Will more likely have more 2 ski day weekends next year due to trips to Hunter and Snow

Oddly there is no way that this year - my first with a pass - I will hit the 31 I skied last year (my record). Largely cause last year had a bunch of snow days mid week while this year I have skied only weekends and holidays. Plus extended season with late April trip to Sunday River piggybacked on work flying me to MA.

Ski2Live just got a Peak Pass at Whitetail Sunday, so no. But even at $35 each it is a nice of offer and cool for someone to post to share it with folks on our site.

Not me

Antics with pass dates and quantities are BS. These things arent rare earth minerals, just arbitrary self created shortages designed to manipulate prospective purchasers. Weaker even than the farewell tours that the Who have been doing for more than half of their career. You announce a date things are available til, you should stick to it.

Apparently for some reason the $99 6th grade passes stopped working after 365 days due to some glitsch they could not solve, so they offered as many comp passes as we need. I said fine figuring VIP line no longer an issue this late in season. We were alread getting a late start Sat, knowing lines not an issue this late in season. Then 30 min into trip my daughter said "Dad, where are your skis?" Set back another hour we did not want to deal with Frost both being further and closing at 4, so back to Blue instead.

Had to go to the lift ticket line and deal with a supervisor on Sat because there was an issue with my daughters season passes so they put comp days on them instead, and they asked how many we would need given that Blue closing day would be 3/31/19. So I take that as pretty definitive closing date.

Took 2:50 from Jenkintown to get there, so about Elk distance. A plus in the event of snowy conditions is that the drive there was completely flat. Truly driving through nowheresville farm country with large mounds of what smelled like manure fertilizer as we neared it. We did not wait in a single lift line. Oddly, for the first hour, at least the main lift had nobody outside the booth to even scan our pass. They had a cool lift for the green stuff (which we rode once for a free ice cream giveaway event, but then skipped ice cream due to line) which had you stand on a moving carpet going almost as fast as the fixed grip lift when boarding. It is nice that they have sep lifts servicing the green, blue and black stuff - though the blue lift is the longest vertical and only high speed one

Some of the views

Not the best form for sure, but making it down that, loving every minute, and asking to hit it again is quite an achievement at her age

Wow, easily the best day of PA skiing I have had this season. Cant believe my daughter Amy made it down this without a spill and went back for a second go on it - wall to wall large soft natural bumps - along with 15 other runs. She love the mashed potatoes and it was a blast. No lines. Nicest lodge facilities of any place in PA (better even than Bear Creek or Big Bear, and this pla e also has terrain worth skiing). Super nice people with a southern feel. Great views. Bluebird afternoon. Well worth checking out. Will post more shots later.

Good fun. 13 PM runs with the girls, soft snow, no lines. Annoying that their passes stopped working necessitating 20 min at the ticket window after run 1.

How is it, coming for pm

Song is about a guy who is crying cause he misses his girl, and he doesnt want to go outside til it rains, so nobody can tell he is crying

Girls want to do new places. I can bring out my guitar next Sat and play it while we wait for Passholder Party.

Yes, Vanessa was there too

Staying with my folks in Philly betwen the two, then Cassidy is doing Girls Day Out with Grandma while Amy and I do our Daddy Daughter Day at Whitetail Kinda doubt Rolling Stone covered our show, but here is me doing my best David Ruffin

Gonna ski 2 days this weekend on Peak Passes as girls want to try somewhere diff. Sat Frost and Sun Whitetail.

But really the increase is quite modest at $50 for an adult. Blue just increased $30 and didn't give you access to NY, VT mountains.

Also of almost no benefit to folks at other Peak Mts to have the 3 S.PA lumped in. I may check out WT once for novelty to see what likit's like, but there is no way its stats make it worth a drive that even from Philly is only about 20 min less than Hunter.
