Drove past that on 115 yesterday haha. I think it was coming from the Raceway.

I heard that, as part of the sale, Solitude will feature the one and only Phillycore this season.

Rgrwilco where is that?

...

Kinda sad since we're only a few weeks from ski season. I just took a picture of blue. I'll post that

The vines just make it harder on the great Pumpkin when he delivers candy and toys.

Rjspeerjr don't let GrilledSteezeSandwich scare you away. He means no harm and is actually a pretty funny guy in person.

Glad he joined. Our member base needs to expand westward.

Check out a bunch of places and decide for yourself which is best. Some people like Park, some like longer runs, some like the ability to stick to trees etc. It really depends on what you like. PS if you don't want to ski alone, never and I mean NEVER suggest carpooling on this site. A former member here got all douchey about carpooling and ruined the idea forever. 70 or 80 percent of PASR skis blue. You'll always find someone there. Also don't be so quick to hate on Frost (especially if you haven't skied in 25 years) . When there is snow there is stuff to keep decent skiers interested.

Good point. When you get older and have kids it's about priorities. Most of us have big boy or big girl jobs then when we get home we have to take care of our kids which is another full time job leaving us to pick and choose which hobbies to partake in since time /money is limited. For some that may be Eagles games. For others like me it's skiing. I mean how many people on this board have kids? I would say a good 8 or 9 out of the 12 of us who post. ;-) Regarding local hills, I have the good fortune of living in a county with three ski areas. My home or local hill was jfbb but is now blue. When I can pull over on my commute home from work and ski 1100 vertical feet for an hour or two then continue on my ride home, it doesn't get any more local ski hilly than that. I bitch about being stuck here sometimes but in reality I'm pretty fortunate.

Here's an aerial (ferris wheel) pic from a local Carbon Co October fest on Saturday with The Blue Mountain and Bake Oven knob out in the distance.

Does this mean a free ticket to solitude on the day you arrive?

If anything hopefully Deer Valley will come up with a better lift layout. Other than that the place is awesome hopefully nothing else there changes. Can't wait to get back.

This is a great deal.

F that. I'd move.

What do they normally have open on opening day?

You ordered a fireplace pumpkin. Sweet! ;-)

Looking to pick one up for my daughter this year. Thank you sir

Noticed it yesterday. Looks like another tubing tent structure near the lodge

PAskiing you're right. Sucks that there isn't much if any mountain representation on here anymore. When done right, it's been pretty successful. For example, there's no doubt that KCSKI got people here interested in Montage (then Sno) and drummed up some business in the process. Another example was when Phillycore began a petition here to "bring back the elevator" at frost 5 or 6 years ago. they heard us and brought it back from a overgrown sticker bush forest to an actual trail again. That alone earned them my pass money and a few years teaching there. JFBB even offered PASRs discounts to a pasr day a few years back. My opinion is that a lot of the marketing people for the mountains around here just aren't in tune with the local skiers and riders as much as in Vermont etc.

I remember when BC actually linked to this site. That may have been pre-GSS though One of the vast array of reasons why working in the ski industry sucks if you, in fact, love the sport is that you can't talk about it unless you're marketing it. For me at least, when skiing becomes a job (and it's been close for me a few times) there's a problem.

So about those ski trips... Who's going where?
