Thanks, but it wouldn't be much help. Well, today it would have because I'm dumb and started with the windshield instead of doing the smart thing and letting that melt with the defrost while I chipped the ice off the hood and roof. I normally just let it run to melt, at least to the point where the large scraper/squeegee clears it easily. But today I had to clear all that ice off the rest so I didnt kill someone if it blew off on 378 or 309

Me too, but the van doesn't fit through the door with the ladder rack

Here’s hoping you have a less eventful flight than @phillycore did at Elk on Friday!

Leaving for work sucked this morning: Took like 35 minutes to clear all the ice off the van. An inch thick on the hood and roof. A hard 1/4 inch or more on the windows.

Yeah, but I feel like it doesn't really have to be done on Challenge while Razors is closed, especially when the race on razors is starting from Razorback and the whole top is empty. Poor management of finite resources is all

I've also seen them doing sled practice on Challenge while Razor is closed for the race team, taking up 1/2 that trail as well, so there's that

Didn’t have much issue with the drive in to work on more main roads. A little slicker but passable on side roads down in Sellersville/Bedminster area. Might be spicy driving home noonish

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the hour commute in a RWD cargo van

What Phillycore said. If you can do it on a weekday and willing to deviate, you won't beat Elk. If it has to be between Blue and Camel, to me it's an easy choice. Blue on a weekday, Camel on a weekend. For one ski day, would prefer Blue. But on a weekend with no VIP access, the lines would be intolerable. At least at Camel you would have the singles line at the quad and several fixed grip options with shorter waits.

I'm betting $449. There was a slight contraction on all deal prices this year, less discount on gift cards and one day passes sold on Black Friday, so to me that points to a minor increase. Unless there's a condo balloon payment due. Then all bets are off.

I think he has Asperders

Had a half day scheduled tomorrow for an afternoon dentist appt, but they called today to say they were expecting to close early, wanted me to come in today. I'm sure I'll have to drive in to work in the morning, they never pull us out. So, depending on driving conditions, could go up about 1, or not at all, lol

Nice. How is Bruce?

Yeti makes more sense as “beginner terrain park” just couldn’t picture the jumps in there being aggressive enough. Probably lost control off of a jump and ran off the trail skiers left

Update says that he was not wearing a helmet, and went off a small jump in the beginner terrain park (Come Around?) and into the trees.

Widowmaker is always at least ankle deep

Probably cancelling Sausage Sunday. Pops is having some knee pain and not planning on skiing. He has all the tailgating equipment, and no chance I'm going out to get it at this hour

Invisible Charc is definitely not giffcards. He actually has the capability of rational thought, even though it’s most of the time misdirected. This wasn’t even a bad TR, just waxing a bit too poetic for the crowd about a subject most of the crowd doesn’t care much for (parks) using references most wouldn’t get unless they carried a subscription to Thrasher magazine back in the day and count among their most worldly possessions their VHS copy of Gleaming the Cube. I’m sure Blue stealing from us is about how they take our money for lift tickets only to make us stand in long lines on the weekend, and also close 2-4 trails for racing despite charging full price. Oh, and also how their website promises trails grand vistas of the Rockies but fails to deliver.

We incorporated Gritty into the unofficial logo of our CommTech Jeopardy team this year:

I don't have any eminent trips, so no worries. Next weekend may be another Sunday only weekend for me, but we'll see what shakes out

Took day off after hard day skiing at Elk yesterday, and Pops had to work this morning. Be there tomorrow for a Sausage Sunday!

That'a deal then! That stuff's hella expensive. I mean, so I've heard . . .

Wonder if it comes furnished?

Lol, you simply don’t understand the difference between a liquid asset, and merchandise, which is what you have. The reason they WOULDN’T give you cash, is because WHAT THEY GAVE YOU ISN’T WORTH $1500! The Blue bux or whatever they call it is their way of rewarding their front line grunts with something that feels like it’s worth a lot more than it is. They give you mountain credit knowing that you will have to trade it in for things that ACTUALLY cost them far less than the price on the tag. And if they get redeemed for passes, even better, because the marginal cost is negligent and the reduced potential liability (this is what a gift card truly represents to a merchant) is significant. Look, I’ve been real nice to you in this thread so far, but I can tell we’re simply not playing on the same mental plane here, so for this one last post, i’ll speak your language: You are a ignorant moron who doesn’t understand the basic concepts of economics. I fear for you to think that sandwich slinger at Blue Mountain might have been your primary source of income, but considering racking up that much Blue Bux at 4 bits an hour – well, I just pray there are no dependents. You’re obviously not the sharpest edge in the ski shop because if you had more brains in your head than shit in your pants you would have at some point in the 5 alleged years you were employed at Blue found some way to get yourself into a more lucrative situation there than hairnet jockey, maybe giving lessons and hustling for tips and picking up some real coin instead of drowning in the grease trap and thinking you were getting one over on the man every time you snuck a chicken finger when the boss wasn’t looking. I’ve never spoked pot (sic) in my life, not that I give a rat’s ass what some toothless zinc-y no name coward on the Internet thinks of me anyway. Have fun trying to hawk your gift cards on the elsewhere of life; realize that you came into the middle of a hangout of a couple dozen of the most hardcore Blue regulars that exist, people who are at the mountain literally every weekend, and couldn’t comport yourself with enough decorum, intelligence and dignity to get a decent cash return for your non-cash (I really can’t stress that too many times) asset, so good fuckin’ luck with the Toms, Dicks and Harrys of the world. I hope you get your kidneys harvested in a Craigslist sale gone wrong. Fuck Off And Die, and please try to center all the toppings on my Quarter Pounder the next time I come through the drive-thru, I hate it when you fuckers just sling that shit in there all willy nilly and I get a half a cheese slice stuck to the package.

$30 tickets for next Friday at Buckman’s. Just sayin’.
