Ride Delaware ?

Highs early next week of 41 at the access road. Factor in elevation, and the lows of 28/29 are in the low-mid 20's (excluding inversions), and they will blow snow. It's their MO. If I can get my first lift served October day, then I will...

This week is going to be gorgeous. Don't see many weeks like this in late October. Next week we get to business...

Forecast for next week continues to look better and better. Unless the inversions hit, we should be in business...

Looks like K-Mart may have a decent window at elevation to make snow in a week or so...

Where was that? Anything decent?

Blue Knob was awesome when I went. A little extra base off piste would have been nice. It's got a weird terrain layout, and some weird lifts, but definitely fun. I'm hoping Laurel is similar.

First decent sized PA mountain to open/reopen in a long time. Funded by $6.5 million in tax payer money. I wasn't into snowboarding enough to trek there before it closed in 05'. Any of the older PASRs been?

As long as he continues with the leaf peeping updates...

I think it's got potential. It's a beautiful area. I don't think it will ever get fully built out. The scale is just too large and it's in the middle of nowhere. Colebrook is a little tough around the edges, but it is a nice little town. The resort would do a lot for it.

Looks like there will be a small pattern change the weekend of the 22nd followed by a larger one the 29th. I'm sure Johnny Law has more specifics.

The state was doing some road improvements, and supposedly, since their salt depot is on the Balsams road, they are going to contribute to that as well. Past that, there was absolutely nothing going on at the mountain. They had the roads closed for events, but I have been told that it is for private sales meetings for the new units. I'm hopeful. Lord knows, that whole region could use the tourists.

It's vaguely coming back to me... That shit is crazy.

Oh man, I didn't know. Ski related injury?

Haven't heard much from you as of late...

In the winter, if I'm not at the mountain, there really isn't much to do...

I don't disagree. But if you have the money, free time, and aren't doing anything else, why not? Id rather do that than sit around at home with my finger up my ass...

One day maybe I'll have enough money and enough time to just fly to CO for October turns. That day is not today.

You back on the skiing bandwagon this year Root?

Still is. PennDot hasn't been able to secure funding for a replacement...

I wonder how much progress LL and Abasin have made. They usually open the 15th-20th of October, but I haven't been following as close as usual.

2016 bump. Tickets go on sale tonight at midnight. I believe the pricing and rules are all the same.

Looks like fall is finally here. Temps look to be following historic averages, so I don't think mid November for VT and early December for PA will be a stretch. Still hoping for October...

We had that same thing happen at the Bush last year. Only snow was on the trail with groomer cookies on the edge. Snowed 6" and covered it all up. Hit off the groomed surface into the rubble, and hit the ground.

It all started running together. I couldn't read past the first paragraph...
