Wow you might be the first PASR to ride the poconos fastest six pack. 

PASRs will not be first-chair on the six. It will be me hosting a book-club discussion of the Great Gatsby. Admission to chair based on SAT scores and a compelling personal essay.

Bahahahaha I only got a 1260 on the SATs..and I did a lot better on the Math portion.

I don't know if there are any college students on PASR but the first two weeks in January college students with a valid ID can buy 8 hour lift tickets on weekdays for $30 and Blue has also substantially lowered their lift ticket prices and are charging youth pricing for all and offer a $5 discount on passes bought online.  Good stuff.

Thanks. My nephew just texted me. Wants to come up here and go riding sometime in January.

I questioned the 830am opening on 12/26 because that week is holiday hours and rates I thought. Maybe it changed for this year.  I'll keep everybody updated.

I pointed out the typical 8am holiday openings and they changed this picture.

you are the man Doug.  Not sure what Blue would do without you.

Thanks they're all over the place...now let's hope the employees get the memo to show up early on 12/26...I've told Blue before I'll be their social media guy for free..would save them $7.25 an hour.

Salty said it hit 48 today in Palmerton must be a microclimate.

I stand corrected. The "Past Observations" page on wunderground.com for Palmerton states the high was 43, and dropped to 32 at 6:15 PM.

I presume I misinterpreted their main page and confused "forecast" and "observation".

It's ok I'll let it slide...thanks SallyAnne!!

I see quite a few people on the webcam tonight, so it can't be that bad out. I'm almost certain that I'll be there after 6 pm tomorrow, and possibly ski for the last time in my Elan Morpheo 4 Early Rise Rockers, 168s.

That's sweet that you are getting new skis this weekend.  You should try to haggle for the Volkys

Maybe you'll beat the 2 hour and 8 minute drive of last week...

Have you tried the Volkls out, or demo'd anything else besides your current skis?

I can try, but I'm not really good at haggling. They're asking $599 and I will get some price comparisons, but other than that I don't really have much leverage to lower the price because it's the beginning of the season.

I sure hope so.

I have never skied on anything else. Maybe I should demo before dropping such a big investment, since skis are probably non-refundable. A ski shop near CB will let me take out a pair of Volkys for $40, so maybe I should...

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Salty does the $599 include binders?  Look online and if you see a better price print it out that's your leverage.  Aren't they last years model. Sometimes if you pay cash you can avoid paying sales tax which would save you $30 right there.

A lot of times if you demo a pair of skis they will use the demo price towards the purchase of a pair of new skis.  

 

Salty this will be you on the Volkyl RTM skis. Of all skis how did you come up with those as an option.
