Woke up to a fresh coating and had no issues getting to the mountain. Parked right by the Forerunner Quad and after a short line, we’re headed up at 835. Snow was grate. Fresh 3 inches at least made everything look better and kept snowing until we left. Less than half of the trails were open so not too many options down. Took 1 Gondy ride and mainly stayed off the FRQ. No lift lines at 1030 had me wondering were everyone was but a guy on the lift said there was a car accident on the access road blocking traffic. Shortly after 11 and the lines showed up. Finished with a couple Mountain Triple laps and headed out at 1145. Wedding is this afternoon so I have to get a shower and put on my drinking shoes. Fun day and felt great to have some fresh snow even if it wasn’t deep. Still nice to have some hit above the boot ❄️

I'm new here but may as well contribute. Arrived with my daughter and her boyfriend at 9am almost on the dot. This was their first time at Camelback but not mine. Waited about 20minutes while my daughters boyfriend picked up his rentals and then headed directly to Sullivan. There was a small line but we were able to grab a chair about 5 minutes after getting on line. As we were riding the chair up we heard it. The sound of ski's and boards digging into really icy hardpack. Once we got up to we decided to take it slow and start on Birches. The conditions were quite icy on Birches and Meadows. At some points it was like snowboarding on an ice cube. I guess this is to be expected, since it had just finished raining a few hours before and the temp rapidly dropped. Conditions were mostly the same throughout the day, though things seemed to soften up a bit after 12pm. We started noticing real crowds at about 11 and by 1pm the lines were longish but mostly moving fast. However, the line at Stevenson was especially discombobulated. It got better once they started having a ranger direct the line and loading. By 2:30 we had hit 12 different runs and decided to call it a day. Especially the boyfriend who was using rental gear that was killing his feet. Overall, not a bad day but not a great one either, just sort of meh conditions but a bunch of fun runs were had.

It was one of those days where you had to hunt for the goods. Quad gates popped open early and we all went straight for the chairs, fully expecting to be stopped at the corrals but nobody said a word so we just cruised onto the chairs. Quick time check showed it to only be 7:50! Oh well! First run down Coming Soon was blissful fresh man made. However, stray too Far East or West of center and you were out of the snow gun sweet spot and you were on dusty crust. Barney’s also had some fresh blown on them but again, too close to the guns and you got boiler in the troughs. Later in the morning a nice squall came through to add to the fun. @tarponheaddiscovered the right side of Main had some very nice snow that we lapped a few times. Broke for the parking lot when the lines got too long. However after a few beers everyone’s phone went ballistic with a snow squall alert. Not wanting to miss the fun, we all dashed back out and headed for Coming Soon. By the time we got near the top, we could see the squall line inbound. On the way down Coming Soon, the squall was in full effect producing almost whiteout conditions. Lapped Coming Soon too many more times and headed for the lot for mas cervezas. Squall hitting

@Schif @theprogram4 @PSUFly we need to have an intervention with our good friend and brother @Mixilplix. He’s a great guy and as core as they come but he’s losing his way to those devil 2 plankers. This is nothing but a moment in time and if we band together we can get our brother back on the straight and narrow. lol.

The lift opened at like 12, they just put it on hold again. They gave everyone a free hotdog earlier, partly sunny since then but still gusts of wind. There is actually quite a bit more "open" than the 6 trails indicated on the report this morning - basically you can ski anything down to the triple, although those not on the report are pretty icy. Dust on crust. They have been making snow all day up top. The scoop is Stembogan and lower High Hopes maybe could open but they can't run the double when it is this windy. Place is decently fun even without the blacks, trails are long lots of vert, they wind around every which way, nice view (highest ski area in the state). Some of the blues would be blacks in the poconos. They seem to be doing decent business today but I have not waited more than a minute for the lift, no crowd of epic proportions here.

On a scale of 1-10 for eating shit, first run on challenge was low, like a 2, maybe a 3. Small little pods of ice. i bet that went up pretty high as the morning progressed. Coming soon was probably an 8, it was nice up top, first couple turns down the headwall were silky smooth, then the carpet was pulled out from under your feet. Upper main was sweet until you got surprised by its evil twin, lower main, which wasnt really all that bad, once you remembered you were of course, still skiing Blue Mountain. Switch was good. Paradise was decent too, nice grip around the turns. It could have been worse.

Stellar day today! They even opened the lifts a bit early which was awesome! First run top of Silver Queen down to East River. Snow felt really good. Then several off east river than we did 2 more from Silver Queen back to the base. Umbrella Bar for lunch then did some mellow runs from that side. Left around 1:30 and lines were getting busy (for CB). Natalie I’m the bumps this outfit did not look comfortable Umbrella bar looking forward to a stretchy yoga class in a few hours so I am ready for tomorrow.

Hey All, I’m back from another morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 720am and Johnny Law and Dirtwolf were already in the house. Also in attendance were Jack Frost Dan, MBike Mike, Nastar Glenn, Rick, Indiggio, Tarponhead, Rodney, BenM, Toast, Enjorales, Matt Edge, Pops, PSUFly, Antman, Falco, Charles, Spider and many more. First run on challenge was slick in the middle and slightly grippy on the sides, Main Street has untracked fresh manmade on the top and choppy fresh manmade on the bottom with an area of no new snow in the middle..it was pretty playful with a couple mini root rollers. I only skied switchback once and the snow was ok but it was busy. Wow just wow it was crowded and got busier later on. It was more of an urban crowd. I skied paradise a few times and it was alright and the quad once for coming soon which was manmade dust or crust on ice. From talking with people in the lot some thought it was pretty good today and some thought it wasn’t so grate...everything is open all the lifts are running..they even have parking lot attendants now..anyway you slice it or dice it, it’s just another day in paradise.

