GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 15, 2020 Report Posted January 15, 2020 Hey All, Its almost another weekend..who’s skiing this Saturday and Sunday at Blue mountain the true mountain?? Looks like potential snow on Saturday and wintry temperatures. Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 15, 2020 Report Posted January 15, 2020 I'm coming to play, just kinda depends what happens with the weather. Quote

Those that wont drive up saturday in the snow, will surely be there Sunday for all the fresh pow. 3 Quote
indiggio Posted January 15, 2020 Report Posted January 15, 2020 Unfortunately sounding like amounts have dropped off from earlier runs, but it could be one of those sleepers when the temps just stay at the correct level and it keeps on dumping. Quote
Schif Posted January 15, 2020 Report Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Sunday will be fantastic for the first 35 minutes So if the bulk of the snow is going to fall Saturday afternoon, would it be beneficial to go up then? I still feel like a rookie when it comes to Blue sometimes. Or should I just pack a lunch and plan on being in the parking lot all day waiting for the afternoon refresh.

Trending to be more of an ice event but anything could happen. 1 Quote

As you said, the "snow in the backyard" crowd will be in full force on what is already one of the biggest weekends if the year Quote
PSUFrankenstein Posted January 15, 2020 Report Posted January 15, 2020 I should be up Sunday morning hopefully. Saturday is a possibility too depending on what's going on with the family. Quote

I still feel like a rookie when it comes to Blue sometimes. Or should I just pack a lunch and plan on being in the parking lot all day waiting for the afternoon refresh. Expand This is the big question. I have no plans on Sat that cant be rearranged to make for the best skiing. Maybe a morning session, refreshments, ski, lunch, ski, refreshments, who knows really at this point. Maybe make a trip to home depot and bed bath beyond.....not sure if we would have time. This is where NMSKI's camper thing would come in handy, albeit end up smelling like farts in the end. I'm not sold on any forecast at this point, and based on prior "winter" events this season, the best forecast will be the one made Saturday morning. 2 Quote

Expand Will be the best while it’s snowing. Second best the next morning when freshly groomed. Quote

Expand now that im old and over the hill, crowds at the mountain make me angrier than they used to. i think its cause the past 2 thursday mornings have left me disappointed with so many people there. but as you said, blue needs all the money they can get so ill just suck it up 1 1 1 Quote

Getting tired of blue taking 4 years to open one new single trail. Does Barb really care about the skiing? Huntah got sold and wham bam thank you mam they got a whole new ski area. Your welcome to tell me to bite it if new owners get rid of the VIP line though... Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 I'm out Saturday. Sunday is a GTD. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 Right now looking like Saturday morning for me. Quote
indiggio Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 As of right now, Saturday looking like a snow, sleet, snow event. Hoping it remains all snow, but I'll take a no rain event at the very least. Might have to break out the @saltyant facemask for the sleet blasting. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 Sunday morning should be good if it gets groomed nicely. 1 Quote
