stop.

Absolutely correct.

Stfu

Come to Blue : )

so you want to take a 4 hours bus ride to a mountain instead of driving and then ride on snowblades? is this for real?

I'll be at blue on Monday... likely early in the morning.

I thought it was going to be crazy yesterday when I saw how crowded the lot was when I got there but everybody was spread out. I didn't wait in a lift line at all thank god. I believe it gets packed. All the locals were so pumped that it was empty and said it was the best day if the season so far. Great timing for me.

If you ever want to go out I'll come with. Place is funnnn.

So this weekend I went out to see the gf in Pittsburgh and thought i might as well try and make the long drive not as terrible by stopping at Seven Springs to check the place out. Yesterday they claimed to have 7 inches fall, and 2 overnight, and then this morning 3-5 more fell. I wasn't really expecting too much of the place since nobody really talks about it, but let me tell you, it may not have the vert or steepness of other places, but their open terrain policy, acres and acres of glades, and tons of natural snow with a decent pitch to the mountain makes it better than anything I have skied in PA for sure. It seems as though there really aren't too many hardcore people to track the place out like Blue usually gets, but maybe that's because it's spread out over so much of the area that there is too much to cover. Oh well, i benefit from that. One cool thing about the place, is that when you drive on the access road to come in, it looks like you are going to have to pay a toll, but the booth is actually where you buy your ticket. No need to go into the lodge, you can just do it right from your car window. Super convenient. Oh, and they have two high speed 6packs. what now Blue? Left my house at 5:15 this morning and pulled into one of the lower lots around 8:50. This pic makes the place look small, but this is where the super pipe and kiddy area is. The North Face are is where there are steeper and longer runs. i got down to the lifts after booting up around 9:10 and the lifts were spinning with not many people around. It's awesome how wide open some of their trails are. so much room to have fun. Their lodges are pretty baller too. and they have so many hotel rooms there. crazy. the first lift ride up i knew it would be a good day. still tons of snow that was hardly tracked out from the last storm they got on wednesday and filled in nicely with the recent snow. consistent boot deep shots on ungroomed trails and boot-knee deep in trees all day. After exploring much of the mountain and everything that it offered, i pretty much decided on staying over on the north face lapping the Gunnar lift because i found an entire gladed area that was untouched near the Turtle Neck glades which fed into the Turtle Claw glades. this is steeper than it looks, and much more clear than it looks, but it's the only picture i took of it. also tried taking a video, but it's shaky. you can still see how nice everything was, though. Turtle Claw glades/run. run of the day. steep start and then flattens out. boot deep most of the day. The Avalance lift and Tyrol lift had some great trees to rip in on either side of the lifts and that's where i ended my day. ended up having the best day i ever had in PA. topped the JF PASR day last year times 10. ended up getting awesome fresh turns on every run and even got a face shot once after blasting through a pillow sitting on a tree stump. i wish there were other out there with me to share in the fun. sorry for lack of pictures of people skiing, but the place was empty, and i was riding solo. oh well.

i hope you guys have as good as a day as I did today out at Springs. Best PA day I have ever had. No doubt about it.

redemption trip to Utah mid March. I personally guarantee a "stoke-filled" report.

you guys will have a blast this weekend for PASR day.

blue just closed. about 2 more hours of snow. everything will be groomed tomorrow. get in the trees if you can. there is already a hefty base, and this heavy snow will help. hopefully we get another storm next week!

i'll either be at Blue, Friday for opening, or 7 Springs.

same here. just got back from the gym and shoveling. should start dumping any sec. not sure how long it will last, i have a feeling it's going to get groomed over night. i'm still wish i could go tomorrow morning.

i'll be up around 5:30-6ish.

Thursday evening will be the best. I'll be there at 12ish.

megabus is the shit

interesting.

just drive with a group so they chip in. easy solution.

i want to go.

I agree.
