Not yet. I always thought you just jab them in the snow as hard as you can, and then make your turns around them.

that is accurate.

Who told you that??  I doubt that instructor was a level 3. Did you know level is spelled the same forward and backwards just like racecar..

Did you know Neil A backwards is Alien?  Mind blowing.

Don't do that with your poles.

Red alert! Guns are ablaze at CB! Come on Blue, let's get going!  There is 1% less humidity in Tannersville so I think that might explain the difference.

The picnic tables are getting a nice coating. The snow will help cool off my hot cocoa on Saturday night.

Doesn't look like I'll be able to. I tried booking a suite earlier but it says "A 2 Night Minimum may be required or there is no availability at the Lodge. Please modify your date selection or contact us directly at 855-515-1283."

About 28 degrees at Blue right now.  Not crazy cold like we would like, but its not going to get as warm today.

Every little bit of snow helps.

How do you figure out the temperature at Blue??  I typically take the average of Allentown and Mount Pocono as an estimate

Wunderground has individual weather stations from weather nerds on a map.  Same with weatherbug.

Why are you waiting until Saturday night?? Get the freshies first thing in the morning? Did you ski the big powder day last year or during the blizzard two years ago??  Are you gonna be at Blue Sunday for sloppy seconds??

I assumed the snow condition at 8:30 am would be hard pack/frozen over again, like last Saturday. Conditions were actually better in the afternoon once it softened up.

Ice is nice speed is good dress like an astronaut..JADIP just another donut in paradise.

1-3" is nothing though. Just makes travel difficult.
