Hey All,

I'm back from a fun RAW Right After Work session at Blue mountain the true mountain...on the drive up I rocked out to Fat Joe's Lean Back remix featuring Ma$e and Eminem. I pulled into the lower lot around 330PM and it was 40 degrees under mostly sunny skys. There were a decent amount of cars in the parking lot. When I got to the top of the 6-pack, Paradise was closed due to grooming, I skied Razors which had really nice silky snow on top of a firm base..pretty nice snow. Then on the next ride up, Razors was closed for race training but there was tons of fresh cord on Paradise. That run was followed by more fresh cord on Lazy Mile. I saw Rodney, Kevin, one of Rodneys MILFs, and a random dude who chills with Rodney who has a poneytail at the bottom. I rode the lift with them and skied a freshly groomed Switchback..the poneytail guy was amazed at all the spray my Blowers were throwing up. I freaking love those skis. 110 underfoot shredding the mad sweet and low..hell yeah. Switchback was so good that I skied it again with Rodney and his boyz..followed by some lower park action. I hit all four mini-booters and overshot the landing on the second one..Mad Home Simpson....Doh!!!!

I then skied solo for a bit and hit up Challenge which as Moe Ghoul described earlier, was chunky. I skied another run on Paradise then ran into a few of Jims buddys. Epicski Bruce and one piece skisuit Jim were in the house as usual for a weekday session. I skied Dreamweaver with them and Lazy Mile..Dreamweaver was pretty icy and lazy mile was nice and grippy..the kind of snow Atomic Jeff enjoys. Then I was solo once more. I rode the lift with a dude who was drooling over my skis. I offered to sell them to him for $100 more than I paid for them...and he declined. It's like people at Blue have never seen fat skis before. I feel like a chick with double D's..lol. As the sun was setting over the Kittaninny Ridge..I finished out my session with a few more Lazy Mile to the falls combos. When I left the temperature was down in the low 30s.

I'll be back tomorrow afterwork..I have no idea whether it will be raining or snowing..but the recent sunny weather is for the birds..I want to see some sort of decent storm..Today was one of the only days this season I didn't see one PASR or AZers at Blue...hopefully I won't have to pimp myself out to my Blue mountain groupies tomorrow and can ski with some PASRs...Holla..


I forgot to mention that there were a few pro skiers and riders at Blue who were having a photo/video session on Sidewinder. They were sessioning the cement mixer and Grilling up some serious Steeze!!!!..then they were sessioning the Big Booters and the wall ride. There was a special camara on a wire..I got to catch a few sick jumps from the 6-pack but it would be cool to see the completed video.
