  1. 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.......

  5. Fort IndianTown Gap ? Their air corridor is right above you and it used to be one of the primary combat training grounds.
  6. I wasn't saying that to be a dick I'm saying its gossip so grain of salt
  7. 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.
  8. ^FKNA that's a good video love the vibe and the history
  9. Us too, got 10second glances with binocs through the clouds nothing more
  10. Negative, denim is really jeans only ...redneck or Canadian exemption of course
  11. 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.
  12. I was at a bachelor party up in Pine Creek Gorge, leaves are just starting to change....won't be long now.
  13. I hate that shit, I now just tell the guy every time....yo mofo my ride has 190k miles on it because the good people at Honda decided not to make anymore boxes on wheels. It's got 9lbs of random cereal, 6lbs of sand, 17k bottle caps and either a bike or 5 pairs of skis in it how much do you really think I care about the cabin filter or that my air filter as they put it last time is currently enjoying a mid life crisis ?
  14. How tall are you ? First pic you look super tall or like you have a tiny head LOL It's just the way the picture was taken, no hate
  15. hahaha that's my berks education coming through........my sister lives in Pittsburgh now and we were visiting and checking out the dirty dozen a bike thingy they have in winter.....
  16. Pittsburgh....nobody goes to Harrisburg except to drink beer or because your in local gov't... R-Phills are awesome, stadium is sweet and they are actually kinda good.
  17. Reading.....everything and everyone in reading is broke outside of penske and carpenter.....Al Boscov who is 100000 years old and lives near me pays for everything when he dies they are really fucked......
  18. I'm about 5mins outside of Reading in Exeter....I do not though I'm impressed that the Ding has money to clean windows LOL Was in the burg this weekend, HB House is fucking a sweet but this place is redic....beer is real solid classics....not my pic...my pic was blurry because I was drunk EDIT: Fuck place is Church Brew Works
  19. Sick Bird !!! Dude I've passed that place a 1000 times and never skied there so cool to know whats up...
  20. I would ask if you were sure but you know everything about the LV I swore though it was Trexlertown GP......crazy I know I haven't slept in since April....last Sunday doesn't count because I was wicked drunk Saturday night I always forget about the D&L thanks man....I'll let you know for sure, I'm super busy right now but sometime soonish though considering your monster ride your going to need to bring a jigsaw puzzle or something. I can go all day and I love to climb but I'm not very fast. Biggest thing we have around here is up to the Pagoda which really only has spook lane which is 13%avg but only for a half mile.....which is part of the reason I want to do BM Drive, I wanna ride the dirty dozen race in Pittsburgh this winter and in Berks we run out of up pretty quick on the steep roads.
  21. This morning was so nice, around 60 here in Reading.....was actually a little chilly on the way down Skyline drive... Thinking about a new ride leave reading pop over the ridge in oley which drops you out by Bear, go by trexlertown game preserve (which I heard is now LV zoo) run opossum into Slatington and use west mountain view to go up to Blue. I got a pretty good route to LV Zoo but if you know a better way from there to Blue I'm all ears. That's kinda far from my house so I don't get out that way alot.
  22. My goal as always is to be super steezy
  23. Skevik's ! Nice those are fucking sick and pretty rare
  24. They should have insurance to cover any litigation related loses......
  25. You can't ever really know unless you attended the trial, I mean if you don't know the evidence it's real hard to make a judgement. This is super rare, you have to have failed basic things to get a decision like this and based on that article it sounds like they did. "he was able to convince the jury that Roebuck had not been made aware of the risks associated with snow tubing, and that Bear Creek failed to ensure that the run was safe on the night Roebuck was injured or that it was designed properly to begin with" This is 99% of why they found themselves here, seriously if somebody gave this douce canoe a 1min of instruction he's probably fucked plus and this is a big plus the design is a huge problem. Juries are stupid generally by design, you don't want smart people you want dumb people you can convince of things easily. By getting an expert to testify that the design was poor it preys on certain narratives that already exist in the society at large. Add this into the mix "He had to undergo spinal fusion and can no longer lead an active lifestyle, according to his lawsuit." and 2.1mil isn't super outrageous. Look dudes I don't like people that sue ski areas but this case appears to be a one off and at least on the surface has decent merit.
