DiMe

Wont be doing it this year unless found someone to go with. I also would limit myself to the safe west coast states as I dont take safety risk on airplanes! It is definitely in my near future though. The years go by way to fast 😪

No need to apologize it is very relative to the ski season if being chased by Wolves on the slopes is going to be a thing. Kind of like that Russian insta video with the bear chasing a dude casual skiing down. Or the videos of the wild boars charging people at the base area somewhere.

That looks awesome. I need to get out west so I can get mad steezy on some natural cliff and rock drops. I'm still virgin to the west coast mountains.

Thats what the trees are for! You make your own tracks 🐺🐾

@saltyantNever mind tree wells, be weary of the Breck tree wolves! 😳

Right that's what had me confused. Looks like it was taken from a higher elevation looking across peaks.

Wow, had me fooled. Where do you supposed this picture was captured from?

Or do I not know the difference? 🤣

Blue doesn't know the difference between pictures of itself and it's Canadian twin 🤣

I hope they stay open mid week next week. 🙏

5 days a week 9pm-5am. Fortunately the hours keeps me out of traffic.

DiMe is back to stay! These are my style of reports from many moons ago. PASR powder hound I am, rider of the storm. https://youtu.be/iv8GW1GaoIc

Just got home from what was probably the best PA powder day of my life. I have only been to Elk once before roughly 15 years ago. I left for Elk with grass showing and light flurries in Stroudsburg, things changed immediately after hitting the Mt Pocono line getting onto 380. The ride was smooth but sketch once off 81 and headed up to Elk. I ended up every so gently sliding my truck onto the shoulder less than 0.5 miles from the parking lot in an awefully precarious way. I came to a stop in the worst possible spot roughly 2 feet from a corrugated pipe culvert that if I had fallen into, would have ended my day. Fortunately a suby with two burly skiers stopped and was eager to attempt to give me a push away from the ditch. Their efforts worked. I thanked them profusely and within less than 5 minutes from dead stuck without help to back on course! I arrived in the upper lot, because I had no idea where to park or claim my tickets at 9:00am. Now that I am reacquainted with Elks layout, in the future I'd opt to park at the Quad lot. I found my way to the robot that spit out my 4 hour admission for the day. It's kind of strange having no interaction to get on the slopes these days when visiting new resorts but I kind of like it. I made my way up the B lift and without a clue where to turn at the top with low visibility I followed the sounds of fellow steezers shouting "OMG, This is amazing!" "Leave the edges home today!" Which led me onto Delaware cutting fresh tracks but craving more pitch! At first sight of a black diamond trail sign I found myself making my way down Tuscarora floating down with a shit eating grin, knowing for certain now that I had made the best possible decision today. The following few runs I hit the rest of the blacks on the double chair side before making my way over to the quad where the real goods were to be found. ROTD was unquestionably Chippewa as one of the few black diamons Elk seemingly leaves completely ungroomed through the season to bump up. The falling snow and the wind had this run set up perfectly with the VW sized bumps filled in with fresh and frequent near knee deep drops surfing the tops of each powder bump. Nose up and pointed downhill and those giant hard VWs under the fresh were of no concern to tripping up an advanced steezer. My only regret today was being cheap saving $13 buying a $67 4 hour ticket instead of the full $80 ticket for the extra fee hours. Today was paradise.... If you blindfolded me and took me to Elk today I would swear on my life I was at a small New Engla d or Upstate New York resort. INCREDIBLE. Still dumping when I left, prob a rate of 0.25-0.6"/hr the entire time. The grass picture was the Tannersville exit for Camelback on the way home. Elevation was everything for this storm.

I found the stash....... holy fuck. 20230314_105323.mp4

Way moar than 6"

So deep Jerry disappear!

Quads are open. Im guessing im cutting tracks between. 2-6" top to bottom. Very light snow blowing around, skiers right got the stashes. Gots all dat float, so stoked.

Stilll dummmping. Fresh lines every run there might be 50 people here?

Overstoked

On the B chair for 2nd run. Late start slid in a ditch 2 miles from the lot and required the assistance of 2 kind men who stopped to push me out. More to come... this is the most legit PA pow day ever.....

380 mt pocono snow line. Stoke market rising!

I can see through the darkness Montage is also now getting pounded. It was white out from exit 53 on I-80 until exit 19 then completely green all the way into Stroudsburg. My decision has been made and I am leaving for Elk in a few min. The snow that piled up there on the cam the past few hours is pretty dramatic. Hope the rest of the PASR powder slooots get some fresh tracks this am!!

Elk webcam has been getting nuked past hour. All groomer and snowmobile tracks fully blanketed over....

So far Blue has just turned off the lights with barely a flurry. Elk looks to be flurries but not at a rate that would be worth a visit yet... Bellayre webcams have been getting nuked.....
