haha! totally agree. I'm signed up too. i hope they realize there's interest in ski touring and possibly consider it for next year. (fingers crossed). The few times I go to camelback, I only go there because of their loose uphill policy.

per us', the Blue Mountain site is whack. Here's the better link about the "Earn Your Turns" event. https://www.skibluemt.com/upcoming-events/spring-back-at-blue/

Saw that Blue is allowing uphill ski touring on April 11th. I'm pretty pumped about it. https://www.skibluemt.com/outdoor/omt/challenge-race/ https://www.pretzelcitysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/21-Palmerton-Snow-Burn-Trail-Challenge-Individual-Form.pdf On mobile, it shows an "earn your turns" events but the desktop version doesn't show it. Weird. Is anyone planning to do it? Or, is anyone else coming to tailgate in the parking lot?

They had Wikipedia and YouTube when you went to high school?

Who does the graphic design of the PASR magazine cover? They have great photoshop skillz

I’m so glad I don’t have the job to manage on the ridiculous complaining. If you have a family of five, that’s on you.

I’ll be in Asheville for the weekend. please post any dancing videos.

I thought it saved $200+ initially but as I read it - it’s such a small difference. regardless, I still have a grad student ID and staff ID (from when I coached)

Skiing out west with newbies is always memorable. My brother & sister came out to Vail back in 2009. My brother lost his ski in tree well and my sister was rescued by a sexy Chilean man when she couldn't breathe due to the lack of oxygen. It's one of our favorite family memories.

I'm very tempted... I've been wanting to explore Whistler & Stowe for years. But, I love Alta & the Bird. Will there be a 2021/22 Telluride trip, @AtomicSkier?

Epic pass is $583. Epic college is $527. If you click the college pass, it doesn't seem to be any college verification. Seems like a glitch... Check it out if you want to save some dollars. (For Ikon, they use the Sheer ID verification system or you have to upload a transcript that goes through a manual approval) [edited: oops, just saw @toast21602's post ]

This is interesting.. thanks for posting @EdBacon!

Finding out who Rajeev is going to be like discovering who started writing Gossip Girl. xoxo (although, I’m sure that 99% of people here don’t get the gossip girl reference)

RAD!!! I'm looking at flights and considering something similar..

I've been curious about it, so I've gotten in a rabbit hole.... Started by reading this Outside article with a clickbait title (https://www.outsideonline.com/2069911/your-local-chairlift-death-trap). Sounds like Pennsylvania has inspectors and defines who can. Here are some Pennsylvania codes associated within "Elevator and Tramway Safety." http://www.pacodeandbulletin.gov/secure/pacode/data/034/chapter7/034_0007.pdf Page 132 outlines the maintenance requirements for Pennsylvania. In short: Inspections are once a year. Looks like it's about $3k per lift. https://www.dli.pa.gov/Individuals/Labor-Management-Relations/bois/fee-schedules/Pages/Fees-for-Elevators-and-Lifting-Devices.aspx Rope & cable inspections (intervals shouldn't be longer than those recommended by the track cable manufacturer) They have to outline their procedures, which include daily procedures that require. For the longer version, it includes things like: The type of lubricant and frequency of lubrication of each element involving moving parts. Stipulate that parts showing excessive wear shall be replaced immediately and, if possible, establish yardsticks to define excessive wear. include a schedule for checking and tightening all bolts especially on rope attachments. maintenance schedule shall establish a specific period of time which will represent one complete cycle of maintenance operations, including all component parts, assigning a time within such cycle for the maintenance work on each component. The schedule shall include a daily check of all normal operating brakes, all communications, and all stopping devices, both manual and automatic. A daily check shall also be made to assure that the counterweight sheaves are free to turn. periodic checks of all emergency brakes. signed complete log or diary shall be kept of the actual execution of maintenance work recorded daily Such log shall not only state that the component is given attention on that day, but also the condition of the component if it shows any signs of deterioration, and also the replacement of any components daily record of the position of all counterweights and bull wheel carriages

I would assume that we would be just as critical if it happened at Blue.. It's a serious incident. It's not just complaining about grooming and parking lots. Ski resorts are responsible for maintaining equipment, slopes, and ski lifts to prevent injuries. I get that parts break but it still seems like Camelback is at fault. The Camelback waiver (here) covers inherent risk. In short: It's inherently dangerous so use caution. Patrons have a duty to exercise good judgment and act in a responsible manner. Other risks include, but are not limited to: slips and falls, risk of drowning, and other inherent risks associated with amusement rides, swimming and wading pools and other attractions, wet and dry, that present the risk of injury or death. However, chairlifts coming off of a cable is not an inherent risk. There is a Skier’s Responsibility Act in 42 Pa. C.S. §7102. Check it out. In other cases, the courts seem to decide what is an inherent risk. Some sites say "If the skiing accident was caused by anything other than an “inherent risk” – such as a failure to provide safe equipment – the injured skier might be entitled to damages."

Looks like WFMZ picked up the story. https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/poconos-coal/witness-family-injured-when-chair-falls-from-ski-lift-at-camelback/article_690356ca-8b22-11eb-9b9d-3b938b1266ef.html

More people should alert. It'll grab their attention. Tell WFMZ.

I sent a new tips to WNEP and 2 philly stations. WNEP wrote back and said "we're working on this story today." So, there will probably be something out today.

if it's not negligence then what would it be?

This is great, @Kyle! 😂 bummed I missed the live performances

When I was skiing, I caught a couple pics of a guy wearing denim jeans & a duster jacket while mono skiing. conditions were fun, and it’s my last day at Bleu for the season, so I skiied more. I even found Waldo. If you zoom in, you can see the party happening in the aisle. This was probably around the time of some PASRs were eating meat and singing karaoke And of course, the iconic @enjoralasin his element, doing what he’s great at. Wally, also doing what he loves. Hanging in the lot and begging for someone to accidentally drop meat.

I’ll Be there 🎤

I really thought the pasr skis pulpit rock would have made the cover but maybe I’m bias 🤷🏼‍♀️

Found @Schifat the learning area. the next pasr issue can have ... how to make a ski bindle like the finest hobo
