Blue Mountain, PA

How are the conditions?

I'm thinking about making a trip out there on the 2nd. 

I havent been there yet this year but i go every year and its a hit or miss with the lines. I would go and check out the lift lines before you even buy a ticket cause you can buy an all day pass and go down the mountain only 5 times if the lines are huge. The runs and parks are nice but the lines are absolutely ridiculous. Not a big fan of blue mountain i would rather go to jfbb only because i hate the lines at blue

Which parks are actually open and rideable?

Was it groomed? I hate landing in ice after jumps...

Just got a NS Revolver. Landing jumps is much easier when there's camber on the board. What about you?

I'm heading up in late January hopefully we can get some real pow by then

Ive been to blue three times so far this year, just night riding. the bottom terrian park was open (not central park with the street features) as of the 11th, i dont remember there ever not being ice at the landing of a jump even from last year but im prolly wrong about that. however if you learned at blue, you should be fine with the occasional ice patch considering the whole mt is ice in the beginning. Lazy mile was sick when i went, good amt of powderish snow and the longest run they had open. i went to jfbb a week before and thats the only mt around here i get cold at cause the trails are so dam small, not enough run to warm you up.

Snow was great last weekend and should be good again this weekend. As long as you get there for opening it will be good early on. And its a weekend so you know its going to be crowded.

Rode last night and this morning. Two good days of riding. Morning was great for the first couple hours until all the powder got chopped up. Glad they didn't groom the powder like other years.

They had all their black diamonds open as of Monday. Only trails not open now are Switchback which will probably open tomorrow and Sidewinder which should be soon. They were grooming the lower section today but the jump line section needs some more snow.

Was just at BM yesterday. I'd say 95% of the mountain is open? I only saw one section that was closed, the bottom of paradise. Also, they seem to have 2 new trails that weren't there last year.

Any plans on changing up Sidewinder throughout the year or just sticking with this build? Tough season for sure but atleast the parks up now. Glad to see that picnic table box and all those other circus features gone.

ya not a fan of the wall ride setup right now

The wall ride was pretty much a ride on yesterday but Saturday was def not like that. Any chance of getting a lip to the right of the wall to hit it if you get what Im saying? To air or spin before hitting the wall.

Sounds good, something like a jump/hip onto that redbull wall would be awesome. As long as its set up somewhat different than the other one.

Saw someone face plant on that wall on Sunday... just watching it was painful.

I went to blue yesterday and the conditions were good.  They were making snow on paradise and burma because of the crappy weather. It did get choppy as the day went on especially at main street

Not icy at but I usually have been riding earlier in the day. Conditions have been pretty solid considering this winter, Blue is doing the best they can. Park set up is pretty good...terrain run is the same set up. Sidewinder is two down rails, flat rail and flat box, DFD rail and box, three pretty nice jumps(nothing too big), the wall, then after the turn there is the wood wall, a tire, and a slanted big butter box. Next is either a jump or up barrel option, then two more down rails, then FDF rail or battleship box followed lastly by two more down rails. Lots of down rails this year, wish they would put some of the old larger rails back in.

Blue has a really beginner terrain park that just opened at the bottom of paradise which is cool for beginners and for ppl who missed the terrain park option by taking paradise or other diamonds on left. pretty sick wall feature at bottom of "Terrain Run"

I just moved to Pittsburgh. Anyone from the Pittsburgh area ride stevens pass?
