Schif Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I had to google the town of Lofty. It's near at town I've seen on signs and maps for a while but have absolutely no clue how to pronounce. Can anyone shed some light on Quakake for me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofty is right by where Steeze skied down the hill. I ride there and Quakake all the time. @AtomicSkier knows about all those little towns like Ginther. What's your question on Quakake? It's pronounced Quake-Ache. Edited December 2, 2020 by saltyant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strapped to a random tree? well anybody can strap ken and barbie to a tree and...........oh, wait, thats already been done at Blue. I live in an area that has had exponential housing growth over the past decade or so, to the point where i have to go around the town i live in, rather than go through it to get home at 4-5 pm. I doubt that traffic is really get less congested anywhere, so i just deal with it. i like where i live, i really like my house, and from my house i dont see anything but other houses, a barn and some trees.

enjoralas Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I actually don’t even mind the warehouses that are popping up less than a mile from my house on former farmland, although I dislike the shady dealings that put them there instead of the farmland that it used to be. But I think that 22 should have been widened to 3 lanes in each direction between the 78 access points before they started the warehouse boom along the root between those points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 The lights are on..that means they’re hoping to fire up the snowmaking cannons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to utilize every opportunity they get now. Even if it is only for an hour. I saw they upgraded the drive train for the 6pack, so hopefully it only breaks down once per ride instead of three times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a step in the right direction for sure. 6 comments on their FB post and of course there is the “when are you opening” comment.

Sounds like you slept about as well as me. Anyway Blue is being extra aggro..with the forecast I think there’s a tiny chance at 12/12..things change fast.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Saturday night to Wednesday morning will make or break our chances at mid December skiing. Could be round the clock snowmaking part of that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 decent amount of guns on now. i think they could be blowing on whatever is right of the six, lower park or something? hard to tell, but maybe a better view with more light. looks like something on at the top of homestretch.

toast21602 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 They need more guns on vista. I don’t know how many years like this that it is going to take for them to realize that. Line both sides. Open with vita lift ASAP. Expand terrain from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Definitely blowing down by the 6, and top of homestretch. Doesnt make sense to me unless they are working on Paradise? could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiggio Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Before the sun glare kicked it, it looked like there was a skif of snow here and there on Razor's, but really hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schif Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 You can't see a thing on the main street camera. I'm hoping it's all snow in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 The snowmaking cannons have fired up on the upper mountain. 40 degrees in Allentown and 27 degrees at mount pocono so probably very marginal. Tonight will be nice snowmaking 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Temperatures aren’t really supposed to rise today but humidity will drop. This is fantastic. If they can just get the vista chair or even school hill open for the weekend will be awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benm Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I'm also surprised they were able to do anything before the upcoming evening. If these conditions are enough, seems like they'll have plenty of workable hours in the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
