damn. i was planning on skiing the 13th morning there. but probably not now if the park is going to be closed for a comp. what a boner.

bonus: WBCA on tap at the bar up top.

hopefully you guys get some snow. coverage is great at Blue.... haha.

the next 2 mondays i work 7-7 and the following monday i'll be in Utah. not looking so good for me this year, again.

like a piece of the agrocrag from gutz?

anyway, like justin said, today was really good. here is some photo evidence: pic of lower park and them grooming out central park a shot of the jump line on sidewinder. kinda hard to see. bumps on challenge. the bumps were better on mainstreet as you can see by justin's video. the snow was awesome today. no complaints at all. justo and ryan doing their thing... grooming was good today as well. again, no complaints with grooming in weeks. they stepped it up after all the complaints. and what makes it better is that they have been blowing a nice layer on most of the trails right after they are groomed. then we ended the day with some shooting in the lower park since thats all thats worth filming right now. both gopros were out today so the lower park probably looks like a circus with our cameras mounted on our helmets and poles. and thats all. photo and video reports making PASR so much better. i'm glad people are starting to do that more now. yay.

we were looking for you today.

nice pictures Dave. looks like the perfectly timed trip up north for you.

love the lift picture.

jerk. too bad you have to run demos all day.

every man for himself. you have to push away from the lift before you get taken out by up to 5 other people riding with you.

after the first headwall its just as flat as it has always been. the bumps on the left side are kinda fun though, with freshly blown snow.

conditions were great first thing this morning. i was up with angry hugo for most of the morning. had the gopro out again and was shooting some video and photos. just trying to get used to the thing and what it can do. lots of fun. great conditions. grooming was good. and about the issues you had: riding the double chairs is pretty much a waste of time if the quad and 6pack are up and running. you can make it to almost most of the mountain from them. and the stuff that you cant make it to, isnt usually worth hitting anyway. as for the rope being up, i was pissed about that too because i could get back to the upper lodge that way. but when main street is closed for grooming and blowing there is really no other option. beginners who go that way can very easily turn down 'crossing' or whatever its called to take mainstreet back down. its nothing to be pissed about since it was posted on the website this morning and the closed trails board in the lodge. if you missed it, its your own fault pretty much. i just forgot about it when i was up there today. anyway, back out tomorrow morning for some more turns.

hopefully you guys can at least get one of the parks open. i cant wait for everything to be open. the lower park gets old when its the only thing there.

baked potato with chili and cheese is the best thing they have. so good.

conditions were great this morning. cant wait to get back up there the next two mornings. looks like some more parks should be opening up.

i'll be there in the AM.

jadip for sure. i'll be back out again shortly after opening tomorrow. anybody else?

Oh hello everybody. got up to Blue today and on the snow around 8:45. conditions were awesome. they blew snow on a lot of the mountain and the grooming was awesome once again. it seems like ever since that opening weekend they have gotten their act together and started to groom much better. i haven't had an issue with it since then. anyway. took a few pictures. met up with Chippy for a few hours, and then left sometime around 11:15 i think. i hate writing TR's, so i prefer to just show you photos of the place since thats more enjoyable than reading stupid TRs. so here are some pictures and the first video i took with the GoPro today. enjoy. sun starts peeking over the mountain first ride up. very few people out early today. empty corals for about the first hour i was up there. then chippy came with all the other philly people. the grooming was awesome, challenge was a ton of fun today. bumps on the left, great cord on the right. falls had a great little lip on it that you could launch halfway down so for me, this was the run of the day. there's chippy. oh, and the infamous 'one-legged-steeze' central park should be opening soon! yay. thats about it. i'm gonna try to post up the video of challenge. if that embedded video doesnt work, try this:

no doubt about it, go this weekend.

there is some interest from me.

so stoked.

its 20 feet. anything but huge.

i've always wanted to do this. kinda.
