1st lap of the season this AM. Mellow skin and short meadow skip to test the surface. Came down wet n dense yesterday, dried out overnight with a nice fluffy finish. Got another inch this AM for a total of 5-6" at the house and prolly closer to 8-9" up top. Gonna try to get out this afternoon for a higher elevation lap. Too dark for pix this AM. My deck as of 8AM.

@theprogram4 this is gonna sound sacrilegious, but I've been into DVR-ing games lately. I never thought I'd get to that point, but my need to go on outdoor adventures can't be limited by 1:00 games anymore. I slam my head into the corporate world throughout the week too much to be locked inside for the 2 days I get to do whatever I want. in other news, some elk stoke....still technically PA....

Afternoon skin. Went to the top of Madonna II lift. Ugly enough that I skied about 300 yards hitting bottom about 25% of the time, next 100 or so was link 2 turns, side step for a bit, repeat. Last 100 or so I toted the skis down. If I was 130 lbs or if the trails were golf course fairways, it was skiable to the bottom of Madonna I lift. Legs felt great, lungs pretty good. I'm burning the Cochise's. Diagnosis: terminal slop.

Guns are on!!!!

Maybe I'll head up to NEPA one weekend this year and bring a tray to the lower lot on my way back

Guns are blowing on Main Street.

It looks like a business card again this year, I'd say approximately 3.5 x 2 inches, give or take a few millimeters.

Same here in west Chester, snowing pretty hard. Doesn't look like it'll last long though

Malvern's the place to be. Malvern has a Target, many many single family homes, and a good Chinese place that does a lunch buffet. Malvern got a snow squall today and is where Schif's aunt lives. NMSki was in Malvern today, but Toast wasn't. TP4 is in Malvern now and will be tomorrow, and JFDan will be in Malvern on Monday morning. Indiggio almost took a job in Malvern, Justin quit a job in Malvern, and NMSki used to work in Malvern. Malvern is a nice place to meet friends for supper, and is probably a good location for an impromptu PASR night.

Had a late morning PT appt so couldn’t get up to Eldora for opening as I usually do. The canyon has been under construction for a long while and is supposed to continue until next summer. Mon-Thurs full closure 10-2. Friday’s it’s open so I didn’t think anything about delays. 4 different flag men stops and it took me an extra 40 min to get there. Snow was in bad shape lots of wind and no additional snow had the trails that were opened all scoured and ice. Ended up only doing 4 runs since it was so crappy. I am almost sorry I got the Ikon Pass since I mostly got it for Eldora. But dealing with that canyon construction is a real pain in the ass. Once Mary Jane opens I may start going up there more since it would only take an extra 30 min from my new Eldora commute time. Looks dry here for a while. We need a freshening up of snow.

Owing to perspective, from age and experience. If I were like 60 years younger yes maybe it would be. Pic below is what I saw, webcam view has now changed. Nice to see top to bottom snow of the natural variety.

Now Ain't that Purdy?....

The Elk Facebook post says snowmaking to begin tonight....

That Webcam is a fantastic sight!

That would be impossible considering it's a bye week

Do you really think I forget passwords or anything.

Blue Mountain Firing Up Snow Guns on Friday Night

A snow shower just came through as I was making coffee this morning. First flakes I've seen of the season! Stoke market is rising!

I wish

That was awesome and there was perder in Malvern today. Thanks for the cliff notes

What's a Malvern?

Or ski BB with me.

That makes no sense. Oh, wait....camelback. Got it.

Who is poaching it from below the main lodge tomorrow?

Yup your first PASR day was great.

Camelback has announced that they’re firing up the guns Tuesday night!!!!

The millennial chick I hangout with always answers questions with,”I mean” this thread makes me want to drink.

Not all they're grabbing!

Hellllll no Are you and Salty grabbing supper?

Looks like reporters are there and the guns are to show off. Not all of the guns are on right now. Nothing on Main Street yet. Stoke is rising. I'll be watching this all night while drinking copious amounts of beer.

JFDan was telling me Malvern was a nice place to meet @saltyant for supper

I have major anxiety that my pass won’t work. I guess I need to buy some beer for the lot.

this may very well be the most excited I've been to ski at blue in a long time.

I feel an opening next weekend in my loins

Looks like every night except Monday can snow making [emoji1694] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just noticed that. Blue should be around the 10pm range

That was so messed up.

@GrilledSteezeSandwich and I had an intelligent and interesting conversation with @RajeevGuptaSucheeta a few months ago until @toast21602 said it was too stupid and locked the thread. Then @RajeevGuptaSucheeta disappeared never to be heard from again. One day I plan to make a pilgrimage to the Tobyhanna Dunkin Donuts to learn how they cook the donuts.

Doug forgot the password

There was a poster that got really angry about that a few years ago. I can't remember their name but I don't think they posted much after that. Lol

See you Sunday?

Have fun at killington and post a report!!

This is great!!!

Nah you’ll miss my posts.

Freedom at BB.

It’s been >24 hours. Their social media and marketing are terrible.
