2/4/24…sunny Sunday, a little better
AirheadD8 replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Did they dress up coming soon a little last night? -
Still looking good for mid month onward 👍
-
EPWA’s been doing a decent job so far. Pattern changes is coming although it’s a little late but there’ll be a bunch of chances for some more 6” plus storms.
-
Yeah, looked at my weather ap wrong. Next weekend 55° for 3 days
-
This one’s better. It was nice to see some sunshine playing with the clouds. The lifty pointed out the snow squall. He thought we were going to get dumped. I figured it would fade by the time it got to blue but didn’t want to pee in his cornflakes. I stayed on Challenge except for one run down “ Going fast “ Coming soon “ It was getting a bit translucent. It was nice to ski some natural bumps. I was sick last week and worked a lot this week and didn’t get out. Things are a bit bony in places. I think they might loose a couple trails this week.
-
After a few more runs things are improving. Some snow squalls up north, I’m thinking tomorrow morning will be pretty firm but nice by mid morning.
-
Challenge is bumped up 🤟 Falls ss well. Not sure how long my legs will last tonight. Lots of washboards down low. and heavy mashed potatoes everywhere else.

Tomorrow afternoon. A scary big yellow ball in the sky is supposed to make an appearance over the weekend. May do a hike and look for some BC area in case winter actually happens in two weeks. -
Any bumps to speak of?
-
I’m just a poor boy…
-
I believe it’s called Mead https://www.delish.com/food/a28691670/what-is-mead-honey-wine/

A month out isn’t too far away. Bobby doesn’t do seasonal forecasts for that reason, I’m trying to keep a positive attitude.
-
Winter is coming back in time for spring.🙃 Could be a nice storm around the 16th Cold from mid February through middle March with a bunch of shots on goal.
-
Short 12-1:30 session , I swear I heard a foghorn. Up top still about 50’ visibility . I was feeling pretty crappy and fighting a cold but wanted to ski some bumps. 5 or 6 runs down main . Last run I could actually see. Busses were rolling In when I left. Way overdressed I was soaked from the inside and low energy level but happy I went.
-
First night session of the year for me 5:45 start . Things were firming up from earlier Main st not fun marbles near the bottom. Coming soon ditch was ok with some thin spots. Paradise wasn’t bad . Razors was really nice on the sides up top but got a little thin and the runout was rather shiny. Fun night got better as the surface got skied over a bunch.

Haha F lift, are the Lifties playing loud death metal music again this year?
-
Maybe they have pipe issues? I’m not giving up on the season just yet, looks like some potential shots on goal second half of January and early March. At least no monsoons and blowtorch so they can keep refreshing what’s there.
-
Meh for 3 weeks, could be worse.
-
Hopefully hitting Trex when we get more snow for some downhill . I’m looking for spots for parking?
-
Afternoon foray. Deep Creek park at Greenlane. I had thoughts of untracked runs but there were tons of parents and kids who left not 1” untouched ☹️ So I settled for a couple laps off the disc golf path , no much pitch but fun . Met a fellow named Rodney who skis at Blue a lot. He was doing some XC with a bunch of family.

How’s your foot afterwards? -
Today was a good day for that if you choose wisely. Under the Quad uphill from Razors and a couple other areas. Kudos to Blue today for controlling the cattle. I stayed on the Quad most of the afternoon. They paired everyone up and the lift only stopped once in 3hrs I was there! Great day 12-5 session with only a short break, I felt 20 years younger all day. Rotd ended up a perfectly timed accident. I was drooling over the fresh carpet on Razors when I saw 2 tracks down, Patrollers? Yeah . I spotted a crowd at the rope! Yes , skate and hit speed right as the rope dropped! Later runs were ok . Most of the mountain is in pretty good shape. Lazy was quite crowded but ok if you kept your speed down due to washboards. Jay has its “Jay Cloud “ Blue has “Nightmare cloud” crazy micro climate all day over the top of Nightmare . Great job Blue! Ps Park is a total shit show at the entrance!
-
Actually the crowd is moving along relatively well. Just took a break I’ve been hitting for 3hrs . Get your Frogger on near the base. Scrapped up on the steep but manageable.
-
Chinese Downhill Alert!!!! They just opened Razors I saw the crowd forming and skated up as they dropped the rope, there was an inch of freshies. Get some!!!👏
