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..

Good: 100" base Bad: essentially no new snow the week we were out there. Ugly: snowed 40" in the last five days...

This!!!

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.

Well at least blast it from your iPhone in the liftline lol. What lift are you starting out on??

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.

No rocking out to U2??? Snoop dogg is good I could see JFBB Dan crip hopping...

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

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.

That's worthy of shutting my office down. Wouldn't want an elderly customer to slip and fall on their Herman.

Nice do you have off work today??

Wasn't cheesy they needed to expand into the valley for a parking lot, lodge and tubing. Tubing opened in 96 FYI and that's the first and only time I went tubing. Huh

Yup for a four hour ticket. If you wanted to stay all day could probably buy two 4 hour tickets and get 8 hours for $28

I hate carpooling Maybe they're swingers woooo 2006-07 season on the six. Quad was 94-95 And the challenge chair used to start at the end of shuttle and bottom of falls...but was extended to the valley for the 1992-93 season to boost the vertical drop from 923 feet to 1052..then it became 1082 with the quad.

Don't think I've had a coors light in at least a few years. I've bought a total of two drinks at Blue mountain ever. A Jack and Coke during pond skimming 2006 and a double Jack and Coke at slopeside opening day 2015

My Montana friends divorce cost him half a million...luckily he was able to transfer his house to his mom so he didn't lose that which is worth $350,000. Crazy. Speaking of $200,000 my former delivery guy and his wife lost well over $200,000 investing in a catering business with another couple which ultimately failed. Almost as bad as when I lost $3,000 buying shares of Starter back in the mid 90s you know like starter jackets and hats...that was like a years salary delivering newspapers. You're just paying for convenience. I pay $20 to park slopeside at copper to avoid taking a bus from the lot that's out in Kansas. $14 for a mixed drink is a lot. Those are Washington DC prices.

You're smart for not getting married again. Once bitten twice shy. My friend who got divorced lost half her 401k cause her husband didn't have a retirement account and she contributed into it for 15 years. Sucks. There are bars around here with dollar tacos on Tuesdays. $2 pitchers is really cheap after the $16 ones in JH

Ohio and West Virginia but maybe snow Thursday morning!!!

Starting when I was in 11th grade 1995-96 ski season I wore an Avocet watch that kept track of vert skied and runs based on Barometric pressure. It was pretty accurate within 5% perhaps. That season I skied about 2 million vertical feet in 48 days and the following 2.6 million in 66 seasons. Back in those days three were rarely lines for the quad( the six pack was a double) and a normal weekend day for me was 730-5 with a lunch break...Indiggio types of days. In college I stopped tracking vert then did again about 11 years ago for two seasons. Anyway figures for the six pack are if you are only skiing razors and challenge fast and lift doesn't stop 8 runs an hour..a variety of runs and skiing onto lift every run 7 runs an hour. Normal uncrowded skiing 6 runs an hour. Second hour on a weekend or weekday afternoon with some short lines figure five runs an hour.

Yeah cause it was strictly about getting fucked up. Now I just like a solid buzz.

There's no way it won't be good...it's either gonna be sunny or snowing. how many days are you skiing in Utah MamaSkeez?

Where are you guys staying??
