Popular Post GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 14, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Hey All, I’m back from a fun morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 720am and it was in the mid 30s under overcast sky’s. A far cry from the Perder @saltyantwas experiencing up in southern Vermont. In the house were Mixilplix, Atomic Jeff, Eaf, Toast, Johnny Law, BenM, TP4, Ryan, Mute, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Rodney, silver full face helmet guy and many others. Second civilian six pack and onto the carpet which is challenge..soft packed powder..I skied switchback second and the cord was grate. Back to challenge and was still good but the surface was falling apart a lot. Upper Main Street was super nice especially along the bump line and lower Main Street was ok. I skied paradise once and while the snow was good sort of a moist chalk, there were a lot of people on that run. Crowds seemed a lighter than yesterday and Tuesday with nothing more than about a one minute wait for the six pack. I skied until 10:25am..had a quick beer in the lot thanks to Ryan and Mute and now back in the office. JADIP 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 You could post that same picture every day and nobody would know there difference. Skiing was great today. That snow was borderline cream cheese goodness. Some really fantastic turns on groomers today. Good seeing you all again. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltyant Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Thanks for the shout out. The snow quality is amazing here but it's not dumping by any means, just flurries. Still by far the best conditions I've had this year since I didnt get to Blue on the powder day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always looks different..sometimes there’s fog, snowmaking cannons blasting, guy cleaning up garbage and even birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1erArt Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 One of my best days at blue, razors top and Challenge were ok, but sidewinder and then Main Street, Switchback and Lazy were great. Probably had one of my best ever runs at Blue on Main Street. Truly JF quality snow for an hour or so. People seemed pretty considerate, but there were a lot of ‘free the noses’ on the high speeds, so I was on the slow lift for a while. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaf Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Today was gorgeous. Great snow, low crowds, smooth lift operation and a lovely attendant at the quad. Beautiful, in short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaf Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 @GrilledSteezeSandwich, what were you doing between 7:20 and 9am in that lower lot? I thought, morning margaritas were being served only at the closing ceremony? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Solid 8.7 out of 10. Fucking sweet spring like conditions. Mashed potatoey but not sloppy. Just right. Can go fast without having to worry about root rollers. Hell yeah! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Wow, go figure. Was probably the worst trail in the morning.Idk. Sun came out...snow softened up. It was good. What can I tell you. As was switch and main. Sidewinder was a close second and challenge was hard in spots. Conditions like tonight (warm, semi spring like) are perfect for NMDW (RIP). Makes no sense that their best trail is closed now for over a week during a busy time of year. I know why it is...I just don't get it.

Covered bridge road, where you start driving into the shadow of the beast, is like the Blue Mountain version of "oh my gosh corner" at sugarloaf. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
