First night session of the season. Shooting for 6pm
-
not sure if it'll materialize but im finna be there later, like 630
-
nvm misread that
-
cams show only quad open but 6 is spinning. i guess that's good news
-
should be a nice day today now that the wind has died down a bit. won't be making it. perhaps my first night session, who knows?
-
they just started assessing when we got on the six. climbed up the first pole so i'm not sure if it has anything to do with what's inside the big structure. maybe they can rip a wheel off the burma lift. not like it runs that much anyway.
-
I'll say some prayers for its replenishment.

430am and i know that i'm gonna have that ridiculous song stuck in my head all day now. thanks.
-

this is good and all, but when can we expect the sick, full edit video for your trip?
-
that reminds me, i can't wait for my clock to be accurate again on sunday.

nevermind, i can't look at a photo correctly. i thought it was a wifi unit, looks like part of the boom.

im withholding my comments until i can figure out what the lead time is on purchasing one of these.

he seems pretty normal to me. usually he has headphones in but i was chatting with him a couple of lift rides the one weekday recently. the weekday races for first chair brought about the convo.
-
during my conversation, i was told they were prob referring to whoever neglected to close it off...

well i'm back from an atypical day at blue mtn. not too busy today but i took the quad for all but 2 runs. was windy. arrived around 8:35 and it took me a second to realize that they were working on the normal row. was bizarre parking elsewhere but its all good. decided to take the quad up first run. paid off and I was three chairs ahead of the sixer by the top and able to make my way to the top of... a closed Razor's edge. FML. wasn't paying attn and got pretty close to the fence so had to skate over to a very firm, semi-cookied challenge. not bad though, was a consistent condition and level throughout. did main street next. some skiffs of light snow on a lot of it, with the one side of it groomed. wasnt sticky or anything. pretty good. sidewinder next, firm, little cookies, finally noticed the rollers ppl were talking about, little guys. switch after that, even though it wasn't terrible, it was worse than normal. on the ride up the quad, i noticed that 'lower razors' was open, so a run down sidewinder with some speed at the bottom and I may or may not have have indulged. lazy mile was ROTD since tut's lane doesn't count. chalky, soft snow. a little slow but it was good. another run down sidewinder with boomers acting as slalom gates with enough speed to maybe hit lower razors again. took one last quad ride up to get some pics. but it got interesting. 'lower razors' was in the process of being closed, ah well, that was that. until i heard ski patrol, clearly from above, saying 'people are stupid'. who is stupid? whoever went onto an open trail or whoever neglected to do their job? well i had to find out of course, so quick final run down challenge where i stopped to have a chat with one of them (it was not the person who said it) asking who was stupid and let them know that they could be heard from the lift above. it was a polite chat, they were just doing their job, but the possibility of them calling someone stupid for going somewhere not closed did not sit well. anyway, that was that, back to the lot and left. overall it was a pretty good day.

sat nope sun maybe

what are these rollers on sidewinder??? i didn't notice them. first chair quad got to razors before first chair on sixer could. razors was ROTD, few cookies laying on top of well groomed snow but easy to avoid. challenge was fuckin laughable, i didn't even bother. 3rd run - upper main was a beautiful, soft carpet, lower was polar opposite, not too bad though. switch was surprisingly good. might be there tomorrow

I feel like they will match whatever you find if you ask.
-
