I have to believe they did some market research at some point, at least I would hope they did to gamble that much money...

They need something that nobody has around the area, like this...

Found this too that shows location and orientation... http://www.poconorecord.com/assets/pdf/PR1349126.PDF

Most of the time I am...

Surely the lift lines would be short!

So long as they keep offering the discounted season passes.

Mad one yesterday. Nice and warm up top, cracked, frozen face by the time you got down to the lifts. Afternoon snow and temps were spectacular.

I'm simply a beer drinking, donut eating, motorcycle and roller-coaster riding, snow dancing, dope of a skier, in search of another day in paradise... Sincerely, indiggio

Yup, that one works well too! Ski The East tweet: **THE NATIONAL HYPE SERVICE HAS ISSUED A WTF EVERYONE IS FREAKING OUT ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHEAST**

Always a good way to screw with someone's shot, tell them to hit the ball as hard as they can...

Seems to be a bell curve with me. Once the right number of beers have been consumed, the scoring ability begins to taper off.

The only way to golf, with a cooler of beer in the back of the cart!

In the loosest possible sense of the term, but on the + side, she does like winter/snow.

Snow dance commencing...

That would work too! Anywhere there's cold, snow and big mountains...

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a dumping. I've just lived here too long to get my hopes up (Don't believe the hype!). Being a realist, my money is on the 'r' word...

Need to try to get wife to agree to retire to there...

Wake him up, he's dreaming!

On the up side, a little melting and precipitation may be a good thing. With all the brutal cold weather and massive snow blowing, I noticed the retention pond was looking a bit low. It could use a bit of filling before the cold air returns at the end of the week, just in time for the guns to get going again!

That cracked me up.

Not the rain, but the fog that I'm worried about...

Was thinking the same thing. Hopefully this is a quick heat up/cool down that doesn't cause too much damage.

So said their FB post...

I've seen articles on this and WFMZ just did a blip on it. I find it hard to believe just looking around at Blue on a weekend day. http://www.wfmz.com/news/news-regional-lehighvalley/Snowboarding-going-downhill-in-popularity/-/132502/18299144/-/eaagbi/-/index.html

Just got back from a morning session. Left the house at 7:20 with the thermometer reading 9. Got up to the mountain about 8:20 with at temp at the summit of 14. First run down Chute to Main Street showed the guns still going on the entire Main Street run. Chute and Main Street had a bit of marbles which I thought was surprising. There weren't many, but they were in batches, probably from where the big wells were blown. Took a run down Paradise which had super soft, man-made powder. It was squeaky chalk and quite slow. I'm sure the lack of wax on my skis didn't help at all. They were grooming Challenge, so instead took Razors. The top headwall is hard as a rock and a sheet of ice. The only new snow was the overblow from Challenge. It was fast until the first flat. Felt like they blew some new snow there. Challenge finally opened about 9:30 and was surprising soft right off. I skied past the two SP who had took the tape down. When I got to the bottom, I got whistled and accosted for poaching the run. After a brief conversation with the SP and a bit of radio chatter, things got squared away and they let me go. Later in the day it seemed like marbles were coming up to the surface as more people skied on it. Finally around 11, Switchback opened to superb conditions, except for a small stretch of marbles in the middle. Otherwise it was fast and quite carveable. They've started grooming Sidewinder and building some features. They've groomed a tabletop at the bottom and have some rails set on the sides. I don't think it's gonna be ready for tomorrow. Lower Sidewinder was also closed with hardly any grooming to it. Nightmare and Dreamweaver were closed, but nothing being blown on it, nor did it look like it had any grooming done to it either. Took a couple of runs through the glade just for fun to see what they were like. Since nobody had gone through, it was just hard, man-made piles. Lastly, there were no bumps anywhere to be had. Main Street was groomed flat from side to side. I suspect they'll probably seed some, maybe tonight? JADIP...
