Whats the big fucking deal about where we go? there will be a lot of talk about it, and then, all of a sudden its opening day at Blue. We might as well plan the party to be held on the moon, since the likely hood of either gathering has an equal chance of happening. For the record, i'm not against getting together with any of you weirdos. I think it would be a good time. maybe there is like an adult Chucky Cheeses somewhere we could agree upon.

Did somebody say Camelback?

Saturday, May 5th, a lift in PA will be spinning.

I was finishing some errands and helping my mom at her house yesterday. As I’m about to leave I say “mom I think gonna chase some snow tomorrow.” She turns around, rolls her eyes and asked a where, I say Vermont. “Anthony, Are you an idiot?” 330 wake up call, pulled outta my complex by 415 and was pulled over at 5 under a lame circumstance. That being said the officer was great. He changed my violation so I didn’t have to appear in court and the fine was only $50 so a big thank you to him. I pulled into the lot at 826. Not bad considering being pulled over and stopping for a coffee/bathroom. On the first lift up right now. apologies for the large font

LMAO At your advice, I might lower my car, throw on a fartcan and head up.

If I recall it was a flat $150. And he got the charge reduced to something with no points (was speeding of 42 in a 25, trap zone where the limit drops from 40 to 25) and was about $100 cheaper. So net cost was $50 and a vacation day saved, as well as no insurance increase.

That place sucks too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If i remember correctly, the last time they did this, it was the rails that connected the patches of snow.

trump voters weren't invited

Sounds like both are.

you should always go to court to fight a speeding ticket. I actually just paid a lawyer to go to court for me last spring when I got a ticket. Was worth it so I didn't have to burn a day off work.

I'm just repeating what the officer told me. He changed my violation from speeding which would have come with points, to a different violation (reckless driving I believe), which doesn't come with points and only a $50 fine. For sure. The day trip was an odd circumstance and I'm not against doing them occasionally. But I'm thinking of a couple Fri- Sat trips, plus Ive never been to Hunter and would like to check it out. And like you said the added bonus of early/late season JFBB is just a perk.

I'm thinking about picking up a "DRIFTER" Peak Pass. Anybody else getting a Peak Pass? It would be nice to have a pass to Mount Snow, JFBB and Hunter. I'm already thinking about an early, middle and late season 2/3 day trips up to Snow next season.

I heard conditions were excellent there though.

We were sitting in a booth there a while back and a cockroach ran right across the top ledge. Haven't been back since...

It was a good time.

We're not just going to do a cookout/hangout at my place like we did this past year?!?

I’ll try to organize a fall PASR bar night at the Fox and Hound for the Philly folks and maybe a Lehigh valley one perhaps at the Tally Hoe in Bethlehem n

I guess ill pick up where I left off, on my first lift ride. I took 3 warm up runs, just trying to get a feel of what they had open and what they didn't have open. They pretty much had the whole main face open which was nice. There were a decent amount of snow/ice chunk the size of softballs to start the morning which was a little surprising considering how I was blown away by their grooming my last trip. After a couple runs on the main face I then went over to Carinthia, which is the small face that they have dedicated to only terrain parks served by a HS quad. I did WAY more runs then I was planning to over there. I didn't want to take too many chances in the park since I had a 4ish hour ride home, but that thought process quickly went out the window. I wish i would've taken some pics or videos but I unfortunately did not. The park was great, a solid mix of medium to large rails with small to medium sized jumps all mixed into (1) long trail. Fantastic! I noticed this one guy who was really, REALLY good and waited a minute at the top to follow him and his crew down. By far the best terrain park snowboarding ive seen in person. Im sure you skiers can relate whether its GS, moguls(Jonnylaw seeing Moseley) or terrain parks, but you realize theres levels to this. And ill NEVER be on that level. Amazing to see and motivating to be honest. After about 10 runs over in the terrain parks I decided that was enough risk taking for the day/season and headed over to the North Face for some diamond runs before lunch. I did about 3-4 runs over there, unfortunately the fixed grip triple is less than ideal. THE LATTE PLACE WAS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON!! Ya boy was an angry elf!! ( not really, but i settled for a coffee lol). Took a 30 minute coffee/lunch/420 break and was back on the snow for my final runs of the season. I kept it low key by just doing a bunch of green and blue runs for the rest of the afternoon. not much to speak of to be honest. All in all i did 28 runs in about 6 hours. (2) things. A) The Detachable 6pack burble chairlift is soooo smooth. I love that lift. But at about 2pm the chairs were seemingly having trouble detaching and reattaching?? Is this a potential problem with detachables? Maybe that wasn't the issue but it sure seemed like it. Ill just say ive never seen a chairlift "push started" before. No really there was a guy pushing the chairs thru the terminal for a time while it was closed and a whole lot of banging around by a mechanic in the overhead area of the lift. I left the snow around 240 and pulled outta the parking lot by 3. It was a fantastic day and I would definitely take another day trip up here in the future. Granted under special circumstances such as the very beginning or end of a season. Thanks for reading my trip reports this season!

A bit firm at first, but softened up nicely. 15 runs then world class tailgate party. Met some super friendly and kind folk in Maine on 4/20 and even more today

I let them rust so I don’t have to wax
