GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 Hey All, I'm back from another fun session at blue mountain the true mountain. The day after the annual PASR partee is always a little anticlimatic..and I sort of craved some more mimosas even though I was still a little hungover from yesterday. Arrived at the lower lot at 7:20am and it was 28 degrees under partly sunny skies. In the house were Atomic Jeff, JFDan, Indiggio, Justo, Rose, Terry, Fritz, MBike Mike and Mrs. Snowbunski. First civilian chair was easy to get and first run on challenge was super sweet packed powder so skied that a second time right away. Then nightmare to Dreamweaver was a carpet. Switchback was pretty good and upper Main Street was the run of the day. Around 9am the six pack had mechanical issues and was down for maybe an hour and the line for the quad got pretty long. Ran the quad a few times then took the Main Street chair which was a full corral on the Main Street side but barely any wait on the Burma side. Lazy was also pretty nice and I even skied the whole mile one time as I like the sharp left hander near the bottom. Crowds were moderate and just like yesterday lots of non season passholders taking advantage of 30% off maybe even 40% off depending on the forecast high. I surprisingly had plenty of leftover beer from yesterday but didn't have any and went to the BMDI with atomic Jeff..four plates of food and drinks was $16... The stretch of great conditions continues. I'll prob be back up Tuesday afternoon next. We have to do mimosas again next weekend. JADIP 1 Quote

momskeeztoo Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 Got here at 10. Out late last night. Skied til about 1pm. Super crowded now. Glad they are making money. I am hoping to come back Tuesday. 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 19, 2017 Author Report Posted March 19, 2017 Wow looks packed on the webcams and they are running the Burma lift now. MomSkeeze did the snow become springlike at all. Quote
toast21602 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 Heard the snow was good this morning. It must have been from the 3-6 that Doug called for overnight! It's beautiful outside now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 Did get soft and a little sticky , but not too bad when I left. There were still people coming in when I left. Quote

tarponhead Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 Best bumps of the year on razors today. Fun watching never-evers going in them and having fun. What it should. be about 2 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Arrived not too long ago. Snow is good. Nice early spring type of conditions. Just right. The normal night time piles and bumps have accumulated on NMDW. All good. It's pretty crowded. Riding the quad as I type this since the 6er has a fairly long line. 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Razors through razorback is downright impressive right now. Bump city from top to bottom. Edited March 20, 2017 by RidgeRacer 3 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Just sitting here pondering on the lift. How many other ski areas are open right this second (915 on a Sunday night)? My guess is not many. And here I am skiing nice conditions at Blue! #blessed. I'm actually going to look that up when I get home. 2 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Yeah, we are pretty lucky having Blue to ski. When I first started skiing, I hated Blue. Now that's the only place around here I really want to ski. Good vibe there, too. Loved seeing everyone tailgating today, having fun in the sunshine. Not sure anyone else allows that around here. 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) April 2nd is apparently the rumored closing date... Edited March 20, 2017 by RidgeRacer Quote
momskeeztoo Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Heard that too today. Glad I'm not working weekend they close Quote

So far the only other ski area on the east that I could find that was open when I posted the above is Wachusett in MA who also closes at 10 on Sunday. Some areas have shut down night operations completely. 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Elite. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Found another one. Rountop is open until 10pm on Sundays as well. Boo! Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Song Mountain in NY is open until midnight on Fridays. They call it "Friday night Freakout" LMAO Edited March 20, 2017 by RidgeRacer 2 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Brighton stays open until 9pm on their lighted trails. Stephen's Pass in Washington is open until 10pm tonight but this is their last night of night skiing. I'm done with this exercise. I need a life. Based on my thorough analysis in which margaritas have been involved, my theory that Blue Mountain in Little Gap (not Palmerton) PA is one of a very small number of ski resorts in America open until 10pm on a Sunday night stands...way to go Blue! #blessed #bluemymind #goodnight Edited March 20, 2017 by RidgeRacer Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Heard that too today. Glad I'm not working weekend they close Nice 14 more days of being open unless they close during the week next week. I still think they might do a bonus weekend the following weekend. I don't think I've ever skied blue on a Sunday night. Every other night yes. I remember doing a few double dip sessions on Saturdays Edited March 20, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote
indiggio Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 I don't think I've ever skied blue on a Sunday night. In college, that was about the only time we went. $18 tickets were cheap fun and they groomed a second time in the late afternoon/evening. Super Bowl Sunday was empty. 2 Quote
