That sounds like a good time.

FWIW, Sno never really closes when they do due to lack of snow.. they close because it's just not worth running the entire mountain for the passholders who are only there cuz it doesn't cost them.

California...

according to what I hear... fleaguy's hoping the season to end so he can buy a wakeboard boat for this summer!

Nice to see your hard work yield results.

This Thursday I believe is going to be our last Sno race. We'll be in KMart for the final race. So 2 Tuesday Boulder races, 1 Thursday Sno race, then 5 days in Killington. Fleaguy's ski bum life lasts only for January and February. It takes a lot to convince him to vacation w/ us for just ONE weekend in March. His priorities are all screwed up!!

Personally, I would rather a shitty pipe than no pipe. Nope. Not even their mini (regular-sized) pipe. I guess in the end halfpipes are something that cost tons of time, money, effort to get right... and when they're not perfect, the mountains hear about it. I don't blame the mountains for not having them, the advantages of having them never live up to the investment put into them.

I'm not totally sure why their park isn't "real". Some of those jumps and rails are easy enough I can hit. Some of them are real tough that I struggle on. And some of them are so big and crazy that they make my asshole pucker just looking at them. Sounds like a good day. Sucks I was left out nursing this lame cold.

And I thought strapping in/out of regular snowboards before and after each run was a PITA.

LOL, get your story straight before you go putting others down.

Coors Light's Philly and NEPA distributors have the money. Rocky Mountain Freeride I'll be up there tonight.

Anyone catch the Russian womens curling team??

Heh, my mistake. I went to that site before and clicked on Schedule and Results instead of TV Listings. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks. However, still bad news... that 5-racer coverage of the downhill was in fact all they showed....

Is there a site that shows what channel NBC is going to show specific events? I have the Olympics DVR'ed on NBC alone... and they only showed like 5 f'n mens downhill racers. The rest is ice skating. wtf.

Torchlight parade & fireworks at 6:30 PM. Should be a good time.

Perhaps he was stuck at work.. like I am now. I might be going up a little later (5ish).

Rock on!

The only thing I can think of (and this is extremely minor) is on the Race League page, perhaps changing where to find the results from mstinc.org to corporateraceleague.com. Natress keeps this one pretty up to date. Again, nice job. That's all I got!

LMAO Great find!

Anyone out there interested in trading 2 anytime/anyday passes for CB for 2 of my anytime/anyday passes for JFBB?

I understand you're trying to help, and give real feedback... but ya did throw in an all caps F bomb.... which would have me ignore the post assuming it's just another butthurt rant if I were an actual mountain rep. Personally, I always felt Sno's jumps were extremely awkward. You go down a steep, hit a flat, then climb this enormous mound of snow hoping you don't lose all your speed in order to clear it. I would love to see Sno ditch that method and go with a wedge-style jump *right* before a headwall.... and use that steep headwall as the landing. I don't know. There must be a reason they do it like that.... I'd love to know. But either way, I don't think their park is that subpar. Yeah Boulder's got it beat, but I really don't think Sno's competing for those kids (the hardcore park rats).

...on Thursday the 28th and receive positive rep from me. (AKA, the 1/28/10 TR) Wow, I have to hand it to you guys.. if I didn't have a team race with team mates depending on my time, there's no way I would have went out. The wind in the parking lot alone would have made me turn around and drive home. It was so cold up top, that when I went down the hole and was sitting on Pheobe... I was squirming in pain as all the blood rushed back into my fingers and toes.. lol. Sno did have their guns going.. but I'm pretty sure that snow was landing in Elmhurst. Hopefully that wind died down at some point, because I'm hoping for some good snow to ride on this weekend.

Here ya go.

1, Sno's prices are probably some of the lowest in PA. On top of that, there are some ridiculous discounts to be had if you're willing to look (the family deal, Scranton Ski Club's deal, etc.) 2, Why the hell are we still arguing over a high speed lift? Didn't all those who call Sno their home mountain all agree that a HSQ would be overkill for this mountain? There's no such thing as a lift line at Sno..... so a HSQ is simply not needed. 3, I get disappointed when I see everyone take the best of one mountain, and try to compare it to Sno. Yeah Blue's high speed lifts rock, but how's their snow quality? Yeah Boulder's park kicks ass... how's their crowd? Sno isn't Blue, it isn't Boulder, it isn't Camelback. All mountains have pros and cons.. to take a pro from one mountain and be dumbfounded when that specific quality is a con here Sno, is unfair. Everyone that skis here do so for a reason. Sure proximity is a major factor... but there are still qualities that make Sno a pretty nice place to call home.
