They’re replacing the superstar chair and focusing their late spring skiing in the canyon. Kyle have you skied since you moved to Virginia? -

Oh shit I hate that they’re sort of keeping us in limbo. I figure tomorrow they’ll make some sort of announcement. -

JLaw you’re a real one..you’re part of the glue that bonds together our row at Blue and PASR and you show up mad early most days and can relate or at least listen to my Doug Lyfe problems..if you wind up with a statue or bronze plaque or some additional Mountain Dew code red or some steezy iced tea from Whole Foods or Fresh Market, it’s cause the stoke marketing is rising. Always a pleasure skiing with JLaw..and even on the days I miss, C1er often takes shots of him skiing from the lift.. -

Echo what BenM said, they lost way less snow in the last 24 hours then expected. -

Some serious rain in Allentown…Salty would say that’s good for the snowmaking ponds. I might have to hitch a ride with Ski2Live up to Hunter. -

Sweet report..I have to checkout some of these places..the area you visited is sort of a Bermuda Triangle of places I haven’t been. What kind of rental car do you have? Coeur d’Alene I used to hear about a lot when I lived in Bozeman and a guy I went to college with took a job in Hamilton Montana and Lookout was his local. Gonna look a map of that area. -

Oh Lordy, I was wondering why you parked at the top. -
Over 300 people skimmed across the pond.

Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. Today might even be closing day. I arrived at the lower lot at 7:23am and it was cloudy with the temperature in the mid 40s. In the house was a smallish crew. Familiar faces like Atomic Jeff, JFDan, Dirtwolf, PARidge, BenM, Enjorales, TP4, Johnny Law, Bethlehem Ford crew and Indiggio. I started on the super summit safari six pack and first skied lazy mile which was pretty nice and smooth..The falls was glacial ice. Paradise wasn’t as smooth as Lazy but not that bad just a lot of solid. Coming soon was nice and skied that twice it was spring conditions. Challenge was pretty solid and a huge bare area on the right side of the second headwall. Razors had good and bad areas. I took one run down Burma road and it’s still holding on just barely..the last stretch had about an inch and a half of base and as Toast says it’s all about the base. I repeated lazy mile and ended with a Paraweaver run. Fun parking lot I had a couple beers and enjorales made breakfast sandos, Pork loin, short rib, flatbreads, creme brûlée and sausages. Now I’m at work trying to do a few things before I do THC experiments on myself. JADIP

Salty were you up to anything fun today?

Down to 79 here…

It was 75 degrees when I left Blue and peaked at 80 degrees on route 22 but that’s always a couple degrees more. 81 currently in the A and 72 at Mount Pocono…gotta be 77-78 on the hill I wish a PASR who lived close could put in a dern werther stertion I’d even throw down a $35 bill Its definitely not high of 36 low of 26 like it says on Blues website. That was close a few times..kind of like how a broken clock is right twice a day

@saltyant and @MattEDGE are you watching pond skimming on the webcam with your dicks out for Harambe???

Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 720am and it was in the mid 40s with a little lingering valley fog below partly sunny sky’s. In the house was everybody by NMSki, VTMark, Phillycore, PSUFrank, Toast, Root, Zonked, Nancy, Barb and Sibhusky. Started out on the quad and skied Challenge first which was pretty bad..super uneven solid ish snow and divots everywhere. Paradise was better and getting thin..down to the base snow so pretty fast. Lazy mile was pleasent as was upper Main Street..lower a little choppy but not as choppy as yesterday AM. Crowds seemed worse than yesterday AM. After about an hour and fifteen minutes we went into the lot for a beer and chips then went back out around 10am and I skied Razors which was getting nice and corny..I didn’t ski the bumps as I didn’t want to re-aggravate my knee but apparently they were good. They looked tight to me. I also skied Paraweaver and Dreamweaver was thick but well covered..I skied a vista to Burma and left side of vista like a four foot base and right side below the pond skim a four inch base. Burma was holding on, I like skiing it when empty. I finished off with another razors and back to the lot around 11am…no more beer and peaced out shortly thereafter with a stop at chic fil A on the way back. Ski most of y’all tomorrow. JADIP

Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?
GrilledSteezeSandwich replied to Ride Delaware ?'s topic in General Chat
@saltyant it’s raining that’s gotta be good for the snowmaking ponds. -
At sugarbush I was stuck on the lift for like an hour and a half on a warm day and they gave me a coupon for a free hot chocolate and I had to sweet talk my way into a soft drink instead. A couple times I received vouchers for future days due to weather issues like wind holds and what not even if I skied a few runs already.

Coverage is fine. Sidewinder and switchback obviously closed. They moved around a lot of snow. The glades skiable with a shovel and some imagination. I haven’t checked the webcams but the big melt is happening now so we’re lucky they’re open for us to ski this weekend You can see by my pictures it’s been alot worse. We kind of want to hope for overnight lows to be chillier than forecast it’s just cloud cover and maybe some rain will prevent that so it’s prob gonna get 80 degrees or more some spots tomorrow then gotta hope it gets cooler than forecast next night. At least in here watching the snow melt and not in Jackson hole watching the snow melt.

Adding to this because I was short on time earlier when I post report…today was like the revenge of the non early birds and people who began on the Main Street chair. While maybe ten chairs worth sat on the challenge express which is older than a lot of the girls I talk to..I’m not even capping here that lift is 31 years old but it provides access to some great runs if the OG six isn’t running. At least the best runs within 16 minutes if the Whitehall Sheetz The 50 minutes we were stuck in the lift the late arrivals along with a beautiful empty paradise with corny corn corn corn. Main Street express safari spring six was spinning and full capacity no lines or anything but those runs were busy and the narrow area on Main Street will provide fun spectating tomorrow from the lift. People were out of control in the chop. Robert2 would have hated the conditions. So glad I got that challenge run at the end..the first 13 seconds before 6-7 goobers were stacked up in the middle better than a SUJOPO

Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830am and it was in the low 40s at the base and upper 40s up high, mad inversion Yo..what what if Que Que for the Spanish speaking snow sports enthusiasts. In the house were Bethlehem ford crew minus Bethlehem ford guy, Johnny Law, NMSki and Atomic Jeff. Third civilian quad and it stopped and sat idle for about 50 minutes near the bottom of paradise. We thought we were gonna have to be roped off. Finally at the top at 857am and wow were my legs stiff from sitting so long. Paradise was nice smooth spring snow..and then to the super summit safari six pack. Sheesh there was a mini liftline and Main Street and lazy mile were busy with people. I skied Widowmaker which was ok to chute which was thick not very good spring snow and lower Main Street not that good and narrow. Lazy mile was decent spring snow, the falls is getting lots of carnage as lower sidewinder closed is sending the herbs onto the falls. I skied a top to bottom Main Street and the top had a lot of hero snow then back into the fuckery of lower Main Street. Another lazy mile and then the OG six opened so I hoped on that and got a very smooth hero snow run on challenge. I would have stayed for a few more but had to peace out as I was already about a half hour behind schedule. I’m glad 2 out of three of the lifts worked today, just a shame lift roulette failed today. JADIP Ski most of you this weekend.

Do you have grandkids? Also @saltyant isn’t getting the peak to peak pass next season for camelback and Blue so he can’t hook you up with a buddy pass if you visit camelback for old times sake. Also has ski999 visited you? I stopped talking to him once he started talking about double teaming chicks with another guy..if I wanna see an Eiffel Tower I’ll go to Paris and there is a Paris Idaho so on topic
