Mud Runs and Park Fun
Posted Apr 22nd 2008 12:12PM by Dan Kellar - 23 comments
Saturday April 19th marked the 138th day of operation for Blue Mountain in the 2008 ski season and also the last.
I had a really fun morning with my parents, just skiing the 3 open runs in the 24 degree Celsius sunny weather then went home to recharge on the deck before heading out to the terrain park for some hiking.
When I arrived, all the work was complete so I went to work right away on the 5 features that were set up. After putting my teeth through my lip (I decided no one needed to see that) I took up the camera and took some pictures of the hard cores enjoying the end of the year:
First up was Pat Toronchuck, a first year park tech at blue who killed it this year. Here he is doing a 270 on the down rail:
Also out on the day was super woman shredder Jessica Warll. Here she is pictured mid-switch-up on the down:
The Day was great but I lost the rail passion as it wore on and convinced Pat that it would be a great idea to hike up and hit some mud patches:
Below is video of the longest mud runs i have ever witnessed or have done. I'm going to claim that they are the longest mud runs of all time until i see evidence to the contrary:
Well the ski year is over at Blue and the biking is about to start, so come out and enjoy it!
See you on the hill

of all the hills i have skied in the spring, Blue has always been the best by far for dirt ridding. there's been some springs where i'd ski more dirt than snow on the way down.
