Blue mountain December 2nd..RAW...

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey All,

I'm back from a fun skiing session at Blue mountain. I arrived around 3:25PM and there were less than 100 cars in the parking lot with a temperature of around 36 degrees. I skied the first two runs alone..the snow was pretty smooth on everything but the bottom of Main Street with some granuler sugar snow..mad sweet and low. Pretty decent conditions and a heck of alot better than opening day. Halfway up my second liftride I saw Atomic Jeff on the trail and I waited for him at the top.

A-Jeff and I alternated between Easy Out to Vista to Midway to Lower Mainstreet and Main Street. We didn't ski the Come Around park but were entertained by the jibhonks. I saw one guy do a backflip off the little booter..mad steezy yo. As it got dark and the lights were on visibility improved..we saw Matt Reynard working on his GS turns. I liked the snow on the left side of upper Main Street and the right side of Midway the best..lots of cushion for the pushing..lol. I ended up skiing 16 runs total for 12,800 vertical feet and I quit at 6:20PM. I gave A-Jeff my skeeze to wax and sharpen so tomorrow evening I'll be on my Elans. Anyway I'm happy to be back in the routine of going to work..skiing 3 hours..late dinner..internet posting and surfing and then a steezy night of sleep.

Blue was totally legit tonight!!!!

Good news, that's what I was hoping to hear!

I plan on continuing to ski a little bit everyday. Once I hit 10 days(I'm currently at 8 days) most of the rust will have been skied off. It looks like snowmaking temperatures tonight with a better snowmaking window in the long range. Hopefully they can get the 6-pack side open well before the Holidays.

I'm really glad to hear the snow consistency has improved but then when you're skiing down a hill of golf balls, there's really no where to go but up. Maybe I can swing by after work on Thursday, but the way this week is going for me, it looks like I'll be back on Saturday.

I'll be happy if they could just get lazy mile open to the double lifts for the weekend.

Last season they didn't open until December 7th so this is all bonus to me. I checked out their webcam and they're not blowing snow but I bet they will overnight..Although they only have 10 percent of the terrain open..all the lights are on..it seems like a huge waste of energy..

I made a shit ton of turns tonight..Vista is good for practicing carving..midway..big slash turns in the mad sweet and low and low Main Street is all about staying alive among the out of control nubs and through the dark spot...how many years does it take Blue to change a lightbulb..lol..but I will say that the lighting at Blue is better than Big Boulder and Camelback..

time to check and see if Blue is blowing more snow..
