Conditions: Ever ski down a Slurpee?
Trip Report: Great night at Blue despite the snow & the fact the I forgot to bring my camera. I'll talk about the snow first. It was really like skiing down a giant slurpee. Very chopped up and everywhere you went, you would eave 2 inch deep tracks behind you even if your bases were flat on the snow. Paradise and Dreamweaver probabily in the best condition, with Dreamweaver having on;y a few really nice parts. Main Street was a horrible mess top to bottom. Razor's was eh. Falls was bumped up pretty well and I didn't exactly notice that on the ride up. We'll I blasted off the top only to land and be very surprised to find moguls. I'm amazed that I was able to just lean into them and absorb ever effin one of them for all of 100 feet.
I saw Nastar Glenn while loading the 6 pack and skied a run down Dreamweaver with him before meeting up with Tarponhead for a run. It was awesome to finally get a run with you dude. We really need to do that again when you have more time. Earlier in the night, I was talking to a dude about how he liked his AC50's and how I just demo'd them a few days ago. I don't know why I'm so curious about this ski, I totally love my Jet Fuels. Anyway, I was gonna take a run with him to see how they ski, but had to grab a phone call.
Later I saw the guy with the AC50's again and skied a pretty brisk run down Paradise with him after giving him the low-down on the redcoats. I skied a few runs with him and he gave me the 101 on skiing switch. Cool to fool around with. I can actually keep up with him, unlike when skiing with GSS, AtomicSkier, Toast, Kragen & NS-Jay
. Later while skiing Lazy Mile, I saw Gorgonzola and TarponHead in their race clinic but I didn't exactly realize that at first. I told dude on the AC50's how I know all these folks because of PASR. I then told him he should join the Blue Crew on Saturday or Sunday mornings because I need someone else to pick up the rear. I think he'll join us at some point. Hopefully soon we'll be rolling two six packs deep again.
Despite the conditions, I was blasting though slop with relative confidence. I really had to keep to a pretty good form and absorb a lot of crap with the legs to do so. I felt sorry for Naster Glenn and TarponHead because they were stuck on their race skis.
