10 out of 10 day. 10 out of 10 conditions, 10 out of 10 crew, 10 out of 10 food. Great day!

@toast21602 the last pic made me think of you

Hey all,

 

I’m back from another fun day at Blue mountain the true mountain.  I arrived at the lower lot at like 712am and only JLaw and Maryland liftee in the house..not to fear many many more PASRs arrived.   The temperature was in the mid 40s under partly sunny skys.  
 

First civilian quad to challenge which was pretty smooth and a little soft. Good enough for a repeat then Main Street which was super nice soft cord on top and a little choppier spring snow lower down with some skeet spots.  I also repeated that then over to coming soon which was nice chop.  
 

Sidewinder was very pleasent and I skied that a few times, a few bare spots, lazy mile was smooth and fast..and empty I think because the OG six pack wasn’t running.  There were a few liftlines on the quad, as enjorales said, when the OG six pack isn’t running, they have less lift capacity than two years ago.  
 

Skiing stayed well and I pressed on repeated the runs that were nice which was almost everything…I ended up skiing I believe 15 runs by 1030..would have been about 17 if not for the lines. Fun parking lot today with a sausage Sunday and Maryland guy gave me a patch with a bird he made cause I’m an early bird..well I sure got the worm today.  
 

Rumor has it this is the last week of weekday operation then weekends only, with the forecast it could be possible…so just gotta enjoy every day.  I’ll likely be back at Blue Tuesday AM.  JADIP

Coverage looks pretty grate still. Thanks for the pics, I flew to Joysee today and didn't feel like flying all the way up to True Blue. Let me know when the picnic is, maybe I'll do a few low approaches at Beltzville.

👍 Clouds were a little lower than I would like but between 3,500 - 4000’ the thermals were pretty strong in that altitude range . I hung around West of the ski area but noticed a nonstop thermal by the sand quarry . I wanted a picture from due north .

Sorry @GrilledSteezeSandwich I didn’t think you were gonna start the thread. Perhaps a mod can merge them.

Today was one of the best of the season for sure. Just so much fun to blast off stuff in the slush and it's been awhile since we had nice lot weather. 

Switch was primo but side was the real treat. Super good mix of brown, rollers to get air and hero snow to push the hammer all the way down. I could have run those two forever.

Nothing better than coming back from the double dip to shrimp and chicken skewers. Today was a mad good one to be out of the hill.

I like the song..any lines.

@10:10 the quad line was a full Corral. It’s cause today is the last race day I’d the season and it’s a big one..some sort of tristate regional park ICUP type deal but they stayed off sidewinder and Main Street.  They changed up the corner hip jump on nightmare.

If it’s warm the day after it rains and then the sun comes out it’s like catching lightening in a bottle.

None really to speak of and diminishing as the afternoon went on.

Today was great, rode switchback, main street, and lazy mostly.  The lot was awesome, been a while since I've sampled a feast prepared by Enjorales

Is that a golden eagle?

Some type of Hawk. Haven’t looked it up yet. I was hoping to see some bald eagles. 
When I was over the ski area I saw what I thought were three but I as got closer they were Buzzards. Two males were really dog fighting. I saw a flock of seagulls over Palmerton. The hawk was close to Lehighton .
