True. If there is any silver lining its if the injury did knock me out for the season at least I got to ski that. Now that the morphine and pain meds have worn off the good news is that I'm in far less pain then I was yesterday. Positive sign I guess. I'm going to do everything I can to get back out there.

SMH. I don't want to diss patrol because they did help me out but wtf. That's pretty frustrating

It took my injury to prompt them to put the sticks up

Today was amazing. Top day in PA for sure. Knee deep easily in spots. Some places deeper Unfortunately it didn't end to well for me. Last run on home stretch, whiteout conditions, didn't see an ice boulder as it was tough to determine the where the trail edge was in home stretch. My skis hit it. I ejected and landed on my shoulder fracturing my humorous bone. Ski patrol carted me down and I ended up at Palmerton hospital. My season may be over by I will do everything I can to keep that from happening. While today was epic and shitty all at the same time, the best part of today was knowing that I could rely on amazing friend who stood by my side from the ski patrol snack, followed the ambulance and sat in the er with me for 3 or 4 hours, then took me home. Jfdan wouldn't want me to post this probably but I am because it's worth mentioning and you all know him. He's been with me through some of the the roughest times in my life... including today and each time (including today) I couldn't have gotten through shit without him. Dan I say this in the most not weird way that I can... I love you my man. Thanks!

Top is kinda windblown and crusty in spots. After the initial headwalls it's heaven all the way back to the quad. Floatation and all! 6 pack seems to be having issues. Lower lot... Think I saw you guys this morning Headed back out shortly

Challenge I would say at least 10 inches. Still falling hard Dan the man and I enjoying a few beers before heading back out

Mother fucking awesome!

Some of my finest work has taken place in flight.

No snow yet here in the Pocono Mountains. In fact we're at this insanely good Thai joint. Who would've thought that a few years ago that one could enjoy a nice Thai meal in the Poconos? We've definitely become posh around here.

Tonight was good. Nice to get back on switchback. I freaking love that trail. Unfortunately however it was chock full of cookies. The headwall on razors was decent. Everything below makes the Girl Scouts of America pale in comparison. Lazy and Paradise were another world. Decent snow on both. Didn't get over to main street. Toast was in the house and has a really sweet picture of conditions on razors this fine evening. Overall it was a fun night.

Good news on switchback

Nice report. Hoping for switchback tomorrow.

Who from here goes to Montage for the upper mountain? The few t2b runs all the way over on the far side are nice. After that, when I'm there I'm usually sticking to the North Face lift.

Once you meet everyone it's hard to not identify someone. PASRs are always lurking at Blue.

Nice report. Was debating it today but never materialized. Hoping for challenge, NMDDubb, switch by Thursday.

Classy.

Does it even matter since the race team owns east mountain now.

I don't mind sugar. Much better than boilerplate

Usually about 5 - 10 degrees colder in the pocs (not Palmerton or Lehighton but on the plateau itself).

How bad was it in the am? Didn't think it was that bad last night. Have definitely skied worse.

What's the elevator looking like? Can it be skied or does it look like the Amazon rain forest again?

That's because it's Macungie. I kid. It looks bad everywhere.

Razors is slick. A few people are on it that shouldn't be

Here now and definitely glowing. Snow is decent. Nice large sugar piles on the sides of the the trails. Great for working the legs. MBike is in the house rocking teles. Great night.

Actually not even Blue. Blue has faster lifts.
