RootDKJ Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Date(s) Skied: 3/12/2009 Resort or Ski Area: Mountain Creek Conditions: Lunar. Actually a bit of everything. Sugar, hardpack, ice and some really weird ruts. Empty, perhaps a total of 25 cars in the lot. Trip Report: I got out of work later than I though I would, and forgot some of my ski gear at home, so I run home real quick before I picked up Hardline. We hit some traffic on th GSP which also delayed us. Got up to MC, and it was significantly colder then we expected. I looked at the display in my car and it was 38 degrees out on arrival and when we had departed it was a solid 30. We both decided a fleece under a shell would be in order, this turned out to be a good idea. I purchased my evening ticket in the bar...gotta love that. As we were getting ready in the lodge at South Peak, I was zipping up my jacket when the zipper literally disintegrated in my hand. It was pretty funny. Snow conditions were pretty good. We were able to get in 7 runs over on South Peak, and then we took a quick drive over to Vernon Peak for another 5 runs. Hardline was impressed by my ski boot driving skills, I told him I had the Blue Mountain Ski Patrol to thank for that I thought the conditions were better over on South, but I was glad that we took the ride over to Vernon, as it's been a long time since I was over there. We had a fun time and skied until they closed. I pretty much only took pics from the lift, so we could get more runs in. Mountain Creek has some really cool scenery at night. Pics are kinda dark, not much I'm gonna do about that. Quote

RootDKJ Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 wow some of those trails look pretty thin... Yeah, it's got some narrow parts, but it's pretty cool. I had forgotten that MC skis bigger due to the different areas. I'm still undecided on my plans for next season, but I'm looking forward to getting back to Blue on Saturday! Quote
