SHE'S BACK!

hehe

I'm sorry.

NASTAR starts this Thursday at 6:30pm on Raceway @ Blue Mountain! We'll have a skeleton crew on Thursday, as Doug is in JH, and Ski has to work

Come do NASTAR at Blue on Thursday

That's a good thing, in a way

jussttttt like riding out west

xbitch11 was filming it

its 6:30 on Thursdays...2pm on Sundays.

It was you that posted a really good article about lift lines/loading/etc right? And everything you said makes sense. But for the first hour, when the n00bs aren't out yet, they could crank it up so I could get 8 runs off the pack, rather then 7.

Don't fear! Tretiak is here! Where you working the quad today? Can you PLEASE tell them to speed the two high speeds up? They're freaking running at a SNAIL pace.

Danger, can you hook me up with your dealer? I took a ride on the quad over Razor's today to see how the snowmaking was going. It'll be open next weekend, maybe Friday, no earlier, that's for sure, since they'll want to get the full width open,

hahahahahahahahahaha

It runs at 2pm on Sundays.

I am a firm believer in the putting the bar down. It is a safety device, and a pretty dam good one. It's like not wearing a seatbelt, "What are the chances of it happening?" If I'm going to get hurt skiing, I don't want it to be from falling off the lift. That just wouldn't be a nice way to go. However, I will say one thing, I am guilty of not putting the bar down all the time. The only time it won't go down is if I'm riding with 5 other boarders on the 6Pack, because I understand it's a pain for them, and I just hold on to the side (as I'm always sitting on either side). Some snowboarder got pissed because I put the bar down, and he said something, so when I put it back up, I brought it back down and gave him a nice little pop on his helmet, a "Thank you". Putting the bar down keeps you safe, gives you something to lean on, and let's you rest your legs. Put the bar down.

Twas freakin collddd last night. Got down to almost 12 I think. I pulled in the lot at exactly 7:15am. Booted up at booter speed, and got in line. The line skipper was already in line with GAHskier George, we talked for about 5 minutes until they let us in. I got my pass scanned second, and the rush started. I was on the first chair with 4 other people . First run was down Lazy and some gaper friend of GAHskier George's felt the need to show off and pass me, so I dropped down into an uber tuck, and he tried to do the same, but by the time I got back to the Pack, he was no where in sight. I kept a pretty steady 6.5 runs/hour pace, even through the 2nd hour, which was pretty impressive, imo. Around 9:15 I took a quad ride, because they had opened it up, and the 6pack had backed up slightly. It was nice to be back on the quad, it feels so dam small though. I also wanted to check out the snow on Razors and Paradise. They both are going to need SEVERAL more nights of snowmaking, that's for sure. However, in less then 36 hours they have made a complete white out on Sidewinder. The amount of snow they have is freakin insane. The piles are soooo huge for such a short amount of time. The snowmaking power they have on that trail is so impressive. We should definatly see that open end of the week at the latest, since setting up the park takes awhile, though it wouldn't surprise with if they opened it Wednesday maybe? Conditions were a little more slick then yesterday. Even my first and second run down the center of lazy the GS:11s slipped a few times. Main Street was really nice. No signs of any PASR's besides jibhonks Justo and Toast, who were keepin it steezy in the lower park. I didn't see any middle aged gapers on twin tips with a girl with pig tails following, which means I didn't get to see sexkitten and bob. I didn't see there car there at 7:20, so they were probably cleaning. I ended up doing 14 packs and 1 quad.

ZOMG GUYS! LOWER SIDEWINER DOESN'T HAVE ANY SNOW ON IT! WILL IT EVER OPEN!?!?!? You're an idiot.

I had my own little slalom course at blue mountain

Doug isn't lying when he says all the ski patrollers at Blue are pot heads. Except concusion ted

how was it?

Awesome! Doesn't look like a 24m course to me
