I never go near Blue on a weekend except maybe end-of-season if I have one of my 6 midweek tickets left and the crowds have thinned. If they had a morning ticket I might consider it but I'm not paying even the discounted $62.00 for 2 hrs of skiing.

It means they think that you're gay.

Hey look! tRump isn't the only one with tiny hands!

Grooming is one of Blue's biggest weak points. They never let the whales dry out before grooming after making snow. They are the best at making cookies. I bet the groomers were out at 10:01 last night and everything is frozory this morning. It should ski in nicely, though.

I'll be at Elk Saturday morning. Looking forward to skiing the best mountain in PA. (And yes I've been to Blue Knob, twice.)

Thanks for posting. They used to have a good weekend morning ticket deal but stopped it this year.

I would go to Camelback for 2 reasons, altitude and latitude. CB is about 2000' at the top. Blue is 1400' at the top. CB is farther north. Plus I get bored skiing the same place all the time. I like Blue better but CB has a lot of variety to offer as well. I never find Superbowl Sunday to be that much less crowded than any other Sunday. The game doesn't start until 6:30 so most people can leave at 4:00 and still be home to watch the game.

One of the one's I remember from the moron was a multiple choice, "How high is Mt. Everest?" One of the choices was, B. 8, 848 miles. The others were even more ridiculous. He read the "m" to stand for miles. When I said, "None of the above" and told him he mistakenly took "m' for miles and not meters he insisted the answer was miles. I told him the earth is only about 8000 miles in diameter and is not shaped like a cone. He had two other answers to other questions that anyone with a brain knew were wrong but insisted he was right.

Who's the person running the trivia. I went to one a year or so ago and the guy running it was a moron. He would read the answer wrong or probably wrote it down wrong to begin with and then insist his answer was right and your correct answer was wrong.

Anyone know what trail it was on? I was thinking Falls or the Razors headwall before Homestretch where you can't see over the lip? The article says it wasn't the person who struck him's fault. You are supposed to ski under control and are responsible for avoiding those in front of you so I don't how that is.

Gore is always slow to update their conditions and snow accumulations. In any case, I would agree, now is not the best time to go to Gore. You likely want to wait until they have all of their terrain open including the Snow Bowl.

Do not go to Keystone unless you want your kids run over by a bunch of yahoo snowboarders from Texas. That is the last place in CO I would take kids skiing greens and blues!

Skied Gore last Saturday. They got about 4" from the storm once it turned to snow. Most of the lifts were iced up so terrain was limited. Conditions were great except where the water had pooled and froze. But you could ski around the ice. Heard Sunday was much better. I think Gore will be great this weekend after this storm.

Did you day trip up there? Love Platty but it's a bit far for a day trip me.

Whiteface can be really good but most times I've been there it's lived up to it's moniker, "Iceface" in one way or another. I like Gore better than Whiteface. Gore when it is 100% has a lot of diversity and pods to get away from the crowds and out of the wind if it's windy. It also has more trees if you're into that.

Nice report. You hit it right. I was planning to be there on Friday and Gore on Saturday but -10F high plus high winds (-45 wind chill) made our group decide to postpone that trip.

If it does go farther inland it will be windy and the dry snow will blow off the slopes into the woods. I wouldn't look for an epic powder day.

You can buy discount tickets at some of the township recreation departments. Discounts are not as good as they used to be but it saves a few bucks. The attached list is from Perkasie but other towns sell them as well. Perkasie Borough ski-ticket-prices.pdf

Bear Creek is open. I went a few years ago. There were a lot of non Christians staying at the hotel over the holiday and everything was open.

After I ordered mine I got an email saying that some cards went out with Montage on them but that is is NOT included and will not be honored at Montage. I think Montage is making a mistake. It would get them exposure and most people would buy food or a beer when there.

I'm kind of surprised by the results of that survey since most teenagers are always looking at their phones. I always take a real book with me when I get on a plane but it seems most of the others are reading kindles. Last book I read is "Beneath a Scarlet Sky" https://www.amazon.com/Beneath-Scarlet-Sky-Mark-Sullivan-ebook/product-reviews/B01L1CEZ6K It's based on a true story and there is some skiing involved and even a train. Highly recommend it.

What kind of swag will you be giving out at the show? Most of the shows around here don't have much in the way of lift tickets of even B1G1's Morristown, NJ has the best swag within driving distance of SE PA.

I bet they can make even bigger cookies with that thing!

I bought one. Mainly because Whiteface is included (used to be Gore). Whiteface tickets alone are $94 walkup. I'll likely use it at Jack Frost, Shawnee, and Big Bear as well. Less than $25/ticket. They used to include two JF/BB tickets that you could use at either. Now I think it is only one ticket you can use at either.
