This snow is beefy.  Not a concern especially since most of us are on fat skis.

Yeah I’m curious about the woods he got lost in 

[RidgeRacer]

Got there around 820 or so. Took me a little under an hour to get there. Dan the man was already in the house. Shortly thereafter BenM showed up. We made our way to the quad around 835. Blue staff was just setting up the turnstiles so we walked up close to the lift and were told to move away so we made our way to the turnstiles. We were first in line although a decent line formed behind us within minutes.

Patrol was having a grand old time skiing fresh poe while we waited. Just before the turnstiles opened patrol told us that they left a lot of terrain ungroomed, ski with a buddy and everything is open including coming soon. They also said drifts created sections up to 4 feet deep in spots. The crowd of course cheered and the turnstiles opened around 902. First chair was had

Patrol yelled back at me and the dudes I was riding with to tell us specifically that challenge, sidewinder and coming soon didn't see a groomer. So I bolted for challenge. Dan and Ben were a few chairs behind and went to razors. After the headwall on challenge (which was hard from the uphill wind) I descended into a fluffy, deep Pocket of snow that held until bottom of falls....like skiing on a fucking cloud. Maybe the best challenge run of all time. All three of us hit it again

From there we went to coming soon which held plenty of untouched. The top part is flat but amazingly fun since it was deeeeeeep. The headwall hit and it was boner city to paradise. Skied that twice.

Skied a few more off the quad then over to the main street chair to scope out the fresh. Dan suggested the t bar line. Did that, then sleepy hollow.. it was all pillowy goodness. Back to the six (which opened) for a tree run skiers left of challenge and right of lazy. This is where we all got lost Douglass. I followed the bike trail out to lazy. I think Ben ended up on SW. Bottom line...today was a free for all at Blue mt. The baller to gaper ratio was about 99 to 1. People were skiing everything and anywhere, trees, marquis route, under lifts you name it.

Lines got long as and things started to get tracked....it was all fantastic but those first few runs were as memorable as it gets. That's about all I got. It was a day for the books. All of my pics are above. Wow. Just wow.
