1/14/21...PASR day

Hey All,

 

I’m back from a fun morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain.  I arrived at the lower lot at 720am and it was in the mid 30s under overcast sky’s.  A far cry from the Perder @saltyantwas experiencing up in southern Vermont.  In the house were Mixilplix, Atomic Jeff, Eaf, Toast, Johnny Law, BenM, TP4, Ryan, Mute, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Rodney, silver full face helmet guy and many others. 

 

Second civilian six pack and onto the carpet which is challenge..soft packed powder..I skied switchback second and the cord was grate.  Back to challenge and was still good but the surface was falling apart a lot.  Upper Main Street was super nice especially along the bump line and lower Main Street was ok.  I skied paradise once and while the snow was good sort of a moist chalk, there were a lot of people on that run.  

 

Crowds seemed a lighter than yesterday and Tuesday with nothing more than about a one minute wait for the six pack.  I skied until 10:25am..had a quick beer in the lot thanks to Ryan and Mute and now back in the office. JADIP

You could post that same picture every day and nobody would know there difference. 

Skiing was great today. That snow was borderline cream cheese goodness. Some really fantastic turns on groomers today. Good seeing you all again.

Thanks for the shout out. The snow quality is amazing here but it's not dumping by any means, just flurries. Still by far the best conditions I've had this year since I didnt get to Blue on the powder day

Thanks for the update and I’ll post a picture because it shows what the mountain looks like from a different vantage point. It always looks different..sometimes there’s fog, snowmaking cannons blasting, guy cleaning up garbage and even birds.

Everything left of Challenge was buttah....Razors was kinda mini cookies....Low crowds....This was how I remember weekdays....

I think I saw @C1erArt also

One of my best days at blue, razors top and Challenge were ok, but sidewinder and then Main Street, Switchback and Lazy were great. Probably had one of my best ever runs at Blue on Main Street. Truly JF quality snow for an hour or so.

People seemed pretty considerate, but there were a lot of ‘free the noses’ on the high speeds, so I was on the slow lift for a while.

Today was gorgeous. Great snow, low crowds, smooth lift operation and a lovely attendant at the quad. Beautiful, in short.

@GrilledSteezeSandwich, what were you doing between 7:20 and 9am in that lower lot? I thought, morning margaritas were being served only at the closing ceremony?

Sorry I meant 820am and 820-830am post roll call thread..830-835 talked to Johnny law..835-840 booted up..840-845 waited for Atomic to boot up and 847-9 waited for six to open.  Also sold biggest order of the year so far this afternoon..rack it!!! And not even that big of an order but the year is young.

Didn't take many pics today ...and there pretty shitty at that...I'm prolly the worst skier on the mountain, but today I sorta felt like I knew what I was doing...That's how nice the snow was first thing...

@RootDKJ said he might be there this afternoon/evening. Keep an eye out for his sweet cheeks.

[RidgeRacer]

Solid 8.7 out of  10. Fucking sweet spring like conditions. Mashed potatoey but not sloppy. Just right. Can go fast without having to worry about root rollers. Hell yeah!

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Wow Root is getting a lot of shout outs!!!

[enjoralas]

Headed up in a bit to get the boy some lurnin’. Not sure if I’ll even put my boots on. 

[RidgeRacer]

Root where you at?

[RidgeRacer]

Not sure if it's the recent snowmaking but razors is stellar tonight.

[RidgeRacer]

Lines are getting silly at both "expresses". I'm out but great skiing tonight

Idk. Sun came out...snow softened up. It was good. What can I tell you. As was switch and main. Sidewinder was a close second and challenge was hard in spots. Conditions like tonight (warm, semi spring like) are perfect for NMDW (RIP). Makes no sense that their best trail is closed now for over a week during a busy time of year. I know why it is...I just don't get it.

Covered bridge road, where you start driving into the shadow of the beast, is like the Blue Mountain version of "oh my gosh corner" at sugarloaf.
