Nah might do Hunter Sunday AM

Room with 1 king for us

Might hit Hunter briefly on Sunday AM. Gonna be taking Joy to Roxbury Motel for birthday getaway. She likes to sleep in, so if I get up early I will get in 5-6 runs while she sleeps.

Went Sat instead of Sun as it seemed the dry spot yesterday afternoon would be better than potentially icy conditions today. Skied right on to the express lift 12 runs down Pennsylvania in 90 minutes then called it a day when rain came back. Nice first day out. Smooth and carve-able with no bare spots.

Cover was fairly thin but no bare spots or ice. Started pouring just as we were getting into car. Hope it holds up. Open tomorrow then closed for the weekdays.

We skied on a trail at Shawnee called "Blue Mountain"

Similarly we got in 12 rain free runs at Shawnee with no lines

24% or less 1-3

Actually gonna aim for the non rainy part of afternoon today at Shawnee

Will be skiing this weekend but at Shawnee with girls

Cause for some odd reason a PA Skiing site that even has a Bear Creek forum lacks a Shawnee one - and this is useful info to folks considering going to Blue.

Sure could change, worth looking at data available. Warmer is better.

Blue less promising

Shawnee should dodge freezing up between Sat and Sun

Even with Friday being better skiing than Sat or Sun I can't bring myself to take off work and drive 2 hrs each way for 3 x 400' vert runs that are "green", "may as well be green", and "would be green but saddled with park features". Maybe if I hadn't been to Hunter Saturday.

Yer killin my stoke dude

Bummer. Even at 41 degrees?

Best bets this weekend seem to be either - Maybe sat afternoon (if rain stops) - Sun afternoon thaw

Shawnee just reconfirmed plans to be open Sat and Sun 9-4. Assuming they make it through Saturday still TTB, I will be there Sunday

What weather source and location do you use for Blue forecast? This is Palmerton forecast for Saturday on Weather Channel app. And forecast is basically identical for all NEPA ski reguon. I again predict them being open Sunday only. Though if your point that they never open Sunday is valid, I guess that means they don't open this weekend. Hope to ski somewhere Sunday but won't head out Saturday for 100% chance of 1/4" of rain.

Won't be shocked if they make that Sunday if its gonna rain Saturday. Though yesterday you said that thought meant I didn't know Blue Mt at all - despite having skied there since you were in diapers.

Didn't say it was. If I lived an hour closer I would be right there with you. I'm the one getting harassed for enjoying skiing somewhere different each weekend and posting about those experiences on a ski discussion board.

Don't tend to brown bag or juice box it on ski trips. Nor do we often drink beer. Coffee and diet coke are staples.

Nah man everybody in the NE has Epic passes these days - hence the crowds. Having both Epic and Indy so I can avoid crowds when I need to is kind of special. Still not as special as parking in the same row in the lower lot at Blue before lifts open every weekend day Dec-March to ski for a couple hours and then drink beer, I get that.

One does hot cocoa and the other does tea now. Try to keep up.
