1/7….windy and nice snow

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey All,

 

I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 835am and it was 19 degrees under party sunny skys with strong winds out of the northwest.  In the house were Atomic Jeff, Johnny Law, Airhead, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Rodney, Harold and Kumar. 
 

Dilly dallied around at the base while atomic picked up his skis so wasn’t on the first chair but about two minutes back.  First run on Challenge was really nice snow in a wind tunnel. Repeated that and then nightmare dreamweaver which had very nice groomed smooth snow and a little blow over from the guns on Razors.  After a repeat of NMDW over to Main Street which wasn’t that good.  Frozen hardpack and some mini cookies from new snowmaking. They did remove the features on Barbs way which is good news.  
 

Back for more on challenge which was now cookies on the top headwall and NMDW which stayed good until I peaced out at 1030.  I wouldn’t say it was crowded but it was busy but no real lines with all three high speeds running.  Now back at work like a dork and did a little work before skiing as well.

I saw about Camelback I’m sure pretty busy.

It seems more busy this year in general and my theory is it's in part because CB is sucking pretty hard.  

Today was dope, NMDW delivered excellent turns with more winter like snow.  Vis was not great and I had trouble spotting the left but it was so nice to let them fly. 

Switch is always super fun and totally empty at least when I was on it which is just so nice after the weekend crowds. 

I'm headed to Miami and won't be back until this weekend but while getting a mount the main shop lady said they have already sold a stupid number of tickets for this weekend but it could be all lies and innuendo too, it is blue after all.

Fun hour before work. Wind blown sasturgi over shiny cord up top. Challenge was nice top of sidewinder was gale force. 
Main st glade was other worldly . 
Nightmare seemed to be the best snow on the mountain.

That's fucking insane, you couldn't pay me 125 to ski there for 8hrs on Saturday but short of the covid year demand seems high.

Yes, there isn't much that would compel me to Florida twice during ski season. I hope they don't suck.
