces, especially in nature. Ruins my zen almost as much as Matthew Edgerton.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I don’t know about all of y’all but I’m simply having a wonderful Christmas time and I shared that Xmas video with my friend who likes it but she’s the church going type lol she needs Jesus

It’s shocking people actually do this.
