Stoked for you man. Can't wait to read the TR and hear your thoughts on WF. fingers crossed that the summit quad opens for you tomorrow. Not sure where they are with lookout mountain yet. Either way Essex, approach, northway speed runs to the base off little wf are always good first thing. Smoke signals is open from 4 to 9 tomorrow...Bazzis always comes through though. I've never seen that place closed. Hope you all have a great time. Potential for snow on Wednesday! Layer up though. Forecast looks brisk. Can't wait till we're there in March!

2 runs in 2 hours?? I would've channeled my inner Salty and demanded compensation in the form of a gift card.

Snowblower, thankfully, didn't clog up as much as I thought it would. Where I needed to shovel though was like shoveling bricks

As someone who's skied at Frost almost 200x with the vast majority of them being really really good...this is sad to hear. Frost has so much potential and Vail, I'm sure, doesn't care.

Today was good. Different, but good. Worth the drive for sure. 6.5 or 7 out of 10 overall. Main Street was an 8.5, NWDW 8 whereas coming soon was a 3 or 4. Zero crowds to speak of. The key was to find groomer tracks to get any kind of momentum. Trails that were groomed last seemed to be best. Other trails that had snow over what was groomed felt like skiing on glue. I don't think I ever turned as much on razors. Bottom of falls literally stopped you in your tracks. OTOH main was like main...a tad grippier but you could get speed and was consistent t2b. NMDW was similar and I dug the rollers on the right side. CS was bad however, but will probably get better as people ski it... Overall a fun day.

Saw 3 cars in ditches on the way home.

It's like diamond dust out here. Not sure what you mean.

It's snowing!

Hi Ben!
-
Flying solo today I guess? Raining here. Maybe it'll turn to snow as forecasted. Maybe it won't. Either way I'll make the best of it.

A lot of whatever snow fell last night is gone now. Looks / sounds like rain right now. Only in PA....
-
I hear you. It looks great right now. kinda sucks though knowing what's coming.
-
I could see any of those shots on a post card...nice work (or maybe a future magazine cover??)
-
Because it offers a good view of the lehigh river.

Good call. Greek is a cool place. Have fun!

I'll give you partial props. Benm and a few others provided good suggestions as well...although I did need to channel my inner Salty when I wrote it up. I'll give you that so thank you.

Props to American Airlines...sent a complaint through regarding my experience and they credited me 12,500 miles which is enough for a one way easily...I think maybe a round trip. Pretty pleased with that.

The string lighting and fire pits definitely add a touch of class to the base area. No doubt

Sorry I missed everyone! I bailed when the quad stopped. Didn't necessarily want to but the lines were more than I felt like dealing with. Looked for everyone in the lot...didnt see anyone so I hit the road. Skiing was really good. Rode Coming Soon most of the night with a few razors and one main street. BTW the snow was noticeably better on CS. Now cover the mountain this off season with the new high efficiency guns and that white lighting and we're in business.

I skied a lot less than I wanted to tonight. Conditions were pretty good. Love coming soon all lit up. I forgot how wide it is too and that little tree line is fun.
