toast21602 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) This morning i woke up nice and early so i could head to Blue before my meetings for the afternoon. day 67 for me. pulled in around 8:22 and booted up ready for opening. the sun was already over the mountain so the snow was starting to soften up right from the start. there was still a good breeze to keep the temps down, but i decided to wear my Forman Mills jacket instead because my DNA jacket still smelled like smoke from the bar and it was making me sick. my first few runs were on lazy, switchback, and mainstreet/barney's bumps, where were amazingly good with that softer snow. the park was not the best today, pretty lame actually, but i'm over it. its the end of the year at Blue and it doesnt really seem like they are going to spend time on making things better if they are just going to close in a week. the jump line was good, but the jumps were kinda small. oh well. took a few runs over on Burma Road since i usually dont head over to that side of the mountain.. conditions over there were surprisingly good. i'm so pissed that Blue is closing in a few days, but it was still a good season for PA. they still have a shit-ton of snow and i know they could stay open for another week or so, but they arent going to get the business that will make it worth it. oh well. but seriously... look at the base that they have. not bad at all. thats about it for a report for Blue, i'll be going up tomorrow morning as well, maybe i'll take a few more pics, maybe not. it shouldnt be much different.

mbike-ski Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 nice report i feel like i'm there.... Quote
method9455 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 That does look like really good coverage, its too bad that all the resorts are closing based on business, I'm used to mountain creek closing when they have almost no snow left (mind you the same weekend, but they just don't have any snow left), I don't know how you guys bear it Quote

Justo8484 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 one minor detail... twas not a good season for PA. we got 10 inches of rain in february, and sidewinder never really got built up to what it was supposed to be, or even to the size it was last year. jump line flowed pretty well, but the size just wasnt there.

nick malozzi Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 x2 x3 i wish the resorts were staying open longer for you guys back home. sorry to hear it is almost that time again. Quote
Justo8484 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 along with more regular afternoon grooming.. amen. better grooming in general wouldnt hurt. Quote
toast21602 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Posted March 18, 2008 i'll be there as well. but only until about 10:30 because i have a meeting at 11:30. blah. at least i'll get two good hours of skiing in. i'll probably see you there because there are only 5 people that are skiing Blue on weekday mornings now.
