GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 Hey all, I'm back from a fun session at blue mountain I arrived at the lower lot at 7:25am. The temperature was in the upper 20s under overcast sky's with a few flakes flying. First civilian six pack again and in the house were JLAW, Ryan, JFBB Dan, TP4, VTMark, Toast, Indiggio, BMTroublemaker, concussion Ted, GahSkier George, Tarponhead and many others. Got two runs on razors to start and they were sweet. Nightmare dreamweaver was good initially but got a little rowdy. The same with switchback which became boilerplate although they didn't really blow on switchback this week. Lazy mile had nice snow but a little slow. Paradise had hero snow and concussion Ted telling me to slow down. Crowds were moderate. Really not terrible for first week in March. Was the last winterlike day for awhile..I think a lot of people were using vouchers today. Also free skiing today for weekday passholders and midweek tubing passes honered today. That's good goodwill for blue mountain the true mountain. We 99% cloudy until I wad in the parking lot. Never got above 40 degrees when I was skiing. Supposed to hit 71 degrees in Allentown Wednesday with a low of around 50 so snow will melt fast so get out as much as you can. This week I should at least be put Wednesday and Thursday. Prob another day as well. Quote
momskeeztoo Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 Rode up with couple of people from ski patrol. They said after this week, probably close during the week, maybe only open a couple more weekends. Tuesday looks ok. Thursday showers and 71 degrees. Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Posted March 6, 2016 Wasn't quite sunny enough for a full pair of sunglasses. 3 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 Main Street pretty nice. Nightmare to Dreamweaver. Paradise. Wished I could have stayed longer. Have some family stuff. Quote
Johnny Law Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 today was good, yesterday was better. Weekends only are ok but night skiing is almost always better at blue....way way way less people Quote
poconoceancity Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Based on today do you think they will make it to the 17th? Quote
tarponhead Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Based on today do you think they will make it to the 17th? I'd say there is a better chance they are open 19th/20th and mid week (e.g., 17th) they are closed to preserve the snow Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Posted March 7, 2016 They already announced a lift ticket special for the 17th. Doubt they close midweek till the following week before Easter. 1 Quote
Justo8484 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 The drive up and back today was rough, but I'm glad we made it. Conditions were actually decent and the bumps got to be pretty fun when things softened up after 12 or so. Today was 6 in a row for me, running on a few hours of sleep from a red eye back from Tahoe. Gotta get it while ski season is still here! 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Posted March 7, 2016 Blue should be making snow right now, but they are not Would be a waste of money. You see the midweek forecast. Quote
momskeeztoo Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Website says Valley Lodge is closed. Meaning you can't get in the building, or the cafeteria, rental, bar etc not open? I don't care if nothing is open except the building and the bathroom. I'm not as hardcore as most of you guys- I boot up inside. Quote

momskeeztoo Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Yup. And not ashamed to admit it. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Posted March 7, 2016 Yup. And not ashamed to admit it. Do you boot up inside when it's warm out? Do you get w locker? The craziest is the people who boot up inside then walk back to their car to put bootbag and sneakers in their car then reverse the process when finished. Has me shaking my Herman. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Posted March 7, 2016 After seeing the forecast...... I'm going right after work Wednesday to enjoy the warm skiing. This weekend should be ok as well. Quote
VTmark Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 After seeing the forecast...... it's a sad sad day Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Posted March 7, 2016 Anybody at blue today?? By the webcam the snow looks slow...looked like perfect cord this morning though. Quote
Johnny Law Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Anybody at blue today?? By the webcam the snow looks slow...looked like perfect cord this morning though. I think I'll be up tonight Quote
