Well, I'm working on joining the touring crew. Deals have too good to pass up. Picked up some Lange XT Free 130 LVs which are considerably lighter than my RS130s, have a tour mode (more cuff movement), and have tech inserts. Also, picked up Atomic (Salomon) Shift bindings which are a tech pin binding on the way up, and a true alpine toe/heel on the way down. They're going to be mounted on some Kastle FX96HPs in 180cm. It's not the lightest setup in the world, but all 3 pieces are compromises towards increase downhill performance. It will certainly be the lightest ski/binding/boot combo by far in my quiver. I'll get some skins sometime between now and next year. Also need to get them mounted.

The year we got no other snow except for one random dump in October. Great stuff! I've finally uploaded the full walk around:

That’s why I shop at Trader Joe’s these days. They only allow a few people in the store at a time. Line is 20-30 min but everyone 10’ + apart and my local TJs sells booze to (win!) Be safe all. By the way, I’m completely hammered now ... [emoji1782][emoji89][emoji1783]

Photos of the Lehigh Gap never get old to me 👌

That’s gotta be the stupidest life plan ever. Live in pennsy and work in nyc. So 5hrs/day is spent traveling to/from work. All because they get a bigger house. Idiots

Our president will probably start showing these graphs on log paper.

Im about to start making sanitizer from our pressure washing bleach. Got plenty of that.

Always think that overhang road is sweet.

A blast from the past for your reading pleasure while in quarantine... https://www.paskiandride.com/forums/topic/16775-20112012-day-number-1/?tab=comments#comment-282696

Rhode island is pulling over New Yorkers. Essentially banning them from their State.

New Balance is shifting production to masks.

it’s true

Mid to late 60s based on the cars? I believe the trestle came down in 68 so probably just before then.

I’ve been drinking jack and coke..you’re emojis look freaky woo woo.

I gave my night guys essential letterheads if they get pulled over.

Martz bus line has suspended service into Philly and NYC on the 25th. Which is a super good thing as tons of new yorkers commute between the poconos and NYC. Most of the NY commuters live in Monroe County. Amazingly enough, confirmed cases are under 100 still. Carbon county at 2.

Shutting down state borders probably should be the next step, as the exodus from the giant cities begins...

I went to Aldi on Wednesday and wore my n95 mask 😷. Most of the people in the store and all of the employees were wearing basic surgical masks. Limit 2 on mostly everything, except pre-packaged deli meats and cheese. Meat case was pretty picked over but managed to get two 3lb+ eye rounds and two chuck roasts.

@RidgeRacer and i have skied there.

I hadn't heard of that platform.

I'm going to start wearing my ski face mask.

The grass cutting season began today.

pretty much the same exact photo location now:

I am no covid expert. But both. I keep iso propyl alcohol in car with wipes I wear my wife’s gloves she wears when dyeing her hair. Cheap shit but a thousand or three per box I triple glove. Go shoppie shoppie. Also keep bleach solution in spray bottle to hit all the amazon boxes before bringing in and also in my car

That's some good work...

Maybe we'll have to do some touring in your familiar zones before Telluride next year

This is awesome! I feel like there is a learning curve, and I am definitely still learning. But it’s a great way to extend your season and get away from the crowds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sometime when you get really bored google “A pocono country place”. Its a huge development in tobyhanna that was built up, and their target audience was people from NY. over valued homes, mortgage shenanigans for those who really couldnt afford it, and the list goes on. Tons of empty homes there that people just walked away from. Place is a total shithole.

Idiots

Crazy how less than three weeks ago everybody was pissed that Blue was suspending midweek operations.

Backcountry rescues should be suspended while stay at home orders are in place. There's no reason why people should be out in the backcountry putting themselves and rescuers in jeopardy. If you're stupid enough to go out, then tough shit if you get yourself into trouble.

That’s well done. Thanks for sharing that!

October 30th 2011. We got a huge snow storm that year in October. I think we put up a TR. Will dig through the archives.

October...

The NY Times magazine used to have ads for pocono housing developments that say easy 90 minute commute to NYC. Yeah at 4am...a couple percent of Lehigh valley folks commute daily to the big Apple and a higher percentage on Stroudsburg area peeps.

Makes no fucking sense to me. None.

Isn't there a lockdown order in place? In other words they shouldn't be traveling anyway right?

Yesterday I ran to Giant for some food and there was a girl walking around in a full blown gas mask. I was legitimately startled when I saw her.

i have about another 3 weeks before i need to get worried about this, but its my understanding "landscapers" are essential, which makes 0 sense to me. I saw guys mulching in the development down the street. Essential my ass.

Better than YesPapi

It was something along the lines of “the virus can’t survive above 135 degrees, so turn your hairdryer on and point it towards your face and take deeps breathes of hot air” i like your version better though.

I'd be ok if I don't have to cut my grass for another month. I did trim some of the trees yesterday and today

Thats it. I grew up in that area and I can’t recall ever seeing anyone on it. We got measurable snow in Philly maybe once or twice a year. The lifts were still there. Apparently still going as of a few years ago. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/local/skiing-the-slopes-in-conshohocken/74155/

People are getting restless and the summer sun is calling their name.

Why would a girlfriend never happen? Come on man get your game up! You young, not fat, got hair and somewhat edumacated. Maybe GSS or Atomic can give you pointers. Be like a whole pandemic shutdown project for you. Good luck

Tony is the man! Spicy here in the covid corridor of jersey. Be well all!

Fun day for under the wire october turns at Jackson Frosthole. Parked at the bottom of Short hill road and skinned for some turns, then went over to Split Rock (Waterpark area?) and booted up for a few runs. Good day to just be outside and absorb some winter stoke.

Big day at split rock. Quickly started getting pretty sticky. Found a couple rocks and a pumpkin. RidgeRacer chewing up some mean vertical at split rock

Dan skiing some powder
