Best conditions that I have ever skied. Skied Mount Snow on Thursday. Snow was perfect all day. Powder and soft bumps. North face was closed because of wind. Skied Bromley on Friday to avoid the $17 lift ticket crowds. Traffic leaving the Snow lake lodge was crazy. It looked like traffic going to the shore. After we passed the Mount snow main entrance it was clear sailing to Bromley. Drove passed Stratton on the way. Arrived at bromley around 9:30. Parking lot was empty and so was the lodge. It was great skiing and the crowds reminded me of Jack Frost late season. We were wearing Eagles gear and had a bunch of people from Philly area approach us and talk. One was a retired ski patroller from Blue. My son going down Glade at Bromley. Trail was a Blue full of small bumps. We also took a few runs in the real glades at Mount Snow the next day. Saturday at Mount snow was crowed but still a great day. Spent more time in lines but still got a bunch of runs in each day. Snow Lake Lodge did the job. It is out of date and walls are paper thin but it does the job. For the low price and location it was perfect for our trip. We went in the hot tub after asking each day. Snow Lake Lodge is for all of the blue collar skiers. It is like the lower deck of the Titanic. All of the rich stuffy people stay at the Grand Summit Lodge. The Snow Lake Lodge is the fun party location. People were really nice and offering us beers in the hot tub.

Hey All, I’m back from a fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. The drive up was easy and there was less snow at blue than in the Lehigh valley when I arrived at 740am. Maybe an inch. In the house were Atomic Jeff, Toast, Johnny law, Shadows, Ryan, Matt Edge, Nastar Glenn and VTMark. First civilian six pack and started with a few razors runs. Perfectly groomed with an inch or so of dense fresh. Was nice and a nice cushion for the pushing. Sidewinder was nice especially the top section and nightmare to dream weaver and challenge yielded fresh as well. It was so empty the first hour that only 3-4 chairs had people on them looking up the entire six pack line. Luckily soon thereafter you couldn’t even see up to the peak as it was dumping i got freshies on switchback and x-ing..around 10 we went to the lot for an hour or so to drink and have snacks then went back out and it was deeper and still really smooth still some fresh swaths of Purd on Razorback. Switchback made a nice bathroom and some skies tbar line while I got titties deep on widow maker. Went to slope side for lunch had tomato bisque and a beef quesadilla sandwich that came with fries and double jack and coke. After lunch did 4-5 more runs including midway to lower main, a couple razors runs and sidewinder. Was getting a little choppier and snow continued to fall hard. I’m guessing about 4” of snow at Blue when I left a little after 2pm. The drive home was an adventure. I took the turnpike which luckily was empty but getting to the turnpike plenty of joe dirt types were driving reckless in pickup trucks saw one guy spin out hard and go into a ditch. A disabled truck partially blocking the off ramp at Lehigh valley luckily got towed to the side then right where I live another truck stuck on a hill significantly more snow in the A than at Blue..I’ll see official measurements in a minute but easily 8-9” out there and very low visibility. 1-2” an hour snowfall for sure. This could end up being the whopper we all hoped for..JADIP!!!

Perfect morning corduroy.

Another good Pow-Day Wednesday! We were talking on the lift today about how many pow days there have been this year. I looked back at my stats and have 7 days of 3" or more at Blue, not including the 8" storm that they groomed to perfection the next day. 2 days of about 2". so 9 days at Blue, and a 20" day at Belleayre. It's been a good season.

Headed up to Kmart for an extended St. Patty’s weekend with the family. Saturday’s conditions were awesome on the tour de K, they had gotten 3’ plus last week with close to 6’ in March. Highlights were some pow stashes in the low angle trees at Ramshead to introduce my daughters boyfriend to glade riding. Niko and I hit some nice tree as as well and ended up at Bear bashing pow bumps on OL and Devils Fiddle. It was my first time riding Devils and was pretty tech with some nice rocks in between . Ended the day with many Fiddleheads at the Wobbly Barn. Even sunnier on Sunday, but still cool with a high in the low 20’s to preserve the snow. We resumed the tour which working from bear across skyeship back to K-1. Smooth grippy groomers and cruising Great Eastern was welcome relief as my bones were feeling a bit beat up from the day before. Ended the day at Long Trail brewing. Monday I left them on there own in the morning to head up to Moosalamoo forest for some XC, did a little over 5 ish miles on the Catamount trail from Widows Clearing. My original plan was to knock off another Tony Godwin trail but I realized Moosalamoo peak was a little over ambitious (especially with no set tracks) and just did an out and back. I head back to K and parked at sky ship and met the crew at the mid station Jerk shack for a zero gravity cone head ale and some goat chili before doing a few runs . Very cool to cruise back great eastern to the car. They texted me on the way back they were doing a growler fill at Killington Beer Company. We saw a sign for it on the access road the day before so we checked it out, great beers with some funny takes on K trail names, double DIPA, etc. Yesterday was the warmest of the days with a high of high thirties which softened the bumps up just enough to jump in and out with some rubber legs. Spent some time in stash and other parks noodling around. Mrs snowbunski and I headed up to the summit lodge around 11 for a cocktail. there was a guy next to us downloading vids to his laptop and after talking to him for a bit I remembered seeing a TGR trailer at the base and put 2 and 2 together. A few minutes later a bunch of folks wander in with serious goggle tans and stoke stank so I asked them if they had change for a nickel and knew Bart, lol. It ends up they were going to all the EC Ikon resort doing shoots. Ski till i die dude (Alex?) was with them also so I told him to come back down to blue again and he was into it. It was a great weekend, awesome snow, and beers with the family, pics to follow Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Left around 3. Took a bit getting back. Line of cars at the bottom of blue. This is some icy road crap- people are stupid for driving sedans around. Astro did fine. Bethlehem got a decent amount. Had to haul into a parking spot its deep. Great day. Great lunch. Good little group of friends today. Jadip and all that

