Schif

I just ordered a new snowboard, I don't need 2 more.

I'll be back in the Poke n Hoes by then

Where are these things exactly? I"m out here at Penn State.

That sounds like a pretty sweet deal. I'll have to try to duck out of work early on Wednesdays and head up

So whats in the park? I know it got changed around, but the webcam doesn't work.

Thats great? Since when? Well have fun out there roundtop, and don't forget to post a trip report about the packed poe and the caesar salad.

^^ Its too bad he forgot about his boots, poles, and skis. :rofl

I think it works at Blue because of the shape of the mountain itself. Besides the base area and the access point at the upper lodge, the snow really isn't readily accessible. At any other mountain they would have to put up a huge amount of fencing and/or walls to keep people from just walking to the snow. It probably wouldn't be too cost effective, and it would look terrible.

Why not have the plastic card be the pass. When I was up at Killy, that seemed to be what the passholders had.

Eh, I've had khaki colored pants for a while now and they still look great. I wanted new ones at the end of last year because they looked dingy, but when I got them to start this year they looked brand new. The moral of the story, if you have a good mom, you can rock whatever color you want.

I don't see it on there

Pretty simple, Warm temp is for warm days, cold temp is for cold days, universal is for whenever. It will usually say on the packaging what temps the wax is good for. If you use cold wax when its 40 out, you're going to go slower. In the same regard if you use warm wax when its below zero it will again affect your speed.

I'm no crazy park rat, but I like hip jumps and stuff to stall on. They're things you don't see every day, but in my opinion are a lot of fun.

Just that "wintry mix" stuff here. Its mostly freezing rain I guess but I haven't been outside yet. It kind of looks like a zamboni has just driven over every road and sidewalk, but it snowed in all the grass.

If this thing pans out I'll probobly make my first trip over to blue knob.

I'm pretty sure he said in another thread that they were going to wait a day or 2 for the snow to set before they started working.

Its not massive at all Its EPIC

I"d probably pop a few blood vessels in my head if I went all over the east coast on a steezy trip and got stuck having to chill on Blues with a gaper. I bet he wants to take a bunch of breaks during the day too. If you absolutely HAVE to take this guy, make sure you get some alone time during the day. Send him off so you can get the good stuff and meet up with him later on. My advice, Hit up Stratton, then go North a little bit (You're already most of the way there right?). Stowe is amazing, but your friend would probably kill himself on the blues there plus its at least 2 to 3 hours north of stratton. Killington is only 30 miles north of Stratton, you can actually see Stratton from Skye Peak at Killy. That might not be a terrible idea.

In addition to making the place seem incredibly man made and fake, those fences scare me for some reason. I like riding the very sides of trails to get good snow, but I'd rather stick to the side in VT where theres a huge drop off than next to the fence at CB

If you notice, Whistler doesn't actually have any of its own lights as of now. Everything it gets is from the huge towers of lights and any spillover from lit trails. It was open maybe a week or 2 a year for a long time and actually went a few years totally closed.

They used to have a key below the map when you clicked on it that would associate trail names with numbers, that must have gotten messed up with the site redesign. I'm actually kind of surprised no one caught on to it before this.

What Papasteeze makes a lot of sense and I'm hoping that he's right, but using that same logic wouldn't a patroller or anyone else have the right to mark/clip the ticket of a beginner attempting to ski a trail they aren't ready for yet? Unless Frost puts a rule into effect where they have the right to judge people's skiing in the glades, which they certainly could do.

Yep and its one of my biggest turnoffs of that place. That and the huge stupid street signs I don't totally hate CB, but it always feels like more of a theme park kind of thing there than a mountain.

We've got a calendar feature on here somewhere. Hasn't been used in a while but its definately there.

I'm down. Insert your own rear entry joke here...
