Blue Mountain 1/18/10 (Pics added now)

Date(s) Skied: 1/18/10

Resort or Ski Area: Blue Mountain

Conditions: Spring-like. Corn

Trip Report: Awesome day at Blue today. Completely empty with spring-like conditions. Then then sun broke through the clouds and corn was harvested . I did 18 runs in 3 hours. Razor's was an absolute blast, even with the ruts left in there from the ski team. Main Street, Lazy, Switchback, Dreamweaver all excellent. They really did plow over and re-seed the moguls on Nightmare, I think I got a pic of that (looked horrible, I didn't ski it). Not too many pics because I forgot to recharge the camera. Mrs Root did pretty well and had a blast also. I was really surprised that when we left around 11:30, the valley lot was still mostly empty. Pics will be uploaded later.

Sorry, that's all I was able to take before the battery died. Totally legit day today. Can't wait to go back for more:grin:

Did not get there until 11:30, and yeah, was major league surprised at the conditions (and lack of crowd?????). Glad you got Mrs Root out.

Did a half dozen runs down razors before heading to main st and imprinting my helmet and butt prints all over the bumb trail...

Seriously, major fun day today. :beer:

Ghost town today for sure. I wound up doing 18 runs between 8 and 11ish. I think I'm going back tomorrow after work. Still should be pretty good, just a little more firm.
