2/28…nice weather…meh snow…wipeout

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey All,

 

I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot around 825am and it was partly sunny with a temperature in the upper 30s with moderate winds.  In the house were Atomic Jeff, NMSki, Mark, Bethlehem ford crew minus Bethlehem ford guy, Oz, Airhead and some others. 
 

First run on Main Street was ok, a little crusty and a little soft..Challenge was solid cord but with every skier turned to straight cookies. Coming soon was decent and I skied that twice as was lazy mile.  I returned to challenge later when the rest were on Sidewinder and it was so cookied up and I was telling myself ski on top of the snow not in it and a second later my ski got grabbed and I got twisted around for my first fall in two years.  My calf/knee is sore but I don’t think it’s anything serious.  
 

When I left at 1030am the temperature was up to about 45 degrees..

 

Now back at work like a dork, already sold a tombstone over the phone.  JADIP

 

i forgot to take a picture so I’ll leave all y’all with this in honor of yesterdays date.

Glad you're ok.

Got stuck behind every truck in the valley and ended up a few minutes late. Rode the quad up with someone who said they seeded bumps on coming soon so I had to investigate. 
They were pretty solid but the rest of the trail was ok. Went down nightmare a few times and it was okay. Over to main st and lapped Barneys as it was softening up nicely. One run on challenge , holy crap! was my first thought looking at the giant cookies but after smacking a few they turned out to be pretty soft. 
Back to Barneys but enjoyed the lower main gun run the most. 
Wish I could have stayed longer.

Get plenty of thc........ or is it's tlc ?

I'm not sure but I did ride today around noon and the hero had been pushed into piles and it was surprisingly rowdy. I spent alot of time in the air, the super sun was nice though.

Whenever  it refreezes it could be brutal but for now it's pretty fucking soft.

They fancied up the razors for the race and they have all kinds of fancy sponsors now.

Got a real nice 15 runs in from 1015 to 145. As nice a day as we’ll get in PA barring a March snow storm. Enjoyed all but Burma which had super heavy snow on it.

I don’t think I’ve ever been OK wahahahah…but if you see me pussyfooting down stuff tomorrow you know why, I’m already planning on Paradise first give challenge a break for a second, just like I avoid the stretch of road old lady crashed into me.

Did you park at the top?  Nice job describing the conditions lol

Here now. Came expecting a spring night sunset sesh on uncrowded slopes. Arrived to flash backs of elementary school skate night at the roller palace on Roosevelt boulevard. Not sure what I was thinking. Conditions are probably a 3.8. sugar bumps. At least there was the sunset.

Worst session of the season. Skied maybe 5 runs.

That stinks but one day has to be the worst and at least you weren’t limping back to your car..just gotta set the bar really low and it’s not spring it’s February for a couple more hours.

The last 48 hours since Friday morning has not been great for me.  By Friday night lots of swelling above my knee…I walked maybe 50 steps to the lobby to pick up my Uber eats and that was a chore.  Sleeping was tough, minor depression and PTSD..Atomic Jeff said I’m dramatic, yeah maybe. Yesterday made an adventure to the vending machine and mustered up the strength to go to the mini market last night for Zyn, pretzels and some drinks…they also sell crutches in Uber eats. 
 

Today went to Patient first around 10am…nobody was there, had x rays, doctor thinks it’s some sort of sprain…wrapped up knee, gave me anti inflammatory prescription and I bought crutches…they suggested going to Walmart cause cheaper or borrowing from a friend..nah I didn’t want to hobble around Walmart.  I also was taught how to use the crutches, never used them before.  
 

So my attitude is better now, trying to be positive, missing skiing sucks but I need to be better for day to day life.  I’m supposed to help with deliveries tomorrow..I don’t know.
