I find skitoolivesluvtoski trip reports and pics more interesting than whats going on at Elk at this point. both boring and kinda like “well, did it really happen?”

No pics. No lines. you didnt expect anything different, did you?

As much as i cannot stand driving 6 hrs for limited early season terrain with 6000 of my closest friends, it might be something to keep in mind for Thanksgiving weekend.

you can still get a participation trophy. how cold was it?

In my opinion, yes. fireplaces make heat. fairly inefficiently, but they make heat. No Heat November.

Space heaters are heat. turn one of those on, and its game over for NHN as far as i am concerned.

Honestly, for the sake of skiing, i hope you lose. And i wont think any less of you if you just turn your heat on now. you fought the good fight.

Some good news. This appears to be the Democrats last hurrah as far as controlling the weather. Hopefully this confirms. "colder than normal" and "winter preview" for like the week of Tday. It would be spectacular if this came in a few days earlier. https://arcfieldweather.com/videos i really dont like long range forecasts, but at this point i need to believe in this.

Need me to bring something specific? Maybe some Chili that cant be re-heated?

i dont disagree. i am fairly certain i have paid when i picked them up also. i mean, if i drop them off, and dont pay, you can hold my skis as hostage. But i guess they dont have a good system for when people have paid, so now maybe they just do upfront payment.

Tactical Tim was on location today. I tried to drop my skis off for a tune today. but i couldnt, because their system was down, and they couldnt take payment, and they need to take payment before they can send the skis to the back. as much as i like the place, its like they go out of their way to not make money. so, pretty much a typical day at Blue Mountain.

i know my house is poorly insulated, but last time i was up it was in the 50's, and i guess like monday when it was cold and i looked it was 49. How is it warm enough that you guys havent had the heat on?

I turned the ac on in the office yesterday when it got to 77 degrees, and i became quite uncomfortable. heat has been in at both homes at some point. I didnt even make november.

I know. wtf. I cant believe this weather for November.

Fake news. The fire is going to dessimate miles of beautiful land in its path, and the democrats have given all of the water to Canada. All of the beautiful real estate around the area will be worthless. The fire was started near a polling location to distract the people of Palmerton, in hopes they would all stay inside and not go out to vote.

i sure hope so.

i must have signed mine when i re-upped my pass, looking at my account it says i have no unsigned waivers, and i have a 2024/2025 waiver signed already. still doesnt guarantee my pass works though.

Dude just absolutely rocks the 90's Joan Jett hairdo.

this would be way more fun to watch if it was the falls.

nice. Vermont says "hold my beer"

if anyone feels the need to wait in a different kind of line at Blue, the tent sale is this weekend.

Pre- OSHA i would assume getting run the fuck over with one of these would leave a mark.

Ask if they are doing pre season tunes with special pricing.

Are we talking about Lieutenant Dan with one leg? I thought I read he stayed on the boat and it was fine. I don’t believe any news these days unless I see it with my own eyes

i turned the heat on in the Poconos when i was there over the weekend. it was 61 in the house when i got there.
