12/24/20...Xmas eve..fast and soft.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey All,

 

I’m back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at around 820am and it was 40 degrees under ominous overcast sky’s. In the house were MBike Mike, JFdan, Atomic Jeff, BenM, Nazareth Jay, Shadows, Henry, Enjoralas cousin, TP4, Antman, Keith, Crazy Kathy and many more. 

 

First civilian 6 pack and barely any people in the house  Challenge was pretty nice a little chop..Main Street top was smooth fast cord hero snow and bottom a little chop..lazy mile was ok very soft..paradise was my favorite and only a few people on it..The rain didn’t start until a little before 10am and it wasn’t that bad while I was skiing.  

 

Managed 9 runs in a little under an hour and a half then hungour in the lot for about 45 minutes drinking beer in the rain  I’m glad the rain held off and I got some runs in on this Xmas eve   Usually I’d be at my parents house today but because of Covid I’m not allowed in their house so saved me 7 hours of round trip driving and my mom nagging me about everything JADIP

Bombin challenge on soft snow is always good.

Nice to see everyone.

Who doesn't love hero spring snow on Xmas eve?  Great morning out there.  Oh, and here is a pic of @mbike-ski that is well composed, level, and clear because my lens isn't covered in grease.

We didn't.  Conditions were fantastic.

A lot of times when you think conditions are going to be shitty they turn out to be pretty good...Even with a little rain....

I never thought conditions would be shitty..the main motivator for me today was empty runs..

Did it rain at all?? Not a drop in NJ, and it seemed like it was more of a drizzle than rain at Blue? WTH?

Started drizzling at about 950. Never got into a real rain shower, granted I was done by about 1030.

I'm always gonna roll the dice now after missing the epic conditions at Elk last year.

And we have waffles at the top. I sometimes loudly say as I’m about to disembark from the Tram,”Which way is it to the Mangy Moose”...or,”Which way is it to Outer Limits”
