light snow in lake harmony as well.

its a good sign to see snow in the forecast for October....at least in my book it is.

sweeeet!!! kudos the to crew at JF.

you are 100% correct. it just took me a little while to figure that out.

there were a few other factors working against her skiing that day: 1 - i cant teach. dont know what i was thinking. 2 - it was cold and windy out. 3 - she had to wear a hat, and that was "destroying" her hair. if she didnt have to wear a hat, i think she may have been ok.

yep, tried that...didnt go so well. her words to me were, "YOU need to find a way for me to get the fuck off of this mountain. she was the ultimate handbrake.

i like P A Ridge Racers november 19th date, from an earier thread. which would mean 4-5 trails for black friday. But really, its all up to mother nature.

i am also prepping for a nice trip to whiteface, with a lay-over at gore, possibly. seems like out west might be a bit out of reach for me, for a few different reasons. lately i cant get this place off my mind for some reason.....

you are the one that has called him "different" ....now twice. stop it. i hope at some point in my life i am able to spend as many days on the mountain as he does.

now, now, dont get your britches in a bunch. i dont think anyone here has a problem with robert2, he seems like quite a fun guy. i personally would like to split a few six packs with him at the E2000. i will actually miss his reports if he is not skiing at JF.

not both? i will seriously miss his daily snow reports. the jacket is saweet....like cocaine snow.

i would skip the season pass for right now, see how many times you actually go,, and make the season pass decision later on. dont forget JFBB should again offer a season pass sometime in Feb that will cover the balance of the current year, and the following year...if i remember correctly its quite a good deal. so...can we get back on topic here or what? wait.....what was the topic....skiing or school?

cheap place to park your RV overnite i guess, plus you can get a new outfit for like $2.99.

wal-mart allows people to "camp" in thier parking lots. might be a small grey area between camping and sleeping in a car though.

"from JFBB.com... 08.26.09 | By chris "Jack Frost Mountain staff under the direction of Mark Daubert have been busy clearing out more glades, adding tower guns, replacing snowmaking pipe, and "elevator" work. Here are some teasers of what has been going on this summer. Riders this coming winter will be treated to glade expansions on Challenge and Jane's Lane. The glade on skier's right of Challenge has been extended to the East Mountain Lift. Jane's Lane has new glades also on skier's right that go to D Lift. The crews have been busy installing 18 30' tower guns on various slopes including Thunderbolt and Exhibition!" This is all good news. The challenge glade sounds like it will be sweet although it already skied down to the lift, just had some rocks and logs to look out for. Jane's glade sounds like it'll be fun too and can't wait for the Elevator." good stuff right there. and another - "Some folks can be happy skiing around alone all day at a hill in PA. I would go nuts. I need some type of 'crew' to ride with, goof off with, ride lifts with, etc..." pretty much sums it up right there....not really where you ski, but who you are skiing with. everyone has thier "home" mountain which they ski at for some good reason or another. the JF crew might be a small group, buts its a good group. good times for the short time i have known them.

i like what i am hearing. 18 tower guns? thats huge right there. man, if my hellicopter wasnt in the shop for the driveshaft return springs recall, i would do a fly-by.

yup...all downhill from there. lots and lots of snow a trip up north JFBB crew the new stuff at JF actually getting some exercise

sounds good.....so far....i was really hoping to hear that the elevator was coming along nicely though.

most likely scenerio (scroll down) ski.pdf

hello? (sound of crickets chirping)

curious to hear from the good folks over at JF about how the elevator is coming along. what else do we have to look forward to this year?

measurable snow in the poconos by thanksgiving. courtesy of Roots calculations, 142 days until black friday. still seems like forever. lets hope somethings white by thanksgiving.
