Hey All, I’m back from another fun session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830 and it was sunny with a temperature of 27 degrees with moderate winds. In the house were Atomic Jeff, C1er and the Bethlehem ford crew. I started on the quad which began about a minute late and had about a five minute stoppage halfway up the first ride. First run I skied Challenge and it was a carpet. Any thought of wet snow refreezing and becoming firm was out the window. It was true packed powder. Second run on Main street very nice similar conditions but a little slow. Nightmare to dreamweaver was super good, better than challenge. Liftlines of a few minutes formed real fast on the quad which a shorter wait for the super summit safari six pack. The OG six was not running. I skied my first razors of the year and super good a few iffy grooming spots with a hole on the far lower skiers left. I skied razors three times and skied another Main Street which had a few slick spots exposed. All in all a fun session but with lifetimes and a few other lift stoppages was a super slow pace with 7 runs in 76 minutes. I might be back Friday AM if not then ski everybody Saturday. I’ve been watching ticket sales and Saturday could be a sellout.

Upper sidewinder is open.

Chili looks grate…over under $16. I’d take a lot of crackers.

I think Tussey is a wussy name for a ski mountain and tushy is like an old lady way of saying butt..just say rear, behind, badonkadonk or damn like normal people.

Salty don’t be a stoke stomper

Keep Us updated, I remember when you talked about getting like $60 A day to buy food on the road and free breakfast at hotel, cheap lunch you have enough left for a legit supper like a hoagie from Walmart plus other snacks.

What in the blasphemy cheese and dookie is this…That’s their lift with the big vert on the east side with views all the way to jersey on a clear day…unbelievable

Nice @saltyant nice to know you’re back on the road. You’re a Hampton inn guy right?

Maybe @Ski2Live Live2Ski will be out to ski the glades. Gonna be a weekend to remember. I’ll show you a few cool super secret stashes if you don’t go blabbing to the brahs on Teton gravity about them.

Tomorrow is gonna be really nice. Gotta enjoy winter when it’s here.

Nice real time updates JFDan!!! My FOMO is starting to kick in. Definitely a day for the fat skis

The melting here is extreme right now..melting from above and below since the ground isn’t frozen and the sun is so strong

Always remembered never forgotten…RIP @Papasteeze I thought I found his obituary but a different one with same name.

I didn’t go to Blue today, I saw that it was an hour and 18 minutes to Blue and the route I take had an accident so I bailed but will go up tomorrow AM for the frozen cord. About a foot of snow on the west side of Allentown. Took me like 15 minutes to clear off my car. I went to CVS to buy a few things but it was closed and the lot was unplowed and I almost got stuck…then went to Wawa..roads are pretty bad, a lot of snow is gonna melt this afternoon and the refreeze overnight will be epic as there’s so much water content in the snow, gonna be like a brick tomorrow am.

Correct this place went to shit once ThinkSnow Greg quit skiing and Papasteeze died

@Ride Delaware ? the Allentown school district is already closed tomorrow. Might snow..ski you tomorrow.

Wrong thread for this…anyway if Zonked doesn’t want to use my buddy pass, you can use mine.

It’s dynamite!!!

That’s tele matt, he’s innovative.

Depends if you like fresh snow or fresh cord…I don’t have any morning appointments either day. Actually nothing until 1pm Wednesday. Business is dead.

If Blue had a hotel, I could stay there tonight and still miss first chair cause my gate won’t open or the lifts have ice on the cables lol.. This storm could be a humdinger. I feel like Jim Cantore might be heading to Allentown and maybe the poconos because I saw thunder snow in the forecast. That’s beat the band 3”+ an hour rates..also has high bust potential but a bust for this prob be 2-4” which is what we thought all along.

I’m looking at the temperatures and the timing and this is gonna be some wet freaking snow..I’m not hating snow is snow and this will be good for the base if it happens. Coldest temperature I see is 27 at mount pocono very early tomorrow AM won’t get much or at all below freezing in the Lehigh valley probably around 29-31 at Blue…so a temperature adjustment of a degree or two in either direction could mean more rain or barely accumulating Snain and snow. The forecast I trust the most has an inch to a few inches falling by morning and 5-10 inches during the morning to early afternoon from south to north. As of now the dewpoints are really bad…there will be hours of Virga but this could be a thumper…short duration heavy precipitation..

I was laughing inside when he said a couple hours.

Tomorrow morning and Wednesday morning will be the best.
