Kyle Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 Might as well give this tr thing a shot. Left kutztown for big boulder at around 1:30. Arrived in the lot at 2:40 and the temp was hovering around 42 degrees. Downed a few beers while booting up/ waiting for opening. My first run of the day was down love park. The snow was nice, soft "packed powder". Love was thin width wise but seemed to have a decent base on it considering the warmer weather and rain we have been having. After I few runs on love we headed over to freedom. Freedom had a nice little setup to mess around on. If anyone is wondering it goes like this from top to bottom : Flat down butter box, down bar, flat mailbox, double wide mailbox, flat box, double barrel down rail, dfd rail, street handrail, c rail, side option mailbox, small jump thing, small bomb, then a z rail at the bottom. We took a few slow runs through the park to get our legs back under us then we went back out to the parking lot for a little to relax and drink more. This probably paid off because it took a while for the lights on freedom to come on, for whatever reason. Our next few runs were down snowdrift/ big boulder park. These two were definitely ROTD. Boulder park had wide coverage and you were really able to get some speed and make nice long carves. By about 7 things started to harden up with some icy spots and that's when we decided to call it a night. All in all it was pretty fun and good to be back on the snow again. I was surprised with how much snow boulder actually had considering the weather. The guns came on about 2 or 3 runs before we left. I'm going to venture to guess that was around 7:30. Seems like they're really pushing to be 100% by the holiday week. Money well spent though. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 Must have just missed you. It's probably the best skiing in pa right now. Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 i assume they are adding Bunny Schuss and something else....they are saying 5 or more for this weekend, and last weekend there wasnt a lick of snow on Dragonfire, so probably no hope there. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 Bunny elbow looks close and ski school slope in addition to bb park, love and freedom. Quote

Justo8484 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 oh, what used to be the halfpipe at one point, with the big wooden wallride, gotcha Quote

Kyle Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Posted December 14, 2012 Draufganger translates to daredevil I believe, something along those lines. Dragon fire sounds cooler though Quote
