And another....

Grease clogging the gears?

The grooming on Razor's and Challenge was horrendous. Leaving piles/ridges/ruts on those slopes in particular is not safe at all.

Probably the same would happen if one of the biggies would buy Blue...

Wow! Once the temps came up and the sun hit the slopes, the snow turned hero and it was bumpapalooza across the entire mountain! Slowly the groomer-made disaster bumps turned skiable, but another set formed just outside them which were far more fun to ski. Not being satisfied with the groomer-made crap bumps, we set a single exhausting line from Chute down to almost The Lazy intersection on Main Street, skiers right. By 1:00 pm all of lower MS was bumped up and claiming many a victim. On one run down to the 6-pack, there was a HUGE commotion at the MS/LM intersection, with line 10 SP and a few other BM people all attending to someone lying on the snow. Must have been a pretty spectacular collision, I presume. Rode up the 6 to find both Challenge & Razors headwalls all bumped up. Took a rundown Challenge which was a hoot of spring skiing fun! Legs are totally shot. Definitely the most fun conditions of the season so far!

A lot of the bumpheads at Blue used to ski Spring a lot. Not so much now, but they do get out there on occasion.

Was pretty much the same at Blue today, until the front came through, then it was pretty nice.

You didn't miss anything, as they were in just slightly better shape than the disaster the groomers left them in for us. Luckily the warmth allowed us to make another line outside the bumps Blue's groomers created. After the rain came through, it brightened up and the sun almost was able to break through. The snow was hero into the afternoon.

Have a most-excellent trip!

Yeah, nobody was anticipating perfection at all, with a new groomer(s) making them with little/no prior experience. Hopefully they'll be open to suggestions on how to improve them.

I saw someone filming right as we were walking off and I also saw a News 10 truck leaving the lot. They were also grooming NM/DW all day, so that will be opening soon as well.

Wow! Was so excited to see from the lower parking lot that Blue had seeded bumps on Main Street, but that excitement was short-lived after seeing them up close and personal. The operative word is “seed”, as moguls will grow on their own. They don’t need to be dug in! For some reason the bumps are at least twice as wide as they need to be meaning that all of Barney’s is WAY too wide, stretching halfway across Main Street. All of Barney’s 5 lanes could be cut in half. Like @Johnny Law said in the lot: A For effort, D for execution. The groomer that set them needs just a bit of insight on how to seed bumps. Excitement from the valley lot! Uh oh! Yikes!! Cliff jumping anyone? Yuge!!

Happy Holidays one and all!

Yeah, instead of renting, try demoing. Some of the mountain ski shops will allow you, for a fee, to demo different skis to help you decide on what you might like to own to fit your ability, terrain, style, etc.

I believe so!

An instant classic!

Dammit! Missed the karaoke. Anyone record any of it?

Snow was best so far this season and kudos to Enjoralas for all the meats!

Take it to the European skiing thread!

There's always hope, but knowing Blue Mountain there's very little... I saw they made new trail maps, little foldy-bendy ones that I'm sure @tarponhead would like, since he's into foldy-bendy stuff lately.

We took a run down it shortly after it opened, meh. Needs the fluffer big time!

Remains to be seen, unfortunately.

Now we have @RootDKJ rollers and @Benm balls!

Appears as though you already did!
