eaf Posted February 16, 2022 Report Posted February 16, 2022 WTH, no report today? I have to leave one, if only to send deserved praises to management for running both express lifts after 10am and leaving TCS nicely groomed for mere mortals like myself. It's the number of lifts and runs I could make that are responsible for the speedy part. Slow was the snow. IDK what was that, freshly blown snow on top of the groomed surface, me being lazy and not waxing the night before, temperatures or something else, but it felt slooooooow. Other than that - great day! 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 16, 2022 Report Posted February 16, 2022 Manmade snow when the temperature warms quickly above freezing makes for slow snow. While I applaud Blue for blowing snow every chance they get, I like when they don’t blow for the consistent surface and speed and as Toast says,”it’s all about the base” Quote
eaf Posted February 16, 2022 Author Report Posted February 16, 2022 Nah, it was slow from the start, and from the start it was cold. Was most noticeable and irritating on Paradise with groomed seas protruded by blown islands, but made Razor so comfortable and soft that it has seemingly attracted everybody. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 16, 2022 Report Posted February 16, 2022 You just have to stick to the steeps when the snow is slow. I’ve has plenty of sessions where I just lap Razors. 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 16, 2022 Report Posted February 16, 2022 Worry not eaf. I'm about to throw down a night sesh report in a little bit. Stay tuned for... 3 1 1 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 16, 2022 Report Posted February 16, 2022 I'm going to make this as non confusing for salty as I possibly can. Tonight is awesome. Comfortable temps, great snow. Crowds aren't too bad. Awesome night out here 5 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 16, 2022 Report Posted February 16, 2022 I'd call snow conditions loose granular. Grippy for the most part. All things considered...a solid 7.9 out of 10 on the Dom scale. Skied right onto the 6 pack. Hopefully stays that way. Beautiful evening 2 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 17, 2022 Report Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Patrol are out sledding themselves around and blowing whistles. Almost like a train pulling into the station. Another patrol sled train was chanting things. I'm wondering if that's because it's a full moon tonight? Interesting Razors is closed btw. Maybe the only bummer of the evening Edited February 17, 2022 by RidgeRacer 1 Quote
