12/20…last day of fall felt very wintery

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey All,

 

I’m back from a fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 720am and it was in the mid 20s with moderate winds and cloudy sky’s with a few flakes in the air.  In the house was everybody but Zonked, NMSki, Toast and Salty.  
 

First civilian OG six pack to razors ledge..snow was pretty nice for the opening of the run and no root rollers.  Next run paradise which was nice groomed snow, very pleasant. After that over to the super summit safari six pack to the first upper Main Street of the season and that was the ROTD…was like a western groomer and lower was decent as well. 
 

Lazy mile was also good..a little crowded with the race team but they aren’t annoying at all lol.  All three high speed lifts were running and I got to ride the comet quad for the first time this season and my first non six pack so far in this young season.  
 

Fun but chilly market lot and some went back out for some more.  All in all it was moderately crowded but the snow was super good today. Ski some of yall tomorrow.

Today a 9 out of 10 awesome day. Everything was good. Upper main was 10 out of 10 good. Lazy made a complete turnaround from last week. Skied razors first run and that was excellent. Not to mention....all 3 high speeds were turning which meant minimal to no lines on great conditions. Blue was like a real ski area today, without the drive.

Nice report although 12/20 was yesterday.. I was waiting for a trip report from yesterday but nobody posted one. I like your format.

Took the initiative  and signed up - Nice chatting with you all today - Nick and the Blue crew get a 5/5 for mountain prep this morning - Did they hire a new groomer driver ?

Lol this dude in the green jacket?   That would be me.  I lurk here from time to time. 😉  Had a blast this morning.  Don’t know how many times I lapped Lazy to Falls but I seemed to keep missing the log jams so I kept going back.

Excellent cup placement. 

Good job, camera guy.

[theprogram4]

Rode from 5-9 tonight.  Lighting was the worst I’ve ever seen at blue, some legit dangerous spots (for the old lights, new lighted trails are great).  Place emptied out at 6

That's rad!!! @Ski2Live Live2Ski missed the hot cocoa and cookies. We could have invited Matt Edge to join us and split a hot cocoa three ways, and then discuss our upcoming trip to Verbier. We're doing a budget room with triple bunk beds, though I already called top bunk.

I noticed that grooming was particularly good mid week, where it was done. Would be nice though, if they could groom the entire mountain rather than just grooming half of it, I guess a lot of the nighttime grooming is going into opening new slopes right now.

Top bunk is grate cause you avoid the splash zone
