RidgeRacer Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 Good snow. Crowds dissipating. Fun day. 2 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Posted January 16, 2017 thought it would be packedIt was earlier. People are leaving now thankfully. Last 2 lift rides were solo. Quote
tarponhead Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 Back lots never got any cars but still good # of folks. Bumps were incredible today. Sidewinder was ROTD for me Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Posted January 16, 2017 Haven't skied sidewinder yet. Will do now. Too busy drooling over NMDW 1 Quote
zzslope Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Got first chair at Blue this morning. Very low attendance at the start, no line at six for the first 5 runs. The trails from paradise over to lazy were all nice, rotd was upper switchback as it had no features except the wall, so it was like a giant swichback, which worked out well as switchback was hard and icy in the a.m. Razors got a little cookied up on the headwall. Crowd was building by 9 a.m. Tubing was doing well. Last run on paradise at 10:30 was crowded, making for a living slalom course. Fun morning. Edited January 16, 2017 by zzslope 3 Quote

My legs were cooked from bumping all day but still finished the day with a few more runs on sidewinder even though it got considerably more scraped off than earlier. Pretty much empty so I could do GS from side to side Quote

Pretty much empty so I could do GS from side to side It's funny I didn't even think to go to Sidewinder until I saw your post on the lift. I always just avoid it assuming that it's covered in terrain park features. It definitely was ROTD. So rare to ski it as a straight trail. 1 Quote
indiggio Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 What a difference a day makes! First run on Razor's on Sat was a sheet of ice, this morning it was covered in a glorious layer of fresh, chalky man-made. They blew on every trail which made conditions probably the best they've been so far this year. They blew a ton in the bumps which made them the run of the day for me anyway. Lowe Main Street was awash in marbles the entire day. Saw the aftermath of a crunch on the way up... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
