toast21602 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 Gorgeous morning here at Blue, but super cold 6° with light winds. The sun is popping up, which helps, but it is still cold. They did blow some snow on Sidewinder but will need much more work, especially after two days of rain. I’m in the lodge now warming up before heading back out. Everything is pretty decent today but there are two standouts. Lazy and Razors. Lazy is the worst conditions I have ever seen it. It’s like they tilled it but forgot to put the mats down to actually smooth it out. Huge cookies all over is. Some like golf balls and some the size of my helmet. A fucking disaster. Razors is a goddamn slice of heaven. They blew an inch or so if pixie dust after grooming and it skied like a dream. It’s that perfect 5° blown snow that is grippy but soft at the same time. When I go back out I’ll spend the rest of my morning there. Took a few pictures but it’s cold and I didn’t want to keep doing that. Really wanted to get one on Lazy but I feared for my life and there is no way I’m going back there. Ski ya later. 9 Quote

RootDKJ Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 Razors was near perfect yesterday. I'd be on that all morning too if I was up today. Enjoy that. 1 Quote

Yeah me too, but considering the winds were straight outta the north, they could have been blowing with the lower guns, but still... Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 It was super windy but maybe a cash flow type move. You blew alot of dollars on the hill this week and saturday was good but empty Sunday, Monday. Cold air will be around later so spread that cost around more days to even out the flow. Plus peeps are happy because like 5 actual trails opened up so nobody is seriously complaining. 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 The six pack is open. I’m happy about that. Quote
Schif Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 I'll be happy as long as no trails close between now and Thursday, then hopefully they get a chance to blow a lot of snow before the weekend. Quote
Deleted Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 I hear about northern resorts getting power curtailments - Sugarbush's owner has said they missed cold weather a couple times this year from that. Maybe that's why they missed most of this window.Sent from my Life Max using Tapatalk Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Evening edition..mind still blown... Hey All, I’m back from a fun night session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at around 615pm and in the house were Atomic Jeff, Johnny Law and NMSki. Temperatures were in the low 20s and crowds and wind were light to moderate. Some people mainly aggro beginners who were determined to show everybody that they were the best skiers on the mountain. Challenge had decent snow..was smooth..Main Street was similar and very forgiving, Paradise was tits mcgee, nightmare to dreamweaver was rough with a crevasse in the one corner and switchback was bulletproof I did my best power skids on there Robert2 would have loved it..ice is nice speed is good..dress like an astronaut. In total skied Main Street 4 times, Paradise 3 tines, challenge 3 tines, NMDW once and Swizzle Bizzle once. Then spend an hour+ in the P-lot enjoying some beer..was one of the better night sessions of the season and Blue is in full mid winter mode. The cannons are once again fired up on Sidewinder after some frozen pipe issues..I should be back Thursday night..anybody else??! 4 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Maybe interested in a Thursday night session after the rain. Maybe the next night I can get out. Quote

Let’s hope they’re open Thursday night. I try to do a little foreshadowing and I can see them closing early tomorrow due to the rain even though the rain will likely end before evening. Temperatures will come crashing down...let’s hope Thursday Friday and Friday nights they refresh fresh a freaky fresh the snow. I guess it’s too early for a weekend roll call. Quote

What's the official rule for role call threads? Is 48 hours before first chair on Saturday morning the standard? Edited January 23, 2019 by saltyant Quote
