Negative for covid-19. Time to start drinking.

Why would anyone go through all that hassle to ski in Vermont when you can drive just a little bit further and hit Elk?

I think you should make other plans.

Don't feed the troll. We're doing the slopeside take out Thanksgiving thing. Gotta support my boy blue during these tough times.

You've gotta be in heaven since you are mr. analysis. Crunching the numbers for the best deal was getting too easy, now you have a new challenge with the travel restrictions!

I once was hanging w/ bumper friend who we affectionately nicknamed ‘Tito’ after the potato drink at the fancy bar up top. Must have dropped $150 on said potato drinks. Rough morning at blue the true the next day... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just getting some down to cover the grass/dirt and cool the ground helps in the long run, even if it's not full coverage. Gotta make snow while the temps permit!

Blue does care about us. They have a season passholders party, reasonable priced season passes and listen to our input. Blue cares about all their customers. Especially season passholders. I bet the majority of us spend money at slopeside, the lower lot cafeteria, in the ski shop and some even do lessons for kids or race lessons. We also are opinion leaders amoung our more casual skiing friends and family who come to Blue and buy tickets, food and rentals.

I figure it was the possibility of three day ticket sales and a hot cocoa that got them to do it. They don't care about you pass holders - especially the ones that tailgate - they got your $. Willing to up the ante and buy separate cocoa for each daughter if they open tomorrow. 6 pack should be nice and spacious riding up in a group of 3.

Gotta watch out for the helicopters patrolling plates. I saw it on PASR so it must be true.

Or more likely “say” you quarantined at home for 14 days... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Man, you gotta get to Kauai:

Kauai is the one main island I haven’t made it to yet. There are some hikes there I hope to get back and do. More time on Maui is also needed, and even the Big Island. I wouldn’t need another visit to Oahu except that I have a cousin there now, my kids haven’t been, and I wouldn’t feel right without a respects trip to the Arizona memorial. I badly wanted to hike both Haiku Stairs and Sacred Falls but both are closed and off limits and I wasn’t feeling rebellious enough. My favorite hike on Oahu was Likeke Falls. I miss Hawaii.

Crawford County, the county to the Northwest of Venango seems to be the culprit for the strange lines. In March 1829 the county was defined as: Beginning at the N. E. corner of a tract in the name of James Gibson on the line of Erie county, being the N. E. corner of [Cussewago Twp.]; thence south to the S. E. corner of a tract in the name of E. Spencer; thence east to the N. E. corner of Thomas Campbell's tract, on French Creek; thence across said Creek to the N. W. corner of A. Humes' tract; thence east along the north line of said tract and F. Rasburg's to the N. E. corner of the last; thence south to the N. W. corner of P. Eck's; thence E. to the N. E. corner of a tract in the name of G. Eck; thence north to the south line of a tract in the name of Israel Israel; thence east, north and west by the lines of sundry tracts to the S. E. corner of a tract in the name of N. Pryer or Ralph Snow; thence north to French Creek; thence across the same to the S. W. corner of a tract in the name of William McArthur's heirs; thence north by the same and donation land to the Erie County line; thence west by the said line to the place of beginning. Looks like they were taking into account tracts of land along the border.

shitty image resolution?

It's snowing at Elk. The guns are in position and the West Slope chair is running......

Plan it.@toast21602 too.

Nice...you and all the PASRs should post thanksgiving dinner pictures in my Food thread.

Frankly I'd rather be sliding down a snow covered mountain - W.C. Live2Ski

You're not allowed, there's a rumour going around that Blue will deactivate your season pass until you complete quarantine. I read it in a Facebook meme so it must be true.

MA has a negative test that was administered within 3 days of you traveling there. So the trick is to get tested and if you manage to get the test results within 68 hours to drive like hell to cross the boarder [emoji14] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If i remember correctly, you can quarantine for 7 days and have a negative test within 72 hours of traveling to VT. I'm too lazy to go look it up again though.

Killington, Wachusett and Cataloochie, NC all opened today I believe.

He and Levine have said no more lockdowns. It’s not feasible without a major government stimulus which isn’t happening. Hey 7,000 cases a day and indoor dining and bars are still open along with schools and kids sports. If you wanna be locked down you can impose a self lockdown.

This is correct. They said targeted closures as necessary but nothing broadly implemented state-wide (if I remember correctly). Definitely more hopeful with the vaccine news, but it will still be a long ride...

He and Ms. Levine have both said no yellow/orange /red restriction will be re-instated, time will tell...

Nah, this is the Stairway to Heaven

This is what he has been saying for a while, but I'm glad to see that it has been widely reported now.

Just an FYI when being questioned by various governors today, President elect Biden said there would be no national shutdown.

I get the circled part...it appears to run along the ridge. I can't figure the rest of the stairway though.

Believe it or not, it is actually the stairway to heaven.

on the interview they did with the news last night, the PR person seemed pretty confident when she said that it should be fine in the warm temps as long as it isn't groomed.

Some might melt for sure but when they get a chance to fire up the guns again they will be in a much better place than if they had not done anything over the past day and a half.

Nobody messed up. Early season snow making is high risk - high reward. You gotta go for it when you can. If BB wouldn't have been Vailed, we'd be skiing there this weekend.

Shrimp is gross so if that's the main thing you're putting out in your super spread it's the best way to get myself and people like me to avoid your party. Maybe that's what they were going for there.

Invites went out a few weeks ago. Maybe yours got lost in the mail along with 6 million Trump ballots? 19,000th post!

I was personally at these peaceful protests in Philadelphia and I can promise you MAJORITY of people (I saw as I wondered through center city) had masks on. Again, I was not every single spot in Philly so yes media or social media coverage could have shown different. Plus anyone wo spits into each others faces is gross. pandemic or not, that's gross.

My wife was telling me last night that she got volunteered to be on the vaccination task force at her hospital, but the interesting thing is that they have an actual timeline in which she as well as many others at her hospital will get the vaccine sometime in December. Not exactly breaking news since this is all over the media, but that its happening in real life is exciting to me. I'm jealous that she'll be able to do whatever the fuck she wants and I'll still have to pretend like I'm being careful!

And this was the year I wanted to go back to Stowe and maybe hit Whiteface with PARidge.
