  1. I've never seen a 4:1 ratio. My next appointment is 9am Friday. Business is dead.
  2. Did you guys need chains??? Where's supper??
  3. Triple black sounds like shoshanna laquisha and Monique wooo
  4. Winter storm watch is issued for the potential of 6"+. Some models are showing more like 10-12". Good timing for a rider of the storm session Thursday morning.
  5. Let's see if it actually snows first.
  6. I hope this isn't wishcasting. Time to checkout the accuwearher forums.
  7. Ask everybody if they have change for a nickle.
  8. I've never been in the village after like 430 so no idea what it's like but most who stay on mountain drive or cab it to town each night.
  9. Smuggs sells one ride tickets??
  10. You guys ski the cirque at all?? That looks pretty cool.
  11. No uber in JH yet can either take free bus to mountain or $3 town bus or taxi. Being in town is the best then you can walk to all the bars and restaurants.
  12. We've really lucked out this season with a lot of snowmaking Windows.
  13. Are you staying at the 49er again with Fred???
  14. Is boomer really 600 vert? Thought there was both a top and bottom runout. Homestretch is never a chore getting down and I only wax my skis a few times a season. Maybe if you ski over to homestretch from Main Street or switchback but the savvy blue people take lower park or Central Park down to the six pack from that side of the hill. FYI the bump competition is March 18 on razors edge.
  15. You must be good if the bumps were a breeze for you. Is there any challenging terrain in PA? Maybe the elevator for a few turns...I just enjoy going fast down switchback and Main Street and razors and challenge and nightmare to Dreamweaver and cruising down lazy and paradise. I don't go to blue to be challenged. What's challenging about blue is the variety of snow conditions...you're very difficult. Quoted for truth. Jackson hole has a runout as well...so does camelback and Jack Frost and nearly every ski area...you want flat ground to build all the base amenities. I've never heard of someone hate on homestretch before..
  16. Good: 100" base Bad: essentially no new snow the week we were out there. Ugly: snowed 40" in the last five days...
  17. Runouts are good. There are lifts at Jackson hole with no runout and you literally have to kill all your speed at the liftline. It's nice to coast out the end of the run..especially when there's a high speed lift to whisk you back up. When you park at the bottom it's an easy exit..parking is so close...and riding a lift before skiing is the norm except for Jack Frost and montage. I like to end my ski session with a full run, not a lift ride and a traverse. It's not really extra time to drive to the bottom lot...maybe a minute and a half and takes about that long to drive up the upper access road and find a parking spot. We aren't comparing blue to elk. If we wanna compare gapers Ski2Live is a level 3.
  18. Well at least blast it from your iPhone in the liftline lol. What lift are you starting out on??
  19. Blue is closing at 3pm today. A few customers gave us shit for being closed on Black Friday. Yes it's a big shopping day but didn't think of it as a day to buy tombstones.
  20. No rocking out to U2??? Snoop dogg is good I could see JFBB Dan crip hopping...
  21. Actually Palmerton is a popular stop for AT hikers as hikers are welcome to stay in the basement of the police station and care packages are given out with various edible jawns by the chamber of commerce. Rustic lol...do you change into your socks at the mountain...what I don't like about the bottom lodge is how warm it is. It's like a sauna going in there in ski clothes. I did a full walk thru in there Sunday when I got shadows his pass then walked up the ramp to the bathroom. I see there's also a ski shop down there as well on the east side of the cafeteria. There was no AT cabin down there. The AT is 1,000 feet and a mile up lol
  22. It was more like a trailer when the challenge lift was extended in 1992 and I remember port o John's down there and the lower lot continued to expand into the 2000s to include tickets, rentals and cafeteria. No bar down there until several years ago. Most of the 90s it was just the summit lodge. Was a normal speed fixed grip lift 450-500 feet per minute but was long at over 4,000 feet long and frequently stopped. Before blue put in the quad liftlines for the challenge double and Main Street and Burma lifts often exceeded 20 minutes. I remember once in 8th grade taking the raceway tbar cause all the lines were so long on a Friday night. Back then blue wasn't the top dog like it is now. Places like camelback, montage and Jack Frost had much more efficient lifts like triples and quads. Camelback put in their Stevenson express quad and cliffhanger and Nile mile the same year that blue put in their quad 1994... Paradise opened at blue in 1996 and back then there was no razors edge but the top razors headwall was cut so you could ski that and then finish up on challenge.
  23. That's worthy of shutting my office down. Wouldn't want an elderly customer to slip and fall on their Herman.
