Wow just wow you responded fast.

Your best bet might be driving up Friday evening and staying overnight near blue.

Yeah, I thought of that. But I have to shovel out the Mrs...

 

I will be at blue this Friday and probably leave before it gets good. Saturday is Tbd. Winds are going to be sick. If the storm is a fast mover I may get to blue for a sloppy evening session. But currently not progged to move that fast. Probably come back on Sunday so it's lookin like I'm missing the goods

Well you got your powder at mad river glen so you're good. Right now working with airlines and central reservations to fly out to Jackson hole before the storm.

Good luck with that. A PIA but worth it if you can make it work

If my winter driving skills are still sharp I plan on being at Blue Saturday morning.

I'll drink water in the lot instead of beer.... [emoji106]

 

 

Honestly, hoping that 3 and a half days on codussin will be enough to kick this shit out of my system for the most part.

Latest models bring precipitation shield farther north. I'm calling for 12-18"+ for the Lehigh valley.

[tarponhead]

Wind gust predictions are mostly coastal so LV in the 25-35 mph range which should be ok for lifts, but still semi sucks for snow drifts (driving)

[toast21602]

Have a feeling I won't be making it to Blue Saturday if we get 12+ with drifting

It won't be that deep for the drive to the hill. Prob under 6" for opening.

yeah, its the drive home I'd be worried about. I live on top of a hill and the drifting is always bad. Only time will tell.

You got a friendly neighbor you can park your car at the bottom of the hill? PDOT gonna be out there anyway...

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Be glad you're not in Virginia. My parents spent 3 hours driving 8 miles due to a half inch of snow and ice down in Arlington. They said there were like 50 accidents.

How clear do they keep the hill going up to Blue, then back down towards the lower lot? From BMDI up? That looks like it could get nasty.

The way up during a snowstorm is usually a cluster-F.

People with inadequate vehicles getting stuck end up blocking the way for those that have no problems in the snow.

Sometimes it's better to take the long-way round through Palmerton.

So would in your opinion the Lehighton exit be best bet for this Sat am instead of LV?

Thinking about it, it might make sense to take the Lehighton exit.

The turnpike will have more traffic and be better cared for.

If you take 248 into Palmerton, it's also got more traffic, so should be better as well.

Finally, you're coming in the backside and you avoid the possible Mountain Drive shit-show, unless you're into that...

Downside is a bit longer drive on turnpike and higher toll.

 

As with any drive in the snow though, it's a crap shoot as you never know when someone else has had a bad go of it.

Probably told this story here before, but I was hit and totaled by a liftie doing donuts once at blue.  On my way in the gate on the access road and look over to see a crappy old car sliding straight for me.  I still went skiing that day.

Seems like Sunday will be a great day to check out Whitetail, Roundtop or Liberty.
