Had good fun yesterday doing 17 runs with the twins on soft but full coverage conditions on Minya Hellgate Belt and Overlook.
Best conditions were Overlook (surprisingly) and it was nice that it was served by an express lift as Flyer went down for day at 10ambig turns. Widening out to 7th Ave was fun for big turns.
Lovin that my teens are speeding down blacks at Hunter all day long skiing as hard as I am. A great reward for all invested over 10 years getting them to this level as we start their 1qth skison.

Is this an attempt at humor?
Cross between humor and pointing out some truly dumb stuff that ski areas spend $ on which happens to be more relevant to a discussion about lights than most other things posted here.
Maybe start a definition of humor thread. Try to stay on topic.

And speaking of lights the prospect of shifting colored lights on blue's snow tubing runs is super exciting. I expect skiing will soon be yesterday's news in Palmerton unless Blue upgrades their lighting to similar standards mountain wide

Yup stay home
Looks like JF for me Sat unless Hunter dodges the rain on Sat or Sun. Will stay home Fri. Not burning a Vaca day for this level of skiing.

So basically 2 TTB runs like JF.

Looks like the snow is blowing on Burma, Vista, midway, lower main, coming soon, p diz, and maybe lazy...
Not bad - that is 4-5 distinct runs if they pull it all off
And I can see how they would count 13

Why does the upper lot matter? You won’t be there.
It doesn't matter really - that was a joke.
But I am a diehard upper lotter since before there was a lower lot.
Little Gap class of 1981.
Yeah I'd rather be at Hunter if rain doesn't force my hand

i'm thinking locks are burma, main st, paradise, coming soon, come around, vista (if you'd even want to count that).
Worth paying to ski that over Jane's and One Park at Frost if Hunter is a washout.
Want to get all the skiing I can in for my girls before we hit Beaver Creek 12/23

$57 for a 4hr ticket is quite reasonable. Actually may show with the teens if
1. The current forecast holds with much less chance of rain in PA than in NY or VT
2. There is a worthwhile trail offering compared to JF (which will only have 2 blue runs with 400' vertical).
3. They open the upper lot
If the briefly posted 13 trail count holds true, what do folks think the offering will be? I'm sure some will be of negligible interest like Tuts, Homestretch, Crossing . . .

You live in Jersey. Unless Vail builds a ski area on a landfill you're not gonna get much closer
I expect to switch to Ikon next year as I consider both Blue and Cbk to be "better ones closer to me" than JF

Epic has 8 PA ski areas - which I believe is more than they (or Ikon) have in any other state
I wish they had better ones closer to me.
Of the non-Ikon ones the most appealing additions would be Montage or Elk

I’m starting a weekend roll call thread..I usually wait until Wednesday but in 5 minutes it’s Midnight in israel so gonna post roll call thread in support of the innocent people killed on both sides who won’t be able to make opening day at Blue.
Neither dead nor all that innocent but won't make opening day at Blue. Might be at Hunter, Snow or Okemo depending on where it's not raining this weekend. Hope it's good enough weather to only go as far as Hunter. JF's opening with very limited terrain is not tempting.

You’re fucking annoying today lol check out the bear creek webcams if you want to be pissed lol
So go ski Bear Creek. I get being too lazy to drive to Belleayre or Hunter, but that's in your back yard.

Still no lines at midday. And nice conditions on Belt and Hellgate on down. Looks like next to open will be Minya and Overlook. Clam Chowder lunch in foreground.

Real nice day at Belleayre. A couple inches of soft snow on top of the base on Deer Run. Headwalls on Seneca and Peekamoose were a bit slick. Rode the Gondola 12× with line always under 2 minutes, never getting as far back as the RFID gates.

Keeping the streak alive - 8 years in a row of skiing in November. First time my kids will do the driving.
