@Benm your best chance of fresh is prob being a rider of the storm Saturday night.

Id rather the cookies get skied off on Saturday.

Are all y’all getting hyped.

Wow that’s a heck of a pack…and radical.

And Shoutout to Jimmy…I chatted with him for a few minutes in the lot this AM and he gave me two cookies. And they were the first two out of the package…I still liked the gingerbread man cookie I had in the lot the other day better even though it was missing a leg.

Backseat skiing is not good in dense Pow..sierra cement..you want to be centered and balanced..wider stance.power through. You can’t power through in the backseat..straightline you can do at blue..if it’s somewhere steep you’re gonna crash and burn.

Blue was on the news. That’s my boy Blue!!! https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/poconos-coal/forecast-for-snow-welcome-news-for-local-ski-resorts-businesses-that-cater-to-them/article_990dfa7e-ab49-11ee-b820-0bc4d76294c6.html?fbclid=IwAR007RA0SxykKtBHioRj_peAUqs4zRXcGGdeIygW3Q37MwJw_6fl-e-9QMQ

Was your first big pow day @Blue where we poached coming soon then it opened 10 minutes later? Amazing to think that run was open for weeks on all natural snow cause it kept snowing in 2021. That was top 3 pow day @Blue…best one was where it dumped all day and Toast did the chest mount video and everything was in play..and that’s back before they fucked up the marquee route with mountain bike paths. Under the OG six pack on a pow day was incredible..not officially poaching cause no ropes ducked…..and various entrances woo let’s hope for a humdinger of a storm..

Fingers crossed…I’ve seen so so so many storms with this exact same setup and start as snow on the front end but then in literal minutes, the snow changes over to sleet from quakertown to Allentown to Blue…funny often camelback and JF/BB stays above the mixed precip. I might not sleep much Saturday night. I like watching storms happen. @Airhead might not be a bad idea to be a rider of the storm Saturday night. Years ago I skied the morning at blue on a Saturday went home and then went back for night skiing in a storm then came back again Sunday AM for the fresh cord.

Bo from WFMZ was at Blue today..nice sweater. The last time I saw him at Blue was opening day 2020-21 season outside the top lodge and as I walk by him I loudly said,”Bo is ok but John Craven is the best”. Craven is my homey from karaoke and reporter and he moved on to Connecticut.

The XCBC people are gonna be pumped. Get it fast..heavy rain on Tuesday… @saltyant that should help replenish the snowmaking ponds.

How was upper Paradise? I didn’t even know paradise was open until near the top of the first quad ride…seemed like the most popular run earlier.

Warnings don’t happen until sooner and 5-8” barely meets the warning criteria for the poconos so might end up being a winter weather advisory.

I winter storm watch has been issued for the poconos for the potential of 5-8” of snow. The latest forecast for the Lehigh valley shows rain mixing in keeping the totals down to an inch or two.

@saltyant the snowmaking cannons are blasting!!!

Have fun and remember to post a report. Hopefully they get a lot of snow

Hey All, It’s almost another weekend…is anybody planning on skiing Blue mountain the true mountain? Saturday looks seasonably cold and cloudy and there could be some new snow Saturday night which could make things nice Sunday AM and based on the timing the roads could already be plowed and clear for the drive. JAWIP

I didn’t even pay attention.

Hey All, I’m back from another morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 830am and it was 36 degrees under cloudy sky’s. In the house were Atomic Jeff, TP4 and the Bethlehem ford crew. First took the super summit safari six pack to easy out vista midway to lower main and the snow was pretty nice and smooth with a some mini cookies on lower Main Street. Repeated that two more times then took the quad to coming soon which was similar smooth and mini cookies but pretty pleasant. Lower Paradise is still pretty thin and upper paradise is now open. Repeating coming soon two more times and then ended a quick 7 run session on midway to lower Main Street. They might get upper Main Street open for the weekend and definitely lazy will be back as tonight will be very good snowmaking conditions. Plus the 3-6” of snow we get overnight Saturday will make for some nice packed powder once the groomers do their thing. JADIP

Pow Pow

I can barely take any of the credit or maybe I’m just humble in the new year but I give props to Indiggio and RidgeRacer..and Root and others who took the time to help make a difference and go Blue for listening to their customers. Whoever is answering the questions on their social media is sharp. When @RajeevGuptaSucheeta visits he’ll get all the answers he needs there.

Root post this on Facebook. Remember we have power…and don’t have to be a Karen to get things done. You’re my boy Blue!!!

Tomorrow night is gonna be really good snowmaking conditions.

Depends if the blower is in Malvern on the Poke N Hoes. If in Malvern I approve and in the poconos I don’t.

They might not be able to blow snow tonight but Thursday and Friday nights look very favorable for decent production. Blue was saying lazy and paradise back for the weekend.
