Got a nice sun tan at Copper today. No real pics. Conditions were icy but I am not going to complain early season. Lift lines were 20ish min not too bad.

That would be rad. You guys should get a room.

It's a very unique joint... The architect who designed it always wanted a yacht. So he designed as such and stood it on end. There are 4 levels with 2 bedrooms, a loft, 2 bathrooms, small kitchen and dinette. A living room built around a central wood burning fireplace, and a small utility room. There is also a one car garage which is used for firewood, ski, and snowblower storage. Ships ladders(steep) connect the 4 levels. The entire interior is trimmed in mahogany and knotty pine, the bathrooms are tiled. There's also a mirrored ceiling above the captains' quarters bed. The architect was a bachelor and I've heard stories of crazy coke fueled parties held there in the early 80s.. All cabinets and beds are built-ins and the only extra furniture is one chest and the sectional in the living room. There's about 1200 Sq. Ft. of living area. And it sits on a 2 acre, completely wooded, sloping plot of land. There is no summer mowing of grass... sorry Toast. 😃

Blue, East Texas, Kutztown, my Brah's house in Pottstown, Royersford, Phoenixville, Valley Forge, KOP, Plymouth Meeting, up I-476, Lake Nockamixen. It was rad

A picture of Blue Mountain Ski Resort, taken on Saturday, 11/19/22 at 3:40 PM from around 2,200 feet MSL. Two bonus pictures of the local hill station:

They're definitely giving it hell on Homestretch/lift area now. Both of the new guns pointed at the OG6 are ripping, and it looks like they have a portable gun over by the construction area pointed back toward the lift as well.

The suburban sprawl seems to start south of rt 563 . I try to avoid the area unless I have tons of altitude. Practice your power off landings , You could set her down on the top level parking deck😁

Speaking of zee lights...I drove past last night and noticed that they added the new white lighting that they put on coming soon last year all the way down lower paradise into home stretch. There's still plenty of shitty orange lighting however it appears the days of orange lights may be coming to an end. Not gonna lie the whole mountain covered in the new white lighting probably gets me more excited than the new lift.

TD and Neo tags in aruba

@tnt this is dynamite.

Correct.

Correct I bet the blue mountain operations team along with the snow makers are monitoring PASR during operation Blizzard from their command station.

You’re welcome and anytime. I sometimes think Blues operations team reads this forum for suggestions. Opening with Paradise and Freebird was actually my idea.

@GrilledSteezeSandwich thanks for telling them to amp up production and focus more on Homestretch.

Same sheesh

Just trying to keep this site active.

That would be rad.

Maybe one day I will fly over at 8:03 or whenever you guys get to the top and can film you skiing down Challenge. Blue can ban drones but they can't ban aeroplanes.

I have a lot of work to do and errands to run plus I need to buy beer.

I believe it’s the third largest mall in North America.

It's a shame it'll be raining. I'll still be there tho.

King of Prussia mall yesterday. I've always been mind blown at how vast and crowded it is. Very fascinating to have seen from the air.

4 days, 20 hours, 18 minutes, 48 seconds

Picked my SP up this morning...Looking forward to getting back there..

I would figure drive to Catskills probably costs an extra $40 in gas/tolls in addition to taking an extra 2 hrs and putting more miles on car. if I was going solo it would only be worth it if I felt it would be a better ski experience. Would feel otherwise if bringing kids.

No brainer if it wasn't WROD season, where we'll be done skiing in 2-3 hours... But there are some great places for a later lunch in the catskills, so we'll probably do that....

I intended to but just couldn't find it. I saw a puff of smoke and flew towards it, but it wasn't Bear Creek. I assumed they have been making snow and that it would be super easy to spot, as I used to see it all the time when practicing around the Kutztown area. So I guess they aren't making any snow.

The Little Cabin In The Woods

Ah - got it. Fun...

Got a truly awesome view of the snow making activities from the air. I will have to post some pics later.

Can't wait to go tubing this Friday

Actually my season is going to start at AZ Snowbowl on the 28th . I didn't buy a Blue pass this year ,I'm dealing with major back/ nerve problems . Getting old sucks hopefully the excising will keep me back in shape , I've been feeling a lot better lately . AZ will be a test run , not expecting any bumps .

Beautiful morning!

So cool @Mixilplix!

Current view

Did some nice hiking in Zion National Park today.

Some pics of the top terminal....It looks pretty legit...On my way up I talked to a guy working there(Blue employee)...Said the were looking at Dec. 15th finish date...Where he got that info I do not know...All the guns on Vista looked to be on standby ready to go...

oh, then you missed the time when we were in line and all of a sudden the counterweight jumped 2'. No joke. I forget who else was there, but at least Jlaw. and then of course for some reason we both still got on it.

I drove by on my way home from work and indeed the two side pieces of the upper terminal looked to be in place... If it's done by Christmas does that make it a Christmas miracle?

i assume you have given up on this idea. Mute had some insider info. Whether it was good info or not, at this point dates dont really matter much. Personally if i was running this little project, i would put it into overdrive. Having it snow while trying to work on this thing, well i would think it would be pretty miserable.

Some fresh snow pics for stoke

So my tree guy absolutely flaked out on me. Contracted him to do finish work back in August including splitting all my cut trees into firewood. He told me a week ago he couldn’t do it until spring. Everyone sold out of firewood around here so my husband and I decided to try and tackle it ourselves. pile available logs on left are from 2 summers ago and ready to be split. I wasn’t brave enough to try the chainsaw. But I did split some with the axe until I kind of missed and almost hit my foot. My husband split about 1/2 of what we cut with the axe. I also bought a log splitter. I admit, log splitter was very satisfying We worked for 5 hours with a small break and I don’t even think we got a cord done. There was a large rock in the wood pile that husband hit. So we can’t do any more till he sharpens the blade.

...

Sorry my bad so does anybody know when Blue is opening?

Cool. We're gonna have a tough call...plan to be skiing friday. Have passes at Belleayre, but blue is so much closer... 2:45 drive to ski two trails for 'free', or 1:45 to ski two trails for $80 a head... Why do I live in NJ again? WTF...
