toast21602 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) ^Have you ever actually explained why you feel the need to put Robert2 down? I am genuinely interested in this. My guess is that its a manifestation of a subconscious feeling of inferiority. it would really explain a lot. but i'm curious to see what he has to say... Edited February 16, 2012 by toast21602 Quote
Robert2 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Posted February 16, 2012 baller icon krs1 also not hating or anything but how much SPEEEEEEEED do you get on greens r2? WOWI just noticed that the second GPS tracker app I picked up for the iphone is called SHADOW and the only reason I went looking for GPS tracking in the first place was because SHADOWS asked how fast can you get on greens. How weird is that? My motivation for spending ANY time contributing trail reports to this forum is to share daily conditions with potential skiers who are deciding if they should go ski on any given day. Its a North East PA ski resort with mademade snow and daily grooming. Its not Utah. Its not Vermont. There will be the rare deep snowfall but then the governor shuts down the whole damn state anyway so there will NEVER be a trail report about 3 feet of fresh powder. So getting back to reality we make our fun where we can here and if you can not ski on anything except deep soft fresh powder then you don't ski every day in the Poconos. I go snowboard 5 days a week in all temperatures and all weather conditions 5 degrees to 50 degrees and never NOT go because the weather isn't perfect. Today is a perfect example of why your backyard weather should not keep you home from skiing. It rained all morning and all the way to Jack Frost and it turned to snowflakes ten minutes before I arrived at Jack Frost as we arrived at the higher 1,950 foot elevation. I didn't get wet and I got to play on the snow today. You could too. But I figured nobody really can get away to ski midweek anymore. Kids in school and jobs keeping people home. I even offered a free lift ticket and got NO takers. So why bother sharing daily trail reports at all? I'll post more TRs in March near the end of the season just to let people know we still play on the white stuff and encourage them to come here instead of the Flower Show. I've never met this GSS. I'm a grandparent and having raised three kids I've seen just about every kind of stupidy a dumb shit kid can get into. The Secret Service came to my house and confiscated my wife's PC because my son printed money. But that was OK. My computer programming job had dealt with all government agencies so when the police said the Secret Service was coming I replied..."really? Who? Friends of mine? I might know them." The arresting officer was not very amused but no big deal, he got over it. That kid really was a pain in the ass. Two years later he was the driver in a prison break. It all worked out and the kid is doing fine in the real world now. So I'll just ignore GSS. I started this post just to clarify for newbies that HOW WAS FLOYDS was an intentional insult by GSS toward me. Its up to the moderators to weed out the garbage posts. Perhaps leaving them intact is considered entertainment but it really does reduce the overall value of having a forum if EVERY post is tainted by a troll and the troll chases off forum contributors. 5 Quote
pcklein31 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) ^^ I look at this site daily for information/TR, which really has been lacking this year, but I've never really posted. So, yes I could be considered part of the lack of quality post because I do not create any, but I must say Robert's above post was one of the most quality posts I've seen here..

mbike-ski Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 having gss on ignore should be the default setting for users then if you want you can turn on a dumb button or something 6 Quote
caprice150 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 R2, or anyone up at JFBB tonight, did it start raining? Or was it just snow today? I want to head up tomorrow but if it rained I'll just go to BC Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 we could just put him on perma-mod preview While sometimes that seems like a good idea, that would create far too much work for the mods, and you would have GSS pestering you all the time to let him off... Quote

Yep no rain all snow.... heavy wet sticky snow..... the whole day was like inside a snowglobe. Everyone looked like they were getting rained on. Jackets all saturated with water. The surface was 2 inches of soft snow.... and slowed the ride down a wee bit so I went for steeper riding on Ridge Run,Jane's Lane and Lehigh today. The crossover from Jane's Lane to Lehigh had snow coverage today. Its been bare rocks all winter. This sort of makes my day. I like to get off the lift on the Jane's Lane side instead of huffing it past Snow Monters to get to the top of Lehigh. Quote
fluffy Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 The connector from Jane's to Lehigh a.k.a. The Robert2 Crossover. Seriously. Quote
fluffy Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks for the trip reports R2. Don't let a darsh like GSS get to you. Just ignore him. I think it's great that you are so in to boarding. As long as you are having a good time riding, then it doesnt matter what Floyd's is like that day. GSS is just jealous that he doesn't have a reserved seat with an official sign for him at his home mountain. Haters gonna hate. JADIP 1 Quote
