Thanks, tough old girl, still mentally with it for the most part.

Tough year Mom had Covid, heart attack, Mersa, kidney stones, and septic shock. She’s still alive and turned 96 in November. Bear creek once . II actually got out BC more than lift served.

A couple observations about Freefall. The East side was a fun traverse and zip in the trees and then drop to the edge of where the trail turns west. There was like a small half pipe with bumps next to the snowgun towers . I found a couple rocks hiding , as the season progresses that’s going to be a cool place. The last gun tower before the merge has a neat kicker jump with a drop off and safe spot to brake before the merge. Lots of loitering by the merge. I like the choice in fall lines, fun trail! Unfortunately I didn’t make it up to Blue last year . My friend Paul said it was open last year after a big natural snowfall. They let it bump up and didn’t groom. Kinda wondering what the big deal is because it’s got a new name ?

I was in line when It did and all I could think of was the poor bastards who got stuck in front of the snow guns. Next run I shared a chair with one lol Glazed donut 😀

Doing my best to ski in the bumps. Nice all around today.

Are they still using a chiller to cool the water before it goes into the distribution pipes? I remember an article somewhere that the system cools the water to 39f . I’ve seen some pretty impressive snowmaking efforts over the years. Their ponds are sizable as well.

I had first tracks at Sugarloaf one year and the night before they groomed. 3” on top was awesome the next day! Closest thing to flying without being in the air !
-
Hopefully they leave it ungroomed

Around Blue there seems to be a black hole that accelerates you to ludicrous speed. I've seen people claim 75 on razors edge ....No Bueno

They should play a mister softy tune (ice cream truck)while driving in 😀

Not too shabby today. One more and heading out. It’s getting good where the sun is softened it up. Would like to stay longer but work

Too many shrooms
-
What does the Shroom say for Friday ?
-
Cool I've got some touring places around Beltzville . It's been a long time sine I've done shrooms but I'll trust you.

Sounds like you have an exclusive Covid strain.
-
Well I’ve been on the south side of the lake when a front came though and blew all the fog off . So I guess if the direction is right. Lol Or maybe a school of Crappie tanking shelter under the Buoy 😁
-
So Lake effect, good for 3 flakes lol

Please explain the significance of Beltzville for this newb please.

Dang, Looks like I’m going to have a bit of a wait to ski some descent bumps. Couldn’t make it today. Monday morning it’s going to be 26 . Will there be anything left Sunday later?
-
I rode on 2 I don’t remember if there was another. Short with respect to the mountain. They had offsets to control speed . Water would backup in the offsets and act like a brake but if you didn’t pull up on your tube when you hit those you would loose momentum and have to get off and run to get going again. That’s what caused the long lines. I would do it again but not on a weekend.
