momskeeztoo Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 Heading out. Snow getting mashed potatoey. Biggest crowd I've seen here during the week, but no line at all. With all this rain coming, I wonder if they will shut down. ROTD Razors and Nighmare to Dreamweaver. Quote
enjoralas Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 Is rain forecast tonight? I haven't paid attention to the forecast but was planning on heading up after work Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 Rain forecast for Friday night, Sunday night and Monday and Blue will be able to withstand a couple weeks of these temperatures and rain before shutting down. Last year they had less base then they have now in March and made it through a week of 70s just fine. Enjoy the mashed potatoes. Quote

Yeah, not really looking forward to that but haven't been out since the 7th because I was in Orlando all last week. Itching to get out there. Quote

Itching to get out there. Mashed potatoes are good fun to ski...I would be out tonight but I'm meeting with my friend who I haven't seen in awhile. In mashed potatoes speed is your friend. 1 Quote
enjoralas Posted January 20, 2017 Report Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Was a good night. Made I think 5 runs, Lazy to lower sidewinder, then Nightmare to Dreamweaver. I ran Switchback while Pops ran Burma. Headed back up the Main Street lift and he called it, said Burma was all chopped up and burned out his legs. I ran down Widowmaker and couldn't believe the 6 inches of sweet powder when everything else on the mountain was mashed potatoes/sugar. Back up the Vista lift and I took a hot lap on Main Street and decided to call it a night, checking the speed on Lower Main had my legs ready to give in. Met dad at the Last Run Lounge where he was visiting his mug and had a quick vodka/cran before rolling out just bore 10. Good to get back at it. Skiing somewhere Saturday, either Blue for a few hours or first visit of the year to the Camel. Edited January 20, 2017 by enjoralas 2 Quote
