Popular Post GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Hey All, I’m back from another session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 820AM and it was in the mid 20s under overcast sky’s and people were spilling in like it was a holiday weekend. In the house were Atomic Jeff, BenM, Antman, BethlehemFord Guy, PSUFly, Rodney,Toast and MBike mike. It was just the quad open initially and about a ten minute delayed start which led to a pretty long backup but managed first civilian six pack. The guns were blasting on Razors, Paradise, lower park, tubing and a few other areas. First run Main Street tip to bottom..upper was alright a little funky with some ridges and lower was better..smooth enough. The shuttle was a little slow with fresh manmade. Next run was lazy mile which had some pretty nice conditions and the falls was open half width and funky herky jerky snow especially where it flattens..just have to point em and hold on..if there was a place to catch an edge this was it. By third time in lifeline there was quite the backup just to get through the scanners maybe a 5 minute wait although the lift stopped quite a bit. I skied lazy to falls again..followed by the whole mile to the lot..skied four runs in the time I should have done 6-7. I wasnt planning on hanging around but ended up enjoying very pleasant temperatures along with some sunshine in the lower lot and PSUGuy gave me a beer..was a juicy one and very good. Hungout till 1115 and now at work..the six pack got going maybe at 1030am. All in all was a fun short session a nice preview for the weekend. Dress like a cosmonaut tomorrow..could be in the single numbers at opening bell..JADIP Edited December 18, 2020 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post toast21602 Posted December 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Felt great to ski a whole run like Lazy Mile. Definitely turned into crazy mile on a few runs. Being at the valley just a week after opening is pretty great. Just another reason why Blue is the best in PA. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUFrankenstein Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Good getting on on the snow and seeing some of you guys...did a few runs on main street to start off since there was no lift line there. Then a few runs on lazy. I should be back on Sunday Edited December 18, 2020 by PSUFly 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antman12 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Nice quick session this morning. The sun started to come out and the snow was softening up my last couple runs. It was tough to leave but unfortunately I had too. Lifts lines weren’t bad as a single and season pass holder. Didn’t wait more than 5 minutes minus the very first ride when the lift was on hold. I’ll be anchored tomorrow by my brother who’s getting on a board for the first time in 20 years and his friend for the first time in 5 years...Yay. see you guys tomorrow for a cooold one. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Stoked for tomorrow! Imagine..lift lines in the valley not growing exponentially by 9:30 on a Saturday morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaf Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Tonight was great! Quite busy on the slopes, but zero wait in line if you're using expresses. Interestingly at times there was a considerable line to get to Burma chairs, IDK what and why people would wait there instead of just skipping down to the Valley. Cookie field migrated up to the middle of Main Street, right on top of the moguls that formed where the two trails merge. So if you go down Main Street top-to-bottom, the conditions would look something like awesome-awesome-meh-shit!-crap!!-meh-OK. Lazy mile has nice rollers along the left side, and again conditions change from great to a mix of scraped spots and piles. Paradise should open soon. Given the conditions and crowds, we've ended up looping a rather unusual route: Quad-Connector-Vista-Burma-Home Stretch, which nicely incorporated elements of skiing, dodging and pushing. In short, great night! Edited December 19, 2020 by eaf 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
