As a kid I dreamed of riding that trail…never happened. Also, I remember the old snack shack but never saw it open…didn’t they have a restroom building near by? that trail seems similar to the double black diamond at spring mountain, which they keep on their trail map but probably hasn’t been open in 20+ years

Great pics @saltyant. Also good to see you today as well!

$65 room lol. Holy shit if those walls could talk

Quoted for truth. First run of day on nightweaver was great, second run of day not so much lol

I’m still on my 40th anniversary pass. Feel like I’m owed a new one at this point lol

TP4 spoke it, and it occurred a few days later…

It’s fun looking at satellite pics of blue through the years on historic aerials. Weird seeing no valley lodge

Only time i can think of was Circa 2015 blue didn’t open til January 8th, spring mountain actually opened before them

On my way up in Whitehall now, thought it was gonna rain and was worried they would be closed if I left at 7am for opening

Both 6 pack loading stations are pretty close to each other…might be crowding issues in peak season as there could be a bottleneck at the end of the old terrain run

My first water bill here was $525 for one month as they said I used 14,000 gallons of water. Called the Water company and they said “go fuck your self, there must be a leak like a toilet.” Two different plumbers were hired, both confirmed no leaks. Water company inspects meter, says it works fine, I owe them $525. Landlord raises hell, water company says “great news, you only owe $300 instead of $525.” Landlord goes nuclear and gets the state involved, has water company install new meter. 2 months pass…water company says “our bad, it turns out our meter was indeed faulty, you only used $35 worth of water.” Come to present day, my bill still hasn’t been adjusted to reflect I don’t owe the $300 (they claim the next bill will reflect this) actually have never seen trailer park boys

Hell, it’s hard to find a 2 bedroom apartment under $1500 in Philly metro

Me and mark are pissed his parents bought his bat shit insane crazy uncle (my former Roomate) a trailer home. They should have given that asshole a fucking cardboard box under a bridge. But yes I never understood why people bashed trailer homes yet were ok with apartments. The bad rep comes from bad neighbors and crime, but apartments have those too

Good to see you killing it! But I have to ask, where did the yellow snow in the last pic come from?

$365/month for a house is amazing. Id rather live in a trailer home than an apartment…bigger and no attached neighbors. I thought I made out paying $400/month for a house in Conshohocken

Just put the funnel trash cans back and at least half the trash won’t be there anymore

Just found out there is now a wawa near bear creek

Lines were fine at 11…lines were awful at 11:15. Razors was amazingly bad lol

Rode 2 hours and conditions were pretty nice, much better than I expected

Lazy mile, Main Street, and midway for this weekend

Forgot to mention yesterday was a pre-2019 weekday morning, where from 9-11 you just ride onto the lift with zero lines. Things changed in 2019, then in 2020 Covid destroyed weekday mornings as we had known them

Woke up at 5:30 to the sound of sleet and looked out the window to see a nice coating of sleet everywhere. First 15 mins of drive was pretty spicy, then rain til mid county, then no precipitation til blue. I believe first civilian run down coming soon and it was pretty smooth and chalky, probably the best conditions I’ve had this season. Paradise was similar and from the looks of it there will prob be a lazy Mile opening soon. Smallest crowds of the season I’ve seen. Snowed lightly while I rode from 9-11:30 but started snowing pretty good by the time I pulled out of the lot. Drive up the mountain was spicy as I need new tires, but as soon as I hit Appalachian trail the roads were clear with little precipitation. Snowed from Whitehall to the turnpike and then all rain. also, unless this storm is supposed to pick up something serious later, 8 inches seems absurd lol.

I highly doubt that, but did see it was a possibility. I guess I’ll pack my gear Saturday and make the decision in the afternoon.
