  1. Steamboat has lots of mellow glades..and when new to tree skiing it's more exploring and dilly dallying you don't have to charge the shit..most skiing deaths occur on Blue groomers because people easily hit speeds over 50 mph due to the width and pitch
  2. Try the Slalom glades to the right of upper nosedive they are good mellow glares with widely spaced trees..when skiing glades you ski between the trees..this is being being a herb at Jackson hole in the Bivoac woods.
  3. At Elk if you ski off piste the patrollers get piste off
  4. Tree skiing is allowed at Blue..when it snows over 10" I'll show you honeybee bowl..mandatory giant slalom turns required definitely red Trapezoid on the steezy scale....Have you learned Smartstyle SallyAnt??
  5. I am..I'm like my third favorite Bob Dylan song,"Tangled Up In Blue"..I'm lost without Blue...What I like about Blue you really know how to dance when you go up down Come around think about true romance. Blue is like FedEx..It Delivers..and this thread is like Roots favorite store at the mall..A Hot Topic!!!
  6. Sure they read them. I'm on a first name basis with the owner Barb Green and mountain manager and former reality tv star Jim Daly.
  7. Main Street is divided into upper Main Street and lower Main Street along with Barneys bumps. Here's a good combination..ski skytop then skate up to tuts lane..take connector to the woods next to Main Street I think sleepy hollow to X-ing which is a black diamond across upper Main Street over to switchback then through the woods to lazy mile across lazy mile into the woods to the lower marquee route down across crossover to challenge then before the falls hang a left onto lower sidewinder across to Central Park and into lower park...
  8. Ski Camelback during the day leave early enough to get the lunch price at Chinese buffet..write report..go to Star Wars at night buy $8.50 medium popcorn and $6 Dr. Pepper..and clap after every preview!!!
  9. I never even went day skiing at Blue mountain until midway through my third season at Blue as all my trips up there were with ski club. I did Day ski my very first time skiing which was at big Boulder and during my second season skiing went to rocking horse ranch with family up near new paltz NY and they had a small ski hill with a rope tow that I hit up while my parents and sister were riding horses. The next season after that was my first big mountain skiing at Windham NY I studied that trail map more than Enjorales practices with his trivia team funny but absolutely positively true..
  10. Heck they'll be open next week just like everywhere else from North Carolina to the North Pole...wahahahah
  11. Often when night skiing the black diamonds have some of the best conditions because they get the least amount of traffic as most of the school kids are on lazy mile, paradise and the park. On a typical session I try to ski every Main run once and then return back to the ones that are the best. I've had times at Blue where razors edge was so good that I just skied that the entire time same with switchback.
  12. Blue will be open for night skiing Saturday night. No idea other days but I believe the early season limited schedule will break with the cold air. Its 53 and raining moderately now..foggy as well..I'm also feeling farty.
  13. Night skiing on the weekends can mean some craptastic conditions. If given the choice I'll always go first thing when I'm fresh but on work days no choice but to make night moves. You should start a roll call thread to see if anybody else is at Blue Saturday night.
  14. Why night skiing? Do you have work Saturday?
  15. One thing is for sure they'll have plenty of water in their snowmaking ponds.
  16. Seriously and Blue never gives out cocoa and sugar cookies only fine meats and cheeses and November skiing.
  17. They aren't gonna skip over upper Main don't worry because if they get upper Main open then they actually can up the trail count by two adding Barneys bumps as well.
  18. no idea give them a call. I don't even know if they make mantras anymore. Mine are like a 7 year old model that Atomic Jeff had first and then sold to me.
  19. Thanks that's the nicest thing anybody has called me in a long time. I'm gonna save at least $2,000 a year in federal taxes with Trumps new tax plan..rack it!!
  20. I hope to get on them this weekend.
  21. Most of the PASRs have fat skis for out west. I had Nordica blowers for about five years and have had my shiros for almost four years. I ski them about half the time at Blue. The only thing they don't excel at is when it's firm cord. Last year in Jackson hole there wasn't much new snow and I was on my mantras out there a lot.
  22. I haven't been on any skis under 88 underfoot in the last decade.
  23. I straight run on my 193 length 119 underfoot shiros and they're great and when it's crowded can make lots of little doodly turns. Wider stance is key I notice a lot of older skiers have a very narrow stance
  24. Trust me I've been watching snow melt for years. Fog eats snow and when it doesn't get near freezing at night the snow actually melts from the bottom as well due to the warm ground...trust me by tomorrow afternoon vista will be nearly bare as well as homestretch. Lower Main Street will be ok. Then the snowmakers will have their work cut out.