She looks like a mom who skis.

Today was awesome, everything was super perfect....then I got stuck on 78 for three and a half hours when some tractor trailers took a group shit but just one of those early runs was worth it.

I believe it. I’ll get a ruler out and check later. It’s up in my bedroom right now... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

lol tracked out isn't fun...that's when we leave. conditions were great today. Absolutely nobody for the first 3 hours. Shit...Sidewinder was untouched for the first 3 lift rides until Matt Edge skied it.

Just bought a condo in West Windsor. Closing April 12, so I reckon the snow will be gone by the time I make it back to PA to pack up my apartment.

You would have a 14" ruler

Nice report!!! BART is troll but he has five pennies

I move to VT and you get a snowstorm and we don't. Harumph. Just kidding! Hope everyone enjoys the snow at some point, if not today then tomorrow!

Heading up tonight. Skiing Mount Snow Thursday and Saturday. Bromley Friday. 4'10 feet of snow in last 7 days and still snowing. Wife and Son are going. Getting pumped.

I never look in the mirror once I have my gear on. I'm in too big a hurry to get out and ski.

Looks like a great trip. I really like Bear Mountain

Yeeeeehaaaaaa. I will be there tomorrow. Just thought the ride home would be a little too risky today

Eh so what, we'll be on that tomorrow morning here.

Nice report!!!

476 was pretty empty from Mahoning valley to Lehigh valley but the 2” an hour is making things rough.

4” when I left probably 6-7” so far and gonna snow several more hours.

SWEET PICS! Long Trail! I was there Sunday, parked at Bear Mtn. ; MAN it was cold and windy to start the day but it warmed up nice after lunch. I'm strictly a groomer-sloth, so I doubt we crossed paths. Looks like an awesome trip!

Annnnd maybe you should look at the web cam

These are all things that went through my mind as well. 70 miles home today would be tough. i thought there were more people on the roads this morning than there should have been. Thats what happens when you wake up and not much precip is falling. Excuses, excuses. still wish i was there. Oh, and of course my meeting never happened.

Sounds like an awesome place in an awesome location! congrats Sally. Sidenote: you seem really cool and I wish I would have been able to introduce myself before you moved. Back on topic....I'm leaving the office. We already have 3+ inches at a quick glance.

Sitting this one out, as well. Like Root said, I have been able to ride past 3 storms. Had everything packed and ready, but roads super sketch here in Upper Bucks County. I saw one plow truck on our road since 6am, and we're on a state road. Worried more about driving home. I will be there tomorrow and 1 day this weekend. Have fun all. ❄️⛷

Good day to merder the perder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds awesome! Congrats!

Yeah, crazy, right!? I didn't have a lot to spend so my options were pretty limited, then I got really lucky. It's an absolutely TINY place, (1 br with a little loft) but really cute and in an amazing location. 30 minutes fro Okemo and right on the Ascutney mountain bike trail network. I can't believe I managed to stick the landing after all this upheaval. Anyway, now my adult responsibilities are over and I can ski and drink beer until the snow melts!

Thankfully, there's a timeout on the stream.

Congrats on the new place Sally! That's awesome.

Currently drooling on the keyboard while watching the webcams...

You can always make the drive down here to partake in the Snow

Me neither. It's gets fun when it's tracked up. I also didn't want to commit to spending the whole day out. Tomorrow will be an AM session and back home for a late lunch.

Don't want to risk the drive home today. May well be there tomorrow.

That's part of the reason why I passed on this one. I successfully was able to ride the last 3 storms and I don't want to see my luck run out so late in the season. With Jersey looking at more snow than PA again, I took a safety for today, and tomorrow off. Part of the reason is I also didn't want to reschedule two meetings I run again again again but that's a small part. Timing, luck and NJ getting more snow and not knowing how to clear roads.

wow TFTI

You give a lot of shout outs. I like it

Buying 170 RTMs? yeah.

Big mistake

Oh...and it did smell like cow shit.

Resurrection of another great thread. There's lots of powdees outside. My coworker called it powdees instead of freshies so that's what I've been calling it all week. My 170s are in the car but I didn't bring my boots, helmet, goggles, GoPro or snow pants. So I won't be skiing this week.

Are you sure NMSki isn’t out there??
