Blue was awesome! Small, but it was like spring conditions (60F) and the mountain was empty. Both parks were open. Several rails open including rainbow, and one of those step down rails, plus a couple strait and inclined. I haven't tried the rails yet. This was my first time out on skiboards and my wife (skier) was with me. They had several good sized hits. Went airborne once, landed on my side. Too big to soon! Snow was fast and I learned to carve fakie. I saw a couple of other skiboarders there. It was a good time.

Hey, I was there too...but not till 5 pm. Was recoverring from too many Bacardi Superior shots.

I didn't make it to the park...wasn't really trying either...body wasn't up to getting totally jostled around and such. Night time conditions were lots of loose granular over tight pack or ice. Not my favorite stuff to ride. The mashed potato thing gets old after a while. You might have seen u if you were there around that time. We all ride something different...MNp's, BG Pros, Weapons, Groove 75's, and a pair of 80 cm skis (with bungee) for the four year old.

Overall conditions weren't that bad. Still, the loose granular isn't my fancy. You'd think I'd just deal with it being an east coast mountain....lol
