GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 Blue is closing today at 4pm until thursday morning. This is a humdinger of January thaws. Long lasting, lots of rain, fog and serious overnight warmth. I think blue will just barely able to survive this and the recovery will be slow. 1 Quote

I just hope things are back in shape for Martin Luther king day. It’s a tradition for rich white people to celebrate black history by skiing. 1 Quote

No, actually Jim's friend Alan who is coming to Breck with us this year. We have a Hazleton area area cycling/skiing posse going though @TeleJim lives in Danielsville and drives to Hazleton to bike with the group occasionally. Edited January 3, 2023 by saltyant Quote

WVIA ski day is being postponed. Blue definitely has some thin spots on some trails but they are likely in better shape than some of the other resorts in PA. I wonder how they are going to hold up. 2 Quote

I think they’ll lose like 1/2-2/3 of their base. They should make it but be very thin this weekend. 1 Quote

I’m happy about that in a selfish way I had an invite for tomorrow but was going to bail because of the rain . Quote

All three use different weather models, so i say we have a 75% of overnight snowmaking starting Sunday night. Getting through this coming weekend could be rough. Quote
