  1. lets just say i've been eavesdropping and 2-3 days ago, they'd been trying to round up what sounds like every chainsaw that exists in PA, chaps (presumably chainsaw) arrived and a lot of chainsaw noises in the background in the last two days. this is what prompted me to take still shots of the cams and start paying attention. there is a lot of work being done near come around, so all outside of cam view with the exception of the valley cam where there is a very slight difference - but it is noticeable. it's hard to piece everything together, but you can see add'l lines cut - near the top, i'm guessing skier's right of come around - from the main st cam. i don't know what it means but it sounded like maybe blue mountain rd was shut down to traffic this morning - could be irrelevant, could be heavy / oversized equipment, might not have been blue mtn road at all. it sounds like they're in a time crunch, like they are anticipating doing something very soon. the location of all things happening would fit the narrative about a lift originating at the bottom and ending at the top of the doubles. after looking at the satellite view, it does look like a pretty easy route wiht the exception of cutting a line through the woods next to come around (which they could just leave in the woods anyway and not clean up). does it mean anything? not really. is it piquing my interest? absolutely. i wouldn't be surprised if some camera feeds stopped working soon.

  2. Nice CSI work. All very interesting stuff. If it seems like they are in a rush, here is my bet. They have the footings for the towers being dug and poured by another company, but they chose to clear the line in house, and its taking longer than anticipated. Of course there is always some type of time table they have to be working backwards from. i am pretty sure this project is being watched closely for permitting and whatnot, so there are most likely some time frame as far as how long the concrete footings have to cure before bolting on some big old towers, lots of core samples, and inspections in between i would imagine, and then of course there is everything that happens after the towers go up. Its a huge pain in the ass to dig some big holes in the side of a mountain, and get them filled with concrete. it should be interesting to watch, as access for concrete trucks isnt great, but i think most of it is likely to happen with trucks and pumpers. It might seem like there is a lot of time between now and black friday to get this done, but if i was working on this, i think i would have some sleepless nights. Hopefully the cams stay online.

  3. if it's not a secret, blue should just tell ppl if something is happening. i dunno about hiking. it's a lot steeper when it's grass than when it's snow.

  5. Really appreciate your work on this @Benm. I hope the PASR Magazine editor-in-chief is able to get something written up about this in the next edition.

  6. Nice detective work. That’s going to prevent collisions of people trying to get to the mainstreet chair . As far as hiking goes I would think they’ll keep people away from any construction site. Salty needs to do some aerial reconnaissance.

  9. I refuse to get gas in jersey. I don’t think I’ve got gas in the garden state since very early 2000s. Having to use an attendant is dumb.

  10. Ok, but we have to get gas in PA. I can't stand that asinine arbitrary rule that I'm not allowed to pump my own gas in Jersey. So stupid. I move faster than most gas attendants and full service is an inefficient waste of my time.

  11. 100% guarantee that there is a reason that graph cuts off where it does, when the lines are most divergent and heading in the proper directions to influence the masses with bogus "statistical" data. The real story to take from that graph is that at it's absolute best case moment of so called improvement in public health, the mask mandates offered two HUDREDTHs of a percent improvement in infection -- not hospitalization -- rates. But ooooohh, scary graph! Fucking tools.

  13. When I was passing through LAX in Feb I saw some interesting mask combos. The most extreme I saw was what looked to be triple mask + face shield. Plus lots of double masks.

  14. Essington is on the top of the list as far as those people who love to be from, and tell people they are from Delco. They are the ones at Wildwood flying the Delco flags. Kinda like when Glenn wears his sherriffs badge.
