Rubix cube man. I'm telling you. Shit keeps me sharp. I started over the summer and do it daily trying to get faster and whatnot. Exercises the brain.

2007 Trail Map

I haven't looked at a trail map in years. I guess they went back to just "Switchback" some time ago. I think I remember seeing Upper and Lower on a snow report in the more recent past.

25 trails sounds about right

When I started skiing Blue in 1990-91, Sidewinder was Blues 16th trail.

Unless I'm mistaken Blue is the only place in PA that regularly adds new trails, which is awesome.

Camelback does too.

 

 

EDIT — wait, sorry. Thought that said TRIALS.

Became more relevant as this year I will be skiing mostly Epic and Indy places - discussed there more than here 

[Justo8484]

Switchback is Upper and Lower and you can't ski one without the other. I don't even know where Upper ends and Lower begins.

Yes you can

Looks like it was just a test again. It’s 24° here and they aren’t on this morning and there is nothing on the ground there. ☹️

[AirheadD8]

Next Friday onward  looks colder so maybe? 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

That snowmaking attempt was a letdown.

If that's true, I'm glad I picked up stuff last night instead of procrastinating. 

I'm also doing my part, and hung up Xmas lights already in an effort to expedite the first snowfall. I think that's some sort of superstition people have.

The best way to get snow to happen is to make sure you are completely unprepared for it.

im on top of that too. Haven't checked the snowblowers and the cutting deck is still on the riding mower instead of the plow.

Flatten the tires and put diesel in the gas tank. That will do it.

The plow has been on my quad for some time now, as thats what i use to push the leaves to the back of my property. But my busted up snow shovel wont be getting replaced anytime soon. Snowblower is still in the shed.
