Busy there today??? Ground was cold this morning.

Hey all, I'm back from a fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I left Allentown at 630am and it was a snow and sleet mixture which quickly changed to all sleet as I headed north. I had a sausage with egg mcmuffin and hash from and apple juice at McDonalds then drove the rest of the way averaging like 30-35mph. Not a bad drive. Atomic Jeff and JLaw were in the lot to start and it was about 20 degrees out. First run was sweet with about 2" of new snow. Unfortunately my pass didn't scan and they took my name and it worked later in the session. First three top to bottoms on Main Street were great with swaths of untracked on the upper session. I sampled lazy 1.6 kilometers and it wasn't bad for opening day. Not as soft as Main Street but pretty smooth. Matt edge joined us for some runs and we also saw MBike Mike, Indiggio, slim, Tarponhead, the race team, Keith and many others. Everybody was having fun despite sleet falling and conditions were pretty good. I even found some pow pow stashes on come around later in the morning. Snowmaking continued on chute, Widowmaker, falls, homestretch and I believe paradise. I spent as long in the lot as skiing and saw the Dude4Bides and Root and had some beers with others including some dirt wolf and Flying fish. Drive home roads are decent and just above freezing in the valley. I plan on skiing tomorrow morning could be wet but conditions should be decent. What a nice start to the season.

Down there on TP definitely freezing rain. Matt edge just text me he's on his way. Quiet in the lot.

Sleet storm.

Skiing through ice tunnels in France wooohttp://www.tetongravity.com/video/ski/skiing-through-ice-tunnels-in-france

Looking like a solid 2-3" of snow by daybreak depending on the amount of Virga then another inch or two in the morning before the changeover to sleet and freezing rain and rain. Snow is forecast to begin falling around 1am.

It's going to be a now casting event.

Only 42mph that's pretty fast for Main Street. When we did radar gun day in razors years ago atomic Jeff hit 74mph and I hit 64mph...so I doubt we are usually much above 45-50 on Main Street. Stable longer skis rock. Hopefully new snow for tomorrow morning.

Before last season. The fraggels will emerge later this season.

I didn't read that far into the report

Still top lot tomorrow unless anything changes. I'm ready for some lazy mile and fresh wet powder

Nice report!!! Way to get after it!!! Were you on your new skis??

I call that pocket meat. Comes in handy in the slack country wahahahahaha

Nah I keep getting texts from chicks I showed my sausage to. Was told to behave lol

I'm gonna go JO now..woooooo

My suppliers are good to me. Saving my Dirt wolf for the weekend

Way to get after it!!! I'm not there. Still basking in yesterday's afterglow and stoked for skiing this weekend!!! Have fun and post a report!!

I'm looking forward to a nice upside snowfall. Stay on the trail although the potential for 4" of snow on the mountain could mean 20-30" on Widowmaker there isn't any base..

Right on I swear half the times I go out they have to change a keg usually Miller lite lol funny but true

Wow the every time a new keg is tapped makes it worth it just there.

Most bars to get a mug you have to drink all the draft and bottled beers. I've never attempted cause you have to drink bullshit beers like bud light and Framboise. Doing a cost benefit analysis the mug club pays off in 15-20 beers.

When I drove by the Lehigh Township elementary school the flag was at half mast. Anybody know why? The only thing I could think of is that Alab Thicke died the day before.

Hey All, It's almost the first weekend of Blue mountains ski season. Anybody gonna be up there? I'll definitely be up Saturday morning for the fresh snow. I'm hoping it's not to rainy on Sunday and plan on going up there unless it's moderate rainfall or Blue is closed. According to mountain operations manager Jim Daly on the webcam Lazy Mile will be open for Saturday with the valley open for Sunday...think snow!!!!
