Schif

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

Burton makes some great stuff. I'm still riding on an 8 year old Burton. I've since gotten non burton boards, but this old girl is still kicking the few times a year i pull her out. On the same token, the worst pair of bindings I've ever owned were Burton's. Lets not worry what each other is sliding down the hill on. As long as we all start at the top and get to the bottom we should all be friends

I would love to know why those people even stopped. If a guy (who is not even in his skis by the way) whistles at you, you speed up!

You obviously didn't watch "Ski Patrol" last night. Those guys have one of the toughest and most dangerous jobs in the country and we should all be proud of them.

HAHAHAHAH once a week sharpening? Is there any steel left on that thing?

I don't know, maybe I"m the only one and if I am I'll shut up, but it just seems absolutely ridiculous that you could have spent that much time on the snow and HAVE NEVER PROGRESSED as a rider.

For as much as it showed the power trip FGT, its going to make it worse when these guys think they are celebrities during this upcoming season. Doug, you should get an autograph book and try to fill it by the end of the year haha
