Sounds good. It takes me about a half hour to get there. By the time I get my ticket, booted up etc. I hope to be up top by 9:30. I may be pushing it a few minutes though.

Move me into the confirmed column. I should be there around 9:30. Where's everyone going to be?

Agreed. PA's snow is similar if not better unless they get a storm, then they have us beat by far. The taller Mts is what makes the drive worthwhile IMO. Ditto. Both times I've skied at Stratton I've never taken to the gondi. The lifts are that good. Sweet pics. Looks like they still have a lot of snow.

And a special shout out to whoever it was who decided to give us the ice cream bars at the pass holders party. Even though I skied it less this season, JF is and will continue to be my home Mt. I'm already looking forward to next season and skiing East and the Elevator with the JF crew.

Nice pics!

I'm definitely a maybe.

Probably I didn't head over to the other side of the Mt. until 6:30.

Cliffhanger was tonight.

Just back from a VERY nice evening at CB. I got my ticket and headed for the Sullivan lift for a run on Margies. The snow was your typical spring surface....ungroomed and soft "mashed potatoes"... sweet! It's a good thing Camelback isn't closing because it would be a shame to waste the crazy amount of snow they still have. Next run I made my way across the Mt to the Stevenson and lapped Pharaoh and Cliffhanger for the next hour or so and found more of the same soft snow. Cliffhanger was awesome tonight. There was some serious spray from carving wide turns on the headwall and it was fun getting air especially at the bottom of the trail. Pharaoh had a thin spot and some of the cross over trails were a bit thin but nothing major at all. I made my way back over to the Sullivan for a few runs on the "front four". Around 6:30 or so the snow was beginning to firm up a little. Margies began to show a little ice, again nothing major. Overall tonight was a top notch spring skiing session. As I mentioned they have a lot of snow and should be fine for next weekend.

Go ahead rub it in.

I found these videos (posted on the Ski ADK forums) of Lookout Below. LB, complete with exposed rock and boulders, is a brand new, steep, narrow bump trail at Whiteface...serious stoke! http://forums.skiadk.com/about2323.html

Light gray pants, grey hoodie jacket. I was the fool without gloves (I forgot them at home). At first it wasn't too bad but by the time I left my hands were practically numb.

Nice TR R2 but, seriously, there wasn't a better comparison for the snow?

Just back from a fun 2 hour session at Big Boulder. I got there around 6pm to clear skies and semi warm temps although dropping (lower 30's when I left). I met up with Smartass was also in the house and we first headed up the Merry Widow lift to Mittl -Weg. The snow is really hard and frozen pretty much everywhere....not the best but it definitely could have been worse. We were hoping for some soft spring snow...never happened. Frozen cord was to be found on all trails with a few ungroomed frozen spots to keep an eye out for. The best thing about the snow is that there is still plenty of it. The base is still huge in spots and there's no thin or bare spots that I noticed. We lapped the Big Boulder chair for a while before calling it a night. Overall not a bad 1st day of spring.

I'm trying for Sunday

R2 is a Blue season pass holder now??

I had lots of fun skiing with PASR's this year at Frost. I'm glad you switched over to JF this year, PC. Next season, complete with the elevator, will no doubt be even better.

BOO.

I just got back from a warm and fun spring skiing session at Big Boulder. They still have enough base to last well into April, no thin or bare spots to speak of. The snow was inconsistent, soft in spots and hard in others...lots of fun to carve on. I ended up lapping Drauf, Mittl, Boulder Park and Snowdrift for the most part. By the way R2, what is glacier ice? Wasn't heavy at all. In fact I was hoping for heavier.

With all the PASR's at Blue that's pretty amazing.

Holy spring skiing Batman...41 runs just may be a Jack Frost single day record.

I didn't see you R2.

The rib's on a stick were pretty darn good.

cool pics man. Go ahead rub it in why don't you?

The 468 is worth it if you stay 3 days or so. By the way my hat goes off to you for having 22 days in and living so far away. That's pretty awesome.
