TR American Dreamin on Black Friday

[DiMe]

Arrived at the top of parking deck A @ 10am to meet the usual Blue crew homies.  Turns out a bomb threat to the mall resulted in a minor delayed opening.

To my suprise the mountain was not as crowded as I expected.  Roughly 60-120 second lift line which ultimately cost us a few laps but not bad.

 

Nearly everyone at the mountain was on the free ride piste and so we had the park mostly to ourselves along with some jerry senders.  We even witness one jerry sender full send air taco over the hip jump.  We seen from the lift and alerted the top attendant to summon ski patrol!  We rush down the park to close of the feature and help ski patrol who fired up the tow rope to come to aide.  We waited to flag ski patrol down to the scene so he would not get lost and we departed only to see the jerry getting towed downed in a ski patrol sled.

 

After our 2 hour session we attempted to stop at Yard House from some apres refreshments but the mall and bar was packed!  We settled for 5 guys and a Stella Artois.  Hope for the next session to be Friday at Blue!  All in all it was a exciting day filled with turns, box and rail slides!

Skiing at the store is so rad! Hopefully I last here almost as long as the 2 hour driving time.

It was pretty fun. I made it 90 minutes and skied the left run and the right run. Good to do once a year.

It’s a lot more fun when there are bumps to ski!
