Christmas Eve Eve

[RidgeRacer]

Glorious! Fantastic Western groomer like on main (upper and lower). Crowds haven't yet descended. Really noticable inversion... Almost spring like up top. Blowing at the bottom. Awesome morning

Nice.  Looks empty.  I'm planning on trying to make it there later tomorrow morning.

Looks good! But is there live karaoke in the lower lot?

[RidgeRacer]

Still not crazy crowded yet. Guns are still on down below. Paradise is nice. Main is still great (upper). Even did a Tour de Blu.

looks good, wish i made it out this morning.

not trying to derail your thread here, but do people think it's worth it to get out there christmas eve morning? i dont know what to expect in terms of crowds, conditions etc. just realized i'm off that day and i'm debating heading there in the morning before doing christmas shopping.

thanks.

No but@Mixilplix was in the lot so that was cool.

Excellent day. Definite post ski glow going on right now. Off to see Star Wars in a few.@saltyant did you see it yet??

Impressive to see them blowing.  its warm AF in Malvern.  Barring any unforeseen circumstances, i am planning on being there tomorrow morning.

Christmas Eve morning will be more than weekday crowds and less than weekend..I doubt any real liftlines. The crowds start up on the 26th...

Super happy fun morning at Blue....As Ridge said I was surprised to see them fire the guns up around 8:30ish....Did Paradise/Lazy/Main st with Indiggio to start then just did laps on Main st most of the time..pretty much empty for most of them....Lazy got sandy pretty quick....Weather was top notch and the crowds were not bad at all....9 to 11 session....Talked a bit with Ridge in the parking lot....The live karaoke we saw in the lot yesterday was like seeing Halley's Comet...once in a lifetime ....Pretty sure I saw the Pastel Prince rollin in the Bimmer as I was leaving...

Did somebody say Once in a lifetime?

To me that just says Challenge will be open before they close on 12/24.  But still, excited for its opening.  Means they are making progress.

i work with a bunch of idiots.  Still hoping to make tomorrow, but i work with a bunch of idiots.  

[Schif]

I'll be there tomorrow but it probably won't be for opening bell. 

[Johnny Law]

I got 2hrs in this afternoon, very spring like but the parts in the shade were pretty firm when I left. 

Main was more choppy then yesterday but good choppy. 

I'll be there opening tomorrow

A beautiful day! Warmed up fast. Skied from 9-12. Main Street snow was beautiful. Nice to have some new trails open. 

[PSUFrankenstein]

Looks like a great day yesterday.  Not gonna make it today unfortunately.  Wife had some sort of stomach bug and passed it on to me. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Blue has 23 runs open camelback 19 runs that’s my boy blue.  Have fun everybody who skis today.  My mom is talking about wanting to see Santa waterski on the river here in VA...great I just hope she doesn’t get runover by a reindeer.

Good luck man, if it’s the one that’s going around it’s a nasty one.

Yeah its pretty bad. My stomach isnt too bad right now but I can't eat anything and my whole body hurts. I was fine most of yesterday and then it just hit me on the way home from fishing last night. I just hope my daughter doesn't get it

People with kids get sick the most..it sucks..and people who don’t have kids like me still have to work with people with kids who show up at work sick..just be glad your grandma didn’t get runover by a reindeer like mine.  Was some weird wild stuff.  She was walking home from our house Xmas eve...it was years after I stopped believing in Santa but now me and grandma may she Rest In Peace believe.
