1/14/22...angry Goldilocks.

[toast21602]

Hey All,

 

I’m back from another fun morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 8450am and it was about 30 degrees out.. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Bethlehem ford guy, BenM, Johnny Law, C1er and many others.  Took the quad and hit Razors edge which was the best of the season. The snow was grate, I’m sure better than yesterday’s frozen chicken wings but smooth and firm. 

 

I skied razors twice then to Switchback which was way better than expected for opening. Then to Main Street. It was basically chalky snow groomed to perfection. Main Street was the run of the day and I think I skied that three times total with various entry roots from Xing, Chute, Midway. The lines weren't bad since the quad and sixes were both running.

 

In the lot it was in the mid to upper 30s which is mad goldilocks..not too warm, not too cold, just right, but a bit breezy today. Have a great weekend! JADIP

Razors was good ... but Main Street was butter.  Main had the best snow on the hill.  I do enjoy a good Midway -> Lower Main though when she's empty, and it was skiing great today.  See everyone Sunday!

Sun came out about 10:30, and the wind coming up Razors moderated a little, but would still slow you down quite a bit. Left a little after 11, and still wasn’t crowded. Parking area near the ski patrol was roped off, apparently to allow buses to unload.

love a good raceway(widowmaker)>midway combo off of the dubs

[Johnny Law]

The widowermaker midway lower main line is awesome once the other side opens and you can get a clear run with decent snow. The last little pitch of raceway into the roll over on midway always makes you want to check speed at least for a millisecond.  

Warm and the snow was so good on main and pretty good elsewhere.  So nice to have switch back even if the snow was just ok.  They even ran both chairs.  

Tomorrow is going to test the stiching on my clothing but this has been a very good stretch of snow for blue. Basically since it's gotten cold all they've done is open trails and within two or three days the snow has been quite good.

Grate report, 9.5 out of 10. Since 8450 am isn't a real time I have deduct 0.5 points.

Thanks. I modeled it after the best trip reporter PASR has.
