I recieved these southwest drink coupons after charging thousands of dollars for goods and services on my southwest credit card. If anyone wants to buy them from me i will discount them 10%. $6345. Let me know.

It was me. That blows me away.

QFT. Understandably you go out of your way to save a dollar. If Mr. Giftcards would have spent some time here first, he would have been able to figure out that his target audience for his 10% off giftcards is a really small percentage of the people here. Personally the deal seemed super shady to me, and didnt interest me in the least. The amount of hoops one was going to have to jump through in order to feel like giving a complete stranger cash for a piece of Blue Mountain plastic was a great deal where too significant, to save 30$-40$. Risk reward wasnt worth it in my book. Everybody likes to save money, but i always feel like my time (anytime) has a value, and these giftcards were going to require some time to get a hold of, and confirm the legitimacy of them. I am amazed at what people on ebay will pay for giftcards, and lift tickets that could be worth absolutely nothing.

They definitely did not. We asked the employees that showed up and got in the lineup what time they were told opening was, and they said 8 am. The guys running the lift were told 8 am as well. For future reference, it doesnt seem to matter much for future reference.

Oh, right....and you may not even get someone on the phone. and if i remember correctly from calling about the 8 or 8:30 opening debacle, the message usually doesnt get out until 7 am.

Call them? In general, it seems like society today wants to communicate through email, text, facebook, etc......I kind of hate it. I think when you need an answer for something, there is just nothing better than picking up the phone to get an immediate response. One time i was told by a customer who emailed me "i would have appreciated a quicker response." every email i send out has my cell on it. I just dont get if he needed an answer so quick, why did he just call?

Holy Fuck. Early bird gets the worm though.

My power is more likely to go out for no apparent reason than when it is windy.

so many weird noises last night. Most of which i found out this morning had to be my neighbors gate banging back and forth. Oddly enough, my electric didnt go out at all.

There should be something like the Postmaster General for ranking ski trails, maybe like "skimaster general". I dont think anything in the poconos should be labeled as double black. Challenge and Corbets are worlds apart in difficulty.

I heard they were giving out free cocoa Saturday morning. And Vail was gonna buy Blue. And Ryan was going to start posting.

Lots of high school kids, and seniors. Lift rides were interesting. Big time race team people too. They should have been running the quad.

Heard good things about Joey B's as well. Not this time though, i went home to make lunch. i dont live in a hotel you know. Palmerton is actually a cool little town.

Line 4 the 6 is out the scanners. Gonna be busy this weekend. I need to pee, nothing super awesome so i think i will split. Im kinds hungry too.

Kinda sugary. Challenge cookies.

Friday and Saturday......Sunday weather depending.

Dammit! i had a hat made up and everything.

This was posted somewhere else, but for my 4 days (no big pow days) i really didnt notice anything, but the routine is get in the line for the Gondola at 8-ish, get first Gondi, go ski, so i cant really compare the line for the gondola to last year. The comments are getting pretty interesting. one comment says JHMR is locked into the Ikon for 3 yrs. could be true, could be BS. That place is crowded on a pow day no matter what. What they probably cant take into account, is people like Jeff. He was skiing there this year whether he had the Ikon or not. it just made sense to buy the pass. so how many other people are there like Jeff?

How do you think the glades will be tomorrow? Asking for a friend thats going to ski tomorrow morning. Were you in the way of them marking stuff off? wait....they dont do that till long after opening. Seems like a friendly guy though.

Ha ha..

That dude got messed up.

You, Toast and Ryan should try to find him and fuck with him. Just for funsies.

Vail wouldnt do that. They probably wouldnt be selling a pass for $429 either. Which may not be a horrible thing.

And good beer. Oh, and lets not forget sausage sunday.
