I'm not sure if that's a dig or not. Either way it comes off as haughty. Not a good look RD.

Not a dig at all. Just the way it is at the Bush. I love almost all mountains. Haven't been a homer in PA for 4 years.

In 2010

In 2010-11 before you were a patroller you skied PA a whopping 4 days!!!

I forgot about my post grad days before I started patrolling. So long ago...

For most of us if we didnt ski in PA our days would be significantly cut. Yeah it is also a point of pride. Not many PASRs only ski at destination resorts and not in PA...it gives us a sense of community here.

I remember in 2009 the one and only time I met you at camelback. Nazareth jay and Johnny style and JFDan were all there.

90% of my ski days in Poconos the first 10 and last 5 years I have skied.

 

90% Catskills about 20 years in between.

 

Made about 15 trips further North and about 10 West in those 35 years.

 

Can't say I am most proud of the Poconos part, but it works for my location for the forsee able future.

Says the guy from Jersey. Yeah it's not the Wasatch but I'm pretty proud about having 1100 vertical feet 15 minutes from my house and multiple other ski areas within a 20 mile radius. Plenty of states (including New Jersey) don't have that luxury. Edited by RidgeRacer

I'm hoping to make it up for an epic weekend day with the PASR crew. I think I can get a comp there or fork out the caysh. I met Justo, Rose, and Root a random day out with OutCold at Hunter on a spring day about a year after that as well. I need to put in some face time for sure.

I grew up in PA and lived there when I started skiing. But yeah, in NJ now, and PA is the closest skiing.

If you venture to the Bush, hit me up. If I'm not patrolling, and I'm in town, I'm game to meet PASR's.

Yeah, being down here is horrible. I'd ski the shit out of Spring if it was down the street.

The season or the "mountain"?

I volunteer now. Average 30 or so days a year. We don't do nearly as much speed control as they have at Blue and mostly don't have a "my life sucks so I will punish every other skier" mentality you often see. We are pretty laid back. Good people and a good gig. Great benefits. Just have to sign up online a week beforehand.

You can get a comp cause you're a patroller!!! You can stay at your old Lehigh Frat house!!!

And you got 40 days in last season!!!

One thing about PASR is that many of us ski and ride more because of it. I know there've been a few days afterwork when I didn't feel like going up to Blue and Atomic Jeff called me a pussy and I went. Even if I'm tired or sick or hungover once I'm skiing I forget about it.

That's when you know you're old. The other night at the local bar I stayed late and helped the bartender count her tips cause I like counting money it's in my genetics and she poured herself a fireball shot and was about to pour me one and I declined...damn I'm starting to get old. Pretty soon I'll be eating fiber bars. I probably just offended Moe Ghoul lol Edited by GrilledSteezeSandwich

Pulled out a pair of hand me down ski pants for my youngest. They still had a ton of JFBB lift tickets on them from 2011. Lots of good memories in the Poconos.
