Absolutely agreed.

Just checked the website and it was actually updated. they're blowing on all of the greens except easy street, and then they are blowing on cannonball, smoke, boomer and lightning. Boulder might be the first to open, but Montage will have the first diamonds up and running this year!

Open for Wednesday?!?! Major stoke, hopefully I'll get to hit up the best mountain within 9 minutes of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport while I'm home on break!

Its coming down pretty steadily and accumulating here in State College. I had to sweep off the walkway in front of the house for the first time all year on my way out to class this morning. No doubt its already covered up again though.

Hmm, I've always wanted to hit up the Knob. Maybe I'll get a chance between Thanksgiving and Christmas when Tussey isn't open.

Kind of weird that they are putting their firepower on the Northface, Its usually main street and a blue for the beginning. Not that i"m complaining or anything. I'd love to bomb down cannonball on day 1.

I like to look for a minimum of 10K.

Thats what I'm doing this weekend.

Don't they usually open with birches to meadows? neither one is getting snowmaking tonight

As long as they are getting close. I won't be around for any of the madness this weekend anyway so if Sno waits a week its fine by me. More base and more trails for when they finally do open.

Now that is what I like to hear!

Anyone seen anything at Sno? Lights on? Guns firing? Moose on the Loose? Anything?!?!?

Shawnee might be a viable option for early season. If they are open the weekend after Thanksgiving, it might be worth it to go there as opposed to other places that will be mobbed.

I hope they are still open midweek this week, I'm going to stick around here for the last home game and then come home sunday

The official drink of PASR...... I'm up for the first annual PASR drink your face off fest, but only if its right after some slope time

Awesome! Hey Melissa, did you notice if the lights were on at Sno?

So apparently all the trails changed names? Switchback is now Burma Road. We're all going to be pretty confused this upcoming year.

I won that thing within 15 minutes of entering last year. Never took advantage though

It is

The part at the end where he was essentially mocking all us east coast skiers and riders and to me it seemed like he thought he was just too good for us over here.

If that quote above was written by Ryan Neptune he is a very unprofessional dick. I can't imagine that anyone working in even a semi professional environment could get away with that kind of thing for very long.

I don't know if I would get boots online. I"ve got bindings and boards from the internet, but a boot is something that you really can't tell until its on your foot exactly how its going to fit. Go and try them on at a store and get them there.

Just my 2 hundredths of a dollar but I've got a pair of K2s now with one of those convertible cap straps and I absolutely swear by them now. I feel funny notice a major difference now when I have the strap up in its normal position.

Fall on your forearms. It took me a little while to get the concept down, but if you make falling onto your forearms second nature rather than falling onto your wrists, you don't need any kind of wristguards.

Eh, you have to look at it this way. We all know that until there is a PROLONGED cold snap no one is going to make snow. While it may be a bit of a treat to get a rail jam or something like that, right now i.e. this week and next week are not realistic skiing weeks in Pennsylvania. I know for a fact that Tussey will not open any time before next semester and I enjoyed today by going for a nice hike in shorts. Its going to get skiing cold soon enough, being in the 40s or high 30s isn't helping anything so it might as well be 70
