    Gold Jerry !
  2. Yes and no, it's a super persistent area of high pressure. Has it happened before sure, on this scale and for this period of time, probably but not while humans have been keeping records. Alot of that article is conjecture, you can't forecast the AO more than about 2 weeks in advance, how the fuck he think it will do X in January is beyond me.
  3. Gone......looks no as late as Dec 10thish.....could certainly change though it looks like 60's until at least thanksgiving ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wait sometimes, it depends on what is going on. Weeknights are pretty relaxed, Sat/Sun morning first thing nobody is waiting......
  4. Late march in N VT can be really really good just bring the battleships, shit can get real heavy.....
  5. Yeah there ain't shit on the radar.......all you can do is be patient.....09 and 77 started just like this and both were all time winters........you can't beat the sun and simple physics it will get cold eventually but the peeps banking on nov skiing better get a net jet cards it's just not the norm for PA
  6. I totally forgot but I won a trip to the bush and I'll go to VT around Christmas probably...
  7. Around the 20th colder air should show up not cold enough for blue but further north should be in business.......blue looks more like mid December at earliest....but that shit is futurecasting.....
  8. Lindsey Dyer....she was kinda hot....
  9. First legit cold air is on the map.....maybe two weeks out....
  10. It will come around eventually, you can only fight the sun for so long.
  11. Snowed up north on an off all day yesterday......gonna be 70's this week.......patience...
  12. Gonna be like 29 in northern pa Saturday night
  13. hahahah That would make sense give me like two beers and I'll spill the beans. My cousin ran that place for awhile and there lifts are super sketch balls. The haul lines have a redic amount of splices. There was a year he showed up after summer and an entire string of chairs was on the ground. The buckmans are an interesting family to say the least but that is the only place I would be worried about the lifts. That thing is just cool it's all cobbled together from like nine different lift companies and a couple of pieces of farm equipment.....would like to get back there this year....
  14. Blowing snow into a heavily treed area often kills the trees. Blue's beer is pretty good, decent selection and prices are pretty cheap for a ski area. One day Blue is gonna get sold to a Powder or Boyne and we are all gonna realize how good we had it. Name how many places you can drink beer in their parking lot and generally act a fool and they are 100% cool with it. Seriously go down to your local tennis courts and do the weekend blue thing and watch how fast the cops roll up.
  15. Dead 100% serious their lifts are super super fucking dangerous........I'm not outing this shit in public but ask me in person...... Dude I got you a welcome back cake and everything what am I gonna do now.......
  16. hahahahaha I forgot she was jewish.....wow now that sounds really bad.....
  17. They are so fucking cool, loud and slow, they built a gun and then figured out how to put a plane around it......even a peace loving liberal goes half way to midnight when you hear the braaaaaap
  18. ugh her face makes me want to punch puppies in their stupid puppy faces........she has real talent for sure but something about her makes me want to embrace genocide......
  19. Fort IndianTown Gap ? Their air corridor is right above you and it used to be one of the primary combat training grounds.
  20. I wasn't saying that to be a dick I'm saying its gossip so grain of salt
  21. No that's not what's going on. Word is Barb has a brother or some other kind of relation that is part owner and is also dying/dead. Barb is old and wants out, any business before a potential sale gussies up the books. You want the most money possible thus you want to look as profitable as possible and large capital expenditures don't jive with that. Before anyone goes crazy none of this has been confirmed by any kind of media and I wouldn't go nuts about who is buying blue, this is more of a long term game. Short term last year I understand they had a bit of a liquidity crisis, hence in part the layaway program they had on passes this year. Season pass peeps are the neccesary assholes as far as the resort is concerned we are an interest free loan in the summer that generally ends up costing them money in the winter but at that time cash flow is highest. Last year was pretty good for us, consistently cold and some decent snow but it sucked from there perspective because the three biggest weekends were rain outs. Ski resorts are pretty much a terrible business, it's seasonal by nature which makes everything way more expensive because it's tough to plan and you dependent on weather which is always a ten foot dick waiting to fuck you in the ass. Vail Resorts are the king shits of the liquidity issue, they got a war chest, they find resorts that have cash flow issues snap them up and use there war chest to make capital improvements while offering a cheap season pass. They are liquidity predators and pretty fucking good at it. PS no fucking way VR buys blue, its way out of their zone, it's not the kind of place that makes more money because you blew 100mil worth of capital improvements into the hill. Blue knows this everyone knows this so they have shelled out a bunch of money over the last couple years to try to even out the cash flow, both lodges got major overhauls (tents kinda suck but they certainly aren't free and give them flexibility in the long term), they added a restaurant and started the process on the water park. Then when the ownership issues presented themselves along with the tightness in cash flow they wisely put the whole thing on hold. LV cats correct me if I'm wrong but Barb for a long time has been trying to get a casino at blue under the Palmerton is a shit hole argument, I at least seem to remember her in the papers alot arguing for one. Tents at the base are a result of the following, for awhile she was hoping for a casino permit and put the lodge shit on hold figuring if they got on that completely changes the build out. As this now seems like a real long shot they made the long necessary lodge improvements in an attempt to improve cash flow but didn't want to commit to permanent structures in case the casino thing ever happened in the meantime she got older and her partner either died or is on the way out and figured fuck it I'm too old for this shit and is planning to sell and walk. Everyone should be aware none of this shit comes from legit news sources just people that work at blue and shit you hear in state tax circles.
  22. ^FKNA that's a good video love the vibe and the history
  23. Us too, got 10second glances with binocs through the clouds nothing more
  24. Negative, denim is really jeans only ...redneck or Canadian exemption of course
  25. There is a time after the break in but before the fabric starts to disappear in which the denim is like perfect. Super soft but rugged. Jeans are an amazing product.
