Awesome. I would've loved to join you guys. Hadn't been to Blue in a few weeks though and had to be in Easton this afternoon anyway
-
Now is the perfect time to go. They just opened a few more trails. Another 4" overnight and it snowed off and on all day yesterday. The only closed trails I wanted to hit yesterday were upper extrovert and ditch glades. Probably could've ducked a rope at the end of the day for upper extrovert but I didn't bother.
-
Today was good...got crowded but no complaints from me. Got in 2 runs on Coming Soon...hit the glades off Lazy (blue baumer I think?) And the the sleepy hollow glades.

For me it's a little under 3 hours. It would be a bit further for Lehigh valley/ pocono people. Also, a full day lift ticket was a whopping $40. If you bring a season pass from another resort its $35, but I did an online ticket reservation so I didn't get that discount

I feel like everyone should ski/ride here at least once (on a good snow day). Except maybe Doug. No high speed lifts here I had to stop at a brewery...I really wanted to hit Levity Brewing in Altoona but it would have been a bit out of my way
-
Haha sorry for the multiple posts...I'm on my phone and its easier that way

And more pics...nice soft snow and bumps off a blue trail. .Deer run I think Lower extrovert I think...nice bumps and a good amount of powder at the end

Then time for a nice lunch... After that I hit some glades. Nice drop off of Stembogan toward east wall glades. First time through I wasn't ready for it and launched pretty far into the trees

Got on the snow around 10, which I think is when they open...access road was sketchy but otherwise the drive was fine. Did a few runs on the top to bottom trail on skiers left. Nice long run, 2 miles. Then time for a lift beer
-
I'll write a report later...cell service sucks here. That's Stembogan at Blue Knob. Pretty badass trail for PA

Storm & Weekend Roll Call 2/18-2/21/21

I should be there Saturday morning. Might take a day off Friday and go somewhere, but I'm thinking Blue Knob if I'm doing that (wrong Blue mountain for this thread, I know) -
Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?
PSUFrankenstein replied to Ride Delaware ?'s topic in General Chat
Montage too, and possibly Blue Knob... -
Awesome...in the off-topic section of the magazine, maybe we could have a recipe section (baking bread with Toast) and Automotive Section (car care with Salty - in this issue, topics include "WTF is an O2 sensor")
-
Appreciate the info. I'm hoping to get back there again this week or over the weekend. I'll definitely check out those lines.
-
Yeah it was Neversink...I'd like to explore it a bit more if we get some more snow this week. I know there's some steeper stuff there that I didn't get to.

Keep seeing all these backcountry reports you guys are posting and figured I'd better get off my ass and hike some runs... Checked out a spot just outside of Reading (I'm sure @Johnny Law is familiar with this spot). I swapped a set of bindings on my old Capita board and got to the spot around 2 today. First run was down this rocky mess. Through the woods, around those 2 logs at the bottom in the background, and back to the main trail. Hiked along some more and found some more lines that looked interesting. Took pictures of a few...mostly pretty mellow stuff, winding around trees, etc. Still plenty of snow. First attempt at a video with my phone (watch in the higher quality so it doesnt look like garbage). Clipped a rock and went for a tumble... Got up and started just above this spot... I got a knock-off go pro, still waiting on the memory cards to arrive. Maybe I'll get some videos that don't suck if the snow sticks around.

Stopped by French Creek park for a bit this afternoon...did a little hiking in search of some trout (unsuccessful).
