Popular Post GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6 Hey All, I’m back from a fun morning at Blue mountain. It was in the upper 20s when I arrived at 8:35am. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Johnny Law, Rodney, C1er, Gary and Oz. First super summit safari six pack ride stopped twice, always happens. First run on Main Street was variable, velvety groomed and manmade, then some crispy snow lower. Over to the quad and first nightmare dreamweaver of the season which had pretty nice grooming and some skiffs of new manmade. challenge was so nice, one of the first runs this season at Blue I said this is really good. Repeated challenge about five times. Each run stayed good, mostly empty and it was one of the few runs they didn’t blow on so super consistent. Homestretch and Barbs way had mini cookies. Ended the session with a Raceway to Chute to lower main which was good until lower main which was a little scrappy and then Widowmaker to midway to lower main and midway kind of slick wet manmade. I left at 1030 and the temperature was up in the mid 30s and still blowing on Switchback. I’ll be back on Thursday AM, time to sell a tombstone. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Johnny Law Posted February 6 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6 Today was le tits part deux, Challenge was even better than yesterday with a little more stiffness it could hold against the ski. When Challenge is good two days in a row its like I must be having a stroke and all of this is in my mind. It's so much fun to truck down that mother getting airs and ripping big arcs. I didn't mind the herky jerkey stuff probably becuase they are already slow with no wax so I was really enjoying upper main and especially NWDW. There is enough room even if you dont want to get booter Crunk but it's soooo nice to formation fly and get a bit blue angels. Le chute continues to be prime and I got one decent launch today. Weather was perfect, great crew and good snow........ shit was a dream on Monday but two days in a row I must be on peyote. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprogram4 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Rode from 11:45-3:45, surprised how empty the place was. Great conditions, did at least half my runs on razors. Kicking myself for not doing challenge after reading y’all reports, but figured I rode it so much on the weekend I’d get my razors runs in. Nightweaver was my ROTD. Gotta reiterate that man the place was empty 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightweaver was my ROTD. Gotta reiterate that man the place was empty Yup was thinking about the emptiness..challenge didn’t look that good from the lift and seemed like everybody was going to nightmare dreamweaver and paradise. There was a mens ski group really milking challenge like they were navigating a Root at Le Grave…first run we saw them gazing at the precipitous drop of the challenge headwall and in my head was,”don’t start don’t start”..and for once they didn’t start..so Atomic Jeff and Johnny Law were really able to slut it up..then next run that group was middle of second headwall but we’ll off to the side and next run when JLaw and AJeff hit up NMSW and I did Challenge again, the group was at the bottom of the Falls… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 84737293 people lined up 30ft in front of the gates so no one can get through and then using two lanes. Most importantly no fuck heads endlessly dicking around in shitter stance with absolutely zero awareness. I think that group was psia, makes sense but most of those dudes are single trick ponies, hence their love of perfecting stupid little c turns and stopping every 20ft to have a confab on edge purchase. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mute1080 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 (edited) Went up tonight 6-8 and had a kids night. Our trail list was Pdis, Lazy, and Burma on repeat and all the side hits they offer. Definitely a firm base with sugar but still had a great time. Crowds were mild and around 7 they disappeared almost completely. Nice to have it empty. Guns turned on for Switch at 7 and looked to be the only trail getting touched for now. Is there a gofundme for Blue so they can buy light bulbs? Keeps getting worse and every trail we were on have sections out. Edited February 7 by mute1080 4 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even really knocking them for all the drills and what not it's just like if your goal was to remove all joy you couldn't be more successful. Plus they don't get it like really at all, everything is from the person's perspective which is at the end of the day almost irrelevant. Cog outside com everyone falls, it doesn't matter how good you are or not so why does everyone visualize and conceptualize it from that point of view.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t go until the weekend. And sometimes when you have kids, that’s your only option. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Momskeeze When I started skiing it was almost exclusively night skiing because it was cheape, like $20. I didn't have any season passes. Now that I've seen the light at how much better early morning skiing is on fresh courdoroy, the icy and sugary slopes of night skiing are far less appealing.

C1erArt Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Nice conditions today, almost as good as yesterday. Freefall was a little marbley, Paradise very good first thing - the bottom got marbley later, NMDW was excellent all morning, apparently they are spraying urea on Razors to harden it up (not many people on it), Challenge was excellent, Lazy good, Main St was soft on top and marbles below Midway but very skiable. The limejacket group had Curzi’s Cabin closed. Making a lot of progress on Switchback, just getting started on upper Sidewinder. A lot of lesson groups and, I think, PSIA certification going on. A really good day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
