I bet they will stay open a week longer than Blue. Blue better step it up. Tuthill's Daughter needs to fire back. Maybe give free passes and an order of Fried Oreos to anyone with a CB pass.

I always love how people feel the need to bust on people who work for their parents. I wish my Dad owned a successful business; trust me I would be working for him. If I have a son, someday hopefully he will be working for me. One of the greatest things in this country is the small businesses that have been able to survive and be passed down from one generation to the next.

So today was a field trip for Mr. Skis 2nd Grade Class.

What are you doing that has your working 7-7?

I approve, there is nothing more important than spending time with your kids on the slopes. Is Ty in public or private school?

Best deal on season passes start now for next year at a few resorts, but most offer their best deals in the Summer and early fall. Most ski swaps are around Columbus Day Weekend.

Nice Job Ty!!! Ski I like the middle name. Although, I think Snow would have been a better fit, all things considered.

Start saving, with our weak dollar you will probably have to take out a second mortgage on your house to pay for the trip. Since you have never been out west before, why not start with a trip to CO, MT, UT, or WY?

What happened to him? What about Skimom? Did I miss something?

Yea, But unfortunately were to old.

Hey Ski, Back in your CB days were you day tripping from NJ or did you have a house in the Pokes?

We were on te East Mountain and heard the Medi-Vac. Glad to hear you are alright.

Great report. One might think that you were once a ski reporter. Your captions are second to none. I'd love to give you the picture writing prompts for the 5th grade state test. Your responses could probably be published.

Good point, but if you use it 4 times it's only costing $25 a pop.

It is totally worth it. Next year I'm going to get it and hit a bunch of day trips in March.

IMO you are way off the mark on this. Lake Harmony has way more of a Pocono Mountain feel to it. The Bars and restaurants are packed on the weekends with people who spent the day on the Mountain. More than half of the cars in any of the lots have ski racks on them. Most of the homes between BB and JF are filled on the weekends with people who are up there to ski. Happy hour at The Rock Bar, Nicks, Shennanigans, and the Mountains Edge are filled with people still in their gear. Breakfast at the Terra Cottage and Piggy's is filled with people on their way to the slopes. When I first brought people to my houses in Split Rock and Towamensing Trails who had previously stayed near CB or Shawnee, they couldn't believe the difference in the off mountain surrounding area. In 2001 and 2002 I had a season pass at CB. In 2002 my family sold the house in Split Rock, but I still rented a place near Lake Harmony even thought it was a 30 minute drive to CB where I continued to get a season pass, because the off mountain scene is so much better in Lake Harmony. The crowd is from mid 20 professionals to mid 30-50 year old families. When I'm near CB getting gas or go to the outlets I feel like I am in North Jersey, which is fucking disgusting. When I'm near Sno or Elk I feel like there is more of a Scranton feel then a skiing mountain vibe going on.

Skiing in the rain is good, just don't try to make a day of it. After about 3 hours you will be to wet to go on.

I thought I saw you hangin out at the Bull and the Bear...

I hope you at least mentioned it to him first. I couldn't imagine my wife coming home and telling me she just bought a house.

Interesting that a non skier would want a house in the Poconos.

Do they make snow? Have you ever skiied there?

Where in Bucks do you live?

If you ever need a substitute husband, let me know. On second thought, I'd probably be more like having a 3rd son.

Does your husband stay at home and take care of the alley, or does he not ski?
