GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 22, 2018 Report Posted December 22, 2018 Hey All, I’m back from another fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot around 720AM and it was in the upper 30s under overcast sky’s with moderate winds. In the house were Root, Atomic Jeff, Toast, Phillycore, Slim, Indiggio, Tarponhead, Marty, GahSkier George, bethlehem Ford Kurt, PARidge, Justo, Ty, Johnny Law, Ryan, Antman, Hans and many more. Snow was soft and in my opinion pretty nice the first few runs..really only three main routes..Main Street, lazy to the falls and Paradise. SP3000 on Paradise... Skiing was fun and early on there were a few wet flakes near the peak. In the lot beers, soft pretzels and Xmas cookies were enjoyed...I picked up my new skis which were stolen and recovered on the way to point Phillips hotel...tomorrow I’m going to Virginia to see family. I’ll be back at Blue on Wednesday and I’m thinking it should be pretty rowdy..merry Christmas everybody especially to the uber drivers names Muhammad!!! 1 2 Quote

AtomicSkier Posted December 22, 2018 Report Posted December 22, 2018 It disappoints me to hear that there still is a perceived animosity between the PASR community and the Blue Mountain Ski Patrol. After an interaction with a BMSP member today, it's evident that they still feel malevolence towards our community. To them I say: put the distant past behind you. We have. We're all skiers. We slide down a mountain on frozen water with pieces of wood and plastic on our feet. There is no time or place for ill will. I know I am well known in the BMSP circles. I encourage those circles to open up and say "Hello". Ride the lift with us. Stop by our tailgates. We're not complete assholes, we're just insanely passionate about skiing. On a better note...GSS's new skis are freakin beautiful. Johnny Law fucked them a few times before I stole them and drove off. 5 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted December 22, 2018 Report Posted December 22, 2018 They were extra whistle happy today which conjured up memories of the days of yore. Apparently action shots were taken.Today was good. The first few runs were really good then things got choppy right quick. Limited terrain + warm weather + race team = a bumpy ride....Quick maths.Still a lot of fun with y'all. Phillycore and myself even did a Tour de Blu. 2 Quote

Most people here dont mind bumpy but I really dislike those conditions. I figured the snow would be bad after the warm temps and rain, maybe I'll go tomorrow morning. 1 Quote

I won’t be there but you can enjoy first tracks Edited December 22, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote
Johnny Law Posted December 22, 2018 Report Posted December 22, 2018 Today was excellent pre Christmas turns, beer was flowing, new skis to molest and life is good. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 23, 2018 Author Report Posted December 23, 2018 Gotta give props to the snowmakers..they’ve really had a limited amount of days to make snow this season..by focusing on key runs they’ve been able to withstand all these rain and warm events. Bear creek is closed right now and looks like some snowmaking midweek but mainly night time. Quote

poconoceancity Posted December 23, 2018 Report Posted December 23, 2018 Blue has really stepped up their game the last few seasons with opening early and closing late. My crew is almost ready to convert. 2 Quote
