Hey All,
I'm back from a fun session at Blue mountain. I arrived at 330PM and it was 43 degrees under sunny skys. The lower lot was about 1/6th full and there was no liftline for the 6-pack. I first skied a freshly groomed Paradise, then at the top I saw Zaldon. We skied Razors which was fast with a few small bumps near the top. Then a freshly groomed Lazy Mile..we were first down it and skied the whole mile. We then skied Dreamweaver..it turns out a patroller was chasing me and Zaldon but I managed to squeeze onto a chair and Zaldon ended up riding the lift with the patroller. Instead of getting a lecture from the patroller at the top, I skied down a Tuts to a freshly groomed Switchback and waited for Zaldon at the bottom and apparently Zaldon said he was making slow and deliberate turns so no citation.
We skied Challenge which was pretty solid and in the shadows and Switchback again which was sugarsnow only a half hour after it was groomed. Then a few runs later we went back to Paradise. I saw a patroller from around the first corner so I slowed down to 5mph and got into a turkey tuck and made a bunch of turns in a powerwedge..well I got whistled at and Zaldon as well but I kept skiing by in my powerwedge turkey tuck and the patroller skied right along side me and told me to stop. I listened and he told me to talk my skis off..so I did..and he was going for his pads and I said,"I slowed down when I saw you"..he said he was stopping me because I was in a tuck and my poles were behind my back..I said I was going slow and you should really get that guy....I pointed to Jim flying by in his one piece Red skisuit..he said he was not in a tuck..I walked over to him..put out my hand, said I'm Doug...shook hands with him..He said he was Dave..I said,"I'll ski slow on here..can I just go and join my friend"..and he let me go..so I skied the rest of the run..tuckless..then the next run I ran into Jim and he said Epicski Bruce got stopped for fast skiing on Paradise..and he doesn't even ski that fast..wow..Johann must have all the patrollers on a special speed control assignment..my getting stopped on Paradise was rediculous and I have Zaldon as my witness..oh well..
After 14 runs and 2 hours and 10 minutes..I was getting hungry and the snow was getting crusty and starting to set up..Guys watch your speed on Paradise..even if it's empty or you're in a power wedge turkey tuck..on a Monday..they are watching for you..with their whistles ready..
