Kyle Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 just got back from blue. got their at around 930 because we had to drive an extra hour north so my dad could get his skis out of our house. (long story on why we didn't come up sunday and stay over at our house) anyway got booted up, bought tickets, and was on the lift by 9:40. the place was e-m-p-t-y until about 12 then it started to get a little crowded. still finished 20 runs before 11:30 and got about 27 more from 11:30-3:20. all in all it wasn't a bad day for being a holiday and all. the steps in sidewinder aren't really keeping noobs out of the park. maybe for next year some sort of park pass? but other than that sidewinder was incredible. good job park crew on keeping the features pristine today! the bus is insane and the c rail/box is pretty challenging. the f-d-f s box is pretty damn hard though. i couldn't get past the falt part it would always shoot me off. good day at blue and the 6 pack is the smoothest lift i've ever been on.

AtomicSkier Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Nobody, and I mean nobody laps Blue faster then Doug and I do. The best we've ever done is 8 runs in 1 hour. That's the ABSOLUTE best you can do, though 7 is the norm when there are absoloutely no lift lines. 6 with light crowds, 5 with a few minute wait. Reminds me of a lift ride last year: Guy: "Beautiful morning out here, I've got 9 runs in already" Doug: "No you don't" Guy: "Yes I do" Doug: "You haven't lapped us yet, and you don't ski as fast as us, and we only have 8" Guy: "I actually think I only did 7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to stop in the parking every 2 runs and take your skis off, and plus you get bored just skiing, so we lap the mountain the fastest. Funny, I've never seen you lap us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicSkier Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I skied down the steps yesterday...7.5 steezys out of 10...anyway once I get on some Pontoons I'll be hitting some of the backside chutes off the Appalachian Trail.. Pontoon dimensions...FYI Dimensions (tip/waist/tail): 160 /130/120 mm. in 176 cm. length Those are the equivilents of 300cm skis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finndog Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I'll pay a lot of money to watch you take pontoons into a chute! Pontoons were designed for only one thing, that's 2 plus feet of powder (not blown crystals), big wide open areas like Chugatch or Alyeska with NO groomed and you don't plan on making any turns tighter than 30 m. The reverse camber alone will make them unusable on any kind of groomed snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 you dont "pick up" a pair of pontoons. you empty your bank account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finndog Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 No Worries, Phil will sell them just fine. I was actually looking forward to demoing them. I ski on Head SuperShapes (170) and Head 82's. The ski guy is in Washington State at Village ski. All his stuff is brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
