1/7/22 - Fresh Snow

[toast21602]

Just wrapped up a Truly©️ stellar morning up at Blue. Sitting in the lot enjoying a beverage now. 
 

Got here early and only @JFskiDanand @Dirtwolfwere here. Nobody else showed up 🤷‍♂️ Sun popped out early. A 3 minute delay to start but well worth it. The first few runs down Free Fall were fantastic. JFDan and I got first tracks. Second run was tracked but still great. Took a few runs on Main which were also fantastic since everyone was either on the far left or right of the mountain. Lazy good. Vista good. Midway good. 
 

Guns blasting a lot of trails. They’re on the way to being in good shape for next weekend. Best day of the season by far 👌

Sick bird !!!!!! So jelly,  I'm heading up later but my daughter wanted to sled this morning which was dope but I was definitely thinking of coming soon.

Those first runs down Coming Soon were spectacular!  Was last civilian down it last night and nearly first this morning.

You're all going to love it. Enough snow to make the first turns fun, but not too much to make pile of crud. Everything was nicely chalked up - Lazy in particular.

such a good morning with @toast21602  @Dirtwolf.  best day thus far for me.  First run down Free Fall was like

Repeated Free Fall, but it was clearly the run of choice for everyone, little bit left over for second run.  seems like everyone had their sites set on lapping that so we went over to Main and were able to grab a little fresh and make some sweet turns for a few

By then everyone had sort of figured out there were other trails on the mountain besides free fall.  Crowds were moving in and the line at the quad was getting backed up, so we ran the main street chair, and then that quickly became busy.  

perfect day to play hooky from work.

A couple observations about Freefall.

The East side was a fun traverse and zip in the trees and then drop to the edge of where the trail turns west. 
There was like a small half pipe with bumps next to the snowgun towers . I found a couple rocks hiding , as the season progresses that’s going to be a cool place. 
The last gun tower before the merge has a neat kicker jump with a drop off and safe spot to brake before the merge. 
Lots of loitering by the merge. 
I like the choice in fall lines, fun trail!

Unfortunately I didn’t make it up to Blue last year . My friend Paul said it was open last year after a big natural snowfall. They let it bump up and didn’t groom.

Kinda wondering what the big deal is because it’s got a new name ?

Grate description. Paradise was the best snow I had all year and got a run on CS. Small snow shower showed up around 130 but hard to tell with all the guns running. Crowds through the gates by 2 so we were out.

Quad had no one watching the iPad so it was an s show when a pass wouldn’t work. They’d eventually get the hint to step over the fence.

Where did you mostly ski last season? I didn’t ski slow enough to notice all those things.  I do know freefall is about 5 GSS turns long.

I’m honestly impressed that Blue has enough employees to staff both the quad and six pack on a Friday.

I have 95 year olds in my office all the time. Some of them still drive.

It’s absolutely terrifying seeing some of the people still on the road.  Their CarFax reports have like 5 accidents (never their fault, just a parking lot ding that required towing)

Got to the lot this morning around 9 am. Surprised to see the amount of cars there already. Had a great day, Coming Soon was a lot of fun, snow was the best it’s been all season. Skied until about 230, wind had really picked up and lines got a little long.
