saltyant Posted December 23, 2018 Report Posted December 23, 2018 Hey all; just concluded another fun session at Blue Mountain, the truest of mountains. Representing PASR were Atomic, Toast, Johnny Law, NMSki, M-Bike-Ski, Matt Edge, Philly Core, and many, many, many others. Pulled into the Upper Lot at 0744 hours and not many cars were parked there which was surprising. Made it to rope drop with 7 minutes to spare so I sat on the lounge chairs to save my leg strength. First run down Midway was mad steezy. First run down Main Street was mad steezy. Both runs had wall to wall corduroy which was fun to ski. Then Lazy Mile was also quite steezy. Paradise sucked hardcore and was barely skiable. By far the most horrendous run of the day. Burma was OK. Falls was rad. The highlight of the day was when the PASRs appeared out of nowhere and Atomic made an attempt to steal my ski poles on Homestretch, and he allegedly crashed in that attempt though I didnt actually witness it. This is all hearsay from Atomic. Maybe next time he will snatch my ski poles on Homestretch but today wasnt that day. I'll be extra cognizant of my surroundings on Home Stretch from now on and watch for potential pirates. Called it quits around 1016 and had cold frozen coffee in my car. Overall a decent day, JADIP, Ice is Nice, Dress like a Cosmonaut. 4 Quote
RootDKJ Posted December 23, 2018 Report Posted December 23, 2018 How much “leg strength” could you possibly use standing by the rope at 753am? Also we park at the bottom lot now that the 6-pack is open. You should too. 4 1 Quote

I'm more of a Top Lot kind of guy, as the lodge is a lot nicer and there aren't any deep craters in the parking lot. But I still visited the lower lot when it was 900 hours and knew to look for Atomic's bright orange pants from the lift. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 23, 2018 Report Posted December 23, 2018 You parked in the upper lot?? Quote

That's one extra run on fresh cord compared to having to ride the lift first from the lower lot. 1 Quote

Be sure to update your stats. Quote

Be sure to update your stats. I rode the lift with Johnny Law, NMSki, Toast, Atomic and Matt Edge. That's the order from left to right and I was between Johnny Law and NMSki. But no, I didnt ski with anyone other than on Homestretch when Atomic snuck up on me and tried to pirate my ski poles, and ended up crashing. The video footage must be saved on their webcam archives.

toast21602 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Posted December 23, 2018 Today’s conditions were absolute garbage for the most part, but it’s always good skiing with you all. 5 1 Quote

Chute was great, very smooth and just how I like it. Even Midway was nice. But Paradise, Lazy Mile, and Tut's Lane were awful. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted December 23, 2018 Report Posted December 23, 2018 Best conditions of the day were on the Ironton Rail Trail. A smooth 13.11 with @toast21602 3 Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 23, 2018 Report Posted December 23, 2018 I think the ROTD was main street. That just means it was just a little bit better than anything else condition wise. Lower lot rocks, no matter how (bad) conditions are, the lot is always on point . so glad to be back down there. We really need some good snowmaking temps soon. The race team BS is out of control. Have we figured out what time opening is tomorrow? 2 Quote

At this one point yesterday there was atleast 3 dozen(!) of them all at the top of the 6 in the way. However, It was hilarious to watch my cousin get stuck in the middle of all of them, trie to waddle out of the pack and ultimately fall face first because of the little damn race kids. I was laughing in this case, but all too often they get in way and cause hassle. Are they always there both Saturdays and Sunday?? 2 Quote
