GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 16, 2021 Report Posted March 16, 2021 Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. In the house was Atomic Jeff, C1 and Bethlehem Ford Guy. Temperatures were around 30 under overcast sky’s and they blue snow on a good percentage of open terrain overnight. I began on Razors and the new manmade was groomed in perfectly and I can describe the snow best as styrofoamy..not dry chalk but also not sticky icky. Me and Atomic Jeff continued to lap Razors and I think we saw four people on the run in the first six runs. The six pack is still down but luckily crowds were sparse enough that at most there was only a several chair wait for the quad. Managed 7 runs on Razors in the first hour and ended up with 9 total by 920am. Was much better skiing than expected..I figured the snow would be mediocre and lines would get long fast and I was wrong and wrong. JADIP 3 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Posted March 16, 2021 The nachos were incredible. I need the energy to log in a couple orders and then stand in line for vaccine. 1 Quote
C1erArt Posted March 16, 2021 Report Posted March 16, 2021 Feeling the love today after yesterday. . Chemically stripped the warm wax off my skis, fibertexed the bases, rewaxed, and touched up the bases. 9 great runs down Razors. Paradise and Sidewinder were good too. Switchback OK, but lower Main Street pretty icy. Challenge was good, but started getting skied off. Falls was a little icy. No crowds to speak of. Got pretty quiet around 11. 5 1 Quote
mute1080 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Posted March 17, 2021 6-745 mostly on the slow trails with the fam. Empty and the snow was grippy and pretty good. Super light rain with lower 30s temp wasn’t bad. The ice cave on Nightmare is coming along nicely and looks like we should be able to ski through it this weekend. 4 1 1 Quote

Expand I told Jeff earlier this year my off day switch from Wednesday to Thursdays about 4-5 seasons ago has been good to me weather wise. I miss night skiing and like the ambiance of it, but can’t justify the usually trash conditions. I rode a few night sessions last year and it was like navigating through a day care center with kids flying all over the place 1 Quote

C1erArt Posted March 17, 2021 Report Posted March 17, 2021 Fortunately Atomic and Benm left some snow on the right side of Razors when they burned up the rest of the slope. ;-)10 great runs before calling it a day at 11. Hard to know which line would be faster, season pass or the other lines. Seemed to be a big ski club there. Fog never totally cleared up top. No problem on the slope though. Quote
Schif Posted March 17, 2021 Report Posted March 17, 2021 Safe to say the six is still down? Did it look like they were working on it? Quote

Expand can't say for sure but it looked like it was limping when i was coming towards the mtn. it was stopped by the time i walked out on the snow. didn't look to see if it was being worked on. Quote
