I did notice last season when I was on my Mantras that I was making a whole lot more turns and the same as when I used to ski on Atomic race skis...different slopes for different folks.

RideDE are you familiar with the traverse on the long trail from the top of heavens gate to the top of Castlerock...might be fucking sick

Those are similar to what nazarethSkierJay has I think his are the M88s. Kastles seem to be popular in Aspen and Jackson. I just looked up those Kastles. Last years model retail for $1179 and can be had for about $800. This years model $1249...in the words of my friend Katie...Oh Lordy

OK I know atomic Jeff likes his rockered mantras better than the non rockered ones he sold me.

Do you get to start early tomorrow since you are a patroller?? Radar looks awesome for sugarbush.

Yeah you were saying the other week you don't like Rockered skis. Why not?

Yeah but remember how cold this season started. They better pray for cold if they a be open over the holidays

Wow just wow and I just did my best VTMark laugh hahahaha They'll be open tomorrow it will be snowing at Blue tomorrow in the morning and at night but prolly only a few inches. Dress warm its gonna be super windy.

There's nothing to report.

Very nice...only 26 days later than Blue!!!! Not much good snowmaking weather between now and then.

The six pack is possible at Blue for this weekend. I don't think paradise though. And I imagine those 11 runs and 4 lifts would be in the middle of Jack Frost. Not east mountain.

Probably tomorrow morning for the changeover.

Jack Frost opens Friday. 11 trails and 4 lifts.

This video is pretty informative http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-video/accuweather-live-winter-storm/3931868183001?channel=top_story

I love this thread

You are a little far west TP4 in freehold NJ there already been 2" of rain...anyway this is a 48 hour storm be patient. Haven't seen you since opening day at Blue. Where've u been hiding?

It's a cold rain. Won't hurt the base much and will fill up bear creeks pond.

TP4...what updates it's raining...and sorry bro its not raining men so nothing to get excited about.

The temperature drops 3-5 degrees for every thousand feet of elevation gained so rowdowser your point is not valid and yes there are exceptions like inversions and such but elevation plays as much of a factor in an areas climate as distance from the equator and influence of the ocean. At 9pm it was 24 at mount Pocono and 29 in Scranton. That doesn't make sense. Scranton is farther north. Al Gore is full of shit and so is John Denver

Not necessarily this storm is incredibly long duration a solid 36-48 hours...don't be surprised with 6-10"+ totals for the poconos. I'd rather it start as rain and end as snow than vice versa...I also won't be surprised if its raining tomorrow night in the valley and snowing on the summit cam at Blue.. Also the Catskills and green mountains are gonna get dumped on... I believe this storm is named Damon and its gonna be a real Demon...buckle your seatbelts boys and girls looks like this ski season is gonna be a bumpy ride.

I'm hoping Wednesday morning at blue will be pretty nice.

Somebody PM sib or check epic ski

Scranton isn't the poconos...Scranton is a heat island just like the urban area of the Lehigh valley and is a valley location.

Romeo all I can say is it feels damn good to be a skier!!!

I'm not buying the 3 degree difference. Right now there's a 6 degree difference between the Allentown airport and mount pocono.
