Hey All,

 

I’m back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the  lower lot fueled by McDonald’s sausage biscuit hash brown and apple juice and they almost forgot to give it to me..temperatures were mid to upper 20s and in the house were Atomic Jeff, TP4, Johnny law, JFBBDan, Toast, Indiggio, Nastar Glenn, Fritz, Tele Matt and many more. 

 

First civilan six pack per usual and most went for Razors I did challenge to start which wasn’t that good but apparently better than Razors. Home stretch and falls were nice. Main Street was the run of the day it was grate..they also seeded the bumps on Main Street. I skied main all but one run which was a very nice empty run on paradise.  No liftlines while I skied and really only last two runs on main street had other people. Had a few beers in the 40 degree sunshine even when I left well past 11 no liftlines..

 

ill be back tomorrow same time same place anybody else??

nice sky and can  label, way to get after it! I may play hookey for a bit tomorrow and do a few am runs before work

This morning was pretty stellar and the grooming on the the trails that aren't newly opened has been superb. Main Street was a gem. 

[AtomicSkier]

those first couple runs down mainstreet were boner doner tits mcgee....better than a lot of western groomers...maybe even hunter!

Wow!  Was so excited to see from the lower parking lot that Blue had seeded bumps on Main Street, but that excitement was short-lived after seeing them up close and personal.  

The operative word is “seed”, as moguls will grow on their own.  They don’t need to be dug in!

For some reason the bumps are at least twice as wide as they need to be meaning that all of Barney’s is WAY too wide, stretching halfway across Main Street.  All of Barney’s 5 lanes could be cut in half.

Like @Johnny Law said in the lot: A For effort, D for execution.  The groomer that set them needs just a bit of insight on how to seed bumps.

Excitement from the valley lot!

Uh oh!

Yikes!!

Cliff jumping anyone?

Yuge!!

Just got back a little while ago. Had a great day with my kids and a couple of their friends. Spent most of the day looping Main Street and Paradise. Did one run down lazy and it was meh. Surprised to find no crowds at all until around noon. Ready for a few more runs to be opened up.

Was back to work for me today. Gonna swing out for a night sesh later on.

Today was awesome, main st was le tits. Throttle down effortless arcs. 

Good to see them working on bumps, like most things it will take some time.

  Facebook comments should be interesting.

Awesome to see them trying to get bumps for the bumpers. Be patient young grasshoppers.

No liftlines at all on the webcams.

Nice night. Not to crowded, comfortable temps. Razors is a bit choppy with cookies but it's open so all good. Challenge is light years better... Slick in the middle but right hand side is nice. The sweet smell of the waffle haus is permeating the valley keeping the stoke high. Great night sesh thus far.

They just closed the quad. Slight line at the six pack now.

I guess if you are going to learn how to seed them you gotta start somewhere......I usually say experience is the best teacher,but you do  need someone to show you the way at the beginning..

Hopefully they only get better as time goes on....

Nice Razors and Challenge open! Neither were when I was there Friday. I’m a little out of sorts, got the short end of the stick at work. So worked A LOT the past week. Including weekend, Christmas Eve and Christmas. Hubby said I need to go skiing tomorrow. Think he may be trying to get rid of me. 😂.

I saw someone filming right as we were walking off and I also saw a News 10 truck leaving the lot.

They were also grooming NM/DW all day, so that will be opening soon as well.

Yeah, nobody was anticipating perfection at all, with a new groomer(s) making them with little/no prior experience.

Hopefully they'll be open to suggestions on how to improve them.
