  1. Fuck dudes way to kill it !!!!! Your slutting it up deeeeeeeeep in the white room
  2. I'll be there Saturday and maybe Sunday, life threw a real spanner in the works this week.
  3. Sickbird !!!!
  4. Fkna ! Killing it and AS on the 98's on 2" in Amphitheater is straight slay. Hobacks looking full
  5. My God their trees !! The same guy did Massif du Sud as v2 which I want to get to but is boarding on just go out west. Your killing it dude !
  6. Dude you even got it while it's good ! Burke is a really really good time, one my all time favorites in the little bit out there category. Saddleback should be the tits too !
  7. Up to about 2 inches here and still coming down strong
  8. I have ridden that the year they first reopened. Some kid hit a rock and was seriously injured and then I've never seen it open again.
  9. It just started coming down in the Ding about 20 minutes ago. Solid rate of fall but big wet flakes so we must be pretty close to the line. It would be a great day to be out on the hill just for it to feel like winter.
  10. I just had a Nam like flashback to 1990 lol I remember the trail was almost never open at least I think
  11. Fuck yes get those titty sparkles !!!
  12. Loooooove Burke but it's been a hot minute, look forward to pics and nice to see your getting snow.
  13. I saw on Blue's IG yesterday that the ridge had gotten frosted so I figured I'd mosey my way up this morning and catch the show before it melts. True to there post the upper 1/4 of the hill the trees have a solid coating and with surprisingly blue skies the twinkle was majestic. A steady wind had them moving like the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies with the half babbling brook half wind chime sound. With a couple of inches the hill looks fantastic. The skiing is considerably less majestic, most everything got a solid crust and while mostly edgeable turns of merit don't have the grip for full speed. They must have blown on Coming Soon as the upper ditch is in and held super nice soft turns. YMMV as its 4 or 5 inches of soft over grass/etc. Upper main is best described as a scree field of cookies, chicken heads and super frozen bone shaking cord. The whole hill is guess your luck on picking the right groomer track but the variability on upper is laughable. Best run was Widow, midway, lower main as midway has a bit of a riser directly under the lift so you can really slut it up and get some air. I saw C1er and ZZslope but crowds were low. Rumors abound for any number of delusions of granduer as someone said they purchased the old ladies farm you can see off coming soon but maybe we already knew that....I can't keep up with everything they are supposedly doing.
  14. I am always thinking at some point the bottom has to drop out. I'm not talking just about skiing but the general idea that there are no limits to making the absolute most money possible but at least so far we all just keep dancing faster and faster.
  15. Radon is kinda a big deal here and it's interesting because it's not at all 20 mins in the right direction. Same with coal or 1000 other things. Plus the big one is when you look at a topo map of PA for the first time and are like what the fuck happened ? It's also interesting but mostly useless so par for the course. Until I go off on some tangent like this and everyone is there for accounting 101 Isn't that everyone? Is this like the people that don't see pictures in their heads ? That has to be very strange.
  16. The interesting thing about the uranium and radon thing in PA is its a totally different rock than the rest of PA. Its named after my hood and is a crystalline structure most similar to New England called the Reading Prong. It's PreCambrian like 500 million years ago where the escarpment is Allegheny orogeny which is like 250 million years ago. What we call South Mtn is part of the Reading Prong which is totally different than Blue or the Poconos all within a relatively small space. PA got folded up like a NY door mat pizza as Africa and NA collided so in that sense we have alot of cool shit going on near the surface. All the coal areas get their bang from the Carboniferous period where for like 50 million years nothing could decompose trees so they just piled up. PA at least geologically is a cool state.
  17. Super cool pictures, the escarpment Blue sits on goes for 150 miles or so and becomes the Kittatiny Mtns in NJ and the Gunks in NY. It may seem pedestrian but it's actually pretty interesting geologically and we learned metric fuck tons in general from the whole coal dealio and where PA got folded.
  18. Your timing is impeccable, that's gotta be one of the better cycles all year so far in the NE. Love Pico, lotta racer types but A&B slope are awesome if it's super windy and the glades off the peak chair are dope.
  19. Today had lots of sugar but there is none to coat conditions. Shit is bad and that snow is mostly rotten ice pellets. Midway to lower main wasn't too bad but ROTD is whatever took you back to the lot. I always love skiing and will keep showing up no matter conditions but imagine your just a normal pleeb who pays for that and then just goes home. Absolute worst case the skiing sucks but I drink dank beers and laugh my ass off. I do hope winter makes a return post haste, I'm getting quite antsy in the pantsy but the pasr crew redeemed an otherwise shit fuck snow kinda weekend.
  20. Killy is always good but that ikon comes with Fast Track is huge
  21. Good Ole Tussey, I skied there a bunch with my cousin many moons ago when he went to State College. Only place less concerned with safety than blue knob, of the 3 trails one had more than one cinder block. I also love they have 4 ways down but like 20 trails allegedly. Tussey is Spring Mtn for state college or Doe mtn before Bear became Bear. Blue Knob is worth the drive Tussey only if you got a date to pick up meth in Boalsburg.
  22. I didn't know anyone was filming or I would have channeled by inner mattedge
  23. I know that guy lol Thanks man ! I have seen very little of myself skiing. The family photographers are usually elsewhere than where I'm skiing and the only other video I've seen are NM's from telluride and a 3 second clip on Peter Glenn's YouTube from 647854 years ago. I'll try to remember inside arm next time but it may be a lost cause lol
  24. I arrived at the lower lot at 850 under partly cloudy skies after being delayed by the funeral procession being led by 3 busses from Wilmington Friends. C1er was in the house but I was slightly behind and got the first chair on the new sixer Upper main was a carpet but super soft serve so it went fast, lower was a little lumpy but not bad as its at least 30% poop chute. Lazy and Pdis were fine but soft snow and they are slow. NM/DW was why I was there and while far from perfect it was nice to get the turn going. They bifurcated the run out after Jeff's left which is super nice as now you can exit full speed. Another groom should really improve the smoothness. By 1040 the barbarian hords from DE had crossed the Hadrian's wall of lazy mile and it was time to go. Super nice spring day and major props for rolling out NM/DW.
  25. Shit is open, groomer got into it and it's lumpy and a bit narrow. You can 75% attack but the groomer got into the dirt on the inside left and now it's more of a double apex where you push late to hit the orange stick instead of that super sweet off the ledge drop where you get that nice natural flow into the power right. Not bad but can use some more work
