It was good. I'll post a report when I get home

I just got back. Got there around 2, let the rain slow down and got on the snow around 3. Only about 10 people on TAN, which was great for my youngest who is transitioning to a board. Hit the BVT for dinner and going back tomorrow without kids.

Wow pocono ocean city you are a road warrior.  Did you stay up in the poconos last weekend or day trip both days. 

[poconoceancity]

Stayed up last week. 2 of my friends own in Briar Crest and we’re up for teachers convention. No luck tonight and I need to get dry gear.

Pocono Ocean you're making me look bad. I live 10 minutes away.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

PoconoOceanCity has always been an early season warrior.

I guess you'll have to see in in January.

I really liked the old-school vibe at brighton. also, lots of terrain variety in a smallish footprint.

Nothing cooler than the sound of avy guns bouncing off the canyon walls in the morning.

I have to ask... Do you keep a pair of powder skis stashed just for occasions like that, or do you always ski them? I would drown if I was on mine, and yet I can't find a reason to have something wider because it's hardpack 99% of the time.

Wide skis doesn't mean they aren't good on groomers. They are 108mm. I have 115mm and 95mm as well as some park skis that come out once a year and slalom skis.

What's the turn radius of 108mm?

17.8m

[AtomicSkier]

My 184cm/98mm underfoot/27m radius daily drivers ski "bigger" than my 193cm/119mm/30m radius power boards.  Things like tip & tail rocker have a profound impact on how a ski behaves on the snow.
