so i've been looking every once and a while for people who do MTB at blue to post a video where one can see what is going on at the bottom of CS. usually it's POV and they keep riding and never look up. these guys posted a vid from a few days ago where they stop there and it's all clear. looks like add'l work was happening on paradise? not sure what that is all about. getting pumped. vid only relevant after 2m30s

i have a small bucket outside that is filled to the top at 5". no idea how much spilled over.

cant remember seeing this much rain before. looks like jim thorpe might get minor flooding. The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a * Flood Warning for the Lehigh River At Lehighton. * Until this afternoon. * At 3:30 AM EDT Monday the river level was 8.9 feet. * Flood stage is 10.0 feet. * Minor flooding is forecast. * Forecast...The river is expected to rise above flood stage early this morning to a crest of 10.5 feet. It should then fall back below flood stage late this morning. * Impact...At 9.0 feet, open adjacent land in Lehigh Gorge State Park floods. * Impact...At 10.0 feet, flooding begins in Jim Thorpe. * Flood History...This crest compares to a previous crest of 10.5 feet on 04/11/1993. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=phi&gage=lhtp1

been that way for a while. i don't think they've been on sale since maybe april? edit apr 27 at the earliest and i don't think they ever went back on sale between now and then.

well, why stop at padding the trail count... they can install a rope tow to add to the lift count!

This immediately came to mind --

yeah toast pointed out what you might be talking about.

sounds right. the largest lot to the top left has the owner as -- Aquashicola Little Gap Inc % R C Tuthill P O Box 216 Palmerton PA 18071 with that, i've tallied 31. the other two are prob random lots.

this is everything containing tuthill (Tuthill Corp, Tuthill Corp The, Tuthill Corporation) (12) everything adjacent to it except the bottom left of the image (BM waterpark) looks like privately owned lots based on the names.

carbon's last GIS update says Jul 9 (shown on the white left pane), so probably isn't reflected yet. i'm sure they have some weird lots, but searches gave me this number min (29) 'tuthill' - 12 'blue mountain' - 1 'blue mtn' - 16

thanks, never knew that was a thing.

on the news this AM, the natgas pipeline that was supposed to go through carbon county has been put off indefinitely by penneast and they are exploring other options (maybe another route, who knows). but it doesn't sound like anything's happening sometime soon. condos might be slightly delayed another 5 years. this was the proposed route... unrelated, i was looking at the GIS and all of the land to the left of where you drive into the summit lot is owned by blue mtn waterpark ltd partnership. deeded 2009, i guess they abandoned that tho.

they do the blue burn or whatever where you basically make a loop around the mtn bottom to top to bottom i think. you can track times (like the winter leaderboard) with the RFID card at different stations.

i can attest to the fact that shit is way steeper than when you're on skis. last summer, i walked from the summit lodge to sixer and thought i was gonna die. pretty sure my wife and dog wanted to murder me because i originally (and honestly) didn't think it was nearly as steep a walk as it was. did the chairlift ride, you can walk wherever you want, they just emphasize to get back to the quad before whatever time it stops running. be forewarned that it's gonna be a blue square walk to main st and a double black diamond one back to the quad... edit - nvm i just remembered sidewinder was roped off, so maybe not everywhere

i saw taht a cpl days ago, my guess is they're connecting where CS hits paradise at the bottom?

not seeing value in that one but thanks for the heads up. they registered at least 3 entities in DE - BMR Resort, LLC, Blue Mountain Resort, LLC and BMR Operations, LLC.

it's not always about having a website. sometimes it's about preventing someone else from putting whatever they want there. they also might have wanted to have @bmrrresort.com email accts since its a combo of tuthill+blue+ksl.

i went to try and snag bmrresort.com but it was registered Apr 2021. they are not incorporated in denver. i went to colorado's site, no results, so i went to the business haven of the US (delaware) and found it there. it was formed apr 19 2021 the domain was registered apr 22 by someone in china, presumably they are just searching new business formations and registering domains. bmr dropped the ball by not registering it. it's also possible that it is a business unrelated to blue, but i doubt it. i'm not paying to find out more details. if someone else wants to, go ahead. https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/ecorp/entitysearch/NameSearch.aspx file number 5850884

Maybe they'll end lot shenanigans and charge for parking.

ugh

Looks like the old mainesource in FF

those are legit. i cut it off last wknd

it'd be nice if they created a path new trail from the first turn of paradise onto coming soon. access with both lifts. maybe take out a chunk at the bottom of paradise and force them further to the left.

wasn't quite the heap that i had expected.
