GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 7:17am and it was in the mid 20s with a rising sun and light to moderate winds. First civilian quad with BenM, Atomic Jeff and JFDan. Also in the house were Toast, Mixilplix, Indiggio, Gary, Gary, BethlehemFord crew, Matt Edge and Root. Coming soon was pretty slick but not terrible and lower paradise was better than yesterday. Upper paradise had very nice groomed snow almost a western groomer and lapped that a few times. Lazy mile wasn’t great but the falls skied better than yesterday. Lower raceway was still firm mini cookies, midway was alright and lower Main Street they blew water on so not that good. We even ventured to Burma which was mad technical yo..all ice and cookies. Crowds today spilled in a little more quickly than yesterday but still less than weekdend crowds at least in the morning. I hungout in the lot for about an hour and enjoyed the sunshine and some beer now back at work and have five new voicemails.

Good morning, maybe not quite as good as yesterday. Widoracecuz's went from yesterdays brick to cookies today. Should be good for tomorrow. Burma was hysterical. seems like Midway is everybodys least favorite trail, which is good. nothin like getting yelled at to slow down on Paridise..........when there is nobody on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benm Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I thought today was prob one of the better days condition-wise all year. Only a cpl sketchy spots. I liked that the sun was out afterwards. It was nice for lot beers. Afterwards, I dropped off my trash and got Chinese food, 8/10. The card reader wasn't working right, so I paid a crisp 20 for my $21 tab since they wanted me outta there.

TeleJim Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 On the topic of cookies, I think they were mentioned in this thread. I guess blue has to process their snow or it will all be ice? I guess they do the best they can with the temperatures they are dealt to make snow in.

The groomers have a tiller on the back that's supposed to grind up the cookies, but the way they blow the snow (wet) causes the conditions we all know and love (to hate). Not entirely due to the temperatures, but the cheapness of the mountain to only make one pass with the groomers, putting down lipstick on a pig. Would be nice if they would just blow smaller whales and let the riders break them down naturally instead of using the groomers. The whales would drain naturally and the riders would carve up the dry, upper layer. For some reason (probably because of how wet they blow) they don't let anyone ride the new whales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
