Same shit.... different day.....

Glad it’s getting colder to blow. Wouldn’t be able to make it much longer. It’s been a season of survival. Hopefully they’ll be able to resurface what was lost and maybe get more ready for next weekend if weather cooperates.

Hey All,

I’m back from another session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 759am with sick beats blarin' and it was 50 degrees with fog in the mid and upper mountain. In the house were Atomic Jeff, BenM, Bethlehem Ford Guy, Indiggio, Matt Edge, MBikeMike, Mrs. Snowbunski, Mixilplix, Mute, Ryan, Toast, TP4, VTMark, those dudes I always talk but don't know their names, and many others.

First run of the day was Midway. It was mad Steezy. I blasted down those spring conditions on my Elon Ripsticks. Siiick. The coverage was terrific, a bit of dirty snow though. Lazy Mile was harsh - lots of bare spots and even more dirty snow. I rode the slow Main Street lift once for some variety, and told the lift attendant that they don't need to be running Burma lift too today, because literally no one was in line. But he said it was for the race team which was out in full force today. If they're running lifts that's basically leaving money on the table. They should save those funds and hand out free chocolate chip cookies like Steamboat does at 3 pm. Vista was foggy AF. Burma was pretty nice and not crowded like usual. Connector was rad, though I had trouble finding it in the fog.

Afterwards hung out in the parking lot drinking Yoohoos and making merriment, then I hiked 3.7 miles around Palmerton, including up to and around that legendary house on the hill. #JADIP #Grate #Radical #Sickbird.

Mixilplix & I wrote our reports at the same time. Thanks to @toastman for merging them into one single amazing thread.

I had a f***ing blast this morning. I did 16 run all thru come around to midway dahn to the 6er with 2 runs down Burma. 
 

Got there around 9 since there was no reason to get there for opening and stayed till 12. 
 

Bring on the cold temps and let the guns roar.

Anyone see the accident at upper lot entrance?  An expedition went into the exit side and hit an exiting car head on, luckily didn’t look serious

I’m thinking we’ll have upper Main Street and maybe the falls for the weekend.

That doesn't look too bad, some browns town but not too much coming through

I did.  Some good damage but couldn’t have been too fast.

I told you they were trying to burn off the fog to help preserve the snow!

the pallets stacked next to the side doors appear to be the long bars/cocktail tables with the fire pits in the middle

If they were smart they’d sell individual serving S’more’s kits at those cocktail and sweets wagons.

Blue does (or did) it at slo-side with cool fishing pole sticks

The JCC camp did it 30 years ago but probably stopped due to kids with marshmallow allergies.
