More snow in Allentown than at Blue. My guess is 4-5 inches in the A and 3 inches at Blue. I wouldn’t call it champagne powder but more medium density.  @AirheadD8 let’s see a picture of the foot.

@AirheadD8 I did notice a darker blue band just south of Allentown so that’s probably what delivered so much for you.  
 

have you hit any of the backcountry lines in your neighborhood?

I debated behind my house, it’s 300 vertical and a road at the bottom. I cheated a couple years ago and had my wife pick me up 😁 There’s some really big rocks at the bottom. So I skipped this year….Unless we get some more next Saturday?

Looks like some snow squall activity at Blue mountain. Anybody get a snow squall warning..I thought I turned those alerts off the last time I was awoken cause some baby daddy abducted a kid in reading and I was supposed to be on the lookout for a LatinX male driving a gray Nissan Altima with tinted windows..sheesh that’s half of Allentown. 

[momskeeztoo]

Yes, I actually got two alerts. I thought I turned mine off, too. We did have a snow squall, it was pretty cool

It was a very dynamic storm and I was watching the dark blue bands south of me. When I was a teenager there was a storm where tilghman street in Allentown received 1” and on Lehigh street by the brass rail, there was like 5+ inches and at the time I thought that was insane and drove to the south side to see the difference.

Haha and I feel like our season has been about the same length every year.  Early December to late March.  She a few random early April and late November days.

i agree with this.  How many times has Blue been open past Easter?  i think i have had a season pass for about 10 years now, and i can only come up with that one year they were open until mid April.

Ski2Live has band rehearsals we were talking about going to one of his gigs this summer.  I know the Beagles have played free concerts at the Princeton library a few times.  Can pregame at the Triumph brewery first.

Still a lot of base, a week from now they can use the snow from the terrain parks to fill in the holes lol.  This weekend should be good spring skiing
