Big SNOW Conditions and TRs

[Sbob]

The Blue Mountain crew was there last Saturday. Seed their own bumps.

How were the bumps? Looks like I am out for tomorrow.

What's this air called? "Pole 2 nuts"?

That looks fun as hell.

That looks fun as hell.

It was, there probably was a dozen of us. The bump line didn’t take long to set. Follow the leader and make small piles.
The staff was helpful keeping the newbie’s away. A few times people wandered into by accident.


I had invites earlier in the summer but was tired up.
I think the crew is done for the season. Probably next summer they’ll be back at it.

Big SNOW had a booth at Snowbound Expo in Boston this weekend. There were 50% off coupons this time. I snagged one.

I skied yesterday

Huh, how did that get there?

I made my second-ever visit to Big Snow on Monday, also marking my first-ever August ski day.

After 2 enjoyable runs from the top on the non-park side, the unload on third chair ride ended my day when the skier to my left on the lift wanted turned right go to the park side and skied over my tips trying to get there. My attempted wedge to slow to let him pass in front of me wasn't going to happen at that point and I went down awkwardly. My left knee was definitely done skiing for the day, and I got a sled ride down. Once I was down and confident that things probably weren't too serious, I sent my daughter back out for more runs while I sat in the ski patrol room icing it and chatting with the patroller. I was able to walk gently on it after a little bit so when my daughter was done skiing, we went on with the rest of our plans for the day: Nationals-Yankees in the Bronx. My knee stayed sore and stiff, supported well enough to walk carefully by the soft knee brace I had on for skiing.

I visited the ortho urgent care on Tuesday. The PA was confident nothing is torn, ordered an X-ray (clean) and diagnosed it as a sprain. It's slowly improving and hopefully will continue to do so. Unless there's more going on than I think, I should be ready to go well before the snow guns fire up around here.

That stinks.
Glad you are ok
