No need to post that, Mr. TT How have JFBB harassed you? I've had similar experience with friends and JFBB. The week before Xmas I dragged my friend, who is a Blue fanboy to JFBB, and he had a great time with the nonexistent crowds, and great snow.

I have...and I agree with him! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy going to JFBB. I fully understand why you guys like going there. It's just 3x the drive for me, which is why I don't use my season pass there more often

That may be true, but Kia is more sucessful now then ever. Doesn't mean the Honda isn't better and more popular. JFBB is doing very well, but Blue and CB don't need to "compete" with JFBB. In general, if people are coming from NY on Route 80, Camelback is going to "pull" people off of the highway first, with their high speed lifts, longer and steeper runs, and greater vertical rather then continuing on to JFBB. Same thing applies with Blue and JFBB and Route 476 with people coming from Philly.
-
The fact is that Camelback and Blue blow every ski area in eastern PA out of the water in terms of skier visits, thus, $$$. JFBB combined does a fraction of the business that Blue or CB does in a year. I'd rather have JFBB crowds, but I'd rather have Blue's terrain

Sounds and looks about right...I think someone had said it measured 63'? -
LOL you must've been skiing the back bowls. But Razors was bullet proof until about 10am. And thanks for the skiing advice!

I was referring to the patroller giving up on the chase...but pictures are cool, too
-
hahaha PERFECT! I love it!

Melissa...a lot of the 3 bedroom suites have a master bedroom with only 1 bed...if PhillyCore's wife is OK with that...that might be a viable option. That way you can party with the PASR's, and then cook us dinner

Well after yesterdays .5" of rain, I woke up to a temperture in Bethlehem of 27 degrees. I thought the rain would've turned to fresh poe overnight and dumped up to 2' on Blue, but alas, but I arrived, it was shinier then a freakin dance floor. I got to Blue extra early because I was selling my 183cm GS:12s to Terry, a Blue regular. Doug arrived extra late due to a 4 minute later departure, and an extra 4 minute travel time due to slow drivers. First run down Razors was like a foot massage...my whole body was still vibrating at the bottom from the frozen groomer tracks. It was not very good this morning, with everything rock solid. We mixed it up between Razors, Dreamweaver, Paradise, Lazy Mile, Switchback, and one run on Main Street. We even got to ski a steezy speed run down Swtichback with Concussion Ted. Doug and I were rolling with Terry and his buddies today. The sun was starting to come out, and the frozen cord was starting to smooth out and conditions were improving. On our 17th run, we decided to take a run down Paradise. The 4 of us flew down, and it was GREAT. Best snow of the day...very carvable, smooth, and fast. At the bottom, we decided we had to do that again. We get to the top of Paradise on our 18th run, and a patroller jokes with us "Watch out...speed enforced by aircraft!". So we skied normally down the top section, made the sharp left, and then the gentle right, and then it happened. On the left side I saw a patroller eyeing up Doug, who was in front of me. He then turned his head and saw me. I saw him start skiing out of the corner of my eye, and I knew it was on. I skiied normally until the sharp left turn, and then as soon as I was out of his sight, I got into a bullet tuck, hopefully catching him off guard and putting some space between us. Doug and I weaved hardcore through the thick traffic at the bottom to evade this patroller. I was about 200 feet behind Doug, and I knew he knew we were being chased. We took lower paradise (still in a bullet tuck) to the quad, which had maybe a 1 chair wait. We flew into the corral, snuck past a snowboarder, and right onto the lift. It felt like 5 minutes, but it was really about 5 seconds for that chair to swing around, and we were off Just as we cleared the terminal, I looked back and saw about 5 patrollers coming from every direction, and once we cleared the trees, I could see some checking the 6pack line as well. We agreed that if confronted at the top, we would say "we just got here". Remember...the customer is always right. Much to our displeasure, there was no patrollers at the top, so we skiied a steezy speed run down Razors, kicked off our skis as fast as possible, and on our way out, a regular said to us "you guys were asking for it there, they were whistling like crazy". Well, they didn't get us, so it was off to the Blue Mtn drive inn where we both had omlets, and Doug bought me two boxes of girl scout cookies It was a legit day, despite rock solid conditions.

Don't smoke weed unless you're ready to face the consequences. That's a true american hero.

You're an idiot dude. Not only am I not an idiot when I drive, but I know when and when not to speed, but I also have some of the best defenses against police encounters (Valentine1 and Blinder M45 laser jammer). Also, I know the law pretty well, so there is no chance of a cop pulling a "fast one" on me. You only get hassled because you let cops walk all over your rights. They can't search your car because you're a snowboarder. I don't feel like dealing with your bullshit, so don't come.

Who farted?

Yes. Straight airs require no skill, just balls.
-
I only do straight airs off of rail lips.
-
romemadan, do you know the phone number of someone on park crue? I'd like to know lip to knuckle sizes.
-
My mom might too...but she can't when I'm in Vermont
-
I was looking at some larger accommodations for the rest of the PASRs...some decent deals to be had in the spring in some nice rooms where all the PASRs could par-tay...

Well then stop bitching about Doug picking on you. Do you want his shit to stay, or not? I'm not going to delete his, and then leave yours. Either his shit stays and yours does too, or I delete them both. Also, stop bragging that you take care of problems in person. Nobody cares, and nobody is scared by you.

My mistake on the thread cleanup...I stopped 1/2 way when I got a phone call and then had to goto class This is getting big...
