Montage being closed today, reporting 9" so far, should make them beautiful when they open tomorrow at 9am especially with their tendency of leaving most of the north face ungrooomed.

I have a friend who likes to launch his parasail from the upper lot at Blue in warmer weather.

2 day trips

Sat at Blue, Sun at Camelback. Best runs were Challenge and Cliffhanger. First time I have skied 2 consecutive days in PA in a long time as I never overnight in the Poconos. May have to get back out in the fresh snow Tues or Wed. March is turning out a lot better than seemed likely in Feb.

Challenge remained beautiful as late as I last skied it at 440

My best friend for 37 years. I can sleep in for him one saturday.

Oh well, will miss you again. Going with a buddy who has to sell Girl Scout cookies with his daughter til 10.

Be there around noon tomorrow

Looks nice on the cams. What am I doing at a desk?

I'd give her a free refill

Thanks, the CR video that YT showed me after that did emphasize that tires make a lot more difference and that getting started was the main benefit of AWD

Does AWD really make much difference in snow other than when you are stuck and trying to get out? I would think your tires make a lot more difference otherwise. I understand from Mr.Gordon that the tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.

Planning on Sunday AM to use my last PS&R card punch for Blue for the season.

6 flags is open April to December. Waterpark May to Sept. A year pass costs barely more than 1 day there plus parking, so it is a no brainer if you live 25 miles away and have kids who dig it.

My kids have been to Disneyland and Disney World. I am just comparing a price of a local place with a water park. Disney is a lot pricier no doubt.

I paid $50 less than that for 3 12 month passes to Great Adventure and Hurricane Harbor.

Ouch.

Seems like there is a growing market maintaining tombstones in Jewish cemeteries under the new administration.

And the one run Spring has open looks a lot more covered than it did a few days ago.

Yep my record days is 21. Never had a pass or a home or vacation home within an hour of decent skiing, and I work weeks. So 21 days out for a weekend warrior from NJ is not bad. Not competing with pass holders who live in the shadow of a mountain, just with myself. And not really much of a competition there either, just an incentive to do more of something I love.

Either way I expect to be up March 12 to use my last Blue punch on my PS&R card, which will mean I basically maxed out the 3 cards I got, using 4 of the 5 tix on each (no Big Bear yet, maybe use that with the kids if they are still open on the 18th). P.S. hit a new personal best total vertical for a ski season yesterday at CB, still 2 days shy of matching my record number of days.

Another nice day at CB today. Most of the trails had as good conditions as one could ask for. A few were closed seemingly to save the whales better through tomorrow's rain. They are clearly planning to make a go of it through March. Was a bit disappointed that they have groomed out the bumps on Cleopatra and Uncle Bills Way. Run of the day was Cliffhanger, which I hit at least 6x.

Not real good cocoa. My girls are real slow drinking it, but like it as a warm up treat. If I got them each a full cup I would be drumming my fingers on the table for 45 minutes.

Took a different route home yesterday as I was going to my parents house, so I drove by the famed Sheetz. Unfortunately was not hungry enough to stop after a day of brown bagging and splitting a hot cocoa. Hope I did not break their table by busting out 3 granola bars as we drank the cocoa.

Yep way better than the conditions last weekend at Frost
