Popular Post GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted December 13, 2020 Hey All, I’m back from another fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the upper lot super early a few minutes after 7 and it was a nice view of valley fog and clearing up near the mountain peaks. The temperature was in the low 40s with moderate winds. In the house were Atomic Jeff, BenM, Pops, Enjorales, NMSki, JFBBDan, Mute, Ryan, Johnny Law, Enjorales cousin, Mixilplix, Matt Edge, Zack, TP4, Antman, Rodney, Slim and many others. Third rope drop in a row..feeling like groundhogs day but in a good way as opposed to the previous 270 days. Vista was smooth...midway as well lower Main Street in the fog that rolly Polly stuff..rather not go fast through that I guess that’s like two and a half D snow. Come around was nice and Burma skied about the same as yesterday maybe a little softer in the corners. I definitely was in some dirt...midway turned to thick spring snow fast and lower Main Street remained firm in the fog although I’m sure big push piles by now For season passholders Blue remained like a country club..no liftlines..people buying tickets came later. No race team or employees skiing and limited attendance made the runs uncrowded. I remember opening weekends in the past with 20 minute liftlines today may have been 20 seconds. They still sold a decent amount of tickets but they arrive at 9-10ish for morning tickets and 11:30-12:15 for afternoon sesh. Was fun hanging out in the lot in 50 degree temperatures. Had some beer and chips. The weather forecast couldn’t be better..Even with the limited terrain I need to be a rider if the storm maybe Wednesday PM or even Thursday AM...I wanna ski some nice groomer snow as well..maybe another morning this week... I’m think the valley and six pack will be open next weekend along with tubing. Was a super good opening weekend thanks to a couple semi cold days. I wonder how the skiing was at bear creek, Elk or Canelback? Was Shawnee open? Who cares they aren’t blue. 10 1 Quote

Johnny Law Posted December 13, 2020 Report Posted December 13, 2020 Today was boner city, nobody around, warm Temps and decent snow. If we can keep the country club for another month it should be a January to remember. 4 1 Quote

Popular Post Shadows Posted December 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted December 13, 2020 Could be worse. Nice night though. Did 3 runs and was gonna leave but then I found the other side with the bump line. Ripped that for a bit. This place is dangerous. Gonna have me start looking at bump skis. 11 Quote

Schif Posted December 14, 2020 Report Posted December 14, 2020 If Blue goes full on country club the only one of us who would be allowed in with a dress code. He's the only one of us who wears khakis and polo shirts to ski. 1 1 Quote
antman12 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Posted December 14, 2020 What are the realistic chances of them opening the Valley/6 next weekend? I’m not getting my hopes up but it would be awesome if they do. Nice seeing you guys again. Quote

toast21602 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Posted December 14, 2020 I wouldn't expect it this upcoming weekend unless it is a Sunday opening. I think they are going to crank the guns as long as possible and wait to groom it all out. I could be wrong. I usually am. Quote
