VTmark Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Wednesday TR: Picked up VTmark and got onto the slopes at 245. Lazy was in nice condition, so was main street for the most part. I say that cause main street was run of the day up until about 100 yards before chute, it then went into death cookies before getting to the piles on lower main street. however, main street without bumps is awesome and i can really pick up speed without them. It felt colder during the day wednesday then at night on monday. quad was actually open with literally nobody on it. we rode it once to check out snowmaking...razors headwall needs work but the other 75% of the trail has huge piles. Our last run up they stopped making snow on paradise and started the groomer on it, while the guns on Challenge started up. Im assuming after challenge they will move to night weaver, then sidewinder, then switchback. as we were getting ready to leave atomic jeff showed up. at 545 we left and hit up Pennsylvania's only white castle on the way home. you left out pissing off the race team bashing their gates as they where setting them up.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 lol if they didn't want people using them they should have roped them off. We won't be able to ride razors on Sunday cause of them smh. It was funny that like 5 other people followed us through the gates lol Yup not roped off its allowed. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Posted January 14, 2016 Very nice. Paradise opened 11 runs by 11. Beer break, then MOAR! 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Yup. Pretty nice conditions Do you have a pass at bear creek and blue?? Quote
Kyle Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Do you have a pass at bear creek and blue?? Correct me if I'm wrong momskeeztoo but I believe she works at bear. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong momskeeztoo but I believe she works at bear. Damn I imagined her being some trophy wife who doesn't work and always has Sunny Delight in the fridge for all the neighborhood kids. 1 Quote
thedude4bides Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Moe, who is demoing up there? Volkl? Blizzard? Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Posted January 14, 2016 Not sure, Kicker was one of them Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Posted January 14, 2016 Solid AM sesh, 23' in the lower lot, a mix of sun/clouds and a few natural flakes were falling here and there. Did 11 laps before beer and food break, 5 more after. No real line to speak of, pretty much slide through the gate and into the chair. Paradise was boring but well groomed with some smaller rubbly bits in the turns. Peaked over the edge at Nightweaver to determine poachability for last run, not ripe yet for picking. I noticed a few things up there: Like: the 6 pack lift line appearance seems cleaner. fewer widowmakers, no trash, nice neat slash piles to the right. It even looked like the glades to the right got some TLC. Are they making an effort to make that terrain more available in the future or am I tripping? Like: General appearance of the base lodge area and amenities make it feel more like a resort and less like a locker room. Dislike: $70 for a weekday day ticket with a forced $15 food voucher. Dislike: No $1 or less items to round off your $15 food voucher, trying to get you to cough up more money in excess of the 15. Dislike: Chicago style hot dogs that looked like dog dix in a used condom. How about tossing them in a fryer and serving up splitters? That griddle is yooooge and there's plenty of room for Matilda to brown them up instead of boiled or steamed. Like: Sweet little cashier trainee that got stumped when I asked her what can I buy to round me up to $15? So I told her to blow me a kiss, and she obliged. The fastest, cushiest big ass bench ride in the Pokes Chicago style dog genitalia and some good beer for the obligatory food stoke pic. That was el fresco in the lot. Some call it tailgating. Someday I'll come for the skiing and stay for the tubing. 3 Quote
thedude4bides Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 I'm sure it's a great report but all I got out of is was Heady Topper. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Nice report moe so hot dog with fries is $7. That's a bargain. Do the hot dogs sit on rollers like at gas stations?? Quote
toast21602 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 I'm sure it's a great report but all I got out of is was Heady Topper. Over heady. Interested in that second fiddle though... Quote
phillycore Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Break time for me.... Buckmans had like 6 tents setup. They started pulling them down about my third run though around 2:45 I guess... Quote
thedude4bides Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Over heady. Interested in that second fiddle though...I have only ever had 5 in my life... I'd need approximately 94 more before I'd stop drooling over it. Even then I'd never turn one down. 2 Quote

momskeeztoo Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong momskeeztoo but I believe she works at bear. Yes, I work at Bear and have pass at Blue. I was very upset at Blue today, the cafeteria lower lodge doesn't sell BLTs anymore. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Yes, I work at Bear and have pass at Blue. I was very upset at Blue today, the cafeteria lower lodge doesn't sell BLTs anymore. I used to call it a Ski-LT yuk yuk yuk Quote
poconoceancity Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Can you buy booze with the voucher? Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 No, only for skiing/ riding. Probably wouldn't get much if you could use for drinks....outrageously expensive, although they usually have some decent stuff on tap. Think of it this way....you saved $25 Their BLTs were the best thing going. I think they were 6.25, bread was decent, your choice white or wheat, and they actually put enough bacon on it. Then with your season pass discount, was a pretty good deal. 2 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Tonight was fun. Best snow was on Lazy. Nice to ski Paradise. At one point around 5:45 or so a groomer made it's way down paradise and fresh tracks were had. Still blowing on razors and I believe widowmaker. Fun evening. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 How much is the season pass discount? 10% Quote
