GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 2, 2017 Report Posted April 2, 2017 Hey all, I'm back from closing day. Arrived at the lower lot at 720am and it was 34 degrees and sunny. In the house was pretty much everybody. Early on the snow was really solid but it got Softer as time went on. I never got to poach challenge which is dissapointing but I'm also glad that I'm not in the database. The best runs were razors, lazy mile and sidewinder. Mid morning went to the lot had some beer then returned to the slopes for a few razors runs which were great fast corn..Enjorales cooked steak and sausage and Mrs Snowbunski spanakopita was next level elite status. The temperature rose into the 50s and I went and watched a little bit of the pond skimming and I think I saw Enjorales wipe out. Was a fun fun day And season. I'll post some pictures later 1 Quote

RootDKJ Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Spectacular closing day. Got yelled st by ski patrol on my last run. They "closed" Lazy to Falls, And tried to direct me down lower Lazy. I wanted to lip off Falls though so I skied around them and they seemed quite angry about it. JADIP 6 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Rode up the the lift once with GSS. He didn't seem very happy. I hope you guys weren't mean to him. Maybe it was just the sadness of last day of the season at Blue. Can't believe the season is over, but all in all was good. Quote
RootDKJ Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Forgot to mention, rode the lift with Ali... that's a trip 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Did anyone else notice the crane? Looks like they're getting ready to build something. 2 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Looks like it was by the top lodge / Slopeside. I didn't ski over that way. Noticed it from the bottom. 1 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Yes, I noticed it too. Never saw it before. From the bottom almost looks like it's across the street from Blue, on the AT. Quote

Wasn't sad today..those 10:00am runs on razors were best of the day. That's why I stopped smoking years ago. Think it got too strong for me. Not the same sweet smelling stuff it used to be. Quote
enjoralas Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Crane was/is right by where the paragliders usually launch from. Someone told Pops and I that they were told by a Blue employee that the were filming a scene for the Kevin Hart/Bryan Cranston/Nicole Kidman movie that has been filming down in Philadelphia. It did look like some sort of lighting rigging or something was hanging from the crane when we left the upper lot around 3:15, we had to stop up so dad could pick up his mug from the Last Run Lounge.

momskeeztoo Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Didn't the paragliders launch from the the top of Challenge? Quote
Shadows Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Idk but the power guys had a bad ass crane with a bucket on it doing line work last week or so. Like a 200ft lift Quote
enjoralas Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Didn't the paragliders launch from the the top of Challenge? I don't know if they do sometimes or have before, but last spring and the year before I saw them going from the edge of the upper lot, right side as you are driving out on the outermost row. Grassy area behind some big rocks. Didn't really see any of them this year. Quote
toast21602 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Didn't the paragliders launch from the the top of Challenge? Not since they cleared that area for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Posted April 3, 2017 some crazy guy from roundtop was yelling to me on the main street lift that they were filming a kevin hart movie. i have no idea who he was or why he was telling me that Kevin hart is a short black guy who's a comedian. He's friends with Marco Andretti who's friends with Nazareth Jay and Atomic Jeff so only a few degrees of separation. Maybe we can get him to go tubing with us next season. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Posted April 3, 2017 A shame Matt Edge and VTMark couldn't make it. No Toast either thought he was coming at noon. See everybody in 8 months. Quote
JFskiDan Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 See everybody in 8 months. Have fun in Utah. Quote
