Just took an amazingly long green/blue route. So much fun.
-
First fresh tracks right under the gondola. Perfectly groomed.
-
Thanks for the responses. It was only a 22 minute drive Currently waiting for first gondola even though locals keep “subtlety” jumping line.

Thinking I'm going to pull an audible and go to Stratton tomorrow. Your thoughts?

Weekend Roll Call thread!!! 3/24-25

See other mtns section. -
I’ve had this quick 2 day riding trip planned for about 5 weeks and of course, the last time I ride before leaving (Sunday) I tweak my knee. Thought about not coming but decided to go ahead and continue anyways. 330 wake up call. Pulled outta my parking spot at 430 on the dot after 10 mins of cleaning my car off. The Roads weren’t too bad, the worst being for the first 30 minutes of my drive. stopped at wawa for cash and coffee and let it rip for another 2 hours. Stopped right outside of Vermont for a bathroom break and Dunkin. Back on the road for the final 45 minutes and pulled into the main lot at 903. 4.5 hours with 2 stops. Notbad.gif By far the best conditions I’ve ever ridden. Perfect winter snow all morning and softened up after lunch. Sun most of the day and moderate temps. Beautiful perfect day. Got my ticket and ready by about 930. A lil 420, a donut and I was on the lift by 945. I rode their 6 pack bubble for about the first 3 runs, just getting my feel for the place. I then took a run down the north face of the mtn then over to Carinthia for about 5 park laps. They only had a couple park runs set up to my surprise, but very long runs with a lot of features. I rode the medium park nitro for the majority of the time. Went easy in the park because of my knee. Oh well. After that I took a few runs down the north side then hit the lodge. I really like how their lodge has multiple spread out small places to get different stuff. I went with a vanilla latte along with some snacks and a lil 420 at the car, then sat at the base for about 45 minutes just relaxing, trying not to fall asleep in their comfortable chairs. After “lunch” I rode the main face and the north face from 1-4 and caught one of the last bubbles up. Soooo much fun to ride as fast as you want and still have a nice long run. I had a fantastic time lapping the blues on the main face and lapping the diamonds on the north face. Around 3 I started to explore some of the trees and look forward to doing more tomorrow. After riding I hit about 5 shops on RT100 looking for something but came up empty handed. Went back to the hotel, checked in and writing this report in the indoor hot tub. After this I’m gonna shower and go grab something to eat on 100, comeback and watch the remainder of the 76ers game. Speaking of which, I saw a few people wearing eagles stuff. I had to give them quiet E A G L E S Eagles chants/gobirds. Hoping for a decent breakfast in the morning...

Sounds like an awesome place in an awesome location! congrats Sally. Sidenote: you seem really cool and I wish I would have been able to introduce myself before you moved. Back on topic....I'm leaving the office. We already have 3+ inches at a quick glance.

Where in Bucks are you? Doylestown has been pretty lackluster with their roads the past 2 storms. -
Yo I'm about to get blasted in Dtown is that last model comes to fruition.
-
Left the house at 625 and on the lift by 650... I'm jealous Enjoralas! Anyways, nice report and like you said try buckmans for some boots. I was at the Montgomeryville location on Saturday and they has some nice deals going on.
-
Lol that's some next level thinking, you may very well be right... This! Anything but rain and or high temps that would diminish snow I'm cool with.

Another awesome morning. Early Switchback was ROTD. I think I saw or followed indiggio on switchback like 3 times lol. Park was good, snow was good, weather was money and a gang of PASRs. I only ended up riding for about a dozen runs and bounced by 1030. Enjoy a a run through the park, or become dizzy. Sorry. IMG_0590.MOV

antman12 replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Great morning of riding. Caught first lift for the first time ever with AJeff and Toast and got in 16 runs from 8-11. Conditions were great all over the mountain. Anyone going to double dip tomorrow? I might ride from 8-10 and 11-1. It's should be another beautiful day. See you guys again in the am. -

Sooo many good points here Schif. Like you said I've never actually ridden a well groomed/maintained halfpipe. I also agree that the younger generation snowboarders are coming up from their parents influencing them. I can directly relate to this with my niece and nephew. -
Don't tease me Root....

How much width would a tow rope need? 10 ft.? I'm sure they could fit one on the side of the lower park. Not that they ever actually would. Half pipes are a complete waste of snow and money on the East coast. Some northern mtns have them of course, but they also hold marque events.
