Hey All,

 

I’m back from another fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain. In the house was everybody except Johnny Law, NMSki, Mute, Falco, Enjorales cousin,  Ryan, PSYFlyGuy, Zonked, Mart Edge, VTMarknand Kyle. 

 

The temperature was in the upper 20s when I arrived at 715am and Salty was parked in the wrong row hoping the ski shop would open early.  First civilian chair full six pack challenge was smooth but a little chattery..Main Street and lazy had fresh manmade and sidewinder softened nicely in the sun, paradise was fast and empty.  First 45 minutes or so the quad was down and amazing how long the line for the six pack was because of it. Not crazy but an almost full corral. Once the quad started running lines tapered down.  

 

Coverage is anazing consifering the 70 degree weather we just experienced and the sun was bright. I enjoyed some chips, fruit snacks and pizza in the lot and beer and got to chill with Wally a little.  JADIP

Today was decent. Mostly firm everywhere but the grooming was at least constant. The sun felt nice. Will be much darker tomorrow. Even after the warmth there is still a lot of base left. This week should continue to preserve most of it. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

It’s all about the base

This morning was fun! Snow this past week was better with the warm temps but it definitely wasn't terrible.

@saltyant was ripping his new skis today. Waiting for a written report of his thoughts on them at Blue the True instead of Snowbasin.

It was nice to be back.  Colorado is awesome, but nothing beats Blue.

You can always find a bigger mountain and better snow.....but can you find anything better than hangin with all the misfits at Blue?

Pretty fun day on snow! Did some magic carpet laps in the AM and the kiddo is starting to figure out how to stop on her own. Luckily still fascinated by the magic carpet.


Dropped her off at my parents for lunch and a nap and went back up for some sunny slush laps. Main was a bit sticky, but everything else was soft and still reasonably fast. 2nd jump in central is still really fun. Got a few grabs back that I haven’t done with any spins in a while, might be time to take it past 360° again now that it’s warm and sunny.

You passed me on the edge of The Falls and I saw you catch mad air. WTGAI.

New skis were very fun on Challenge once it softened up a bit by 9 am. I think I'll enjoy them on any groomed run so I don't really have any thoughts on skiing them at Blue vs. Snowbasin.

I went out for seconds around noon, and Challenge was still really nice but there were some icy spots. While the Jerries were falling left and right, I was still ripping down on my Ripsticks and the ice didn't really bother me like it did on the RTMs, JADIP Ice is Nice

This morning at the top of Blue I saw smoke on the horizon. It must have been this windmill fire near Mahanoy City which is around 32 miles away as the crow flies. That's bananas! I bike past these windmills all the time.

Did you indulge in any drugs in Colorado?  Just wondering

Around 11am, we were hanging out in the lot and @enjoralasspoted this gem. The dude was carrying the boots that were attached to skis. 😂

of course, @Mixilplixis wallys favorite fun uncle.

And as we stood there longer and longer, there was a doppelgänger group in the adjacent lot. There was a girl with the same jacket as a me. A guy was the JLaw steeze, and a guy who had the posture and hat of Atomic. From the tailgate of the pickup, they were grilling up some meats.
