glenn Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Plan on Fri. May be my last day :( Have some family commitments and 4 night works that may preclude another trip after that.

jp1 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 glenn, I'm going to be there whenever possible (weather permitting). Looks like it may actually get back to nightime freezing temps later in the week, so Thur & Fri may be OK ? I thought I heard it was 1/2 price for the rest of the year ? Do you get up often enough to make the 'Early Bird Special' for next seasson worthwhile? IF so, you can buy it & use it now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time I can get away with 1/2 day ticket 'cause I'm worn out by then. That and every time I go on Mon. or Tues. I get the men's day and business day discounts. AND I can only get there about 10 or so times.. With all the above it hardly pays me to buy season ticket and if I get hurt or can't go for some reason I pay and don't get value. But I do appreciate the heads up... As I said, if you're able to go Fri., I'll most likely be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diveburt Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Was up today at Blue and it ranged from "see your reflection" ice to mashed. Razor was closed as a cat died on the first headwall and they don't know how to move it. Generally really crummy grooming if at all. Going tomorrow 3/9 and then next week if it holds. Getting thin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eman2 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 was thinking of going to tomorrow, i have off, but is it really worth it? do they groom sunday night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 They groom every night on most everything except the bumps on main street, light rain expected thru late morning but sound like still rideable. DOnt know if I am going Monday but looking at Tuesday sometime. They said closing MArch 22 or 29, depending on how they hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jl1 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Was out all morning until about 1pm. Snow holding up nicely, firm in the am and softening up a bit by lunch. Lets hope the rain holds off for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp1 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Started out sweet (what I was waiting for yesterday) and just got better until I couldn't stand any longer ! Sugar was starting to pile up around 1 PM. Good time as always, riding with you Glenn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Stayed 'surprisingly' nice until about 11:00 AM, over on Challenge, Razors Edge & Paradise. Pretty 'soft' on the other side when I went to go back to the Top Lodge (Bottom closed during week). Could be descent in the morning ? Maybe I'll try Saturday morning, see if they throw me out (weekday pass) with 2 days left in the season . I'll just tell them Jesse said it's OK :lol:.

Chubz Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 it's not that loosely compressed salt piles in the morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Chubz, surprisingly not . Last Thursday it actually stayed 'firm', you would have loved it ! I kept waiting for it to soften up 'a little', it never did in the morning. Friday, it started out nice and just stayed that way until 1:00PM or so. I kept thinking it'll get 'ugly', so I'll take (1) more run then leave, finally I couldn't hardly stand (glenn was killing me, with his 'hands behind the back' drill, over in the 'Carving Area' ! If the nightime temps. drop to where they are calling (Thurs.-26*, Fri.-23*, Sat.-27*) should be firm in the morning, I'll be there to find out as long as I don't get 'forced' to stay over at work. 2nd thought, why don't you just stay home . I don't need anyone putting the 'Ballentine Rings' inside of my linked turns (after I worked 2 hours to make them) :lol: :lol: :lol:.

Sugar was starting to pile up around 1 PM. Good time as always, riding with you Glenn. Yep John, that was a good day:) Only made three or so runs after you left. Paradise was getting dark on one side and very soft everywhere there was sun exposure. Thought it best to give up before too much equipment damage (burred an edge as it was)...That's it for this season :( Was a good year although, as always, too short. Was a pleasure riding with all of you...Hopefully we'll all be blessed to do it again next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
