RidgeRacer Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Some dirt and bare spots here and there but it doesn't appear to have deteriorated to much since Sunday. Pleasantly surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mute1080 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Arrived at 4:45 and it was 44° at the top. Surprisingly not as busy in the top lodge as I thought it would be. Was expecting some ski clubs but they must all be at the Valley Lodge.Skiing with Mrs. Mute so it was down Burma first and then lapping lazy and Paradise. Snow is sugar but minimal push piles. Temperatures mild and crowds light. Good times.Grabbing a bite at Slope Side and then heading back out. Already pulled my pass out so I don’t forget that 10% discount. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momskeeztoo Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I got out on the snow around 930 this am. Was I surprised bulletproof cord. Quickly softened up, though, and conditions were very nice. Except for Razors, which I didn’t attempt. Top was full of craters, frozen bumps, and some kind of crevice going down the middle. Weird, because it was ROTD Tuesday. Nice weather for tailgating, as well. I’ll be back Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a rough season so far, considering the weather. I can’t complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been other years with weather that was just as bad or worse and the grooming was nowhere near as bad as it's been this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackbiker Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 The grooming at Blue has been the worst in PA for years. They never let the snowmaking whales drain before pushing them out. That's what creates all of the cookies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted January 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Look. I love blue but let's be honest. When has their grooming ever been "good". Are there good days? Sure. But overall Blue mountain hasn't necessarily been synonymous with good grooming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 The groomers go real fast and don’t make enough passes. The elimination of twice daily grooming in 2007 was also a big loss. That was grate even if you didn’t get fresh cord for night session it kept things smoother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of changes began occurring in 2007 when Ray died. That’s when they went from 730 to 8am opening on weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
