GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 Hey All, I’m back from a fun morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830 and it was in the upper 20s under partly sunny sky’s. In the house were Shadows, Atomic Jeff, BenM, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Mixilplix, Charles and Enjorales cousin. Second civilian six pack and a lot of people out right off the back. First run of the day and season on challenge and was frozen cord by smooth..falls is getting better. Lazy mile didn’t have good snow was mini cookies, paradise was decent but crowded..upper and lower Main Street were decent the middle was sketch with ridges and shit. Midway was nice snow. Liftlines became moderate until the quad opened around 940 then not that bad but the runs were so crowded...mostly goobers. Skied till 1015 then hungout in the lot about a half hour. I want to ski tomorrow AM but will be a game time decision based on the rain. JADIP 4 1 Quote
Shadows Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 Day 6 for me. Broke my record last year. 4 Quote
AtomicSkier Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 Not as good as yesterday by a long shot. Lazy was a mine field. Challenge was smoother, but firm. Paradise was slightly cookied. Main Street was probably the most consistent snow. 1 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I didn't skin up...Just messed around where they hold lessons..Took the skins off then rode the lift up... I did send an email to ski patrol about up hill travel on the West Valley school trail using the logic of practicing and knowing your equipment before you go into the "backcountry"....but was met with a no go... They said they had a lot of inquiries about uphill travel this year... Can't @toast21602 call Barb up and make this happen.... Quote

momskeeztoo Posted December 24, 2020 Report Posted December 24, 2020 Skied there Monday on some perfect snow. Yesterday... eh, not so much. Main Street ROD for me. The crowds were as bad as a weekend, quit about 1130, due to fear of being taken out by someone. Hoping to be back Saturday am. And I get my first COVID vaccine this afternoon. 👍👍 8 Quote

I just checked uphill policy at like Loveland, Eldora, and others in CO. It looks like they have a little more restrictions and delayed uphill policy until after the new year. I would love it if Blue had an open uphill policy. Quote
