2/19/25…pretty nice and quiet to start

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey All,

 

I’m back from a fun morning at Blie mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot before 830 and it was 15 degrees under partly sunny sky’s with light winds.  In the house were C1er, the Bethlehem ford crew, Oz, Rodney and a bunch of school buses from places like Scranton and Salisbury township.  Blues free kids program is really attracting a lot of groups midweek days.  
 

The Super summit safari was not operating and I began on the OG six pack.  First run on challenge was very nice cord, somewhere between western groomer and frozen cord.  There was some bite and crispness but also some cushion for the pushing. I did challenge two more times as most of the Boomers and Jerry’s were on Paradise and Lazy then went to Switchback which was still wall to wall cord, I skied that again then Main Street which was pretty nice but a few crumbles lower down. I then did X-ing to Main Street and X-ing frozen cord. 
 

I took the quad only once and was gonna do coming soon but there was new blown on Paradise so skied that. The top half was silky and bottom half a little crumbly to slick. Final run was another X-int to Main Street.  First few runs was a ghost town but by the time I left around 1020, there were minor lift lines.  Was amazing to see glare ice on upper challenge an hour after it was so nice.  
 

All in all a fun session and my first solo session of the season.

New blown snow on Lazy, and Freefall had grippy snow on top and groomed snow on the headwall. Main and Switch were deserted all morning except for one run past a bluecoat training session. New Carv high score on Main today.

Despite my early arrival I was not on the first civilian six pack, OZ was, he really wanted it so let him have it and then ski patrol wanted chair two so me and C1 and a couple ladies second civilian chair and fine for me Oz was halfway down the challenge headwall before it was my time to shine.
