Popular Post RidgeRacer Posted January 16, 2023 Popular Post Report Posted January 16, 2023 If Saturday was a 3 or 4. Today was an 8. First run on razors was top notch. It was so nice we did it twice before heading to main street which wasn't as good but decent none the less. Another good one and a nice addition to the repertoire is the main street express to Curzis to Midway or Chute to lower main. Midway may have been the worst run today but chute was good. Overall a great morning. In the house were Ryan, Mute, Atomicskier, Johnny Law, Edge, Indiggio, Dirtwolf and many others. Fun day and blue is making a comeback (that is before the shit weather returns this week). 11 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Oh salty was I'm the house too. Btw salty I get partial credit for this correct? "Clear-air turbulence. Jet streams are, at their most basic, high-altitude air currents caused by atmospheric heating and the inertia of the earth's rotation—and they're the reason why flights from west to east are faster than the same route traversed in the opposite direction."

Thanks, I was about to give you a confused face until I scrolled down. Looks like you're correct 💯 Quote
mute1080 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Fun morning with a light crowd and guns blazing. First couple runs on Razors were worth the price of admission. Top of it started falling apart after a couple runs but the rest of it stayed nice. Lazy was a complete marble field and Main continued to be v nice. Rode the new 6 pack at a crawling speed the entire way and at the top they said the button to restart it froze. big facepalm. Hopefully they got it sorted since we didn't try to ride it again. The area between the new and old 6 pack is becoming a popular standing location and hard to get through at times. Heading back for a double dip tonight and hoping no crowds with it being the end of the holiday weekend. 5 Quote
zzslope Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Started on the new lift, interesting perspective. rode it a few times, it stopped once and was slow a couple of times. The end of Burma in front of the patrol building is a little flat but doable. I like lazy but it was rough today, happy with everything else. wish they were blowing on upper sidewinder instead of lower sidewinder. 4 Quote

Not to mention them putting the stupid fence up halfway across the base area, so coming down Trails End you have to fight through the crowds just to get to the entrance. Checking out the webcams in the late afternoon/evening, the place is packed! Hope crowds thin out for you, but WJW! 1 Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 This morning was some of the best of the year, good crew, low crowds and good snow. Set it and forget it skiing where you can put the hammer down. The new lift so far has been running pretty slow but it has alot more buttons than the dirty double. 3 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 I really wanted to ski this morning but fell asleep late last night and really needed an extra hour of sleep and this workweek I have to get a lot done before Jackson hole…I even have a morning appointment tomorrow. I’m planning on Wednesday AM next. Thursday prob rainout and then skiing Friday and Saturday AMs and that’s it for Blue until February. 1 Quote

I agree on Sidewinder..it’s a popular run and spreads the people out alot. Quote

Matt Edge gave me a fist bump on the chairlift for being able to hang with the big dogs now. Atomic Skier on his Kästle skis used to disappear on the horizon like a tiny apple seed, but now I can sort of keep up so he looks like the size of a walnut Edited January 16, 2023 by saltyant 4 Quote

Popular Post mute1080 Posted January 17, 2023 Popular Post Report Posted January 17, 2023 Back at 550 with @Dirtwolf in the house. Crowd was semi still there but most were headed to the exit. The usual slick spots with sugar piles but a pleasant evening with no lines. The kid accomplished her first black diamond with a full Raceway run and now she’s calling for doubles 😂 Beer in the lot and JADIP until tomorrow night. 10 2 1 1 Quote
