Lmao I looked up The Elevator on YouTube to see what it is and this is the first video that came up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOSwmli5_7M

Good doing runs with you eaf. I still can't believe we were sitting next to each other at the lodge, out of all the places to sit.

Floyds was pretty meh condition wise. It was still fun. All other runs were fantastic. I really enjoyed skiing glades.

??? Haha, no. Is that what the sign "enter if you dare is"? How difficult is the elevator?

Are you still here eaf? Im in the lodge

OK. You need a better plan. But dude you really need to upgrade that phone. You're running lollipop. That's 3 Android versions ago. You're taking rad pics at CB on a 5mp camera and even more rad selfies on a less than 1mp front facing camera which is probably why your profile pic is so blurry. Not to mention that 8gb of storage space that won't hold a lot of those rad shots. Those specs shouldn't exist in 2018. Upgrade and you'll see. One of these days. I still carry around a Canon Powershot that I bought in 2008 for trips and special occasions, and it takes decent pics, though nothing spectacular.

Thanks Steeze at least one person does on here.

Nah, I really dislike tablets. I find them too cumbersome to type on, so I prefer a laptop with a keyboard.

My phone isn't the issue, it's my service plan. I have an LGL33L and it does everything I need it to do. I'm usually around WiFi so I don't really need a lot of data. Plus I waste enough time online the way it is and I need to start doing more productive things with my time.

There's a restaurant called The Morning Toast on the way to CB.

I thought for sure you guys would give me more hell for this sloppy writing. I'm very meticulous when it comes to writing these reports and can't believe I missed that.

This morning's conditions were by far the best of the season at the mountain with the most skiable acres in the Poconos. I passed the toast sign on my way to Camelback which reminded me of toast. Then I parked in Lot 3 to get First Trax on the Sullivan Lift side, booted up in my car, and carried my new RTMs and poles up the hill towards the lift. The order of my first runs was Big Pocono, Asp, Rocket, Marjie’s, Upper and Lower Cleopatra, and then down the n00b hill to the Stevenson lift to hit up Nile Mile and then also Cliffhanger for the first time this season, which I did 7 times in a row. Conditions were top notch on most trails, except Cliffhanger which had some moderate death cookies in a few spots near the top due to its recent debut, but was still very rad. I found that carving on RTMs is lots of fun compared to on Elons, and found myself bored with all of the blue runs (except Big Pocono), so I stuck to mostly blacks throughout the day. It was by far the funnest skiing ever. Later on in the day, to change things up a bit and to search for some fresh powder, I made a run on Birches, which I consider the Juggernaut of CB because the beginning is very flat. Here I found some untracked pow on the far right side, and was able to found out exactly what it’s like to ski powder in Jackson Hole. But then I made the biggest mistake of the day. I found a huge powder stash on Laurel Glade – a massive hill of manmade snow under a snowmaking machine. Upon reaching the peak of this hill, I fell under all the powder and practically became buried. The light snow on the hill could not hold the weight of myself and my short RTM skis. I eventually climbed out of that predicament, and spent the next hour deicing my goggles and bindings and drying off my gloves and facemask in the lodge. The demo center helped to chip some ice off my bindings and didn’t even charge me anything. Around 1:30 I was hungry and getting a little tired, so I went to East Gourmet Buffet. There I had shrimp, mushrooms, white rice, hot and sour soup, and a Pepsi, which I considered a treat for myself due to the epic pow day, as I normally just get tap water. Afterwards I drove back to CB, but there were no parking spots anywhere except for at the snowtubing lot, which requires a long walk and wait for the shuttle. So at this point I decided to drive home, but first stopped at the outlets and bought some new shades. The first pair looked too much like Steeze’s shades, so I decided against them as not to emulate Steeze. Tomorrow I plan to return to CB for 7:30 am sharp and get all the fresh cord again, since I've become spoiled from this morning's conditions. Then on Monday I will buy a pass for Jack Frost and go there for the first time with a friend from college.

It's still an Android. I have been using an Android since 2014. Before that, I had a flip phone from 2005 to 2014. My $50 Android Tracfone performs the same exact functions that an I Phone does, except that my Android doesn't purposely slow down as the batteries age like in the I Phone does. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/12/27/16822736/apple-battery-slowdown-iphone-6-6s-se-lawsuit

Doesnt take that long but it just annoys me. But whatever this morning was insanely good. Lots of untracked pow and no crowds until around 10:30. i'll write a tr when I get home.

Hot and sour soup currently. I might see if I can get my favorite spot near Stevenson Lift. If not I'll head home. I refuse to deal with the shuttle nonsense.

Thanks!!!! this a fantasic deal! Unfortunately I cant take thursday off work but I will certainly do a night session.

? Do you mean to check out the powder?

Cliffhanger was amazing this morning. I think that was my best carving ever. Currently eating Chinese. Not sure I want to go back, it's become an absolute madhouse as expected and people were breathing down my neck for my close parking spot when I left. I might just go back tomorrow morning again for First Trax. I absolutely now see why you guys ski early on and quit before lunch.

Its so epic out. But I got trapped in a powder stash and now I'm covered in powder. Details to come tonight. Already made 23 runs.

Thanks for this fair and balanced report.

This is good advice, but sometimes people just sneak up behind me. I heard a rumor that no one passed you at all last season. Is that confirmed true??

Yeah, I have 1,003.11 megabytes left right now. I spent $10 to buy 500 MB. I figured out that if I disable images on my phone's browser it uses less data.

Lol, no. Do I look like a former football player?

I don't think so. I accidentally deleted my Ski Track history today at the end of the day, so I don't know what my top speed was.

Mostly check this forum on my phone, though I have limited data and there's no wifi in the lodge. Or just sit and warm up for 5-10 minutes every few hours.
