Today was not great and probably especially bullshit if you were traveling recently and got the goods. Still some redeeming turns out there and it wad dope to hear about everyone's recent adventures.

C1er and BFG crew in the house, otherwise low crowds. It was grey and super flat light to start but the sun started working its magic around 10 and things improved quickly. Generally the quad side stuff was quite firm, lumpy side is one of my favorites but with the flat light I haven't figured out a rhythm yet and they are monster up top where you can only do 5mph. The main st side was much better and main or the variation with Raceway/midway/chute held grippy turns. They put a booter back in at main center of switch which is most enjoyable. As the sun worked the surface more and more the hardness started to evaporate to softer slushy like turns and it was dope left side all the way home. Not sure what tomorrow holds but it could be better than you think and they got the new sixer running.

I'll be there sat and Sunday

I was noodling down the top of coming soon, I make a left to setup the right into the headwall and bam theres c1er. I thought yesterday was pretty ok, my main concern is the lack of a running new sixer. They gotta get it going before the weekend though I like how nice it keeps switch and main.

Saturday was hilarious, I think it's fair to say it will be along time before myself, schif and Ben all slide off the platform. Bonus points to benm for the Keri strug like recovery. Sunday I thought was actually a vast improvement and not just because enjo cooked but they blow snow and it was better. Saturday you could get an edge with lots of angle but it felt to high risk whereas Sunday you could let it rip more. The 1 inch last night similarly super helped today. Also only the quad was working for awhile which actually made it super nice. Switch and main held untouched cord well after 10 and I mostly bombed the fuck out of switch. Word of caution and it's scary if I'm the voice of caution but the surface underneath still sucks, Razors in particular is still very hard underneath with somewhat unmarked jumps. One of the weekday regulars took a scary beater, twice couldn't get back up and had to get a ride. The grip is there but think about it if it goes wrong because with the glide your going to be on the ground in a hurry.

Absolutely scandalous, that's so dirty you should be arrested for indecent exposure. Normally peeps say to get some but in this case way to get some, white room time is rare.

Fucking sick! Slutty hobacks pics if your taking requests.

The most important thing is have fun but number 2 is climb with your legs not with your arms. Super glad the snow worked out and you got some good turns in.

I just never have good luck on a Friday though its probably all my fault. It wasn't bad but compared to previous and with a wicked fog it wasn't nearly as pleasant. Grip was as expected mostly excellent but there are a few icy spots coming through that could put you in the woods. Rotd was whatever you could see on. The new blown is a slop fest, falls had alot of horizontal speed bump type shit early and it wasn't very crowded in the drizzle.

Anyone heading up be careful 35 degrees but the roads are icing. Mosserville if you know that road was a sheet and they were out treating. It caught me a bit off guard when it understeered like a grandma in a dump truck. Wheel path is fine but get in the millionth of inch debris and weeeeeeee

Sick snow on the way !

An og like you is straight cross point, bless this home and stuff ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Glad the snow came around for you ridge, get some

Have fun and schralp the fuck out of everything

I had some time before going to work and went skiing. Windy Af, at like a 60 degree angle which made up top super slow. C1er in the house and I think that was it, I said hi to him but some rando in the middle knew me I guess and then I had to talk to him. They put the jumps back up on Razors and were still working on Challenge/falls. Everything except the ditch was slow as the wind was really working up the hill. First run down razors was more similar to last week but by the second run it was more of a traditional blue surface and the skis got the zoomies. Grip is still generally fantastic but more hardness coming through and it's getting loose alot quicker. I got 10 runs in and hr and half, with nice temps and no one out it was quite nice trying not to get blown off the mtn.

As long as you got something to slide on your all good.

You had bandits no ? I have a pair of romulan era bandit squads that are yours if you want them. They are big boy skis but I'd think you would enjoy them. 189 and they like to charge everything. I have a pair of pbjs I'd give away too but they are sans brake and I can't in good conscience.

Wayne Wong, that is a good trip !

Damn dude looks super crowded with all those people in your pics and fresh snow...... sick bird !

It's amazing how much better it is than the trail itself sometimes

C1er, air and Glenn/bfg crew in the house. Low crowds though alot ot ikon, I talked to 3 groups with southern accents. Blowing on Challenge/falls and the learning hill. Razors continues to deliver most excellent slutty turns but with the warmer temps and Challenge blow over the upper headwall got a little rowdy around 10. Also I was the first civilian down and there was a shit ton of debris. Mostly golf ball size I don't think they would have done anything but strange considering otherwise it was nearly perfect. Side was nearly as good but they had falls and lower closed and that lower lazy cross over is awkward AF. Coming Soon the headwall continues to allude them and while grip is good your better in the ditch. The upper upper lip on main has grown and you can flair float to Constantinople. Switch was also very good but with a super flat middle riser I find it alot more boring. A super nice low crowd sunny day, not much more you can ask from a blue day.

Negative but I saw the old guy today that we thought may be dead. He was exactly the same as ever. Alas fate has conspired against me and I'll be in DE for a party.

What a morning.....There are few things better than formation flying with the crew on a Friday morning with most excellent conditions. Razors was absolutely mint, at one point I took half a turn to take it all in. Sun shinning Atomic out front, gss and nm on the wings, everyone just arcing the shit out of it and you get that feeling where you feel bad for non skiers. Like wtf did you do this morning....close the Johnson account? All of it is very very good but it's hard to turn down max slutty razors so it was one other and then a razors, rinse and repeat. Beg,borrow, steal but get out there and get some before it's a memory and we are back to the regular stuff. I cannot recall a better stretch in recent years and I don't know that it had this kind of grip.

If that's the case then I have to sing to myself less lol lol lol I went new sixer first as I got there later and then quad but I do always think it's funny how you can miss people on such a small hill. Alf Engen just rolled over in his grave but relative to our normal slop this grade a caviar doesn't have nearly the same glide and maybe only Atomic has that hard a wax on at blue. I do think if you had a linear structure on the ski like out west pow ski it would be better but I've never even asked what they do on the machine at blue. It's a very good problem to have though and man did it make razors a breeze.

How many plows do they even have ? I saw reports of LA/New Orleans and road dudes were out with hand shovels. Shit the whole state probably has less plows and salt than Berks County. I'm not saying they don't drive like absolute shit but it is funny to think of them trying to scrounge up plows. Houston I saw was super happy to get their hands on some from Indiana and I'm sure unless new they are getting the oldest, rustiest pos in the fleet.

And I'm losing control because the power Blue's supplying, it's electrifying. Nobody home, for the first time in two seasons I saw nobody I knew. It's obviously cold but with the sun and no wind it wasn't brutal. My toes did get a bit cold which is quite the accomplishment. The snow was super mega grip western groomer. Very dry and slow for blue standards, as the water is evaporating what's left behind is like a malformed dendritie or more accurate a round with fuzzy gripy fingers. Main first thing was just set it and forget it, whatever speed/turn shape you wanted. It was effortless and pure skiing. After dicking around over by main I went Razors as with the slower snow you just couldn't get to that top gear. Razors the entire way was just do whatever the fuck you want, many times there was no one on the trail and my God is nice to let the dogs out at blue. Ditch was good but the coming soon headwall was the only not great thing I found. Alas there is bad news to share as they have put 10000 features on nmdw, lots and lots of rails including one right in the kill box of the first turn. You can still find a way through but you can put a fork in it if you like the turn. Hopefully the low crowds are maintained through the weekend.
