Resolution sucks, but looks like the Pocono's first bubble chair is hung in the lower terminal

i did actually bug them when i heard of the first batch going around, they said i was "in the next group" which probably translates to "we hope you forget about this"

Rode a ski lift over the weekend. Pic from Saturday night, 10/8/22

I need to do that. Thanks for the reminder.

A new employee confirms that 12/19 date and also says they won’t open the top lodge until the lift is done. Paradise is the goal for opening but anything to the bottom if it’s cold enough.

Seconded - if they don't have the lift done in time they might stay away from Main Street/Burma, which would be different, but they'll still go for it if they get temps any time from November on.

That's bananas 🍌, I went on July 4 weekend and there was no one there.

😄 Print out the e-mail, fold it up and stick it in, I suppose.

Horseshoe is the section from the quad over past the old six pack and to the old first aid buildings - now, it's probably the loading areas for all three main lifts. I'm disappointed we aren't seeing more new snowguns - replacing nine fan guns is fine (and it looks like a lot of the old ones went to Tubing), but Blue's basically still on the Air Hog plan unlike Camelback. If Blue didn't have like 3x the air compressor power that Camelback does they'd never get anywhere. And seriously, putting the same guns on Shuttle as on Razors Edge Headwall? I figured we would see new guns to connect to the new lift this year. If Blue didn't lock in their lift order early they may be last in line to receive parts - and that might be pushed even later by supply chain trouble. AKA why pick one side to blame when it could be both? Anyone want a betting thread for which side of the hill opens first this year?

wtf. how do i add it to the leather wallet?

I have to say that every year and then toast responds I hope it’s vista lift only and then of course I’m there opening day regardless. It’s like a PASR tradition.

What changed?

Dropped my skis off at the shop to get tuned today. Gotta be ready

i would agree with the "if shit was onsite laying around", then its a concrete curing issue, or manpower issue. From a contractors point of view, im still going with they know what they are doing, and understand the timeline, etc. Basically, im trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, i know first hand that everybody behind a keyboard knows how to handle, and complete the project better than any contractor. Im not sure how much "supply chain" this can be blamed on. This project has most likely been going on behind the scenes for a year. Im getting used to things taking longer than normal, right now i have orders for trucks and trailers that are 6-8 months out. So, at the minimum, we knew this lift was going in 8-ish months ago, so i guess my point is, if they tore main/burma down without knowing if all their stuff was going to show up on time, then that might be a mistake on their part.

Blue needs to name the trail that cuts under the six pack from home stretch to lower park.

Agreed. Hope they get Curzt's Cabin open if it's Vista only. Probably just close it for the race team tho.

Back in Vilnius, Lithuania this week.

Blue should throw a season pass holder party at like 2pm on a Wednesday, that way they won’t need to give out as much free food and drink.

That's pretty nice, kind of looks like Tamaqua.
