Thanks...if any of you guys venture up to Montage, let me know and I'll make sure I bring extra beer. I ride solo all the time anyway. I'm gonna try to go again this weekend, but if it rains I may cut out of work early Friday and do an afternoon session.

Snowing pretty hard in West Chester...Wife said roads are pretty bad at home (Reading area). I'll probably just wait it out at work, traffic looks ugly on Google Maps. Looks like possible rain this weekend but hopefully that'll change

Yeah it has been running every time I've been there. That has only been on Saturdays so far though, so I'm not sure if they run it every day. The Phoebe Snow lift broke a few weeks ago when I was on it, so I was happy the Long Haul was running then.

I'm interested to see the new trail. I probably won't go either, at least any time soon, but the few times I rode Camelback and it wasn't crowded, I had fun.

Thanks guys. I like Montage, the fact that it's never crowded is one of the main reasons I go there. It's actually a little further than Blue for me, but I figured if I bought the pass and ended up using it only a few times, I wouldn't be too bummed out. Normally I'll bounce around a bit and do a few trips to Montage, Jack Frost, and sometimes Blue. I try to do a trip to Colorado once a year if I can, my best friend growing up moved to Steamboat 8 or 9 years ago. Thanks! I started saltwater fly-fishing 4 years ago or so, and it's become a bit of an obsession. That was a ~30 lb redfish that I caught in Hopedale, LA (not far from New Orleans) in December.

I have a pair of Ride Intuition Boots, 2017 model I think. They're starting to tear in a few spots, but still have a decent amount of life left. Size 9.5. They're free to a good home, I upgraded to a pair of Burton Rulers (which actually fit me better as a size 9). I hate to throw out the Ride boots, so if anyone can use them, let me know. I live outside of Reading, work in West Chester.

Thanks Barb! Been lurking for too long, probably should've joined sooner Thanks - I made it a point to take some pics this time so I could post a decent report.

Hey guys...been lurking here a long time, just reading reports and stuff...I bought the cheap season pass to Montage that was posted in this forum (I appreciate the heads up on that), so I think I at least owe a few reports. I've been riding most Saturdays since early January, but this is my first report. Got there around 8:30 and took a run down Cannonball. It was pretty firm which is what I expected, but not terrible. Next run I cut down Fast Track or Runaway (can't remember which) to get to the Long Haul. It has actually been running every time I've been there. Had a nice session IPA on the lift and did a few top to bottom runs. After that, lapped Boomer and Smoke a bunch. Conditions there were pretty good and softened up as the day went on. They mowed down the rollers and bumps on Boomer that were there two weeks ago. Did some nice faster runs, which was fun, but I did miss the bumps. Hit White Lightning once, which was ok but not great - firm and icy in spots. Left around 12 and stopped at Breaker Brewing for lunch. Beer was awesome as usual. I look forward to the brewery stop almost as much as the mountain. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the report. I'll try to post some more reports as the season goes on (or I could just keep updating this thread). I'm going to try to go most weekends. It's tough with a 1 year old at home, but I can usually get a morning session in.
