Please. I've driven over 2.5 hours to get to Blue on some days. Leave earlier next time.

GSSucks and I are going to do that this winter.

Before PASR, I was a top lot-er. It's not just park and ski though is it? It's park, boot up, walk up flight of stairs, through heated lodged filled with gapers and clueless, Then ski. From the bottom lot, it's just quick short walk to the lift. There's been countless days when I've called it a day and gone out to the lot for beers, only to go back out for a few more runs. I'd never do that parked up top. If you want to change skis, or want to get another layer, you can catch back up with the group and only miss 1 run.

Ouch! Shots fired toast!

The Monster 88 is a more traditional camber. The 98/108 has some tip rocker.

Salty, why don't you have any stats recorded?

Merry Christmas?

My first shaped ski was a 2003/04 Head Monster 70 in 177 with system bindings. I'm stoked to see how they've evolved years later. I'm sure the 2016/17 Monster 88 in 184 is going to be a much better ski and I even found some Pivots to put on them.

I think I actually have a pair of decent Look NX bindings on mine. Maybe I'll bring them out one day in the spring.

I have some K2 TRC Comps in 206 somewhere. I think they are 60 under foot.

I'm 5'11. My Bacons and Mantras are both also 184cm.

7 runs in the first hour on good days, all to ourselves. 14-18 runs before 10:30 beers on the really fast days.

Shadows, this might be a good site for you. More than just ski gear https://www.geartrade.com Backcountry offloads their consignment and customer returns here. There's private sellers too. You can search for skis with or without bindings.

Sure we do. It's mostly (~90%) pass holders from 8:00-:835.

The amount of snowmaking going on this week on Blue’s tubing cam is impressive.

My fav

They just opened one here in NJ. I went to the grand opening a few months ago. I talked to a manager from one of the Wyoming stores. He said TJX killed off the deals they used to have and I agree, the deep discounts just aren't there anymore. He did say that they have access to a lot more brands now, like Under Armour, which only show up on their website as "Famous Brand". https://www.sierratradingpost.com/famous-brand~b~3631/ The store they opened is pretty nice. I'd say it's higher caliber than Dicks, but not REI. Both of those are on the same highway as the new STP (NJ10). I'd go there if I need to replace a piece of gear right quick for sure.

I'd take him up on that. Toast and I only get $1 to delete Doug's posts.

I forgot, I put the whole transaction on my 2% cash back credit card. ($380+$26)*.98-$32-$49=$317

Yup, been screwed numerous times up 476 from Bensalem to Blue. I've also made it an just over an hour.

That's the easy way out

Nice. In retrospect, I should have gone today instead of yesterday, but I was jonesing to ski yesterday.

I just scored a pair of 16/17 Head Monster 88 in a 184 from Sierra Trading Post. Price $380+$26 for tax brought the total to $406 which isn't a bad deal. Free shipping. My company has a discount program with STP, where I can buy gift cards at 8% off. So (4) $100 gift cards cost me $368. Yesterday, Ebates.com was running a 12% cash back at STP lowering the cost by another $49. $380+$26-$32-$49=$325.

Snowmaking on Tut’s upper and lower, but not the middle. The whole summit area, Challenge and Burma. Fan Guns going all day in Vista, Midway, Main St, Tuts and Lazy.
