The guy in gray is PASR's own JBS. He loves when Razor's is open and can use the whole width Blue was definitely legit today.

I pulled into the Blue Mountain lower lodge for the first time on a weekend this year. I was really early, so I booted up in the lodge, and was all ready to go before Doug even pulled in. We were the first ones on the lift, but somehow, because they didn't get "clearance" from the top, we had to wait one chair which allowed this goober to get on with us. He was definately trying to impress us with his skiing knowledge. The guy was so happy to get first chair, but he was quickly informed by Doug that he wouldn't be getting first chair on the second run Challenge was awesome early morning! The first run down was sooo smooth. The first 5 runs on Challenge were epic. By that time, it was snowing pretty freaking hard, and accumulating slowly, but surely. We were rolling with Skier112 and we saw MBike Mike, but he wanted to take it slow because he was hung over, so we ditched him ASAP By then, Challenge was starting to get a little chunky on the top from all the racers out (Blue Mtn and Ridge ski team in the house), but the middle was still nice and smooth. Some race coach didn't like Doug and I skiing fast near his racers on Challenge, but whatever, it's not Razors Edge where they can close it off. You gotta ski with the masses, buddy. While we were in line for the 6pack, this girl went out to far, and got clipped by the lift. She backed up, and got clipped again. She backed up, and got clipped again. By this time, she had let 4 chairs go by and Doug and I kept yelling "GO! GO! GO!". She still didn't go, and her boyfriend turned around and told us to shut the f*ck up. Whoops. We then headed over to Main Street, because I saw from the parking lot that they had blown last night, and figured they blew in the bumps, and they had. Bumps were awesome for Dec 13th. Nice 4" of fresh blown snow on them, and you could ski a nice line through them, with the most legit bumps at the bottom. We eventually saw TMahky and his boys, so we skied two bump runs with them. We had a nice little bump session going, that's fo sure. All in all 6 bump runs, 1 lazy mile, and the rest on Challenge. Good for 20 runs and 21,000 vertical feet. We went directly to the BMDI for a good breakfast after skiing the bumps. Awesome session. I'm really tempted to ski tomorrow morning. We'll see how much studying I get done today.

i rock that bright blue jacket in my avatar and twin tips....not the jeff you remember seeing

you've got vacation days....lol Word on Blue Mountain Drive is that Trevor Mahky will be there for dawn patrol.

i might be inclined to partake

Any plans for BMDI tomorrow?

It's the Blue Mountain Brew Cabin or something stupid like that. I got on the snow around 12:30. Toast had txtd me that conditions were pretty sweet. First lift ride on that 6pack in almost a year. The thing is freaking huge. Last year, the first day Challenge opened was the day I broke my leg, so I was determined not to repeat my fate. Needless to say, I did 12 quick laps down Challenge. The grooming was better then expected, but it was a bit like a rollercoaster with all the rollers haha. There was too much wind, however. Definately was slowing me down a lot. It was just nice having the 6pack...first hour I had 7 runs in....1:54 minutes into my session I already had 14 in. I left after 20 runs and saw GSS in the parking lot. I took some pics as well, and will post them when I get back to my apartment. Tomorrow looks to be cold and rock hard. Time to sharpen the edges

I'll be there the prior weekend (18-22) so I'll let you know how it is. have fun!

awesome!

Dude, with the rate its raining here, it should be dumping there. It looks clear there. You know what else is clear? Rain.

Low cloud ceiling...

I'm sorry, I'm calling bullshit. I know you like to hype things up, but it's looking like rain. Accuweather isn't as accurate as TWC in my observation of previous storms. LOL did you look in your own link? It shows .1" in the next 24 hours.

One that shows no snow accumulation.. http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USPA1...chbox_typeahead Same forecast for Bethlehem, Palmerton, and Danielsville. Even BB is only supposed to get a wintry mix.

dunno if i should go in the morning tomorrow or not....looks like its gunna be above freezing at blue...aka no snow.

lol

Even if I drop over and die tomorrow....I'll still beat you this year

I'm with your husband. I love to ski, but I wouldn't ski till I was able to ski like I did prior to my injury. Otherwise, it's just too frustrating.

I personally don't. We've seen hot periods, and we've seen ice ages. It's all cyclical.

iPhone doesn't have a video camera

I really do want to see a battle rap between you and GSS.

uh oh...chippy called it! warm weather for the next 10 years...ugh!
