Got on the snow around 930 to the sixer running which is always a good sign. 20 or so but full sun made it mad comfy. Snow is a bit crunchy but mostly good firm hardpack. Upper headwalls of razors and challenge were good crumbles where you can give it 3/4 edge pressure plus there are two sort of lips that are perfect for high speed airs. Upper main was the best snow on the hill but lower is sloppy in a classic blue way. Side has probably the worst snow with some patches, particularly the very very inside left of the big turn is boilerplate. Oddly there were almost no pass holders around, the whole time the plebe line was to the gates but ride on the lift vip. I maybe saw BFG but all of the old heads where I only know their skis and faces must have rocked hard last night.

Grate day in the Pocono powder from surprise overachiever storm, only to be topped off by finding the beloved Blue beer fairy left the best gift evah on the car bumper!! Muchas gracias por la cerveza @mute1080!! The built-in ruler came in handy.

You really should draft a line of Wedding Congratulations cards, @GrilledSteezeSandwich.

Yup, left where we were staying in the town of Volcano on the Big Island around 7am (Hawaii time) to see a green sand beach and hit Kona Brewing before our flight at 2 pm. Landed in LA at 9:45 pm and pretty much got right on the next flight to Baltimore which landed yesterday morning around 7 am. Then drove to the Sea Isle to pick up our doggo from her parents then home. Managed to make it to half time in the Superbowl before crashing. Still may head up for at least a few runs. Gotta get my stats back up.

Some XC skiing through the hood this afternoon......

I got out this afternoon on my way home from work at Bicentennial Park and it was really enjoyable. I was hoping to get on the Nor-Bath trail but bozos took snowmobiles on it and dug up a bunch of gravel. I just cruised around the park in the snow. A few other tracks out there from yesterday. Lovely afternoon to be out!

Lancaster County Park yesterday morning. A bit sticky buy doable once I rubbed on some fresh wax. Was better later that night. Somehow I missed the memo I was planning on driving up to Crystal Lake but no reason to do that with 4" of snow here when I woke up

Resurrection of the best kind, I think this is rando storm 3 ? Regardless it was absolutely perfect timing to avoid a luge track. Snow underneath was not great and it got crowded fast but who cares TCS, switch, NMDW where all excellent un/low tracks. Charles's dad chili, snow, super bowl all lead to a super good level of energy in the air.

welcome @billskis!! Happy to have someone else new here. Where do you usually ski? Just curious -- did Eninem and Dr Dree make you want to relive the 2000s? But instead of west coast rap, you joined an early 2000s website forum?

What's up man ? Good to see your back. It's 7 out of 10 I'd say, my personal rating would be an 8, Ridge probably a 9; Atomic a 6. It's very good playful snow but it's not hammer down hyper carving kind of stuff.

They look similar.

Late night call to head up to Greek. Met up mbike and jeff this morning for the ride up. Got on the snow just after opening, probably 8:45. great conditions, little bit of snow overnight after 10-12” from thursday night/friday deal. Cold, and snowed lightly till probably 10:30. Nice light fluffy snow in plenty. Lift lines were a little crowded but slopes were not. Trees were nice. more later.

Congrats on getting married. Remember that in a year or two if things start to get boring, there are a lot of swinger couples in the Lehigh valley.

Was thinking I may head up for a few runs tonight to reacquaint myself with winter but maybe not after reading this...

When I used to ski Stowe in college it was never that crowded but back then Stowe was an expensive place to ski. Now that it’s on the epicpass it’s a bargain. Before Stowe was on the epicpass, season passes were well over $1,000.

The 4Runner line was half that on the powder day so I went to the Spruce side. There was no one over there and the snow on Upper Smugglers was deeeeep.

Wow just wow

Can watch this over and over and over... Tons of great lines. Even some @saltyant skiing in there! Why can't Blue have ski patrollers that look like that!!

"You kids are only hating because Hans got more steeze" I can't stop watching...

Wow what a way to start the week!!!

Hell yeah! Cloudspin! Have a great time man.

Parking lot was packed when we arrived at 1030 but lift lines no more than 5 min as a lot of people were here for snow tubing (which sold out) or bunny hill. Most crowded trail from top also the green one. Soft snow, 100% of trails open and all but one lift. Base depth fairly thin on some trails. Mellow ski day with my girls.

Gonna use our 2nd Shawnee day on IndyPass today. Feb Spring skiing.

No kidding! I was there today too. That place is awesome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Super fun day, sometimes the best plans are no plans at all

Today was fun. Woke up at 5:30ish to a text from @mbike-skiwith an invite to Greek. Scrambled quickly and was on the road from his house by 6:10. Picked up @JFskiDan at 80/476. Conditions were either 6”+ of untracked to cut up pow.

Took out the new xc skis for a short cruise around the local park before the rain storm. Plenty of open soccer fields and a nice trail loop there. My dog joined in on the fun too, and took a nice shit mid ski. These things are FAST and fun. They glide so well and grip on inclines fairly well too. Even managed to go over the trampled footprints just fine. The Alpina boots fit perfectly and are so much more comfortable than I expected. I estimated well on the pole length too. Truly™️ excited to take these out with @Mixilplix @mbike-ski and others the next chance we get!
