Don’t make me post train snow blowers.

Yours aren’t much better 😂

Good stuff. I was going to go up there on Tuesday but this storm changed that plan. I'm off most Tuesdays so I'm thinking about heading up in two weeks. I really enjoy that place.

ok.

Awesome. Take it to the beer thread. They have some decent beer there. I know you don't drink, but enjoy!

My god you are miserable.

Post-storm sunsets rarely disappoint.

Finally some good shit. Well done salt man.

Urn your turns has taken a new meaning!

Still didn't answer.

Today was good good. These opportunities don't come often in PA, so I had to try and pull it off today in between teaching and meetings. Pulled into the upper lot around 10:45. Parked in the first spot at the entrance. Booted up, skins on, pack filled, and headed back out. They plowed it pretty wide so there wasn't much space next to the road. I decided to head into the woods which were fairly open. Took that all the way down, skinned back over to the opening to find the cut. Just over a half mile in, I was where I needed to be. I made a right and skinned to top of the pitch before the line started to descend. I got there and it was completely untracked. I knew it was going to be a good run, or untracked because it was all grown in. Skins off. The first pitch only offers a few turns, and is a bit more hairy than I remembered. I got a handful of good turns there before if mellowed out again. At the base of that pitch I could see everything below all the way to the power line cut that was my access back. It was open, untouched, and delightful. I was able to get a few dozen fantastic turns down that face to the bottom where the power line was. I got to the bottom and there was nobody there to high-five so I did clapped my poles together a bunch to let out some of my excitement. Took a second to shed some layers because the power line traverse back to the road was about 1 mile. Skins on, and off I went. Not a bad traverse. It took me about 20 minutes and the worst part was navigating over some creeks that I didn't know were there. Got to the road, skinned up to the Burma lift, and then skied down to the 6er and took that ride up to see how the snow was. 5 minute lift line. Skied back to my car. Now sitting in a meeting and plotting when I can do it again if it doesn't get baked in the sun tomorrow. Start to finished took about 90 minutes even with stopping and waiting and all that jazz. 4 miles round trip. It goes, ladies and gents. There is no better time than now to hit that up. Another fucking great day to be a skier in PA.

Damn that thing is moving!

yes.

I asked him a question about his trip, Douglas.

Are you skiing or just posting on this stupid site?

I think I saw you drive by when I was heading down the access road to the top lot. The place is mobbed right now.

You sound fun.

Gotta make the most of it! Have fun out there!

Yeah, post link please.

I'd be interested in a late spring trip somewhere north....

XC and trains?! Oh Lordy I hope a train comes by for you 😍

Same here. Driveway is white again.

There you go with the red arrows again....

small engine repair shops must thrive on the general population. Myself included, if I can't rig/fix this myself.
