Hey All,

I'm back from a fun Right After Work session at Blue mountain. On the drive up I rocked out to some Shop Boyz and the Beatles. I rolled into the upper lot at 340PM and it was 52 degrees under mostly cloudy skys. There were hardly any cars in the parking lot so I didn't use Valet. I first skied Chute to lower Main Street to the lower park. The Chute is getting rocky..they need some signage. The I skied Challenge which was wet corn and I managed to ski it with steeze. I skied Challenge again, then hit Dreamweaver. At this point, I ran into NazarethSkier Jay. We skied Razors which had really nice snow..some of the whitest snow on the mountain. The it was off to Barneys Bumps.

The bumps were in their spring glory..carvable, mushy and big. We ended up skiing the bumps 6-7 runs in total..mixed in with hero snow on Lazy Mile and more Razors action. The snow seemed too slow to bother with Paradise. Later in the session..Matt or Chris..I'm bad with names unless it's a hot chick skied with us..he has the goatee and blue pants and totally kills it in the bumps. Then back for some more Razors and more bumps. The final run was down Lazy Mile..the whole mile..1.6 kilometers for you metric loving PASRs...to the slowest lift in the world..I think it was the first time I've been on the Main Street chair since January and for good reason..but it was too slushy to want to traverse all the way to the summit lodge from the 6-pack.

On the way out, I ran into Maggie Stout, Matt-Stunts little sister and she's going to visit Matt in Colorado tomorrow. She and her jibhonk friends insisted on a freestyle rap from GrilledSteezeSandwich and I busted a mad steezy flow. When I left at 650PM, the temperature was down to 45 degrees. All in all it was just another day in Paradise. I'll be skiing tomorrow afterwork..anybody else???
