toast21602 Posted January 9, 2020 Report Posted January 9, 2020 Quick morning session with @theprogram4 @Shadows @mute1080 @momskeeztoo @zzslope in the house. Everything they blew on was great first thing for a few runs and then starting getting cookied. ParaWeaver was ROTD ave Main Street was a close 2nd. Big ole whales on nightmare and razors as well as lower park. Some great production before the tropical storm this weekend. Surprised to see how crowded it was for a Thursday morning. 6 Quote

C1erArt Posted January 9, 2020 Report Posted January 9, 2020 Took the wrong turn coming out of the development this morning, and wound up at the wrong mountain. Also liked Paradise and Dreamweaver, but Challenge was also real nice first thing in the morning. Hit Lazy Mile and Main Street a couple of times. Left about 11:30. These days I’m wearing a helmet with black front and green back, bright green gaiter, and my Leki poles. If you see me, say hi. I have four more discounted tickets, so I’ll be back a few more weekdays. 3 Quote

momskeeztoo Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 Was a fun day. Main Street ROTD. Challenge not nearly as good as yesterday. Lazy improved later in the day. Even took two runs down Burma. Quote

RidgeRacer Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 Was fun tonight but the busses were out in force. Conditions were good. Crowds weren't. Challenge was closed. Para weaver, upper main, lazy were all nice. Lotsa snowmaking. Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 Hey All, I’m back from a fun night session at Blue mountain the true mountain. In the house were Atomic Jeff, PARidge, Johnny Law and GahSkier George. Temperatures were in the mid 20s under clear sky’s with light winds..great snowmaking temperatures. The snowmaking cannons were fired up on Razors, Nightmare, lower park and Central Park along with a few random spots. On the snow a few minutes bedore 7 and there were about 15 buses worth of kids or more and the entire lower lodge was lined with bags. Looked like Tijuana during the migrant caravan. First run paraweaver..snow was chalky and scraped off not bad and no root rollers on lower diZzle..The amount of people on homestretch was mad Cypress Hill..insane in the membrane. Lazy mile was crazy mile snow was not bad..falls was pretty nice. Upper Main Street was good..lower not so much..shuttle was slow with snowmaking cannons firing. Maybe lower park for the weekend or maybe they let the whales cure. Challenge was also closed..massive lift capacity and limited terrain...did lazy again and then finished off with a couple more Paraweavers..a lot of Aggro beginners but some short empty stretches as well. Skies a whopping 8 runs total in under an hour and a half then hungout in the lot for an hour. Enjorales cousin was there but he bugged out before beer thirty. Was nice getting a last taste of winter before this weekends tropical heat wave...JADIP 3 1 Quote

They don't just mention casually about that trail being ROTD, they get into things like guns roaring, kids piling up from buses, DW being scraped, Paradise spitting out an occasional flock of cautious beginners down the DW or that lift capacity exceeding the amount of open terrain. I kept of thinking the same thing: wow, no lines anywhere, and yet such a crowded feeling on the slopes. I can only add that if you looped the quad you'd see groomers in action and as somebody said on the lift that night: "damn, I wish I had one of those". 4 1 Quote

poconoceancity Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 I’m not sure if I’m proud to say that I’ve enjoyed all of his reports since day one around 2005. Quote

toast21602 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Posted January 10, 2020 Today is good up here. Can’t really find a trail to complain about. All the guns have been turned off and production seems to have been pretty damn good. 6 Quote
Popular Post Schif Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted January 10, 2020 Nothing really to add. Snow was great everywhere. I felt old considering the high numbers of hight school kids. Put in an hour between 4 and 5. First evening skiing in a long time. 10 Quote
