Excellent day. Not much else to add from what @GrilledSteezeSandwichsaid. I liked the ungroomed switch, ungroomed side not as much but still fun. Conditions were excellent throughout. Even finished the day off with a run through blue baumer. The sun was a god send today because it was dang cold

Congratulations to you both!

Yeah. The red plastic thing. I had two that magically disappeared . I didn’t think to shove anything in there.
-
Just got in. Shoveled because I’m a jackass and lost the snowblower key. Thank God it wasn’t wet heavy slop.
-
How heavy is it. I’m waiting it out
-
Blizzard conditions indeed

Those first sidewinder runs were perfection. So good that everything after that was a bit of a let down. Don't get me wrong it was good all things considered but those first runs are why you get in line at 740 am. Fun quick session for me. It's coming down hard outside. Tomorrow will be a good one -
The timing if it makes me nervous. Based on the forecast, We won't get it in the AM tomorrow. It'll start after skiing tomorrow and be over by midnight tomorrow night so it'll get groomed in for Monday. Monday will be good no doubt but I think we can leave our floatation devices at home unfortunately. Tomorrow night could be prime.

Really nice views of the surrounding hills

I skied there once in the pouring rain. Reminded me of big boulder but with a nice hotel and lodge. It’s good if you’re close I guess.

Just got back. Everything was good. I’m giving it a 9.7. The inch or two of fairy dust that fell from the sky made things pretty consistent throughout. Mostly chalky with a ton of grip. Not the fastest snow in the world but it didn’t matter. Even did a run through sleepy hollow for stoke. I’m assuming school groups canceled so the crowds were minimal with maybe 3 or 4 buses total. I thought it may be good when I left and saw how sketch the roads were. Took me and 15 minutes or so longer than normal keeping it in third pretty much the whole way. Our school just announced a 2 hour delay tomorrow. Fun night for sure. Ski you all on Sunday.

I’m going RAW dawg tonight so hoping conditions stay nice

I’ll be in Lancaster for a volleyball tournament on Saturday. So looking like Sunday and Monday for me.

First time I’ve ever heard of a resort removing trails. What’s the reason for that?
-
Oh shit that's right. Ugh
-
I think I’m gonna head down for a few runs. Lines don’t look bad Edit...nah wind is kicking up.
-
I remember big boulder had funnels with basketball nets attached to the top. Smh.
-
You're spot on. I guess what I don't understand is why is it just here (Blue, Camelback etc.) this is a non issue at every other ski area that I've been to outside of NEPA. It's really not an issue and Elk or even Frost. My theory is that it's happening mostly at night with school groups etc.
-
Trash cans at the top and bottom, remove the funnel, instead throw signs up everywhere that say "please keep our mountain beautiful, do not litter" or "littering is subject to pass removal". Also Put "littering is subject to a fine and removal of pass" in big bold letters on tickets, trail maps, lift towers etc...everything basically so when someone gets caught patrol has every right to take their shit and kick them out. You get caught once you lose your pass. You get caught a second time you're subject to a lifetime ban from Blue mountain.

Sending people out to pick it up is great but that’s not the solution. They need to do whatever they can to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Where's the Pizza from? A&G?
