I liked the $33 morning ticket as well. I could ski in the morning then get stuff done in the afternoon. 4 hours is plenty at Montage. I won't pay $58 to ski a couple hours so they lost a customer here as well.

I've done the Berthoud Pass in a snow storm and it is not fun. In fact it's not really fun when it isn't snowing.

Did you ever notice that the people with the smallest lawns put up the most and the largest inflatable decorations? There's one near me where Santa looks like he's doing something naughty with Rudolf and a penguin.

All of those things offered on that site are given by the companies in trade for advertising. The site then sells the items to generate revenue in return for the advertising. If I lived closer I'd jump on that deal.

I thought you didn't like to involve science in these discussions. You must be a liberal arts professor.

If you want to avoid crowds go to Plattekill on the weekend. Check their snow conditions first but they are expanding their snowmaking every year so conditions are equal to the other Catskill areas on their main trails. They have a lot deals on certain Fridays so you may want to check that out as well.

Looks like Montage started blowing snow today.

Thanks. I like to use it on weekends when I am not in VT or the ADK. I ski from open to noon or whenever it gets crowded. I don't want to pay for a full price ticket for 3 or 4 hours.

Ski2LiveLIve2Ski, Do you know if the Pocono Card is out yet? Do you get emails from the Princeton Ski Club to let us know when it comes out? I bought that one year and it is a much better deal than the WNEP Card.

Why don't you go there sometime and find out? Oh, that's right. You only ski Blue Mt. and Jackson Hole. Big Bear doesn't haven't any high speed lifts so you wouldn't be interested anyway.

The only way the WNEP Card makes sense for me is that it has Whiteface on it. Whiteface ticket is $96. If I use it at Jack Frost, Shawnee, and possibly Big Bear it's not a bad deal.

Exactly. Ever go to a bar and get a nice craft beer in a frosted mug? WTF? 🙄 Coors Light drinkers want frosted mugs because they want it too cold to taste that crap.

The runs are not shorter at Elk. They have better terrain and more expert trails than Blue.

I get it. If Blue was 10 minutes away from me I'd have a pass there too, not just the 6 weekday deal that I get. But it is still worth checking out sometime for a day just for some variation and to see what it is like. Other than a HSQ they could also add some glades as opposed to their "No tree skiing policy".

That's kind of surprising. Elk has the best terrain and conditions in PA (and yes, I've been to Blue Knob twice). The lifts aren't really slow. They are just not high speed detachables. And when you consider that you're not waiting in line like at Blue or Camelback, you'll be at the top in the same amount of time. Although I do think that they really need to replace the doubles in front of the lodge with a HSQ at some point.

I hope you get some good snow at Magic but they're only open Friday thru Sunday so I hope one of your weekdays off is Friday. The new owners have been making a lot of improvements. They likely won't get the Black replacement installed this year but they say the green will be running.

It's getting discovered but still pretty empty on weekdays.

If you get to Utah hit up Powder Mountain before the masses discover it. Never been to Snowbasin so i'd like to get there.

In today's society tattoos are fashion. And fashion changes. Just look at the styles in some ten year old photos. Glasses, hair styles, clothes all change. Tattoos are forever. Not to mention body sizes change as you age so the tattoo you got today will look like a blob in 20 years or less. Tattoo removal is going to be big business in the future. I've been looking for a tattoo removal system to invest in. They haven't invented a good one yet.

Most car salesmen & women wear polo shirts with the dealer emblem on them nowadays. Looks much better than those wearing cheap ties that are loose around the neck. And often less intimidating to customers. Your company should get with the 90's. 😉

That's actually a T-bar that they will be installing. Not a chair.

Subaru Forester is available in a stick.

Just get a Subaru Outback. Subaru has the best all wheel drive system and I don't anyone who's had maintenance problems with Subaru's. I've had 3 and put over 200k miles on each with mainly basic maintenance.

Do you know which thread this is, Mr. Tombstone?

Lost Tavern's beer is much better than Proper's. Been to Proper twice and their beer, while not "bad", is not that good.
