Absolutely, I'm throwing on p14's so they got some play, I'm on 28.5 with a 326 bsl if I can remember right. I was on the S7 and didn't like it either too soft. I rode the Super 7 at the end of last year at a demo day and the rep told me to ignore the tips and just ride. The tips flop around like a mofo but they rail and they were good in heavy pow so they should fit that in between spot pretty good. I love the LP for hardpack but its too narrow for sloppy pow and the ARG is killer in anything deep but is almost useless on the groomed.

Group buy ? I'm in for a $1000

195 Super 7 has been added to the quiver, I think it will be my daily driver.

WV is set up real nice for snow, the area in play is relatively high by EC standards so the temps are on avg 7-10 degrees cooler than the surrounding areas. Additionally they are in a great setup for Alberta Clippers and coastal storms. Combine that with upslope and some moisture from Lake Erie and you can see why they hit the 200 mark a good amount of the time.

Huntah...where's the dude who rides there...seriously the worst place on earth 07 started real warm and that was one of the best in a long time, October skiing is ok but we all have to remember to be patient. Dumb asses dropping 10 on 3" because they are so stoked just to be out, then they get three months off to fix the fib/tib.

Remember its Rivah not river and you'll be well on your way to becoming an official Maineiac

Whitegrass would be the place in WV

Dig that carpet...I got a 100 for that ancient chair alone

Dude that used to own that place is a first rate cock, dbag didn't just fuck shitty Marsh also almost put the mighty Magic out to pasture.

x2 they got plenty of land I was told they own from the Palmerton Zinc Superfund site to Kuntz lane where the state game lands cut down to the other side of the ridge. If that is true you could fit 4 more blue mtn's in that land, shit I don't need 4 more blue mts just a couple of nice trails with good pitch, fuck keep a few narrow so the noobs keep running lazy mile. I would even prefer no lift, just a little cat track out and little flat back in to the lift as that really keeps traffic low.

Blasphemy !!!!! I think Steven Drake pays full price for his gear lol, if you have found a magic hook up guard it with your life and then order the crazy shit like the spoon.

If it snows during the week, spend the snow day in LCC or BCC, then the next day go to Pow Mo. The place is advanced meadow skipping mostly but it holds snow.

SKI Magazine !!! Fuck son stop the presses I actually get that shitty piece of papyrus because along with Cat Fancy (which actually is a better mag than Ski) my sister gets them for free and thinks its funny to sign me up for random magazines. 90% of that magazine is advertisements parading around as an actual article. Its 4000 ways to find the best hotel or which valet service can find you the best coke. All you need to know about Ski Magazine is they think Deer Valley is the best place to ski in the NA. Deer fucking we serve our delicious hamburgers on monogrammed china while some South American takes your boots off Valley. Shit DV isn't even the best hill in a 20mile radius let alone all of NA.

Elks' snow can't be vastly superior to blue by definition, PA snow is hardpack shit, if you want to endlessly separate shit by just how shitty it is be my guest but it isn't like Blue is hardpack and they are riding 20" of 3% at elk. Elk is pretty much 10 trails straight down the fall line with no real effort required. Lackawanna, Seneca, TunkhannockMonongahela whatever the fuck its called are all the same. Stand at top, point skis down hill, don't fall over, rinse and repeat. As for the knob I see alot of I've never been there but I'll draw conclusions anyways because I'm clairvoyant. Whatever floats your boat Ms. Cleo Come on this has been a quiet summer, I even tried to get an apple vs android e-thug throw down going and that didn't take off. If shitting on various people's home hill is wrong I don't want to be right. LULZ

lulz Elk doesn't develop because they have no $$$ which is mostly because they are in the middle of nowhere. Not every place has to be whistler regardless it is a way overrated hill. Its kinda flat and the trail design and layout is pretty standard shit. Nobody even remembered elk existed and then bam ski magazine starts adding them to the asinine EC list and now its hot shit. Blue Knob is by far is the best hill in PA, but even Little Gap Blue is a better hill than elk.

Accuweather Preliminary Winter Forecast
Johnny Law replied to Ride Delaware ?'s topic in General Chat
I know the record for PA was 186 in 1978 somewhere out by the Altoona. There is some debate because Blue Knob apparently got 220" but it was in 1890 so for some reason they don't count it. The PA weather book is old so it doesn't have the last couple years but it says 95/96 was the most for Scranton with 99" and Allentown with 72". It has snowed in every month in PA mostly in the Allegheny plateau and northern mountains where it can hit 20 in July and August occasionally. The earliest snowfall was in late August somewhere near wilksbarre with some big snows in late September early October. The general problem with PA is when the pattern is cold there is no moisture and when the pattern is wet the temps suck. Additionally when we do get snow it tends not to stick around very long. Storm chasing is the most fun because its all random and crazy but you know 9 times out of 10 the riding next day will make up for it. Also I like the super sketchy driving....you know its bad when you stop seeing truckers on the major highways. -
Sick Bird ! Harden the fuck up there is nothing going on here, its the same ten people talking about nothing. The last posts were about who has twitter and a blues festival. Clearly all this mind blowing, life changing information isn't getting shared because of a few random posts. SICK BIRD

Thanks dude for all the hard work, the email about unsubscribing last year was pretty funny.

Wow I am shocked at WFR only for pro patrollers, to be 100% clear the dude's got a broken leg lets fix it stuff is actually probably better in WFR but EMT-B teaches you more about how the body works and more about equipment. Most patrolling is more ambulance based than say true guide types. Vail resorts and Copper are definitely 100 EMT-B. I wonder how far you can get on WFR only, most patrol houses are tiered. Volly's at rung 1, paid newbs and part timers at rung 2 and professional's at rung 3. The 3 level is where you want to be if you want to throw bombs and do cool shit all the rest are on bamboo and ropes. Regardless you are doing something great for the snowsports community, seriously its the lord's work.

I'm not busting your balls at all, I'm just telling you what I know. I have no less than a dozen friends who are or were patroller's. No offense to you, my cousin is WFR certified and its great but isn't the same as EMT-B and those are some serious hills. Wait are you trying to be a volunteer ? If so my fuckup I thought you were trying to get paid, in that case I'm a retard.
