Great day at Blue today! A solid B+ I rolled in around 10am and skied right until 2pm. Some small nickle, dime and quarter chunks, but around 11:30 the sun had softened everything up really nicely. I skied pretty well today (no snow inspections) and was able to open it up speed wise a bit which was super fun. It actually started to get crowded around 1:30. On my last run, a snowlerblader not using retaining equipment yardsaled about 20 yards ahead of me and sent a snowlerblade into my leg. Lots of rental carnage and lift line confusion today.

 

Looks like last nights snowmaking last night was done into the valley, on Tuts, Lazy, Main Street and Midway.

nice pics! glad to see they were able to blow a crap ton of snow last nite....here's hoping that most of it makes it to the next cold spell.

How's it look down low? Any chance they get that open with some grooming? I know snowmaking chances are going to be limited...
