GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Hey All, I’m back from a fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at around 720am and it was around 30 degrees under mostly cloudy sky’s. In the house were Atomic Jeff, JFDan, PARidge, TP4, Indiggio, Mixilplix, Slim, Tarponhead, West Chester Homeys, Enjorales cousin, MBike Mike, Mrs. Snowbunski and many more. First civilian 6-pack..no news crews, strong winds as snowmaking cannons firing on Nightmare, Dreamweaver, finish line, Central Park and lower park...WTGAI way to get after it blue mountain. Rumors still surfacing about winch cat being out of commission and former best Bump groomer at camelback but I gave up speculation as my New Years resolution so not gonna go there. First run did laZy to falls pretty firm but not icy..corner alright..paradise similar conditions...Main Street pretty good and lower seemed better than upper..mainly due to the width as Barney’s has some behomoth sized bumps. Skied a run on Razors was ok except for the channel running the length of the run although the root roller on last pitch had mellowed since yesterday and I didn’t get any involuntary air. Was similar to yesterday got 11 runs 8Am to 9:35am then hungout in the lot for awhile..Enjorales cousin probably most entertaining..thanks to MBike Mike for the fine meats and cheeses and Mother Nature for keeping my beer cold without a cooler...while not a massive PASR turnout due to a lot of PASRs getting turnt up last night, was better than expected both in snow conditions and stoke 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Was a fun day. Main was good and consistent top to bottom. Lazy was good. Paradise was good. Razors was ok. The flat light sucked. Challenge looked bad. Agreed that we need cold and quick. The dirt spots aren't good for stoke. Although they were blowing on the lower park area as opposed to resurfacing which didn't necessarily make sense to me. Guy on the six pack was complaining about east coast conditions. Hunter has 17 trails open (according to him) so I guess Blue's not doing too terrible in comparison.Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicSkier Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Conditions today were better than expected. Main St was insanely smooth top to bottom with nobody on it! No sugar...it was firm, but you could still arc turns. Glad I’m no a bump head or else I’d be bitching on PASR. 😘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenge was better than Razors IMO. Main Street and Paradise good. A little disappointed Dreamweaver was closed. A great way to spend NYD. Felt like I was catching a cold last night, fresh air and a little parking lot wine must have killed all my cold germs 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Gatorade water and a hot shower couldn’t cure. I saw cans of wine the other day at Weis market when I was buying beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 It’s hard to resurface anything at 30 degrees - I’m glad I wasn’t skiing through that slop! Put it down as base snow, sure, just not where I have to ski through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to up topic where RidgeRacer was wondering why Blue wasn’t resurfacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
