Yeah I am gonna try to fish again for a bit later. I'm a total gaper when it comes to trout fishing but it was awesome just being out on the river first thing. Dropped into the lower east wall just to the right of this picture. Not too hard core compared to the other hike to stuff but the snow was great.

Yeah I bought a 1 day license and I can add extra days if i want. Got on the snow around 10 15. Light crowds and about an inch of fresh. Hitting some stuff off the black mountain lift to warm up.

Fished a bit this morning...dropped one fish, caught none and also fell in a snowbank. My friend is running late so I'm on my way to a basin in a few and ill meet him later

Damn I would have been in for a beer. Hopefully you're going somewhere fun too.

Thanks, looking forward to it. I'm not looking forward to the late night drive from Denver to Silverthorne but at least traffic should be light

Waiting at PHL airport now, plane boards around 6. Flying into Denver and then staying in Silverthorne. My buddy from Steamboat is meeting me tomorrow and staying a few days. Plan is Arapahoe basin tomorrow, Copper Friday, and Loveland Saturday. My Saturday night flight home got canceled so I'm staying in Denver Saturday night and heading home on a 9am flight Sunday. I'll try to post pics over the next few days and some reports...probably more pics when I get home as I tend to use my camera instead of the phone if I can

Minefire is awesome...I don't think I've really had a bad beer from them, they're easily one of my favorite breweries.

True, plus you could stop at Breaker Brewing afterwards if you went to Montage. Cameltoe has faster lifts, so you could get more runs in there probably...plus it's free

You had me questioning it for a second, then I looked at the calendar and remember what day it was.

Today was fun...good times and decent snow. Sidewinder was fun despite the bare spots. Nightmare/dream weaver was good too. Meats and crackers were good, as were the brats from Mike. Had fun hanging with you guys, looking forward to next season. Sincerely, PSUFrankenstein

Bummer. My kid has been sick most of the week but luckily slept ok last night. I'm running late but should be there around 8

Welcome...hope to see you in the parking lot next season. Hanging out in the parking lot can be as fun as the skiing.

Yeah it's all good, I was just poking fun at their post. Like you said, at least they gave a heads up on the updated closing date.

Yeah I know that's what they meant. But the way they worded it (Pond skimming AND closing day has been moved up) just made it sound people were begging blue to close a day earlier.

Haha...the people spoke that they wanted Blue to close a day earlier? Hmm... I'm planning on Saturday morning unless something else comes up.

I'm planning on either tomorrow night or Saturday morning. Probably Saturday morning.

I'd like to go to Montage again one more time this season, but I doubt it will happen since I leave for CO next Wednesday.

Montage is saying 4-6 as their last day. Last time I was there they did have a lot of snow on the north face but not sure how conditions will be

Halfpipe looks great. I think they may be one of the only places in PA that still has one besides maybe 7 springs

Awesome wish I could have been there today. Yesterday was still fun though

Good time today. I thought it was going to be pretty icy but it was much better than expected. Hit Challenge a few times to start off then Lazy and Switchback. Upper Main street was good, lower was a little crusty. No crowds or lift lines...few beers in the parking lot to end the morning. I hope to make it one night this week or next weekend for a morning session

Montage is claiming 5" of snow, so I would imagine Elk got the same, if not more. And yeah, I doubt Elk will be crowded.

Nice pics, hope you get a nice powder day today

I'll be there tomorrow morning for opening (although I have to get my pass so I may not make first chair). I have to hit the road by 12 since the wife will be out of town tomorrow afternoon/sunday.
