JStyle actually made a remark about they don't even try early season on Sidewinder. I agree that it's lame. It requires so much snow, but even if they don't turn them on full throttle, let them blow a little snow without using much air/water. Or just turn a few key guns on where a lot of snow is required. They're blowing on the rest of the mountain pretty much except Sidewinder and Switchback.

Glorious day at the True Mountain. Woke up to a snowy Bethlehem and got underway around 7:55am. Things were very slow going until just north of the airport/Root 22, and then the roads were dry and could cruise at 70mph no problem. Arrived at Blue a little after 8:30am in the lower lot and only 10 cars or so where there. It was nice being able to walk right onto the snow from where I park, rather then looping around the fence. Snow conditions were PERFECT. Snow was smooth and grippy. I was able to really test out the new boots and ski combo, and they certainty performed. I went 100% a few runs down Main Street, and the skis/boots exceeded expectations. At these temps, the boots are pretty much rock solid, but I love them. Toast was right behind me on the drive up, so I skied with him the entire time. I was about to head out at 10:30am, but I saw Johnny Style's car parked next to mine so I decided to wait for him to get a few laps in. The three of us did a few laps down Main Street and Lazy Mile enjoying the awesome snow conditions. I pulled out of the lot at 11:43am after a picture perfect morning at Blue the True. The new ticket scanners were working well, but we'll see how they do under a 11,000 person day load. That will be the true test. Can't wait to get out there early tomorrow. JADIP. They were blowing on Challenge, Razors, Dreamweaver, and Paradise. Challenge and Paradise have plenty of snow to open tomorrow.

you and i are the only ones who have these i only ever had 5 made. one on my helmet, one on your old one, and one on my ski rack. Die cut stickers are relatively expensive to have made, and I had them made in such limited production.

When I used to race Nastar at BC on club nights, I made a PASR club card. Simple enough.

wow that's a surprise.

Are you stuck in DEN? Is there no availablity on later flights? Still plenty of time to get home. If you're suck in RNO, you definitely could have had them rebook you to SFO, and then SFO to EWR. I'd still try to do that. UA6835 at 5:26pm RNO to SFO. Take the 9:50pm or 10:30pm redeyes back to EWR.

I'll meet you for first cup at Starbucks...

nice...glad to hear the conditions were legit. I'm going to ski tomorrow and Thursday AM.

They never whistle at out of control people, since they're beginners. It's those of us that actually know what we're doing that they're worried about

welcome back rodeo steve

My friend has a size 17 ski boot....they're practically snowlerblades

Just snagged a northface softshell for $55...not bad

Too late I guess. I've enjoyed skiing Sno the times I have, especially for the speed/thrill of White Lightening, but I'm always afraid of seeing a certain ex-PASR member there.

I was referring to the having the 1/2 hour at Blue...which now opens at 8am, instead of 7:30am of previous years (well, its been a few years of 8am now).

So if I was to fly into Reno for a quick trip (2 or 3 days)...where should I ski? Where should I stay? I know PhillyCore has always suggested Squaw to me. Tahoe area is an area I really know nothing about.

I tinfoil my boys whenever I go through a TSA checkpoint.

I don't know the manufacturer of the actual tag, but the scanners/turnstyles/system is provided by SKIDATA.

LOL and so it begins. Don't they have anything better to do in the rain then catch "speeders" on Burma. They really need to get radar guns.

Only JO can get first cup at Starbucks and first chair at Blue....JADIP.

doh...hopefully its better tomorrow morning you see dan- up there?

did they do a lot of tree removal? Looks wide open enough to fit a groomer in there

Nope...have never researched the Lake Tahoe, just saw on FareCompare that I can do an awesome mileage run to Reno for cheap ($258 r/t out of ABE), and figured I'd ski while I was out there

maybe it's time for JF to get a winch cat!

nice report....conditions look good, but holy crap Elk is expensive.
