Will have to open before JF opens at 9am tomorrow to get First In PA

Open tomorrow - first in PA

For me Early season is getting my legs in shape after 6 months off so as to better enjoy the better conditions to come

Thanks - We are at Deja Brew in Tannersville on our way home

I am in fact today taking a break in lodge with one daughter after our first 5 runs. Shame they are making snow on most of the open TTB run but at least lines have not been bad. Still at under 10 min at 11 am though and doubt it will get worse

Sounds like Belle actually opened a couple more trails last weekend that were not on snow report check out NY Ski Blog for details

There may not be skiing in PA yet but there will be a big music fest tomorrow in Morrisville PA featuring The Beagles! (also lights) ticket prices go up at 8pm so get yours now for only $25

A day ago I was

James Tiberius Kirk

That is scary close to the ski area

Today

damnit Jim I’m a skier not a photographer

No lines at Belleayre and real nice conditions on both runs to start. Got 12 runs in then was getting a bit scraped.

2 week shorter off season + 2 week longer Skison = priceless Time spent skiing and driving with my kids before they are off to college next Fall is time well spent Even spending about 225 for lifts, gas & tolls

For now they are only expressing certainty of being open through this Sunday, as expected to warm up again.

Not a park rat. Look for me at Belleayre tomorrow. It’s been a long 7.5 months.

Belleayre open this weekend. $57 lift tix online. Two runs with 926’ vertical. Pre Turkey Turns!

Lift damage and building damage (which is more likely as they are likely more flammable) are basically the thing you would worry about

Isn’t snowmaking fairly water use neutral since it flows back down to the ponds? that just means they wouldn’t be restricted in what they use from their pond not that they could draw from public water supply to make snow

Saw Blue posted it is about 4 miles away still - good to hear

Surprised a wildfire encroaching on Blue doesn’t get its own thread almost ski season!

Learned that folks with passes to other mts will be able to get $25 tix this Sat or Sun at Belleayre

Belleayre most likely re-opening this weekend with $40 tix Have not ruled out ending the season Sunday where I started it in November - doing the first and last days of their skison and mine there.

Probably a little over 7k, maybe close to 8k with the ground miles (most via shuttle) on CO trip included. And 14 nights of hotels. Much bigger expenses than ski passes. But great having something like this to share with my teens when so many of us are glued to our phones. If each of my 34 days was a roundtrip to Blue it would have still been about 6k miles, but no hotels.

Dropped 3 pair of skis off for end of skison tuning today instead of hitting Hunter. It's over 😞 508k vert over 33 of 128 days Enjoyed it fully. Will hold me till late November
