@DiMe back before the most recent climate change that truly turned this area into MASH mid Atlantic ski hell, Blue would typically close the very end of March or sometimes squeak into early April and typical close with wall to walk coverage on all their runs. Granted, they had much less runs back then to cover but also not as good snowmaking. In 1992 Hunter mountain stayed open until May 5th… This year I truly think they’ll close down due to lack of snow and not lack of crowds…Dime you should try and do a summer trip somewhere. I get it…you’re still sort of in the honeymoon phase as you didn’t ride for a decade and we are all just old jaded..sometimes positive and not hating differences make us all unique. Id much rather have a customer like you than JFDan, you’d be way easier to extract more money out of with the bullshit I spew lol Are you gonna be at Blue tomorrow AM? Could be really nice!!!

3/17 is pond skimming…

Do you really think that’s gonna happen or are you wishcasting? This next week is gonna wipe them out. I’m not being negative I’m being a realist. I am stoked they’ll be open during the week this next week.

The nice thing about Shawnee is you can avoid all of us lol

Where are these snowmaking temperatures? If they have an hour two of 30 degree temperature, it will just make conditions worse.

Are they gonna do the cardboard box derby up in Vermont lol

Hey All, I got confirmation from PASRs own grillmaster that Sunday 3/17 will be our end of season party. Bring beer, champagne, cups, OJ, snacks and breakfast food and things to grill if you’d like. Pond skimming is also that day as well. That will probably be closing day unless some miracle occurs from Mother Nature. JADIP

Hey All, I’m back from another session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 715am and it was 39 degrees under overcast skys with moderate winds. Despite the ambient temperature, it felt much cooler. In the house was everybody except Tarpenhead, Bethlehem Ford Guy, PARidge, Zonked, Toast, MBike and Nastar Glenn. I began on the quad and second civilian chair. First run was nightmare to dreamweaver, while the snow was decent the features get in the way, was smooth cord, semi firm. Next run I skied lazy to the falls which was nice and smooth and empty. After the falls is pretty narrow and also Skytop is a bit tricky because they moved some of that snow onto upset paradise. I skied lazy again then Come Around to the falls to lower Main Street all decent some light chop on lower main. I didn’t make it to coming soon but I heard it wasn’t that good. I skied Challenge several times and it was fun. It began as big soft bumps at the narrow entrance, then smaller bumps and the. Another semi narrow area in the middle. Widowmaker also had decent snow and a few bare areas. Midway which I did not ski is about half width. Paradise was also pretty nice with minimal chop early and I skied lazy again later and still decent. While I was skiing from 8-10am there were only a few sprinkles, the rain started picking up more steadily around 1030 but luckily Enjorales brought his tent so we avoided getting wet while having parking lot chips and beer. I peaced out just after Noon when PASRs most dedicated rider, TP4 was just finishing up. JADIP and no pictures because I left my phone at the hotel house…

Wow just wow I take an extra 20 seconds he’s like WTF lol..

Looks Grate Barb..bring up that pot hole at the next city council meeting lol..I heard you saw Atomic Jeff in Aspen…

You may be right…I may be crazy…I think they make it to 3/17….and closing day we’re all gonna be covered in mud.

I wanted to take the spicer line on the far right and ran out of snow and was already committed. By the time I was back on the snow you and JLAW were already merging into lower Paradise which was wall to wall Chris Christie’s..rest of my runs were pretty empty…I give Airhead props…he motors through the chop..and I saw him bunny hop a bare spot like nothing..

Nice report and I don’t even have to ask how Floyd’s was!!!

Last year Main Street was better..I will say home stretch has a lot of base..In seasons past a early March warmspell would decimate HS and barbs way can always get a little hairy near the crux

When I go on a ski trip, first of all I’m happy to be away from work, I’m happy to be skiing many days in a row and conveniently staying pretty close to the slopes…I’m happy to eat at all kinds of different restaurants..I’m happy to be skiing big mountain terrain……if there’s powder great…but it’s never really expected…the weather changes..last year in Jh, atomic Jeff didn’t even bring his fattest skis cause it wasn’t supposed to snow much and it snowed three and a half feet in like 36 hours. Also try to get a day in at powder mountain..

That solves the mystery of me not seeing your car in the lot when I left. @theprogram4 wants to know what you had for lunch at slopeside? I got Chic Fil A on my way back into work..

Good timing for your Utah trip although you’re gonna miss the season passholder party. I actually RSVP’d just in case I feel like attending.

Everyday next week looks like nice weather in terms of sunshine. High of 64 Wednesday and high of 67 on Thursday for Allentown. Sheesh.

It looks like Blue is gonna be open next week during the week but only until 4pm… edit: night skiing on Friday, closing at 4pm Monday to Thursday.

Did limes get long at all?

See Dime you have power, they stopped on a Dime with their plans because of you.

They always have pond skimming and typically don’t announce it this early.

That’s a heck of a drive for inferior skiing..if you go post a report.

Wahahaha

Hey All, I’m back from a fun morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower low at 830am and it was 36 degrees in the valley and in the low 40s up high with some lingering low fog. In the house were Johnny Law, Harold, C1er, Airhead, Mixilplix and many others. Fourth civilian quad and there was quite the line up at the opening Bell, probably 75-100 people already. First run in Paradise because it’s nice having that empty and it was pretty smooth with some large bare spots. Next run Coming soon which was super rough ungroomed solid and I skid into a bare area but didn’t fall. My favorite run today was lower Widowmaker which was half width to chute to lower Main Street. Chute was nice corn and lower main was choppy but soft. Challenge was alright pretty thick but it will be a mogul field soon. I didn’t ski razors, it looked fisrmish and not super smooth. Upper Main Street, switchback and Razorback are closed along with Sidewinder. I skied lazy mike once and it was smooth enough..With only the quad running, there was 1-3 minute liftline after a few runs and when I left at 1030 there was almost a full corral. Let’s hope they have more than one lift open tomorrow. All in all Blue lost a lot of snow but the conditions were better than expected, not as nice as sundays spring snow but pretty good.
