Ridge sugar and ice is normal night skiing conditions. The first day back from a ski trip is always a sad slap of reality but you’ll snap out of it this weekend when you’re riding the new six pack. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antman12 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 I actually thought conditions were pretty good for a night sesh. Just slow and sticky, was it like this for anybody else? Maybe I just need to get my board waxed. What’s the cost and turnaround for a wax at the pro shop? At mount snow you can get a quick wax done in literally like 20 minutes. It’s pretty sweet tbh.

Slow snow for me earlier on tuts lane but new man made is slow and my skis are drier than Toasts vagina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides it was $20...so like a donation to Blue mountain. Similar to how you would donate to your local fire department or church. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re not busy turnaround could be enough time for you to get a vanilla latte. If it’s busy maybe an hour. I need a full tune..wax..sharpen and base grind before Jackson hole. 90% of the time I ski at Blue wax is irrelevant but today it would have made a difference on the flats. On razors and Main Street plenty of speed I wish a bit more hill sometimes lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night conditions can be good a lot of the time, like in the spring. Tonight was not. I hate sugar with the burning passion of 1000 suns. And its a staple at blue unfortunately 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still determined to say hi and ride together. Don’t remember anyone saying hi to me this evening. Sorry. I was probably in a zone. Lodge is like another world when all the school kids are in there! Trying to get out Sunday morning, maybe take some runs with you folks then. Y’all will probably leave me in the dust, I’m a slow skier. I actually enjoy turning my skis. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtwolf Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Great session number two tonight. Very different conditions from this morning. Soft granular snow with push piles and excellent slush that was pushed in various ditches and spines. Happy the lines weren’t ever that long. Was super fun to open them up this morning on razors and main then slow it down tonight on the same trails. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between a fast skier and a slow skier on a run is like 30 seconds for a run. Heck I was a solid 5-6 seconds behind atomic Jeff today and he still waited for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were slow in the beginning of the year but I don’t think an hour turnaround on a weekend is out of the question. If I remember right it’s like $60 hand wax and $40 machine? Don’t forget the season pass discount if you have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbike-ski Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 WJW @RidgeRacer you always seem to see conditions through rose colored glasses, you must have gotten spoiled in AZ, lol! I thought tonight’s conditions were pretty good, some piles to bounce through but everything was edgable and fast’ish. I would have done more runs, the issue for me wasn’t the snow but the clusters of goobers skiing in every direction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiggio Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 11 hours ago, mute1080 said: Bought a 5 pack of group lessons from school for the kid and we had the first one tonight. We’ve had private lessons previously and wanted her to get to socialize with other kids at the mountain. Well they had 5 boarders, 3 skiers, and 12 instructors when we showed so the kid had a private lesson 🤦 Instructors were super nice and said they’ve struggled a little bit this week. They lost all private lesson reservations from 1/6-1/20. Ouch. Hmm. Sounds like a future BMR candidate... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the positive side, most blue mountain skiers can go anywhere out west and ski like a baller because of it. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy to DIY. From what I understand machine Wax is basically a waste of money except you go fast for one run or something Edited January 12, 2023 by saltyant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
