^ oh i get it!

same. opening until 11ish for me. i dont know if i'm bringing my park skis or not. maybe i'll just bring both in case it actually gets groomed out nice after this fuckin' rain.

sick skis. how much?

so kevin has stuff for skiers, and larry has stuff for boarders.... can either of you hook up a blader?

i'mm be up until 11 in the morning. then, of course, i have a meeting at 12.

i heard that they didn't have enough interest fro people to rationalize building them right away. i don't know the truth behind that, but its just what i heard. i have a feeling that things like that will start to pop up a little more with the new ownership and the trend towards making PA mountains more of a 'year-round resort'

i think Blue and Bear are still open... if you are really craving some turns you could head there.

damn that changed quickly. regardless, its going to be a great time up there on the last day. my Forman Mills attire is coming back out to play.

oh hey thanks Bob. at least somebody else understands where i'm coming from.

Amen.

i'm sure there will be alcohol. i know i'll have some just to keep me warm. i'm not going gaper either. its too cold to wear the stuff that i have.

last time i looked, saturday is lookin' nice Trev! should be a great day to snap some shots!

apology accepted.

you mean you aren't going to complain about them doing this?! how dare you! (oh sorry to respond, i dont ski and Bear so i guess i'm not allowed to talk here)

support KT!

nice pics dude! looks like some great weather while you were there!

ah, another mature response coming from the Bear Creek forum. should have expected that. so its either they close completely or they open for weekdays only. you pick. either way you are going to bitch about it. i would take option one since it at least give you the chance to get up there.

can't you just be greatful that they are staying open longer for you to hike whatever you want during the week? no, of course not. you have to bitch and moan about something that is there to benefit you and way beyond anything they are obligated to do for you.

the picture uploader on this site sucks. use photobucket or upload them to your facebook. both are super easy to use.

since i dont have class on friday, i'm debating going up there or just up to Blue. I'm still not sure....

that sucks. not really though. BRING BACK MY MARIOKART GAME!

pretty sure that has been posted previously, but it doesnt hurt to watch it again

let me know how that goes. hopefully its not beat.

well since people seem to like the photo reports, here is another: today i woke up and it was raining out so i didn't feel like going, but then i realized that the days left to ski at Blue were limited so i got my ass out of bed and got ready to go. on the way there it stopped raining and then as i was sitting in traffic i thought it started to snow. it didnt actually snow though... there was a truck in front of me that was dropping huge pieces of styrofoam all over and it was breaking apart which made it look like snow. stupid asshole. so i got to Blue around 8:15 and there was nobody there again. definitely not as nice as yesterday, but at least it wasn't raining. still a decent amount of snow on everything. took my first few runs through Sidewinder and then over to Come Around. the jumps are still small. the lips on rails still arent good. i have lost hope. maybe things will be better for the weekend. that would be nice. i took some more runs down burma as well. i'm starting to like that trail even more. it was strange not seeing the Mainstreet or Burma lift running. i forgot tat they closed them the final week and fed everybody to the 6pack. at the end of my session i took a run down Mainstreet and then over to Paradise to finish off a few runs. both were really nice with soft granular snow. pretty much untouched. for those of you who are curious and haven't been to Blue this year, here is the bottom of the new trail which feeds out right at the last straight part on Paradise. it looks like it should be a pretty fun trail. that pretty much sums up my 2 hour morning session. it was decent today. tomorrow i wont be there because its going to be raining and warm. damn. at leat i know they will make it through that with all the snow that they have there. anyone else going up today? if so, have fun in the sugar. haha oh, ps- this is what they do with the cardboard box derby entries instead of recycling them: gotta love Blue!

ah fuck it, i'm going up for two hours. there are only a few days left and i cant waste them sitting around here.
