Except I really enjoy grandma got Runover by a reindeer and Feliz Navidad. I think Feliz Navidad was in my gym class at Allen high school. -
Glad you are in good spirits...that's important!!

Nice report...the run under the Bravo chair is called bird land and is a fun run to Hollywood in intermediate moguls for the people above. Cool that you got to ski both mountains but a shame that Castlerock and lower FIS At mount Ellen were closed. Way to get after it!!!

Hey all, I'm back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the top lot at 650pm and it was in the mid 20s under dark sky's. Atomic Jeff arrived a few minutes later and on the snow around 7. Conditions were a little icier than yesterday especially on lazy 1.6 kilometers. Also a little more sugar on Main Street and the same dark spots. The bumps on Barneys looked deep and firm but I didn't get after them as I like spring and pow pow bumps. I think GSSucks was there but didn't see him. TheDude4Bides was in the house and a few dozen ski patrollers and maybe 50 other people in total. After maybe 8-9 runs and an hour and a half we had our Phil like Collins and had a few Hop Ranches in the lodge and the dude showed me a video skiing pow at winter park which was good for stoke. By the time I left at 930 it was down to about 20 degrees and felt as cold as last night. There was a cat in the lot that I felt bad for I wish I had some food to give it and yesterday we saw a fox in the lot. There was also an older gentleman who chatted with us because he saw atomic jeffs Jackson hole hat. A safety hazard is that with the new parking lot setup at the top people are going the wrong way in the second row which could cause a catastrophe. I almost wrote a demerit to someone but my pen was frozen. Tomorrow I'm not skiing gonna run a shit ton of errands and do Xmas shopping and practice for karaoke but will be out Thursday night to enjoy the lower lot and the poconos coldest six pack. Only on PASR would four times out in the first week feel like slacking but a lot of people are really getting after it including Toast and TheDude!!! Again hats off to the snowmakers. The piles are massive and the amount of open terrain will more than double by the weekend.

We miss you Phillycore. Are you off work the day after Xmas? I haven't tubed since 1997 so I'm rusty. If anybody wants to give me some pointers I'm open to suggestions and advice. The Fonz from Happy Days aka Henry Winkler aka Arthur Fonzarelli is Blue mountains official tubing spokesperson and is very blunt with his advice. -
Way to get after it...a shame I'm 2,000 miles away or I'd try and crash the women's clinic

Hey all, I'm back from a fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the upper lot at around 6:50pm and it was 20 degrees with almost no wind. Atomic Jeff and JLaw pulled in a few minutes later and GSSucks was already there. Not many people at all maybe 75-100 cars in total. Unfortunately my night skiing goggles that Atomic Jeff gifted me a few years ago are scratched to shit so I used my bright light goggles so things were a little dark initially but I adjusted. Snow was generally smooth hard packed..not much sugar and just a few areas of boilerplate mainly on lazy mile especially the last sharp turn. Main Street was nice at the top and bottom and middle had some mini cookies. There were also a couple lights out which made things a little rowdy the first few runs but once I realized there were no pits infested with alligators it was all good. After about ten runs or two hours we hit the upper lot and I had two dirt wolfs until about 955pm and made it home about ten minutes faster than the drive to the mountain. Didn't stop at sheetz or Burger King or White Castle or Popeyes chicken as I passed through the fast food oasis which is Whitehall. I'll be back tomorrow night same time same place. Boots were feeling great..pass worked so all In all it was just another day in paradise. Snowmaking was taking place on the Chute, valley area and I believe Paradise. The consensus is maybe the six pack and valley by around Thursday. Ski you later.

Just got to blue 21 degrees. Atomic Jeff should be here in a minute. -
Keep your hands forward. That's something I learned and still have to work on it. For the first 15 years I skied I never thought about my hands.
