Correct unless Frost skis the way it did 6+ years ago when Happyland, Vader, Elevator Glade etc. were readily skiable. In that instance I'd opt for Frost. CB is always better than BB. Blue, Elk and probably Montage over all of them. If were closer to Elk I'd probably have a pass there mainly for the better snow. I've always said it's a fun place but their marketing is a major turnoff.

Thankfully it happened on our last run.

Remember it well. That day ended my season

What are the dimensions on those again? not gonna buy them...just curious

My take...no one's leaving Blue for this despite Ski2Lives assessment that the masses will flock to JFBB or the mighty Hunter Mountain. I think Blue will actually see more passholders in that local pass holders, who could give a shit about the "perks", look at Blue's $450 or $499 and see that being a lot more attractive than $700 for JFBB with "perks". Forget the pass holders though....I can see group pricing increasing at a Vail owned resort prompting school groups, family groups or whatever group to move to Blue and we all know how much we love seeing those busses during night sessions. Hope I'm wrong there.

I'm hoping Vail can use their patented tectonic plate machine to push the plates under Lake Harmony together to thereby increase the vertical footage of BB by about 1500 or so feet. May finally prompt them to replace those wooden chairs.

Agreed with what Dan said. Plus if you're planning on doing a lot of night sessions, BB ain't gonna cut it. Western mountains or not. I'd gladly ski Blue after work and pay for tickets wherever out west than ski the majority of my days there. In NE I literally only care about one mountain that isn't Epic so that really doesn't do much for me.

I forgot...you're bad and boujee at Hunter now. BTW it's hunter, not Jackson Hole.

Wow. Just seeing all this now. Gots some reading to do. This is big news.

Umm no.

That's pretty funny. Haha

Maybe too late but I forgot to mention Beltsville, Mauch Chunk lake Park or the lake at Hickory Run if lakes are your thing. You can't really escape the tourists. There are a higher percentage of tourists at certain places (CB) than others but they're everywhere. It is what it is.

That's awesome

Depends on what you're looking to do. Off the top of my head...H2ooohhh, bushkill falls, Kalahari, Ricketts Glen, camelbeach, hawk falls, Boulder field, train ride in Jim Thorpe, Lehigh gorge, stores in Jim Thorpe, there's a nice driving range / mini golf in sciota with some good eats nearby. If I think of anything else I'll post

I was blasting / singing Man's not hot in the car the other day. The kids were appalled. Haha

Don't really need / want much for this upcoming season. I need gloves, maybe goggles, maybe a jacket, oh and maybe pants.

Bad ass whiteface shot from Instagram today

I'm not sure what's more impressive...Machu Picchu or those lines.

Friday night hike in hickory run

Holy shit

Haha. Not sure how I missed this. Here's one that I like better

Yes. Needed for the second floor only. First floor never needs it and yes mid to late spring, summer and early fall utility bills are awesome.

Broke down and put it in. Looks like we may need it this week.

I look forward to reading your TR
