Chubz Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Put a fork in it, it's done. If we dont get a cold spell, which we arent, season is practically over , unless you dig riding in 8-10" of slop. Can anyone confirm what mornings are like b/c late morning yesterday was just one big slush fest, one run on my lunch break and home. Where did the season go. Teach I am still interested in those heels if we ever meet up. I dont have any hurry if you dont, I hope you still have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Chubz, Confirmed, Wednesday (3-10-10) it was surprisingly good :D from opening till 10:30 or so. Then started to soften up & get ugly but still rode with Glenn until 12:30-1 PM. Pray for some Colder Temperatures, or we're done :(. Sorry guys, I even washed my car, it didn't work this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teach Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 It wasn't slushy this morning. Some spots icy even, how I can't understand. Zero visibility at the top, lucky no one was there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Ice is where all the slush has been pushed off and there is nothing but old base left. I am told we have enough snow stockpiled that even with the amount of rain we are getting this weekend we will still be able to cover any bare spots for the week. Mornings have been pretty good up until about 11, despite the temperatures. Blue Mtn will be closed at 5 pm today and not reopen until Sunday morning. PS: I'll be thinking about you all when I am in Tahoe 3/30-4/2 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loupa5 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Chubz, It's not looking good for Blue Mountain this Friday, can you confirm? For me the season has come to an abrupt end since ECES. I can't complain we got record snow fall at our local resort (Whitetail) with 92 days open. Let me know brother......but if it's soupy, I'm out!! -loupa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yea, its been brutal here. Rain rian rain more warm temps. I might scoot out one morning just to get a taste. Friday night is suppose to drop to 32 degrees here in eAston so that would put Blue below 32 in theory, thus freezing this muck up a bit. If that happens that razor blade ice would get tacky sometime midmorning and depneind g on whow quickly the temps rise, the sun and number of skiers and boarders it might hold up. I will get a peak to see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Chubz, I know you're NOT going to believe this but it was great today..

Chubz Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Wed. morning thru noon On Razor Cheese grating/glove melting frozen cord until about 10:45 am AND FAST!!! Slightly loosened about 11 or so but became lightning fast. Fastest I heard this guy had ever seen;) Softened but one could get some decent carves in, nothing hero though. Had to ride with a bit of wariness, carve in the sun then sketch thru the tree shdows on the right Paradise seemed to loosen earlier so hit t hat earlier if you go. Started to Slop AND SUNDAY IS THE last DAY at BLUE:barf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 teach, are you gonna be around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teach Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Gman: Yes, definitely tomorrow morning FIRST THING. The caps are to remind me to GET UP. Chubz and Gman -- Intec heels. I promised a set to Chubz. I thought he'd lost interest, but he said here he's still interested. I do have two sets but I'm thinking I'd like to keep the set I'm currently using. They're less jarring to walk on than the Fintecs. On the other hand, I started using the Fintecs because they're less slippery on ice. If I get time I'll throw the FIntecs on and just bring both sets and you and Chubz can have at 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teach Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Uh-oh, now I'm in trouble. "Carver Extraordinaire"? Not in my dreams even. Maybe I should delete a thread I started. Did anyone ride this morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 "Did anyone ride this morning?" Yep, was there with gman, surprisingly firm till 10:30 or so, then got purdie :D nice till noonish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 sorry, I got in really late last night, woke up at 7:30 and just couldn't do it. I will definitely be there tomorrow morning. Gman, maybe I will find you. I'll be wearing a bright blue or a white shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
