Hah well if I weren't using my vacation for my honeymoon, we'd be there. But Matt had to be a jerk and propose and wreck EVERYTHING hahah just kidding.

I'm still half hoping that one of my clients will take me there since they're a big sponsor of it.. at least they usually are so I'm assuming they still are. I've told my supervisor on the account that if there's any talk of going for a market visit or anything during it, to try to get me in on it haha. But they didn't go last year, and the way things are this year, I'm assuming it's not going to happen.

haha here's why i love being part time...
 
i get three weeks worth of vacation, and i'm using them as follows:
 
one week in april (telus). then i'm giong to switch a couple shifts, and i will be in BC from april 8 to april 26.
 
one week in june (honeymoon). then i'm going to switch a coupld shifts, and i can have june 2 to june 19 off.
 
one week in august (back to BC for family time). switch a couple shifts and i should have another three weeks, or thereabouts.

well, don't forget you already had a week off for florida...
 
this will probably be the last year i get to take off this much.. by the end of it all, i'll have taken almost two months off... but at least that means i'll get to make some money.

After such a promising start to the season, I only got out maybe 10 times.  And just when I was starting to learn to use the park!  I give up.  Now I'm looking forward to getting on my bike. 
Don't Panic!

Has anyone been up to Blue within the last week?  Just curious about the conditions as I've only been 3 times this year (brutal, I know), and was hoping to get some more time in during reading week.

I think they don't post an end date because what if it gets cold & snowy again? I know, very unlikely.. but if it did, they'd want to capitalize. Night skiing ends Sunday, so I'm guessing they'll be winding it down over the next week or so? Depending on how much snow they manage to keep around. They still somehow have 30/36 runs open.. even though it's corn snow.. ew.. and ow if you're wearing a tshirt!

Looking at the web-cams, it seems like they still have halfway decent coverage..

Anyone else make it up over the Easter weekend? 
 
A friend of mine pleaded with me to go on Friday and I'm really glad I did.... they hadn't been open since the 30cm dumping they got so there was plenty of natural snow, and the moguls.. oh the moguls!  They hadn't been groomed and it was awesome!!!  Towards the end of the day the fluffy stuff had been scraped off in parts, but it was also getting warmer/softer so it was a ton of fun..
 
That's it for me this year though... I'm pretty sad :(

Woah.. I just got an email from Blue.. they're open this weekend! Although it says "weather permitting".. but still.. crazy! They even say the Telus park is going to be open. Maybe I'll make it to Telus after all.. haha

I'm hoping they open tomorrow..  I know MSLM has its grand opening on the 11th for the 09-10 season, so I'm hoping Blue Mountain will be the same..  Man, figuring out road travel plans from Toronto to Blue and back is EXHAUSTING!!  I should definitely get a portable GPS NAV on my person..  Much easier then writing directions down..  Or studying the map, at least... 

Anyone driving up to Blue tomorrow (if its opening, of course)??  If so, I'll put in for gas and a pint at the village! :D :D!!

EDIT** ~ Looks like Blue is opening up tomorrow!  I can't even imagine how busy that place is gonna be, haha.  Who's down??

I'll be at Blue Mountain this Saturday for the day.  Getting back into the basics to start off the season.  I've been boarding since 03, and I'm taking the CASI level 1 in 2 weeks.  If anyone wants to link up at blue for hi-5's and fun, post at my profile.

it was getting pretty icy by last night, but there were some sweet spots. nice to know i haven't forgotten how to ride! but it's pretty pathetic that our first day out is DECEMBER 17... lame!!
 
also impressed they were staying open for night riding last night... with two lifts open...

i may head up sunday for some night riding with the good old 5x7...

This might be a stupid question, but it's mainly just to clear up any confusion on my end.  With the Blue Mountain's 5x7's, they say they cannot be used from Dec 21 '09 through Jan 1 '10 during the day time hours, but does that condition include the evening hours as well?? 

I only ask because I'd like to go up to Blue this wednesday, but remembering that the date falls along during their 2 week restriction, I wanna know if I can use it during the evening hours...