Also I will add - food prices not unreasonable at all Chicken tendies, pizza, 2 hot chocolates, a root beer, and cookie for $17 - less than 1 burger at vail?

I found this picture of Johnny Law from the other day.

Word on the street is Stowe is done making snow for the year. Accept the fact that Knob is rarely 100% unless its a big snow year for them. They dont care if you go or not. Ski where conditions are best, which may mean opening up the drawstrings on your purse, and skiing outside your pass.

Blue knob live update

Lift went on wind hold again at 3:30 so we dipped All these ski bros complaining about I70 ski traffic. Well I am here to inform you that I just went through an I70 tunnel on the busiest ski weekend of the year with neither epic nor ikonic traffic jams...🤔

Funny part was it was a legit trail sweep. Ski patrol was 5 chairs back and no tracks on TCS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No way I think that's were I'm at too. I was remiss not to mention best part of the day was the tarpon indiggio crew doing pre opening patrol work on TCS. For a second my mind couldn't comprehend what it was seeing.

Probably the worst snow of the season which is saying something as switch and main were still very good. I might be biased too as I made a poor choice of skis and had little edge grip on the left ski under the boot from the lineup. Hopefully after tonight it will improve some when it gets another groom but it was way better than I thought it would be and it's not that bad but we have been crazy spoiled. I'm going to WV of all places next weekend so it will snow for sure in PA. I do wish they would end the stupid cross on lower side.

They do, but Biden made the price of them go through the roof, so i will have to slum it with the regular stuffed ones.

I don’t want to play message board dick swing fight tonight, but maybe tomorrow. But check out these gas rations that I found in my grandfather’s work bench. Everything was rationed during WWII and since he worked as an essential worker for an aircraft manufacturer he got extra gas coupons. Pretty cool.

My son is skiing sno shoe next week with friends from DC Agree was pretty $hit conditions but no surprise. Anyone notice the quad skiers got in a whole run before the 6 was even loading? [emoji57] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Place seems like it would by far ski bigger than anywhere else in the state if they could get those blacks open. Feels just as tall as anywhere in NEPA even with just the triple. Ski2Live you should check it out pretty cool if wierd place

forgot mixilplix and jeff and schiffdog

RSVP me as in and ready

Just wrapped up a quick rip tonight and since there were no other TRs posted today it’s coming late. Got here at 5:45 and lower lot was filled. I almost had to park in additional parking in back. First lift ride up had a about 5 minute wait but thankfully everything after that I skied right on. Conditions were consistent for the most part on all trails and were a mix of soft sugar piles and firm glistening hardback. Switch felt and sounded like I was running a luge track. I’m thinking conditions might be pretty good tomorrow morning. My theory being that the quick drop in temp and wind pulling moisture out of the snow has resulted in dry snow. Grooming that dry snow may set up tonight to make fast, firm, and grippy conditions tomorrow morning. I can also confirm some automated fan guns turned on around 6:30 and as I was leaving it looked like guns were on in the chute/midway area. WTGAI Blue!

A bunch of the ski ladies were at Sugarloaf. And the guys miss us a lot when we are gone. We are pretty much the life of the party 😎

Was a meh kinda day....Switch ...Paradise.. and NMDW all skied nice....Lazy had a lot of rollers and man made stuff right before the turn....The season has turned the corner so I'm just happy to make some turns....and just as @Johnny Law said that crap at the bottom of side gotta go.....

I didnt think today was that bad... Riden way worse conditions at blue than today. If the sun came out it wouldve been much better though.

that should be theme of the day ps dan, i was going to do trash there

All this peanut talk has me hungry for some nutter butters.

You’re super good at social media screenshots 👌

Dont plan on them getting fully open if they get 1 or 2 blacks open and good conditions I would jump on the opportunity. I have been checking in on the snow report for a couple years and have squandered several opportunities to come here when part of the lower mountain was open. Never have seen it 100%. Decided to come here today due to Indy pass blackouts and crowds expected anywhere else

Wow just wow, how did he forget @jeff? Those two are always together like peas and carrots.

Dude it’s snowmaking temperatures again tonight and then some midweek rain and warmth then more snow and cold next weekend. It’s gonna be the normal skiing till late March here then you’ll have to travel up north or out west to ski.

You’re such a hater.

Salty it’s funny you go on 100 mile bike rides but walking up a small hill or some steps triggers you.

Near whiteout in Macungie right now...

Should be hitting the Blue webcams soon. looking forward to watching that before it gets to my house 30 seconds later.

@theprogram4I had a good laugh when I read that....

They were making snow on high hopes and Stembogan earlier this week but the weather Thursday was pretty brutal 1 inch of snow and howling still lifts closed

Welcome @synack!

Welcome to PASR, @synack!

Skied 10-1230 and only the Mountain Triple is open. Every type of snow was skied. Lines got stupid so we’re at Piecasso for lunch. I messed up and order the calamari before reading farther that they have a Epic charcuterie board. I have a reason to come back now.

A Dollar General there would actually be hella clutch when I forget shit on Sausage Sunday

Triple opened at 10. Gonna be dust on crust

Yeah the people that went yesterday said lift access was limited, only the double running. Hopefully it’s not too bad because I want to get Boo on her first gondy.

Snowing and word is the mountain has an hour delay. This is grate.

Lots of fun last night skiing Macungie’s best ski area. Conditions were surprisingly great even with the warmer day. @Mixilplix sorry I didn’t text. We didn’t wrap up until 9 and wasn’t sure how long we’d be around. Probably should have just sent you a text to let you know that anyway. My apologies.

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

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