The rhododendron were so thick in there. It must have taken it 100 years to fill in like that after the logging stopped. Oh and apparently there's a huge wildfire in South Jersey. 3200 acres burned. 3000 people evacuated so far and the Garden State Parkway is shutdown. Only 5% contained and I just heard about that. Wild.

4-5 inches on top of the ridge at Delaware Water Gap. Couldn't see anything from the top.

Yeah man. Extreme edging is something you gotta work up to.

You gotta work on your edging.

Vail just announcing $100 million in "cost saving efficiencies" so who knows.

I liked the broken glass and skiing under the high tension line.

I mean favors in the sense that they keep it open more than two months total. They haven't exactly spread the love around at JF either.

When BB was a terrain park it had a justification for staying open. Vail very obviously favors JF over BB. I guess BB is small enough that Vail doesn't notice the loss on their overall bottom line.

I don't hate Mountain Creek.

Yeah they were doing a pond skim thing and a "rail jam" with the one rail in the "terrain park". The place felt very sad.

I'll give them another week before BB closes. Stopped by for about a half hour today around noon. Place was almost empty.

No that's a Camel Top.

Vail released Epic pricing for next season. The full Epic Pass is now $1051. The NE Value Pass is starting at $642. Looks like prices are up 7% from last year. These are early bird rates.

The Nut! I was there once like twenty years ago. I should go back.

$399 at Montage plus the Indy add-on is an absolute steal.
