GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Hey All, I’m back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived in the lower lot around 8:37 and it was in the upper 20s with moderate winds and partly sunny sky’s. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Dirtwolf, Johnny law, Jimmy, Oz, Bethlehem Ford guy and Rodney. There were a solid amount of people in the house. I also think more people are parking at the bottom and the south lot is still closed. Managed first civilian quad even though I was second row at the gates. Coming soon was a treat..very nice groomed snow and good lighting. Lower paradise had some slick uneven areas and wasn’t that good. Skied that three times until it got crowded then did midway to main street four times. Midway was ok, a little loose chop and lower main street was a western groomer. So good and empty since it’s a lot of work to get over there as you still have to traverse over to vista. I’ll be back tomorrow at opening.

AtomicSkier Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Really was excellent in spots ... first down Coming Soon was a carpet. But Main St was the ROTD. Super grippy and smooth. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtwolf Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Should have stayed for a few more runs. I agree that ROTD was Main St. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Law Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I slept through my alarm so I got there as the first chair group was pulling out. With excellent beta I didn't fuck around and took one run down lazy to warm up and then the next 8 down Main. To my last run around 1230 it was a perfect carpet and with one exception totally empty. It's soooooo nice to let the dogs really run and I really like the spot where midway falls over to main, far right entrance, early over and power down straight down the fall line hugging the left side of main it's like you've gone plaid. I think this was posted before maybe but who is on the sticker the pontoon van has on the back ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s some sort of space cowboy so I’m gonna call him Maurice even though his name is probably something generic like Steve miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his name is greg but I normally call him Jskis guy or Darth Vader but he actually looks most like the Cylons from Battlestar Galatica. I haven't seen him yet this year but razors isn't open yet and that's his favorite. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mute1080 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Arrived at 630 to find out I forgot my kids coat and pass. Luckily family lives near by and had a coat. Went in for another pass after my second arrival and was informed it is $20 for a replacement pass. She was feeling festive so she waived it but said she’ll make a note so I don’t get it again. I asked if you could use the $50 e-gift card for it and she laughed and said “probably not.” Not sure if she thought it was a joke or she didn’t actually know about the $50 season pass credit. On the snow at 7 with the post dinner and the quad line was past the gates. Middle of the runs were scraped and the sides were Baby Bash Suga Suga. Line got smaller each time down until it was only a couple people deep. Had fun bumping around on the sides of Lazy and Paradise with the little one until 815. @GrilledSteezeSandwichsince you asked. Chicken nugs with ketchup due to the time crunch. edit: someone dropped off the quad to get first tracks on Falls WTGAI Edited December 21, 2022 by mute1080 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benm Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 going further down the rabbit hole, it looks like it was based off of an art piece - Todd Goldman - "Business in the Front". the similarities are there, like they took it and made it sharper / cleaned it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benm Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) maybe the timeline is reversed -- that print was a limited set in 2009. the art for the band cassette label (or it looks like the mailing package) was from 1999ish the artist has a history of lifting other designs. http://www.miketyndall.com/todd_goldman/ Edited December 21, 2022 by Benm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band is Philly based, I wonder if the van owner is an actual member or a groupie? I still say the inspiration/source is Keith Hernandez, specifically from the episode of Seinfeld he was in in 1992 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
