Same as yesterday. Nice smooth and grippy. Empty

Tomorrow morning. So excited the bottom lodge isopen👍👍

I got some slalom turns in tonight since nobody else was going to be up, so I could ski Lazy and make short turns. Ended up seeing Edge and the dude4bides. They were grinding the spine.

"Fewer" big words. 🙂

yes

Great night tonight. Made decent time on the drive and was on the snow by 530. Very first run I bust my *ss in the come around park, right to the hip. A very verbal "ouch" was let out while laying on the snow. After my 7th run I see NM,GSS,Jeff and Shadows and took 3 lift rides, 2 runs with them then 3 more by myself. Pretty damn good conditions all around, beautiful night/ blowing snow like crazy and no lift lines/ No complaints from me. Story time- I was coming down Homestretch when I noticed NM,GSS,Jeff and Shadows all standing right next to each other at snows edge, eventually all see me riding toward and right past them with my hand high in the air for high five annd.....NOTHING. Thanks guys, thanks.

Was turning plenty tonight...

Sweet deals has a $100 gift card for $50 plus fees, comes out to 53 and change. It says it's for Camelback Lodge and does not specifically mention lift tickets, so buyer beware. I bought one, figuring worst case scenario I can use it to get a $50 on a room to take my kids one night so they can waterpark it up, I'm always watching for a deal on that anyway. 17 left. https://www.sweetdeals.com/allentown/9000056-camelback-lodge

Sucks to suck. This weekend might not even be a washout. Rain will likely end Saturday morning and Sunday doesn’t look bad. I’m still hopeful to ski both days.

Ok

Sorry I’ll be washing my hair.

By the way The Beagles have our NYC debut this Saturday night in case anyone will be up that way. Playing New Old Rock Deli from 9 to 945 pm

Way to get after it Root!!!

Might be a little light snow tomorrow am. Nothing crazy, but a little fresh on top of the slopes would be another nice bonus for December.

No disagreements from me. Hes definitely the GOAT.

Dude I cant see shit with my kid goggles.

Conditions were 10/10 for night skiing. It was fast, smooth, firm, and extremely grippy. I could push as hard as I wanted to on Main Street. My favorite kind of conditions at Blue where I can really load up the ski. Skied for 1h 45m with NM, GSS, GSS and a little with Antman. JohnnyLaw was missed as I know he loves these conditions as well.

Also, Christmas Wrapping.

You don’t ski razors anyway. The whole crew went down razors and once toast went over the headwall, you skirted over to paradise. This morning was real fun. Skied 9:30-12 Back at it tomorrow morning. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Facts check out, you dont turn, kinda like rail road tracks and you carry a whole lot of mass.

Mele Kalikimaka is a pretty awesome tune as well. I'd put that right behind I saw three ships.

Deep pow. Main Street is $$$

Lazy is sexy this morning. Grooming is superb on trails that have been open. New trails are good but firm. Blowing on Challenge and paradise.

The tree that used to be in the middle of Tannenbaum. it was a fir tree, so its not deciduous, but i always thought it was cool that they left it there in the middle of the trail for people to run into. It would have been neat if they could have put Christmas lights on it. It got taken down by a storm a bunch of years ago. Trees in the Poconos dont have deep roots because of all the rock, so they are susceptible to being blown over by strong winds. Many years ago RidgeRacer pointed out that Tannenbaum is German for fir tree, which also can be loosely translated to "Christmas Tree", hence the song "O Tannenbaum", which the modern day lyrics were written in 1824, by Ernst Anschütz. Anschütz based his text on a 16th-century Silesian folk song by Melchior Franck, "Ach Tannenbaum". August Zarnack in 1819 wrote a tragic love song inspired by this folk song, taking the evergreen, "faithful" fir tree as contrasting with a faithless lover. The folk song first became associated with Christmas with Anschütz, who added two verses of his own to the first, traditional verse. The custom of the Christmas tree developed in the course of the 19th century, and the song came to be seen as a Christmas carol. Anschütz's version still had treu (true, faithful) as the adjective describing the fir's leaves (needles), harking back to the contrast to the faithless maiden of the folk song. This was changed to grün (green) at some point in the 20th century, after the song had come to be associated with Christmas. this reminds me that i have done very little Christmas shopping, and that bugs the crap out of me. However, i am fairly positive i am getting new ski socks for Christmas, so i am very excited about that.

I thought you didn't like to involve science in these discussions. You must be a liberal arts professor.
