GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 4, 2022 Report Posted January 4, 2022 Hey All, I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830am and it was 17 degrees under sunny sky’s. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Johnny Law, Bethlehem ford guy, Rodney, Gary, Drew and a couple dozen more. I heard about somebody who got his season pass pulled for poaching upper Main Street yesterday..what a ding a ling The snowmamkbg cannons were blasting on Paradise, Razors, Falls, upper Main Street and a few random spots. First run on midway to lower Main steeet was rough..that solid teeth chattering snow. Lazy mile was ok on the top 2/3 with mainly frozen granules with a few abrasive spots. Only skied about an hour and then hungout in the lot for about a half hour enjoying the sun. With no wind it felt pretty nice outside, not as cold as expected. I’ll be back Thursday AM. JADIP!!! 5 Quote

C1erArt Posted January 4, 2022 Report Posted January 4, 2022 Good time had by all. Paradise and Free Fall to open Thursday. 2 Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 4, 2022 Report Posted January 4, 2022 It was super good to park in the valley and ride the big comfy couch in the sky. The snow was pretty awful, cookies everywhere but they were blowing and by this weekend it should be much better. 1 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 5, 2022 Report Posted January 5, 2022 Had a great day. Lots of leftover Christmas cookies this morning, glad I got the skis sharpened. Sun was warm, no wind. Perfect ski day, then a fun tailgate. Got lots of runs in 7 Quote

Did you accidentally have tracker on when driving on Blue mountain drive lol I don’t turn it on til I’m walking out of the lot on to the snow. I didn’t feel like I was going that fast, and I do turn my skis a lot. I guess you can pick up a lot of speed on those cookies 2 1 Quote

Did you hit up Burma Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 5, 2022 Report Posted January 5, 2022 Did Burma around 4 times. Pretty nice until the last stretch. People everywhere. Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 5, 2022 Report Posted January 5, 2022 And I do like the tracker. I used to try and count my runs, but could never keep track of it. Quote
enjoralas Posted January 5, 2022 Report Posted January 5, 2022 Is that iOS? I use ski tracks as well (Android) but I don’t see the run count field on that screen 1 Quote

Did you accidentally have tracker on when driving on Blue mountain drive lol Around Blue there seems to be a black hole that accelerates you to ludicrous speed. I've seen people claim 75 on razors edge ....No Bueno 2 Quote

I definitely topped 80mph at Jackson hole when I passed Dennis and honestly I don’t want to go that fast again. That day was insane. Quote

I've done a radar-gun confirmed 70+ mph on Razors Edge but that was on a sheet of ice in the most aerodynamic tuck I could get into. I laugh when people say they casually got to 60+ mph at Blue. 2 1 Quote

That day was insane. ya, knowing what 70+ mph at Blue felt like, we definitely hit 80 that day at JH, probably on Grand. I've never let them run like we did that day 😮 Quote

Not only that, often it can't even accurately count the number of runs! It seems to get confused at times riding the 6-pack, thinking there's an extra run while ascending. At least my ancient Avocet watch can do that correctly! Edited January 5, 2022 by indiggio Quote
Benm Posted January 5, 2022 Report Posted January 5, 2022 i used to use it to track runs and days, never found a discrepancy. as for speed, haha yah ok. Quote
