i was hoping you would be a little slow to figure that out, and i would have a pre loaded weekend day on my card compliments of Moe.

wanna reload it on one of my cards? i have no problem with you doing that.

Met up with PC on the slopes at 11 am. Off trail stuff was ok, kinda dust on crust. Snow on the slopes was awesome. Sun came out real nice about noon, which made for a great day. Tbolt and Exhibition were the ROTD. Left just after 2 to get first chair at Boulder for a little variety. My favorite trail dragonfire was primo with lots of freshly groomed cord for a big 15 second run. Big Boulder trail has some very interesting weirdo rollers on it, unlike years past that had the 3 big jumps on it. it skied very weird, but skiers left was a small area of untouched pow, probably about an inch or so that made things very spicy. (lets remember this is PA, 2015). Lower snowdrift was roped off, and they have 3 fan guns in it. its not clear what they are doing in there, but it basically mirrors the weird stuff on BB trail. i have never seen them actually blow snow in there before. Runs were short, lifts were slow and uncomfortable, but the place was empty and the snow was great. Wmgk was in the house with lots of give outs, trivia games, and a U2 cover band. i was unable to win some decent swag because my U2 phone-a-friend was slow responding to texts. Tomorrow is destined to be epic.

Radar looks great right now. Unless of course you're Jeff or doug.

Honey bee bowl needs a little help, but it was a decent afternoon.

I think we need this Saturday thing to shift west. Looks like chadds peak is in the jackpot zone as of now.

i am pretty sure they did it starting maybe 2-3 yrs ago as well. My pass from Mbike isnt good on Fridays, so i assumed this was still the case. It appears as though they were unable to persuade the rest of the population that Friday was to be considered a weekend, and it looks like they have bailed on the idea.

My bad....not this Friday. i wasnt paying attention to the dates real well. next Friday and 2 others in Feb. https://www.facebook.com/events/858098760909638/?ref=3&ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular

I am wondering if you and Jeff leaving Saturday will bring the storm up the coast more or push it out to sea. i have been hearing snow starts friday night, snows all day saturday, if it does what its supposed to. but its still so up in the air. 0-16 inches is my call for every storm now. in the law of averages, i bet that works out pretty well.

My first pick would be morning, but stupid work keeps getting in the way. i have a meeting till about 10:30, pick up dog, up to Albrightsville, then down to Blue, i am thinking the earliest would be 4 pm unfortunately. Friday is Ski Bum Customer day. $33 tickets for anyone who didnt know.

i think i will take advantage of all the fresh powder that todays storm will annihilate Blue with. I was thinking a late afternoon/evening session on Thursday. Is Thursday night still ski club night? Anyone else gonna be around?

0-16" for the Poconos. I think it might be a little early yet to be putting numbers on saturdays event. I feel like the general consensus is, nobody knows really how this storm will track.

So easy just to swipe a CC instead of carrying cash on a trip.

What i typed sounded better in my head than when i re-read it. i dont blame him at all for not posting here any longer, either. Maybe this is a better statement......, it sucks that someone that used to post up decent ski shit, instead of what someone had for lunch and where, doesnt post here any longer.

Actually, whats really lame is the fact that Johnny Style doesnt post here anymore.

i dont know, it looks pretty similar to what i skied at Frost on Saturday....... i hope you can pick up on my sarcasm there. i would take that one run over everything i skied this past weekend.

My bad...for some reason i thought lift jumping was 2011. 2010 it was. That was a great day. i think the mid week powder day at Blue last year may still be tops in PA for me though.

Did you get to jump off a ski lift that day?

I'm hungry.

you are a better man than i am. i really wanted to tough it out a little longer than i did, but it was just to cold for me, i lasted all of an hour. i had a home project to attend to, so skiing wasnt really my first priority today. Coverage is better. you can make a few turns on the right side with some soft-ish snow, but once you cross over the baller route its really, really firm snow. there is still some exposed thorny ground cover that would definitely mess up Angry Hugos high priced pants, or anybodys for that matter.

Picked up my goofy buddy Jay at the unbelievably early hour of 9 am, and pulled into the lot around 9:30. Conditions were really pretty nice today. Lazy mile was particular nice since they were blowing on some of it. Just a few spots scraped off on a few trails by the time we left. they groomed and opened whatever "s" shaped trail is right under the lift. it looked like it should have been nicely groomed soft snow but it was the opposite. it sucked. Racers on Razors, so that was closed. the rest of what they were blowing on looked like it should be ready to go very soon. Od'ed on perogies at CBI. Fun day.

That was $10 Tuesdays. Gone like George Cantstanzya.

Gonna ski Friday at Blue, and there are some rumors of some freshies on Friday, but we shall see. So, whats not open?

2/13/2014. That day made Blue awesome.

According to POC, it would run exactly twice. I dont see what all the scuzzlebutt is really all about with the long haul. i have been there 4 times, and rode it two of them. its not like its the first mountain where you have to take 2 lifts to get to the top.
