Good seeing Mute and Boo Bear. Skied for maybe a half hour with them and now riding solo because I'm pulling late shift. Figured I'd just write a TR now because these lifts are freaking slow. That said and not to put a negative on skiing here today. The weather is excellent, conditions are excellent and the company was (before they left) most excellent! The north face always delivers and as always I find myself planted there. Made a few runs up top and one on the long haul (can't do that ride twice) but the action here is down below. Unfortunately that cuts the mountain on half so you definitely feel the short runs. White lightning has really big bumps in the middle and semi flat on the sides. Regardless you can't get to much speed or you'll get wrecked. Fun but I kinda prefer it when it's flat. It's actually somewhat crowded today as well but those folks primarily up top. Riding the iron horse lift now to get more t2b. That said montage is still a pod skiing mountain which isn't my favorite layout... In pa or anywhere for that matter but today is still a fantastic ski day and it's always nice to get someplace else. That said without company on the lift, the ride definitely gets boring. Hanging here for a few more then it's of to old forge for pizza

Just getting here. You guys still here

For anyone going still I probably won't be there until 10:00 10:30

No worries. Feel better

Man if there were discounts for every time I had a BM I’d be skiing for free for all of eternity. Edit. sorry for the dad joke eaf. No there aren’t

The first few runs were so money. Was thinking of course thinking it was only a matter of time before that disappeared. Surprisingly however conditions held up fairly well. Really fun day today.

Thanks man. one is fine!

If no one else wants it or if you aren't using it I'll take it off your hands.

@mute1080 offer one of your free tickets to GSS to entice him to come.

Who’s still in for Monday? Just bought my ticket online. Planning on being there at 9am. Weather looks decent with highs in the 40s and overcast skies. side note…the ticket is $45. They charge $5 for the rfid card. lol

Saturday. Sunday I’m in Gettysburg for a volleyball tournament

Doesn't appear that montage does. Here's what they got. "Doubling down on the fun, your pass also includes a General Admission ticket to this year’s Mountainfest featuring Better Than Ezra and Tonic and Mountainfest 2026! Our $399 sale only lasts one week and ends on March 3rd at Midnight. Price"

Ugh. Send it up here

I'd add the 2 free passes and $50 GC for blue. That's cash money. Either way...the real decision point for folks here is the icon epic Indy stuff. Not necessarily the Pennsylvania mountain of choice.

It's really not a bad deal. I used both Buddy passes on my daughter during Christmas week. That alone was probably worth $150. And I got my bindings mounted for practically free using the GC. So I technically paid $499 for the skiing.

It's official. 25/26 all access blue Mt is $699. $519 for off peak and $299 for youth

After skiing I’m, of course, stopping in old forge to pick up pizza. But the plan this time is to pick up an A&G red and a Salerno’s red for an official pizza off.

I refuse to use rock salt on the driveway. Shit will destroy it. I may try sand but idk. I prefer the wait till it melts but in the meantime park the cars as close to the grass as possible but when you do walk on it be freaking careful method.

Same!

Place looks awesome. Thanks for sharing

Watchu talkin’ bout Willis edit…I see this is in the montage forum. Disregard

Just got back not too long ago. Timing was great as crowds were minimal. The sunset views were also great. Winds dissipated as well. What wasn't great were the snow conditions. Sugar and hard pack with medium grip. Only the quad and the OG 6 were running. Which wasn't the worst thing in the world because that meant empty main Street and switchback runs. Speaking of switch it was easily the run of the day. Followed closely by coming soon. As bad as snow conditions were it was still a fun evening out due to lack of crowds and the world famous Blue mountain sunset. Decent night.

Ty. I’m thinking about heading down around 3 or so.

I'm over the winters here. I cannot wait to GTF out of PA. Same crap all the time. Warm, followed by rain / ice, followed by wind, followed by artic blast...rinse / repeat. Shits old.

Windy as hell. I’m opting for a late afternoon session after the wind tapers off. I’m hedging my bets on most of the tourists being gone by then coupled with lack of crowds tonight due to schools being closed. We’ll see if it pays off.
