  1. What rain??? Screw that noise, I'm hoping for all snow up on top of the hill. That doesn't always turn out how I want it to though. Sleet makes for a good base too so I'll take that as well.
  2. hmmmmm I might just have to hit this up today and try em out. Don't know how i feel about poutine that isn't curds though, gotta be worth a try. I'm gonna grab the rents a gift cert. to the grill anyway.
  3. Nothing against the mountain, but I was on the schedule tonight and I'm kinda glad I'll have some free time to wrap and bake cookies and visit family and friends. I'd guess I'll be workin there by friday if they keep blowing when they can, although webcams don't show any features or anything out and still pretty minimal coverage.
  4. On the upside........ the Lehigh is running at around 8,000 cfs. Wonder if they'd rent a raft outta white haven this time of year??
  5. I'll start there soon enough........I'll get to floodin the suggestion box ASAP. Also, if they're so dang hoity toity maybe we can get em to put poutine on the menu or app list for the bar. Viva La Cholesterol!!!!
  6. How old is that photo?? Last I saw that thing got a sexy paint job. I heard it's a grill, cook up some burgers and dogs while you're practicing your hand drags.......bring mom's oven mit.
  7. That's just frost, I had the same amount of white on my yard this morning down the road from BC. Hike park? Isn't it supposed to rain from saturday til tuesday?? This weather is why I don't blame em for not blowing early. Just seems like a waste of resources. I guess it's up to them to carry the local ski retail industry though so they are totally dropping the ball.
  8. You guys are all crazy. I want them to open as much as the next guy but I'm not surprised at another slow start. I don't even think the ski season is their big money maker anymore so i'm not surprised that they won't bend over backwards to open early as possible. Besides, the real story to get the winter stoke going is the new feature BC ironworks just wrapped up. BC's fault local ski shops aren't doing well?? I'm sorry I just find that laughable. Blue was open a few days last weekend, did you see the shops going nuts becuase of their early hard work??
  9. i've only heard of blue knob a couple times. Don't even have a clue where it is. Western PA ain't all bad, never been during the winter but I know it has some of the best whitewater and fishing of the whole state when it's warm out.
  10. Never been to Springs, although I think I might road trip out there this year. It's just so hard to justify 4 hours west when 5 and a half north could put you in VT. What do they offer that is so much more than bear?? You're cat looks very pleased with that outfit.
  11. Go for it, I personally find cat facts more interesting than debating when my local mountain will open up. it will happen when it happens.
  12. I'm calling it.........White Christmas this year here in SEPA.
  13. I'm gonna go ahead and take a guess at something like december 20th opening for BC, I'm just shooting in the dark though. I regularly pass sno on my way to elk, much more variety and a better mountain in my opinion. That said, I'd take anywhere in the catskills over elk any day. I have indeed seen my cat run 15 feet up a tree, turn around, then run straight back down. Just cause they can't decend slowly does not mean cats have to back down a tree. She also caught a flying squirrel last year. BC's lodge and hotels are better than any in PA and most on the entire east coast I'd say. It's just the view from the lodge that is kinda lacking
  14. ha those are exactly the types of phrases I was looking for, actually one more having something to do with beer will probably be needed as well. No significant other at this time, I'll be traveling with my father but we usually just ski together then party seperate on these trips so if I go wandering at all I'll be solo. We're staying at Frontenac actually so that should be badass. Thanks for all the help so far guys, minus douglass of course. How you seem to post so much and still say so little will always be a mystery to me.
  15. I might look into that, I need it within 2 months so I've got a little time but knocking it out in one day sure does sound good to me. Is there a hefty fee to taking care of it instantly like that??
  16. Yea it's pricey but for what you're getting it seems very worth it. I've only been skiing up in Canada once so it should be a new experience for sure. I just want me some poutine in a bad way. I gotta get on my passport STAT though.
  17. Sounds good but I have a feeling it would be a challenge for me to fill the extra rooms, not many of my friends ski or board and even less would be willing to rent a suite at BC I think. I was up there at trails end for halloween with a lady friend and she won a free day pass on some trivia so I'm thinking we might make a lesson day out of it. A suite sounds like it would turn into a party real fast. I'm afraid to ask about the rate though.
  18. Rooms available into december now I heard but don't quote me on it. Looks like it's gonna be fun what with the whole carnival thing goin on and all. And I guess staying at this sleezy roach motel doesn't sound too bad either...... What club you with?? My old man got us in Upperbucks long long ago so we could take killy bus trips and such at reasonable rates. I owe much of my younger days of skiing vermont to these touristy bus trips and I must say they are usually a really great time. also been to Orford and Winter park with the EPSC before and it's always a great time for all.
  19. School me on Canadia please. I'll be taking a bus trip to quebec city this winter for the EPSC Winter Carnival, gonna be skiing Mont St. Anne and Massif I believe. Anybody been there and can offer any helpful advice?? Secret stashes, lifts to lap or avoid, french phrases that are worth their weight in gold, places that are a must see in the area???? Any advice is appreciated and of course I'll be sure and take some pics for a slightly informational TR upon my return.
  20. Free dinner or not, I'm honestly thinking of spending a night at the hotel there this year just for fun. That place is pimped out with pools and jacuzzis like a frickin new england resort. Hell better than most new england resorts.And I live 5 minutes down the road ha. Probably headed up today to snap a picture and snag my pass. Gonna check out a little place for rent up there too, Any of you older doe mountain visitors know what the deal is with that ski chalet looking place like two houses up from the access road?? It's got a for rent sign out again and I've always wanted to check it out. Looks like a cool house for sure and I kinda just wanna see the inside even if it's not a serious potential for a new place.
  21. Staying open longer cuts into wedding revenue But seriously, anybody know where to find this ignore feature???
  22. Oh look, Douglass Cu*ting up another BC thread. I think he's just pissed a more southern mountain with half the vert of blue still seems to be showing them up monetarily every year. I'd love to see the numbers. Bear will open when it opens, before christmas probably, but I'd be surprised if it's as early as the tenth or 14th. I'd be happy don't get me wrong, I just can't rule out a mid december thaw this far south. I don't blame em for not blowing early, also everyone here knows they can blow like mad and open in 2 days when the weather looks really good so I'm not worried that they aren't blowing yet. Now where is this ignore feature I'm hearing about?? A GSS free Pasr sounds like a dream come true.
  23. uh any pass holder, like could a cheap employee get in on this with an employee pass????? I mean with what they pay us to bust our butt shoveling they outta treat me to a buy one get one entree haha.Let it go Doug, just let it go man. Course we do get discount cafeteria food all season so there's that I guess. Dear god the monster salads I used to construct at the salad bar last year were well worth the 6 bucks or whatever.
  24. Nice man, been following dowork posting about this adventure over on NS too. Really wish I coulda got down there, too bad my tires are bald as fuck and I'm fucked for gas money this week. Nice to see somebody got after it. I'll make it down there this year I hope.
  25. Little too far north in PA for me, well for what it is at least. If I'm driving that far up I'm going to elk or pressing on to the catskills. It is surprising they have money trouble though being that close to scranton. Do people in that city not ski or something??? If I lived right next to it I'm sure I'd call it my home mountain. Best of luck to ya though.
