They must have some sort of snow stockpile. 53 and raining

I guess this is a bad time to ask how Floyd’s is.

Hey All, It’s almost another weekend. Is anybody planning on skiing or riding Blue mountain the true mountain this weekend? Saturday for me is a definite for me, I want to get at least two runs from the new lift and be there at 9:45 for opening remarks and the ribbon cutting. I’ll prob ski MLK morning especially with the 8am start time Monday and tomorrow Blue opens at 8am I hope the lifties know lol. Blue is lucking out with some nice weather this weekend and some nice overnight snowmaking..I think they want to get coming soon reopened and nightmare dreamweaver still has some mini whales.

Yeah I’m actually thinking about taking a spring skifari to Vermont and maybe hit somewhere in the Catskills on the way back. I used to mainly hit Catskills places early and late season when Blue wasn’t open yet. When I was in 8th grade my dad and I were originally going to go to Hunter but ended up going to Windham because it was supposed to be less silly. I skied two days at Windham that season. I also skied the rope tow hill at rocking horse ranch when I was in 7th grade while my family was riding horses. It was radical and the bindings were the old school safety strap ones and I needed assistance. Not the modern step in bindings like at blue. Back then Blue had Elan and Rossi skis. I still remember the rooster logo..that’s good marketing.

I believe blue mountain is mostly rock…

I agree with this.

Blue is opening at 8am tomorrow. FYI

Momskeeztoo we’ll ski a few runs with you if we see you on the slopes. The difference between a fast skier and a slow skier on a run is like 30 seconds for a run. Heck I was a solid 5-6 seconds behind atomic Jeff today and he still waited for me. -

I believe just a wax is about $25 or so. If they’re not busy turnaround could be enough time for you to get a vanilla latte. If it’s busy maybe an hour. I need a full tune..wax..sharpen and base grind before Jackson hole. 90% of the time I ski at Blue wax is irrelevant but today it would have made a difference on the flats. On razors and Main Street plenty of speed I wish a bit more hill sometimes lol -

Slow snow for me earlier on tuts lane but new man made is slow and my skis are drier than Toasts vagina. -

Ridge sugar and ice is normal night skiing conditions. The first day back from a ski trip is always a sad slap of reality but you’ll snap out of it this weekend when you’re riding the new six pack. -

That’s how you get the most runs per hour. -
Did you have lunch there or hit up a brewery after skiing?

This is ultra relaxing to watch. -
Yeah like if all three lifts are stopped at once. I will give Blue props..it’s extremely rare for them to close lifts due to wind while more northern and western resorts it can be an issue. They have had icing issues before.

Upper main could have been in a brochure picture. Barney’s bumps had the best and longest lasting cord on the mountain with the exception of some of the Western territory off the OG west summit like Upper Widowmaker, upper come around… While taking connector one of @saltyantfavorite runs, I saw a rare sight, two skiers dancing down upper upper main street. My guess is they took the vista chair unless they hiked in off the Appalachian trail after a night of boondocking in a short bus. The amount of people out earlier seemed bad but it was mainly just cause the quad was the only lift running. It was a very social vibe..singles and doubles were doing a really good job naturally pairing up. On 22 this morning there was a bad accident on 15th street and all red on the maps..so I took 309 to walbert and I knew walbert would be backed up to springhouse so dipped one block over to winchester and 4 cars at the light at cedar crest by Applebys vs 50 cars on walbert then cruises past my work saw that delivery guy was doing his thing cruised by Whitehall high school..took 50 minutes, the length of a psychologists appointment. -
Do you think the beverage truck will accept Blue bucks? I think I have $50 of them somewhere in the cloud.
