GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Hey All, I’m back from a fun session at Blue mountain. Today was like an other weekend session except I skied 3 hours later than normal. Bob the deadhead liftee said we must be in California lol. In the house were NMSki, Shadows, Atomic Jeff, Johnny Law, gahskier George, Slim and silver full face helmet guy. Arrived at the lower lot before 1045 and was on the snow by 11. Dense fog was present on the top 3/4 of the mountain the majority of the time. At first I was skiing a little slower as I couldn’t see the snow surface but as the runs progressed I got more confident skiing by Braille and put the hammer down. Lazy and paradise were skied the most..I also skied Switchback twice which had really nice snow and lower widowmaker to Main Street to lower Main Street. Temperaturs stayed around 40 and it was damp and the winds picked up. Snow was the hero variety..zero complaints about the snow was fast and soft and smooth due to lack of traffic. Was nice to have a break from the sugar before it returns this week. After skiing two hours hungout in the lot another hour and now at work logging in Saturday’s mail orders. Only picture I took was my breakfast sandwich from Sheetz. Fried egg, bacon, cheddar, tomato and pico on everything bagel. Not bad. I should be back at Blue on Tuesday night...JADIP!! 4 1 Quote
Shadows Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Decent day. Fog sucked. Would've ripped if it was clear. 1 Quote
Johnny Law Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Today besides the low vis was pretty great. Best part though was maybe the ladies from nj talking glamour shots in the parking lot. 3 2 Quote
Shadows Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 I don't know what to think about that. This is seriously a full generation of people? We're fucked. 1 2 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Posted February 25, 2019 Blue removed the ski racks outside the lower lot west side entrance by the restrooms. Off to Facebook to kick and scream. 2 Quote

I lock my poles maybe 50% of the time, and risk it the other 50%. So far no thefts, although I did get them from the Goodwill store and one is moderately bent. Quote

I bought skis and poles together for $15 at Goodwill near Bloomsburg. What a bargain! The skis had Geze bindings, for which information even online is scarce. I probably looked like a total gaper going down the green slopes wearing a bike helmet and jeans, falling every few yards while on my Geze skis. Edited February 25, 2019 by saltyant Quote

I was really hot from walking from the parking lot to the lift, and also from exerting a lot of effort skating due to the slow nature of the Perder. Edited February 25, 2019 by saltyant Quote
