The stretch of cold we had the last 36 hours has significantly helped. Everything seems to be resurfaced back to what it should be. It’s nice skiing on white snow again without lollipops marking dirt everywhere. Clouds moving out now, so visibility isn’t ideal, but the snow is like butter (Doug’s favorite color, food, girlfriend, etc) and the grooming is good again.

No shit. You remember how many sesame seeds were on your whopper bun in September 17th, 1996.

You should join a gym. Name 2 things that wont happen.

I'm pretty sure Schif meant to say "getting Razors open so the fucking race team wasnt set up all over the other 4 trails that are open to the public would make weekend mornings infinitely more fun." I think he was trying to be polite.

You're welcome and anytime.

Except McDonald's PlayPlace. The outdoor ones with the Grimace jail and the Mayor McCheese tower thingy destroyed the habitrail crap the kids these days have

Hope it was worth it! Can’t wait to ban you when I get home 😂😂😂

Razors opening would make weekend mornings infinitely more fun.

Well then don’t use the stats page at all if you aren’t gonna take it seriously.

In reality, BMR will close Razors, AND still invade every fucking trail except Vista and Burma.

That's exactly what I fucking meant. Those damn kids are a plague on that mountain the way it is now.

If you can make opening bell..you can sometimes get one if not two quick runs on razors before it’s closed to the race team...now a few times it’s been uber solid snow from the Urea they blow on it...back when they opened at 730am you could get 4 runs on razors before the race team got it. Once race season ends in March the public gets razors weekday mornings. Yes it’s arguably the best run south of Floyd’s folly but it was built specifically as the top race venue in mid Atlantic. You know now what I want to ski...nightmare to Dream Weaver and switchback..even sidewinder although I wish they brought back the school bus. That was rad.

At this point I'm just happy with cold air.

We used to cut the hospitals grass. Couple other places up there too. Before that park got redone it was kinda dead. Everything is better compared to being a kid. You can actually do stuff

Ok. Stats is serious business. I added another day since I wrote a trip report. Once I figure out what other days I skied I will update my stats!

fuck the race team

I just took a vacation day for thursday, will be there for opening bell, I will post a T.R. for you.

Update It doesn't work. You have to use another app to record stats. Just record stats here. Simple, easy, free.

This is factual. Although I haven’t been in the newer ones, for obvious reasons.

Palmerton is awesome. Much better as an adult as it was to me as a kid. There are some really good restaurants and bars, Claude’s is great, the parks are great, Blue is close, the AT and Lehigh Gap are close, relatively cheap to live.

Call me crazy but I like P Town. They have a nice park in the middle of town, is at the base of a mountain, a few decent restaurants, close to the LV, close to skiing, hiking and last but definitely not least....Claude's Creamery

Vintage Doug here exercising his unofficial Stat Manager powers. SaltLick get it together

Fun!

Did you deploy your avalung airbag?

Tell your pal to get out of the backseat.

Ain't today, ain't a picture either.

That’s what I like to hear.

Salty I see you updated your stats but there’s a problem...you only put in opening day and this past sausage Sunday 2.0 not the other 2-3 days you skied in between...behave.

For some reason Steeze only gets a 1 day ban for posting but I get a lifetime ban. I'll try to get to Blue Thursday night.

Only until 10:30 or 11ish. When ever the race team is done rutting it up. Spring weekdays on Razor's are the best.

Been looking there too. There are a lot of places for sale in carbon county. A few years ago I almost bought a mobile home in the park you can see from the top of Blue Mt.

Palmerton.

Did you see the forecast for Thursday night??? Too cold for mershed perterters..can get em from KFC instead and heat em up in the mercurewerve

However, the new modeling (FV3) that wasn't out earlier, has it hitting, which of course will happen because I have to go to Chicago that day...

Hot

I believe it's still within the valley area, as the mountains are immediately to the East. https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2018/01/09/utahs-air-quality-is-sickening-even-killing-locals-year-round-new-research-suggests/

Jobs ruin everything.

By Sunday morning maybe they’ll have another fun open.

It is one day. One day for every time he has posted that.

You should join the race team so you can ski razors weekend mornings.

Yes...
