That's a pretty nice price. Any news on keeping that weekend morning ticket? that was awesome.

Sounds like you may want to try the Nordica line. People laugh, and then call other people over to look when they put my feet in those measuring devices. i'm a good size and half difference, the shorter one is wider.....etc, etc.. The Salomon and Atomics I tried on were like some type of torture device. Everybodys foot is different though. try on lots. With goofy feet like mine, internet boots are not a good idea. paying extra to get a boot that fits right will pay off in the long run. Buckmans in KOP was good for me.... you may want to wait until October when they really start to get their inventory in, or you may not have access to some of what they carry.

its never really too early to start talking ski trip. Sent from my HP Pavillion using my 2 index fingers.

i guess he was saving up for that Super PoleCat for his backward like he always wanted. looks like that aint gonna happen. well, maybe he'll be getting a super pole up his backside in carbon county jail.

He go work for Sno?

That is pretty cool.....be neat to check someplace like that out.... For some reason "hot tub time machine" is replaying in my head though.

Good news. Hope everything goes well.

Why the bash on KC? you know he wasnt an owner, right? He didnt fuck the place up. As far as i could tell, he was helping to hold the place together. I give KC props for sticking around pasr, and actually Sno for that matter.....i mean, every other mountain rep has been chased off of here. KC was out on the mountain taking pictures, talking to people...etc....very visible representative from the mountain. Just so you know, you wont find a guy walking around JFBB that looks anything like the picture in fluffys posts.

Really fun day yesterday, good times. Kudos to Peak for keeping Frost open this late in the year.

This is actually somewhat similar to how they normally close Frost, never a real definite date, just a "we will see how things hold up". you leave for the weekend thinking they will be open the following weeknd, and then midweek decide they have had enough, but, they keep boulder open. yippee. I know excactly how you feel. This year they really extended the season at frost, so i give them kudos there. Maybe it makes up for grooming out every inch of fresh powder....maybe. i was kind of wondering how long they would stay open past the 6th, which was suppossed to be the closing date for the sale. Since the bank owns the property now at at about half of what they are owed on it, i can see how they wouldnt care about Joe Passholder, or making a couple of bucks.....to them its like pisssing into the wind. And i am pretty sure they have no interest in running the place, alot more interest in selling the place.

Sunday was good for sure, that little bit of snow we got saturday made the slopes nice. Like you said, not much left to challenge glade.

" We were supposed to get up to 2 feet of snow but only got 10" over 2 days." wow, i am sooooooo sorry to hear that Barb. i think we have something like 20" for the season.

Vinny, compare prices you find online with what the shops are putting out now. i have purchased skis online, but have always bought bindings from the ski shop. Most ski shops will charge about $75 to mount bindings to skis if you havent purchased either from them. most ski shops will charge $25 to mount bindings purchased from them, on skis you walk in with. I never felt the pricing online for bindings would over come the difference in the charge to mount.

wow, thats a late season for frost. i'm ok with it though.

^^ i get that the bank would have kept bidding it up. They outbid the partnership by 100K. My point is, i still think there will be future negotiations on the property. I think the bank would prefer to have a stack of green, rather than the property.

http://m.citizensvoice.com/news/berks-county-bank-high-bidder-for-sno-mountain-1.1451897 There was a bid just below what the bank bid. So, there could be some neegotiations there. Maybe the bank has already negotiated a deal of its own, most likely someone is going to need some credit, and who better to lend it out. I think interest from a loan of that size is a pretty big chunk of change. I dont think this is the end of sno mountain. At least i hope not.

Solitude is fun. not many pics today, but these were in headwall forest.

Sounds like a good deal, but lots of $'s in gas.

Its a tunnel that goes through the mountain. If you dont buy a lift ticket with the tram scam included, thats the way you get to mineral basin.

Actually, the slopes will be empty this friday.....but you the parking is another isuue, as well as leaving. last time i was there for the cardboard classic cars were pretty much parked on the side of the road almost out to 940. its a zoo.

Picture time: visibility from the Tram at 9:00 Gad Valley - the weekend snow really made today just that much better. White room This is definetly not how we do things in PA

No visibility up top. Yet......trees r sweet and storm seems to be overproducing for us. Some nice pics on the camera so yer gonna have to wait. Loading up on lots of healthy snowbird food. Getting ready for round 2. No reason to stop at 1 oclock.

We made it. Pretty francy ride too, i was thinking it would be more like a 4 wheel drive festiva.
