GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Hey all, It's almost another weekend. Who's gonna be up at Blue mountain?? I'm planning on skiing tomorrow afternoon, Saturday morning and Sunday morning. Was gonna go today after work but freaking tired and not feeling it. Ski everyone this weekend lets hope the rain ends before Saturday's opening. Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 So it appears as if they are building a swanky hotel.....nice edge will have a place close by to take milfs after seducing them with his grinding. Oh yeah I'll be there this weekend.... 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Posted January 14, 2016 Swanky hotel??? Where?? Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Posted January 14, 2016 ill be there sunday morning. i was thinking about going up saturday night after work, but getting home at 1215 from blue just to leave my house at like 5 the next morning to go to blue seems a little rediculous, however it isnt out of the quesiton. this will be the first time me and mark actually have to be on our shit this season as far as leaving on time to get to blue by 745 at the latest. You can do it...will be the first time I get to ski with TP4 this season and second time with VTMark. Maybe atomic Jeff will wait for you boys to strap in. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Might get out tomorrow afternoon and then Sat/Sun. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Might get out tomorrow afternoon and then Sat/Sun. Same. Quote
larrytbull Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Sat and sunday morn for me. Monday at shawnee. For a change of pace Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Posted January 15, 2016 30 trails at blue for the weekend. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Where is Widowmaker? I used that term in my TR, but not in reference to the trail? New trail? Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Posted January 15, 2016 Where is Widowmaker? I used that term in my TR, but not in reference to the trail? New trail? Widowmaker is what used to be raceway. Between easy out and come around. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Widowmaker is what used to be raceway. Between easy out and come around. What's the deal with the new trail over past paradise? Spicy? another greenie to ease traffic on Paradise? Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Don't know if it was called Raceway for a while, but it was called Widow Maker all the way back in Little Gap days. Going to ski Sunday and might do Blue, though without VIP access I am a bit reluctant to brave the holiday weekend crowds there. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Posted January 15, 2016 What's the deal with the new trail over past paradise? Spicy? another greenie to ease traffic on Paradise? It's not ready yet. No idea what the rating will be probably a blue. Blues ratings are wack anyway. Paradise is steeper and faster than lazy and is a green and the chute is more challenging than nightmare which is a double black. Don't know if it was called Raceway for a while, but it was called Widow Maker all the way back in Little Gap days. Going to ski Sunday and might do Blue, though without VIP access I am a bit reluctant to brave the holiday weekend crowds there. If you can get there for opening shouldn't be too bad but anytime later and will be crowded. Sunday will also be more crowded than Saturday due to the weather. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah, the ratings are cute, I hadn't looked at a trail map in years, so I just checked it out. They should leave some trees up on the new trail for some wannabe glade skiing and make it all gnarly with a gate and a skull and crossbones. Triple diamond it!! Quote

Doesn't smugglers notch have a triple diamond. Jackson hole doesn't even have that. Quote

phillycore Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 I was discussing the upcoming trail above paradise last night in the lot. The 4 of us all agreed that it appeared to be pretty steep and see us all coming in hot to Paradise...right at that point is where ski patrol will be waiting. Quote

phillycore Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 They could just change paradise to a blue non slow skiing trail and make everyone happy Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) They don't actually fine for fast skiing do they? Edited January 15, 2016 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote

The 4 of us all agreed that it appeared to be pretty steep and see us all coming in hot to Paradise...right at that point is where ski patrol will be waiting. Same thought about final drop into paradise. They will have to put up a gate/net thingy otherwise people will come in pretty hot. Also, got legit trees skiers right for the storm-of-the-century Lotsa newbs today. Watch your backs! 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Had to explain to the kids last weekend that the green trails are actually the most dangerous on the mountain due to the large number of out of control fools on them. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Posted January 15, 2016 They don't actually fine for fast skiing do they? No but you might get put in the database. If you just get in a turkey tuck with poles pointed to the sky ski patrol will leave you alone regardless of speed. Had to explain to the kids last weekend that the green trails are actually the most dangerous on the mountain due to the large number of out of control fools on them. Blues usually have the most deaths cause low level skiers can attain high rates of speed in a hurry. True double diamond terrain isn't always that dangerous as well as tight woods as you are picking your way down turn by turn vs flying. Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) In this case there were a lot of out of control fools on the green open at Shawnee last weekend, especially boarders, while the blues had folks who knew how to do things like turn and stop.
