1/11…a friendly inch..very nice and busy

Hey All,

 

I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain.  I arrived at the lower lot at 720am and it was 23 degrees under cloudy sky’s with an inch of new snow.  Second civilian OG six pack to challenge which was run of the year..nice grooming with a fresh inch on top..ask PARidge it was good.  I don’t like going to razors first cause not as consistent.  
 

Next was sidewinder which still had a little fresh on the sides was very nice than nightmare to Dreamweaver which was nice with a few scrappy spots emerging.  Main Street was good on the top but some small crunchies in the middle.  X-ing had beautiful fresh perder and luckily Salty left a little for the masses as he had first descent of X-ing earlier.  
 

Coming soon was ok..Back to sidewinder was getting a little slicker but not bad…back on challenge and a mix of frozen and loose granueler..Midway wasn’t great but little gap to lower Burma was nice and not that busy and I ended the session with come around to X-ing to Main Street to switchback to connector to barbs way and pretty good for 940am but so many people by this point.  
 

All in all a fun session and despite it being the busiest day so far this season at Blue the true, almost every run was good and I didn’t personally wait more than a few minutes in line.  Ski most of yall tomorrow. JADIP

It's amazing what an inch of snow can do for stoke...not just for tightening up conditions but also mentally ...to feel like you're in the mountains. The first few runs of the day (challenge and side for me) were so money it was hard not to smile. From there it stayed good virtually everywhere. Even skied sleepy hollow glade a few times along with the ditch. Main was probably the worst condition wise. Crowds became large around 9 and despite wanting to ski more...lines beyond the turnstiles at 940 and crowded slopes were enough to wrap up a mighty fine session. Maybe the best of the season so far.

Maybe it's becuase I keep going to Florida but I thought today was the best turns of the year. 

The first couple were damn near perfect and for a turn you could be skiing anywhere. Even the stuff below the inch had good grip.

I love the high walls on the ditch, it ruins your speed but you can get so high and slutty. Ridge was in front of me I think and his tails looked quite majestic in the glimmering snow. 

It got super crowded fast and I'm always 50/50 on another run but I'm only asking to make 945 before it's butts to nuts at all three lifts.

Does Switch still have a big skid mark in the middle. Didn’t even ski it Thursday, looked a little too… skiddish. It’s my favorite trail, too.

Super fun time this morning...First run down NMDW was buttery smooth..You could really lay it down...Hit it again before doin Switch and Side...Still good stuff to be found here and there..I just love how natural makes it so quiet...Called it after a near miss on Switch and the crowds got like whoa...

I didn't see anything, if your far right at the merge at main it cuts way in and is not visible until your on top of it but that was the only thing I saw.

VIP line when the line guy was out making 6's worked out real well.  nice job by Blue getting that going early.  Ditch was fun, even skied a little sleepy hollow glades.  

@Boo Bear's brownies are money.
