Date skied: 1/15/06

Area skied: Blue Mountain

Surface conditions: loose granular, some packed powder.

The rain that we had last night only changed into a brief period of about 1" of new snow that did not help the skiing at all.

My son and I started out the day at 9:30am and we got tickets good until 12:30 that cost me $32 and Warren was free. This is one of the few areas that I know of that sells morning tickets every day of the week.

The temperature was 19F when we started out with very strong winds of 20-25mph with nasty gusts and a harsh wind chill.

Snowmaking was occuring on Paradise which is a long (6000ft) green trail from the summit that had a nice pp surface. Lazy mile also had good snow on it with freshly blown snow.

Crowds where nearly non existant and we got in 8 runs of 1,000 vertical each on the hsq lift.

Just wanted to add some pictures to my post. I risked frostbite with every picture as it was very cold and windy.
