Started snowing at about 6:30am in Reading, I got to Blue around 8:10. GSS was already in the lot and JFDan followed shortly after. We ran into thedude after a bunch of laps too.

 

Snow was late to arrive at Blue but GSS nailed it with a third chair prediction. Groomers were perfect, soft, super fast. Snow started around 9 and orographic lift was really pumping, up top it was full on donkey kong.

 

I had to peace out a little after 10 because of a client meeting. Fuck but what can you do.

 

Should be tits mcgee later.....

Hey All,

 

I'm back from a fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I woke up at 610am about 3 hours after I fell asleep and sadly it was not snowing yet. Just a few hours after evacuating the dancefloor, I was headed to the best ski area within 15 minutes of Sheetz. I arrived in the lot a little before 8am and hardly anybody was there. JLAW and JFBBDan arrived a few minutes later and off we went for the fresh cord. Razors, Nightmare Dreamweaver, Main Street, Challenge and Switchback were all good nice soft cord but still fast. We managed 7 runs in the first 57 minutes for a nice start. TheDude4Bides was in the house and skied several runs with the PASRs. Around 1015AM me and JFDan had a beer in the lot then back on the snow by 1035AM

 

By this point the snow was pounding hard..low visibility and sticking to everything. Some goober who rode the lift with us asked if the snow would be real snow or wet crap...lol...wet snow is real snow and I found the new snow skied pretty well..if not for all the groomed turning to sugar the first hour or two before it started snowing it would have been even better. A little after 11am atomic Jeff arrived and we took a few cool runs including lower Widowmaker, the entire Widowmaker from the vista chair and powder on the very top of Main Street from vista lift since the Main Street and Burma chairs were not running. Then over to x- ing for some goodness. I skied a little bit of bumps..Barney's bumps are deep and firm..and the bumps on Dreamweaver are tiny and scratchy...with the warmth tomorrow it could get better.

 

I peaced out around 1245PM second longest blue session this season. Longest was MLK day with Matt Edge where we tailgated in both the bottom lot and the top lot...tomorrow looks to be packed powder to start quickly changing to spring snow..people are gonna ruin their skis if they go off trail...could be funny tomorrow seeing the junkshow at Blue. I anticipate moderate crowds this weekend and nice beer drinking weather!!!!

Didn't get up to the mountain until 2 because boss called and decided it was a good day to talk . Anyway the conditions were spectacular with probably a good 4" or so. Pow piles were everywhere to be had and the snow continued pumping.

 

Met up with Tarpon and we took a ride up the Vista chair to get in a run down the tow line. He got an early run in and by now it was pretty beat, but still fun.

 

Tried a run thru Lazy glade which was a mistake, as I took a good shot to one base. That was the end of going off trail as there's not enough coverage.

 

By 6 stomach was growling and we departed. Seemed like the snow was letting up as well.

 

Definitely some of the best conditions of the year.
