1/4/21...winter is back..


Recommended Posts

Hey All,

 

I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830am and it was 17 degrees under sunny sky’s. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Johnny Law, Bethlehem ford guy, Rodney, Gary, Drew and a couple dozen more.  

 

I heard about somebody who got his season pass pulled for poaching upper Main Street yesterday..what a ding a ling  

 

 

The snowmamkbg cannons were blasting on Paradise, Razors, Falls, upper Main Street and a few random spots. First run on midway to lower Main steeet was rough..that solid teeth chattering snow. Lazy mile was ok on the top 2/3 with mainly frozen granules with a few abrasive spots.   Only skied about an hour and then hungout in the lot for about a half hour enjoying the sun. With no wind it felt pretty nice outside, not as cold as expected.  I’ll be back Thursday AM.  JADIP!!!

Had a great day. Lots of leftover Christmas cookies this morning, glad I got the skis sharpened. Sun was warm, no wind. Perfect ski day, then a fun tailgate. Got lots of runs in

I don’t turn it on til I’m walking out of the lot on to the snow. I didn’t feel like I was going that fast, and I do turn my skis a lot. I guess you can pick up a lot of speed on those cookies

The tracker is cool I see you rode the Main Street chair twice. Did you hit up Burma

Around Blue there seems to be a black hole that accelerates you to ludicrous speed. I've seen people claim 75 on razors edge ....No Bueno 

Crazy since my top speed on razors with a radar gun was 64mph and the best skier on the mountain @AtomicSkier hit 74mph.  I definitely topped 80mph at Jackson hole when I passed Dennis and honestly I don’t want to go that fast again. That day was insane.

The GPS stuff is terrible inaccurate.  I've done a radar-gun confirmed 70+ mph on Razors Edge but that was on a sheet of ice in the most aerodynamic tuck I could get into.  I laugh when people say they casually got to 60+ mph at Blue.

ya, knowing what 70+ mph at Blue felt like, we definitely hit 80 that day at JH, probably on Grand.  I've never let them run like we did that day 😮

One of my BC runs years ago I did 40mph though the woods and back again.😖

Nope

Not only that, often it can't even accurately count the number of runs!
It seems to get confused at times riding the 6-pack, thinking there's an extra run while ascending.
At least my ancient Avocet watch can do that correctly!
