crowds should be low that weekend. Enjoy!

looks pretty similar tonight. Early AM crowds were low, but came in a little later, and now.... oh, and there is a comment on Blues FB page stating the power outages were of the rolling blackout types. im not totally sure i buy into that, i have trouble believing they would just pull the plug with people getting stranded on a lift. granted, diesel back ups and whatnot, but still thats a huge risk assuming Blues back up anything is going to work well.

So they lost power twice yesterday? Thats not real good.

did you happen to see them pushing snow around? on our last run, there was a groomer coming down towards main from the Main Street Express. kinda curious as to where they were going.

i was thinking you might be able to talk me into a night session this week. Then i looked at the Valley cam - That seems like a shit ton of people trying to ski what trails are open.

Pretty nice morning. the headwall (i guess) before the turn on lazy was the best snow. i forgot Chute was open. If i skied it, it would be like the 3rd time ever. i think Chute would be a nice trail if it had some trees in it. i keep forgetting.....Why do we give a fuck about how much lift tickets are?

Of course.

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.
