TCS was also pretty nice. No one seemed to anxious to get on the quad at rope drop, so I got first chair by myself and first run down Dreamweaver. Razors was roped off right from the beginning, I think they prepped it last night are letting it sit for the race this weekend. Last run nearly got clobbered on chute by a snowboarder straight lining it. Poetic justice when she wiped out in the soft stuff on lower Main and I helped clean up the yard sale.

Looks like they might have finished up renovations, contractors have been working there for quite a while. They have a pretty good reputation locally.

Heard that it was shut down for maintenance yesterday around noon. They may be on an increased inspection and lubrication routine for a new installation.

Apparently their dogs use absorbent pads inside the house rather than being let outside.

Nice conditions today (17th). Razors, Paradise, Main and Curzi’s all nice with a lot of grip. Bottom of Main was a little soft, but the top was great with only a few softish icy spots (did sharpen the edges last night which helped). Bottom of Main was 1000% better than Saturday. Chute was real nice. Freefall still closed. Race team set up some brushes on one side of the bottom headwall of Razors. Some confusion at the quad rope drop when the season pass gate started opening a minute or so before the rest of the gates. After a half hour they opened up the new lift, but then about 1130 shut it down and opened up challenge express. The new lift sure is comfy with a lot of headroom for the safety bar, but you are almost at a dead stop when you get off. Don’t miss the uphill climb to Widowmaker. Most of the people getting off the new lift were heading over to Burma or to lazy mile. 14 runs today mostly on razors and Main Street. Top speed of 38, so it was a pretty mellow day.

Just before where the two creeks merge is a state trout stocking point.

Also in the same edition, they mentioned that funding was assigned to finish the missing section of the D&L bike trail from Coplay to Riverside Park, so it will go from Bristol up to Wilkes-Barre.

Whew, that was a close one.

Can you ‘continue to website’?

Sigh, for the more computer disadvantaged. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4372f09hrfqqjku/Blue Mountain Resort renames ski run after late P’burg resident and avid skier D. Scott Curzi.pdf?dl=0

https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/entertainment/2023/01/blue-mountain-resort-renames-ski-run-after-late-pburg-resident-and-avid-skier-d-scott-curzi.html Nice little cabin. Most of the article seems to be behind a paywall.

Yes, geothermal.

That might be enough to miss the window for a run on Razor today.

A lot of people use underground piping for heat pump heat sinks.

Love the flooring.

No, once the contractors move all their gear out. Some parts left over laid down near the main road. One run on Razors and one on Main, and then I called it a day.

A lot better conditions today versus yesterday. Left at 11 when the quad corral was full, but no line beyond the gates.

It’s been going on for several years, but no idea who it is.

We have one presumed neighbor that throws dog pee and poop pad bags into a local creek crossing.

in Monroe county lack of municipal trash pickup and weekend houses has always led to trash bags thrown out the window going back to front plater states. Watched a tiktok from a western national park ranger showing a campsite with cheap gear abandoned when they left, that she has to pack out. Says it is quite common. Abandoning of cheap charcoal grills at Beltzville is also quite common.

Good time had by all.

Think Big Boulder got their electricity working again.

Be nice to extend TCS to bypass Paradise.
