If I'm them I don't see any reason to blow during the day unless the wind is cooperating, the next 5 nights are super cold and they can make as many piles as they want.

I'll know its time to roll over and die if a storm comes and I'm not half way to midnight. Beyond the skiing there is just something I love about a good storm. Storm nights the whole world gets silent and that which can't possibly get any more pedestrian becomes new and beautiful when cloaked in white. I got to Blue stupid early and from the drop it was boner city. Crowds were later than I expected and the wind was some how non existent. Everything was le tits even the ungroomed bouncy stuff. Main and middle of razors where absolutely mint. Do whatever the fuck you want kinda snow that feels like real actual skiing. The ditch was the best and stupid fun to make huge dumb slashy turns. Switch I landed flat and it stung me like two turns in and I still was big grinning coming out to main. I don't know that it's even the best snow I've skied at Blue this year, one morning with Atomic I recall being haul ass sea bass kinda snow but it's the whole thing that makes the snow day a snow day. Maybe I'll live to 100 but it will always be that surprise snow and they just announced your school is closed on the radio feeling. It was probably before then but since I came back from FL every day has been pretty damn good which is the longest stretch I can recall in the last couple seasons.

I'm glad I'm not the only one praying for those types to turn, if they go by the top lot that's double punishment. Mad people in my neighborhood complaining about Penndot but honestly I thought they have been money so far.

Congratulations !!!!

All blue related majors right lane is at least totally clear. 78/22 are clean as a baby's butt. Worst thing you'll come across is trucks that didn't clear their roof and 4x blinker peeps. MacArthur is the worst i came across they did the classic minor plow on the hills before the mall and then clean downhill two right lanes. Mad people spinning their tires trying to get up the like 3 hills. Clearly I overestimated the amount of traffic

6 to 7 in the ding as well. I went for a long walk with the touring rig and ended up the knob near 176. The truckers are back out and going regular speeds so the majors must be ok but it's drifting hard.

1/19…Sunday before the storm..pretty decent
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
That way though is a total no brainer, it's totally flat. If it's the shit I just go straight at the bridge and it's like 10 min longer but zero effort required. -

Shoveled at half time, 4-5 so far in the ding and still coming down hard. Blue I think is too busy for real rider of the storm, glad I didn't try for that.

1/19…Sunday before the storm..pretty decent
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
All the trucks are at home, best drive in a decade at least. Much better day than I maybe thought, crowds were very low for a Sunday and the snow was good even when it got ratty. I don't fuck with lazy so only thing I thought that was not good was nmdw. The features aren't as bad as in the past and I think we'll figure out a good path but too many cookies. Super props to enjo for cooking, no matter the conditions that makes for a most excellent day and those shrimp ! Special shout out to little boo, one for hooking me up with cookies and two for an incident with a boarder. I hope she wrangled something good out of you Mute for that one.- 17 replies

1/18…pretty nice Saturday session
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Today was awesome, snow was generally pretty good and while it was busy the lines were not terrible until 10. It will be nice once nmdw cookies break down and there is another way down but pretty much everything was worth it. I love that you can feel the energy and excitement with tomorrow's potential storm, in like electricity in the air. -
I'll ski you there

This week has been very good top to bottom and while not as good as yesterday it's still pretty fucking good for blue mtn. You can go all out in spots but other spots there was some slip in the transition where the ski is flat for a moment. Lower left main was absolutely mint but the rest was a mixed bag. I thought the best was side but mostly just as it was relatively empty. Super dope to have a big weekday crew with special guest appearances by boo bear. I'm optimistic the weekend will be good at least for the first 20 mins, its snowing half decent too.

It's in NJ, that's all you need to know.......no matter the snow it's always still mtn creek

Tussey maintenance makes blue mtn look like Courchevel

Way back I rode alot of knob, don't sleep on that road. It may be pa but it's one of the most dangerous I've ever seen. I'm out of the loop but all I've heard is the knob has no money and therefore no money to blow snow hence no customers. Denton always has had a couple of hardcores but with all the jazz about getting that place open and peeps buying every resort they can get their hands on it doesn't make a ton of sense they are so broke.

When you get that first arc and you can see, hear and feel it's fucking mint it's like pure electric flowing from the edges directly into your brain. Pretty much everything was good but some where about as good as blue gets. Main in particular you could do any angle or turn shape you wanted at any speed, just absolute bliss. There is still the groomer on Razors and nmdw is probably over as they were blowing whales but it didn't matter at all as everything was just so good. Up against the clock I took three more one more runs and when I ran into boo bear on the way out one half of my brain was trying to con the other half into taking another run. Rare to not get your phil like Mickelson and assuming Fri and Sat don't get too warm could be a good weekend.

I'll be up tomorrow morning just maybe not right at opening.

Damn dude, he told me years ago it pays for his wife's insulin but I always think he must be collecting from everywhere because alu is like 80 cents a lb. I want to throw him some loot but no way he'd take it.
-
I vote that they let the lower lot can guy go official and let him clean up the hill. All cans will be gone by 730 Saturday morning.

Arrived under sunny skies but winder and cold, far far less people were in the house and I only rode with Airhead and Atomics friend the Bush Agent. I might have seen C1er as he was getting on the quad but it could have been a look alike. Only the quad and new 6 running so I started quad, Razors had a Berlin wall like setup going so we went Nmdw which looked mint but had more of a firmness crunchy layer than sat-mon. Grip was still excellent but it definitely requires more angle and commitment. Challenge, Side, Coming Soon were all very good but exactly the same snow though it did look and feel like they blew in some rando spots mostly down low. Switch was good but I'm still pouring one out for my homey as without the middle air it's less interesting. Best run of the day was Raceway,mid, lower main. For unknown reasons that combo and upper main held snow without the harder layer and I ran those until I had to work. It's possible with some good solar radiation that the upper layer softens which would make it divine but hell if I know if or when that would happen. Thinking with a groom out tomorrow could be good as well.

Rode with non-vt mark and c1er. Sky was grey and crowds were moderate for a Monday but non existent compared to the weekends. I went challenge, Razors, nmdw then side and all were absolutely perfect cord to just arc the fuck out of everything. I was antsy in the pantsy to turn the throttle up to 400 and it was so nice to be able to put the throttle down without having to dodge endless Jerry's. I went nmdw again but it had started to cookie up some, this and the coming soon headwall got some light pebs once the top layer was off but the ditch was full on boxer rebellion. Super spongy scratchy snow and the right side walls are so big you think you're out in red Square. Main, Curtis where all total boner city but switch was nearly perfect. Excellent snow with nobody home and your coming out of that like Franz Klamerr at Kitzbühel. Super good morning and extra nice after all the crowds to unclog my chi. Hopefully the minor brick up tonight doesn't add a crunchy layer.

1/12/25nice snow and busy..Taco Sunday.
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
First couple were le tits, maybe even better than yesterday but it lasted all of 20 mins and my lord the crowds. It was busy by 750 which has to be a record. I thought nmdw was the best but probably anything early was excellent. The mowed down the little riser on switch which is mad disappointing but I doubt blue was thinking of my boost. The true star is today was the tacos, super props to enjo, they were banging and there is nothing like great food and shooting the shit after skiing. -
Titty sparkles everywhere, way to slut it up for the camera too

1/11…a friendly inch..very nice and busy
Johnny Law replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
I didn't see anything, if your far right at the merge at main it cuts way in and is not visible until your on top of it but that was the only thing I saw.
