NMSKI

Longest line on the quad was between 5 and 10 minutes on Saturday at the peak. Way less crowded today.

We had another great day today. This weekend was cold as balls but the sun was shining which was nice. The grooming and the snow really was nice. The conditions were so nice that my wife was enjoying the groomed black runs which is a big step up in challenge, and my kids were wanting to ski bumps almost every run! I think we’ll do a weekend up there every year from now on we had so much fun. Lift tix were pretty cheap, and the restaurant was decent and really cheap for a ski area. Place was 100% open except for the one natural snow run.

We had a great day at Elk today. Spent most of the day on the quad side and the whole family enjoyed it. There was fresh snow blown on the ungroomed trails, and the bumps were nice and soft. It even started snowing pretty hard for a bit and there was a decent couple of inches on top of the bumps on Chippewa. My son and I were the first tracks down and it was a blast! The kids enjoyed Tunkhannock also and I’m really happy that they are keeping up with me. My son on Chippewa pics of the fam Tunkhannock in the AM

Lucky!

I'm considering gaining 10 lbs so I can have a BMI over 30. Was playing around with the calculator online and I didn't realize that "obesity" is strictly based on height and weight.

I was just listening to the Undertaker on Rogan. Very interesting listen.

I had a chimney guy come look at one of my chimneys and he wanted me to take a look at the top of the chimney to show me something and my arms and legs were shaking as I climbed the extension ladder and got all the way up there. I find it funny how I can stand on skis above a huge cliff or exposure and I'm totally fine but I can't climb a damn ladder without freaking out.

That’s an excellent question that my wife knows the answer to. I think a rental of some sort. I’ll take a picture.

Hope you guys have a great time! I’m doing 2 days at Elk this weekend so I’ll miss the PASR day since I’m only willing to drive to Vermont once.

I’m going to elk this weekend!

I thought Jeff was April for the Easter egg hunt?

I’ll put some recommendations in the book thread later today. Been meaning to do so for a while now.

Good old Chuck is always good for a controversial quote.

Every time I pull out of the parking lot it feels like I’m leaving Las Vegas.

I’ll be there on Sunday to soak up the sun.

I remembered snowy peaks but I had to look up Maris.

This is exactly what would have happened if Maris corp would have been able to take over Snowy Peaks in the 1990 classic movie Ski Patrol. Luckily the Snowy Peaks ski patrol was able to thwart the evil conglomerate's takeover attempt.

I'm taking my family up to Elk in a couple of weeks to change things up. Online ticketing is still not available, though, so I hope they get it up and running soon so I can skip the wagon.

I didn't realize until this morning that you can't get your 10% season pass discount if you buy lift tickets for someone else in advance online. This seems like something they should fix.

HUNDSLAPPADRÍFA is an Icelandic word for especially heavy snowfall. It literally means ‘snowflakes as large as dogs’ paws’. I enjoyed the hundslappadrifa today.

See everyone on Sunday!

What about trying a code reader? I've heard that can be helpful.
