zzslope Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 Just returned from a day @ blue. To say it was windy would be a gross understatement. On my first run, the wind blowing up challenge stopped me on the headwall with my skis aimed directly down the fall line. I headed over to the main street chair and found that side of the mountain to be less windy. Lazy, switchback, main, barney's, come around to chute, widow maker, vista to midway, all in good shape. Very little in the way of slick spots. The bumps on main & chute were quite good, I spent most of my day in them. The glade by main was crusty dangerous, so that was avoided, didn't try the glade by lazy. Very few customers on the hill, skied directly onto the main street chair every run. On the way up & on the way back, route 946 was hairy in spots due to drifts and short stretches of near white out conditions were the drifts were. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 Nice report how could you even move on homestretch? Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 TR: i rode yesterday Did you say hi to Matt Edge for me??? I don't think I'm gonna be at Blue till Saturday morning. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 tonight was really good. A little windy and cold, but with a down puffy Law and I were on the toasty side. Snow was freakin perfect though. Unlimited grip and reasonably fast. I give it 9/10. would've been 10/10 if no there was no wind. 1 Quote
thedude4bides Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 Bumps were stellar last night on Main Street. Nightmare bumps were just seeded and were not bad. Chute bumps were nice as well. As nice as the glades by lazy look, there are still sparks flying off the edges in certain spots. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 Was razors open to the public? Quote
toast21602 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 Was razors open to the public? is it ever???? I'm getting sick of that. 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 is it ever???? I'm getting sick of that. Gotta go weekday mornings or weekends after 1030am when I'm not skiing anymore. Anyway the last few weeks of the season there's no race team on razors. I do miss getting one or even two runs on razors early on weekends before race team got it. Those days are over. Quote
thedude4bides Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 It seemed like there were at most 7-10 people training a slalom setup last night. Some looked like they knew what they were doing, at least one looked like he had no business being in the gates. Sure enough he bit it. I don't think it was the kids team... Prob some sort of adult racing clinic that I should join so I can laugh at all you bastards who can't ski razors Quote

Johnny Law Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 Last night was great, Razor's is a narwhal, I know it exists but I never see it. I've been at blue 34 days and rode it twice. Whatever, they seem to keep challenge in better shape since razors is never open. Challenge this year has been great. Quote
thedude4bides Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 What highschools around here have race teams? That's pretty awesome. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 What highschools around here have race teams? That's pretty awesome. I know basking ridge in New Jersey used to train at blue... Quote
tarponhead Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 I know basking ridge in New Jersey used to train at blue... Basking Ridge got two things; plenty of MILFs and the $$$$ to attract the MILFs. HS ski team does not surprise me... Quote
