People need to stop going to the other 3 in the area if they dont want more built. The one out on 940 by me always has a full parking lot. And why people around here need to go to Walmart when its snowing is beyond me.

Yup, this is why we do dumb things like drive when people say to stay of the roads. Razors was magical first run, and its been a while that we have the powder luxury. Sucks for the lift shenanigans in the morning, I knew since Main Street chair was open for a while before the quad, the trail over there that typically doesnt see much traffic was gonna be found out, so Mbike, Glenn and myself stuck to Razors, Challenge, Coming soon, Side, and then 2 runs through the trees at Lazy. 2nd time at the trees we dropped in further up on Tuts, and surfed some turns down to the glade. Good coverage, but there is some weird terrain in there cause i guess we were actually on a bike path. Blue had posted on FB ways back coming soon would open with natural snow. i mean, i guess technically they are the ones that get to decide when its open, but they really already had put the wheels in motion back in December when the basically said it could be skied with natural snow. its a moot point now, but i doubt anybody would lose a pass over it. maybe get a firm talking to, but no loss of pass.

534 in the AM going down the hill suuuuucked. As soon as i got on it i knew it was gonna be sucksville. a plow had just gone past, so it was like an inch of packed snow that was slicker than snot on a door knob. Then i caught up to the plow, and he was going almost too slow, so slow i slid sideways a few times. I was able to breathe once i got to Jonas, and from there, i mean, its a pretty easy drive. I came home through Palmerton and took the turnpike which everything was snow covered but really in good shape. i didnt want to mess with 534, seems like the hill attracts morons for miles. Blue should close now.

leaving in a few as well.

yeah, winds are a little higher than expected for this hour. i thought they were gonna get going a little later this morning.

No friends on a powder day.

i had my heart set on a meatball parm from my fav pizza place. They cloesd at 4. i hate how the poconos closes up cause its snowing.

Covid 19 vaccine?

I was wondering the same thing.

Thaaaats more like it. Going up 534 on my way home, there was a pick up coming down the hill that started getting sideways as he passed me. Roads were just barely covered but pretty slick. Saw this on FB from a weather guy i follow that comes out of the woodwork for snow storms.... This is pretty impressive. HREF ensemble max. 6-10" area wide through 7am tomorrow then 12-27" from 7am Monday through 7am Tuesday north of the turnpike So, hopefully the bulk of todays snow happens after close. we shall see. light snow in Albrightsville, roads are covered.

Cute maps, fellas. Buckle up, wont be surprised if we are in fact on the high end of those numbers, or even higher.

Coming soon to a roadway near you, in Palmerton, since they arent smart enough to stay off the road for us skiers. and of course the abominable snowman since, you know, 2020 just wont let go.

I thought today was really good, but i didnt go down paradise, but you are correct, things can be really inconsistent, even on the same trail. But not all the snow they make is shitty. Granted, its probably not up to Vail standards, but i sure did enjoy skiing from the valley the second week they were open. There is alot of give and take at Blue.

Our old friend Frankie Macdonald.......Massachusetts, but you get the point.

Interesting. did you find todays conditions awful?

Razors was delish. Other stuff good, but not razors good. Sorry for those that stayed left. Hopefully tomorrow is just as good.

yup. looking good.

They got Vailed.

With all of that forecasted, it does look like you will have trouble getting from the upstairs, to the downstairs, so i would cancel work on account of public safety.

i am also being lead to believe the more North you are, the less snow you will get. I dont think NY is looking at a huge storm. At least right now.

When they had the bigger closures for the 3 lane project, i kept the speed at 63 going through them. Right now, they just have like 2 miles of a construction zone for that bridge work, and i havent ever seen any type of speed control there whether it be cops or camera cars on Friday afternoon, and sunday mid day.

Time to start posting what the models are spitting out for Monday yet?

Sunday/monday/tuesday thing is starting to make me tingle a little.

Boulders lot has that huge trench/hump thing that makes it rough on the sad boys. blues lot is fine. Pretty much everybody here has to drive max about 40 feet on a gravel surface to park. I will never understand peoples obsession with ski resorts parking lot. If you want some paving, go shopping at the mall.
