My lease is up November 20th. I’m probably gonna extend it six months because I like my car and the dealership has been bugging me for months to return it early.. Quote

Been a few years. Expand I definitely want to. I really didn't last year because everyone was going up during the day due to flexible work schedules and I'm not hard core enough to drive my ass up there for a solo night session. Quote

It's almost exactly the same amount of time for me. Only reason I take the lehigh valley exit on weekends is in case I need to stop and pee or get gas since there are more places to stop along the way. Expand Yes, the food and gas options are the same reason I take that way as well Quote

Schif Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 I think I night skied twice last year and it was times I was coming or going to/from the Scranton area and I just made a stop. The first 3 years I was on the snow I didn't go during the day once but now I don't know how I feel about it. The crowd is way different at 7pm than 8am and I don't find the joy in trying to turn and hope it's not a complete sheet of ice, which was absolutely the case one of the nights I was there. Quote

Expand That is how I feel about it. Not the biggest fan, but I did go once last year on a warm spring-like day. Those are enjoyable or of course when it is snowing. That might have been my first time since I used to do the Monday racing. Some people love it, especially when the crowds leave. Different strokes for different folks! Quote

Expand In 6th-8th grade with school I only night skied and only went during the daytime with my dad and friends a few times those years. If it’s really icy and you’re not Atomic Jeff with razor sharp edges there are two options..straight run like me or do the pocono shuffle like @saltyant 2 Quote

NMSKI Posted November 27, 2021 Report Posted November 27, 2021 Anybody ever molded their own intuition liners? When I got new boots last season I stuck my old intuitions in there, but they need to be replaced. Not sure I trust myself to do the heat molding with the bag of rice in the microwave, but not sure who I do trust around here either. I'd be interested to hear if it's super easy or if I should seek a professional. Quote

I had mine done in the skate over at the hockey rink at play at, just in a lower setting than you would mold hockey skates on. Worked fairly well. 1 Quote
