Hampton Inn about 3 miles from Montage works nice for my standards. Definitely the hotels I stay at the most.

I'm a Wyoming Valley expert! What are your standards?

Wanted to get back from Maryland in time to ski yesterday afternoon, but it didn't really work out, so I was determined to ski after work today. Left the house at about 625 and was on the lift at 650. Snow was hard and fast, and even though conditions weren't really bad at all, I didn't really have a great night. Started with a Nightweaver run, and was just working way too hard. Really felt it in the legs right away, and never found my groove, every run was a leg burner. After NM/DW headed back up and decided to hit Sidewinder. It was probably run of the night, found some decent conditions, especially on the sides. Next two runs were Lazy followed by Switchback, and they were both in pretty good shape too. After the Sidewinder run decided to avoid the Falls. The slope was in good shape, but the base and runout were like and ice rink. I nearly ate shit, lol. Was completely out of control when I tried to turn. So I skied the full Mile and down trough the park after Lazy. Decided to do a Paradise run to see what it was like, and it was just like everything else, hard with patches of ice, some areas of scraped together sugar on top. Back up the lift and got off at 735, there was a patroller forcing everyone to the right, apparently they swept and closed Paradise, Nightweaver, Razors, Challenge and Sidewinder, so I decided to ski over to run lower Widowmaker to Burma. More of the same conditions, and more of the same leg burning goodness. Got down to the double double area and there was another patroller warning everyone that if they continued they needed to be parked at the bottom because the lift was closed. Sure enough, got to the bottom at 745 to find them turning people away. Six runs for a quick session. One this is abundantly clear; I need to get a pair of boots that fit before I hurt myself, lol. Hoping to make at least one more after work session this week, but not sure what night(s). Thinking about hitting Buckman's tomorrow night to try on some boots.

Hey All, I'm back from a fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot early and only Antman was in the hizzle. Also in the house were Toast, Justo, therealKT, GSSucks, Ryan, Atomic Jeff, Root, JFDan, Johnny Law, slim, Indiggio, Schifdawg, Matt Edge, West Chester honeys and many more. The temperature to start was in the mid 20s with moderate winds making it feel a bit chilly..Eaf was also in the Hiz-ouse. First run the six pack made a lot of stops and skied challenge first was pretty good. Took the quad up next for nightmare Dreamweaver which was a top run very good. Back to six pack and Razors opened and I skied that and could barely tell there was once a bump course over the lower section. I didn't ski Main Street at all today but hit up switchback a bunch today and it was MSY mad steezy yo. Challenge was aight with the falls being rowdy..skied the whole lazy mile once and was slow. In the lot Root brought some fine meats and cheeses, beers were consumed, sun was soaked up and I managed a few lifestyle shots.

Yup and if blue can stay open longer they’ll start to get customers from other mountains that close down like round top, bear creek and Jack Frost.

I’ll take snow, but I’ll be happy with anything that’s not rain. Don’t want anything to quickly diminish the base and prompt any early closing ideas.

Snow might be back on the table for this week. We will see.

Another awesome morning. Early Switchback was ROTD. I think I saw or followed indiggio on switchback like 3 times lol. Park was good, snow was good, weather was money and a gang of PASRs. I only ended up riding for about a dozen runs and bounced by 1030. Enjoy a a run through the park, or become dizzy. Sorry. IMG_0590.MOV

Stellar day. I’ve got a bunch of pic and some video to post after my nap. Razors from 12-1:30 was my rotd. So much shenanigans

Conditions were great today (except for Falls). Main Street had the best snow on the mountain and NMDW was a close second. Great morning and nice to see them doing so well this far into March.

I think anything that is in the form of frozen precipitation will be a win. 4-8" of snow would be just fine with me. As always, the more the merrier.

The latest GFS model has NEPA high and dry. No real consensus at all yet.
