Trails End, Cuz's Cabin, and some other trail i have no idea where it is opening for tomorrow. Maybe Strawberry Shortcut?

looking at the main street cam, there is no snowmaking on upper main. with last nights wind, snowmaking would have probably benefited Mt Mik, but maybe not so much their own slopes. Valley cam wont load, im gonna need you to go ahead and fix that for us.

im sure it could be colder, but damn, with the wind.......no thanks.

Kero has a way lower gel temp than diesel. years ago when diesel didnt have anti gel additives, truck drivers used to put kero in with diesel to help this. Add enough, and you could get flames to shoot out the pipes.

they need to get the other trail open to the 6 from shuttle or whatever. homestrtch looks like that Visa commercial from a few years back. there is a big bottle neck also where shuttle dumps people onto homestretch. pretty narrow there. I would think the other trail to the 6 would be available this weekend.

Like who? Blue Mt staff? i used mine to get a tune, just showed them the email on my phone.

Skied with PASRS. First two runs were money. Decent conditions after. Midway was a minefield. trunk beers and meat. good day.

lol. liftline isnt bad, but whats with all the people just standing around?

Dumping on Greek Peak right now. Dumping.

good thing nobody is over anylizing the multi mountain pass that may or may not be a scam.

My work commitments are over for the year on Thursday at 2 pm. So it will be 33 and rain.

Pocono Mountain Visitors bureau says 6. They own the Poconos, so.......

Poconos has 2", so they shut the Poconos down. Seriously. the one Pizza place i go to occasionally called off today due to the weather. HTFU.

Nice call out. Oh, now that this is actually happening, they wont.

Just happening on Blue Mountain Drive. they should be announcing interlodged soon. Beltzville Highway Patrol is on scene.

have no fear

still making some type of snow like product at noon, so thats a big plus.

I would bet that we will have another 1 1/2 ways down the mountain this weekend. Decent amount of snowmaking temps over the next few days, and then of course it gets warm when the precipitation moves in. Very excited for this weekend.

Went skiing with some others. hung out in the lot. good morning. thanks for reading.

and a skiff of straight up water in some spots.

it appears as though its on. They were blowing on lower main only. Lazy, and i think midway as well. Really hoping we get some new terrain for next weekend. When Midway isnt being used by everybody to get down, it sure can be a ton of fun.

i read that on FB this morning too. The paranormal activity in the Poconos is off the charts. I think we need to wait at least a week for some sustained cold, but there are a few snowmaking oppurtunities before then, but i doubt it will be enough to get any new terrain open. It would be sweet if they had something like the bottom of lazy covered that we could do a little up hill on. It would certainly be a welcome break from skiing the same three trails.

Comparing Blues lift, with access to both the base and summit VIA a parking lot, and an access road is kinda different than thunder at JH, and i assume Abasins lift isnt quite as accessable as Blues, is a little skewed, no?

Yesterday was lots of fun sking the same 3 trails with the usual suspects, and some of the usual crew that made yesterday thier first day. Excellent selection of trunk beers. Parking lot buffet was off the charts. i think i ate half of the pork belly. The stretch of paradise after coming soon was so interesting by 9:15. Reminescent of lower main on early season days. I think this weekend will be a little rinse and repeat, but thats cool with me.

If Blue really went all out compared to other ski areas, we would be riding the Summit Safari Super Six Pack Supreme by now. JFBB installed multiple lifts over the summer, fuck, even Toe could manage to get thiers done in time. They do put on a show with thier snowmaking though. I think we all can agree they have some other areas of the business that could be fine tuned.
