Upper bucks county is more expensive for the national average and $1,000 a month would be an affordable price for an individual or couple making over $3,000 a month. The average apartment in Allentown is actually 850' month and the range is like 600-1500+ It's why many people live with their parents longer or live with roommates since pay hasn't gone up much for a lot of people but the cost of living has. The last two places I've lived have had ample off street parking. Water and garbage included and where I live now has free heat which dramatically cuts down my electric bill which is only about $30 a month when I'm not using AC. I'm not very handy aside from a little do it yourself plumbing. If I had a house would hire a grasscutter, need to find a handy man for maintenance and host Tupperware parties. My dream is to live in a hotel. I'm getting closer to that dream. I actually checked out what the weekly rate is for the Howard Johnson across the street from dorney park and it's like $350-400 a week. Seems like a lot but then I'd have no bills and wouldn't need furniture, no deposit, free breakfast, housekeeping and maybe even a free USA today. -
Forecast is saying a chance of showers or thunderstorms before 2pm and then likely after that. They'll lose some more base but all the runs still should be open on Sunday except the glades and the little run that connects home stretch and the lower park just closed down as its melted out in one spot. The snow will set up tomorrow night and be back to fast snow and sugar.

I don't think most people can afford the payments on a 15 year mortgage. My parents bought the house I grew up in dirt cheap in 1980 I believe and were making double payments when they could and paid it off fast. That's the benefit of buying something cheap much lower payments. If it's $920 a month for a $194k mortgage it would be under $500 a month for a $100k one so if you're doing well you could pay more. Well you live in a very expensive area. Modern apartments around here are mostly $1,000 plus a month. The bargains are in old places with no amenities. Plus the walls are often thicker so you can't hear your neighbors taking a dump. Didn't see you there. -

They had a big race on it. Well that's the interest and principal over 30 years how do you think banks stay in business. Unless you are going to flip your home within a few years I don't see it as an investment but a place to live. -

Well I do laundry and sometimes do a mediocre job cleaning. What was the interest rate? You have to also figure in taxes which will prob be at least $4k a year on a $200k house and insurance and a ton of utilities. 6k is only 3% down. I didn't know they gave home loans which such good terms anymore. -

I arrived at the base at 11:15AM pretty much did a few things I had to do at work and procrastinated most things till Monday. Had a hop ranch in the lower lot and atomic Jeff pulled in around 1130. It was sunny and 64 degrees although clouds dominated the sky for much of the session. First run hit up the corn on X-Ing following by the lower bumps which were the same size as yesterday but much faster. Lower Main Street was a creamed corn dream. So much better than the mad sweet and low sugar snow. Skied Barneys again then went over to nightmare Dreamweaver which had a narrow entrance due to the race happening on razors. For what it's worth the snow on razors for the race was smooth and fast thanks to all the chemicals on it. Amazing being able to hear people's skis in these temperatures. Nightmare to Dreamweaver was similar creamed corn and applesauce and me and atomic Jeff hit those bumps on Dreamweaver several times and they were good but the beginning is much flatter then the end so a few times I lost control and bailed oh well. Went to the lot and had a quick beer with atomic Jeff then went out for a few more. Skied lazy to the falls which was empty and not bad and another nightmare Dreamweaver. On the drive home my car hit 77 degrees in a few spots. Only 21 degrees colder than my favorite boy band. These 70+ degree late winter temperatures are the new normal but might as well enjoy it before we have 36 hours of winter Saturday night to Monday morning. Ski everybody tomorrow. -

Boarders and people on fat skis are having the most fun. Some of the Gary's were on bump skis and outside the bumps pretty tough in the apple sauce. -

I bet edge was loving the bumps. Yesterday bumps were better than today..just slightly like a 9 out of 10 vs a 7.5 out of 10. A full ten degrees warmer today than yesterday. Silly warm out. I'll post a report in a little bit. Wrapping things up. -
I'm heading to Blue now I worked enough today. Already almost 70 degrees.

What a shitshow. I might have to take a summer ski trip out there this year. Mammoth and squaw will both be open well into July. -
Wow just wow. Are you coming up to blue tomorrow morning? Possible snowmaking for a few hours Sunday night or early Monday morning.

Toast you skiing this afternoon?

2017 Closing Weekend Party - March 18th
GrilledSteezeSandwich replied to AtomicSkier's topic in Blue Mountain
You should try and leave work early today and get after some of the bumps this afternoon. -
I've done a three hopper to JH before when I missed my flight. Allentown to Chicago to Denver to JH. Once on the way home I did JH to Denver one day...then Denver to DC next day and DC to Newark third due to snowstorms and the way there was Newark to JH direct. I also once flew Philly to Chicago then Chicago to Jackson flight ended up in Denver and I drove the final 500+ miles to Jackson in a snowstorm and arrived at 5am instead of noon the day before. Travel can be rowdy.
