RidgeRacer Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 Just arrived. 22 degrees as I make my ascent to the peak of the mighty Mt. Bluelympus. Snow looks good. Crowds are minimal. Rush playing at the base. Even got a complement on my goggles for some reason. Should be a solid evening sesh! 5 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Posted January 9, 2018 NMDW is sick. Great snow. Just blasted it all to myself. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Posted January 9, 2018 More of the same on sidewinder. Place is a ghost town (probably because of the schools closing early). Their loss. Win for me Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 Monday and Tuesday nights are generally empty. I'll be up tomorrow night. I bet it feels warm Quote

Definitely feels cooler than 20.Last run was razors. Not as good snow condition wise but again not a soul on it Quote

His dad wasn't the company's founder, either. But, what does it matter? It's easier to run a business into the ground than keep it profitable and constantly growing. There is no need to hate on family members who take over family businesses. 2 1 Quote

Hmmm first year $10 an hour..I was slave boy..filed papers/pushed stokes..second year $11..I made less money than my first year out of college when I worked for Merrill lynch until I was in my early 30s. Oh and yeah there's some pressure not to run the business in the ground like most second generation Tommy Boy types do..good thing business is booming...I have to sell enough tombstones to pay for myself and three families plus health insurance and need to provide great customer service even to the most difficult customers...that's not easy as I'm a dickhead and occasional douchebag who's been known to run his mouth. 1 1 Quote

If I didn't take it over my office manager and delivery guy would need to find new jobs and their market value is about half of what I pay them. 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Posted January 9, 2018 @skitolive The freezing rain was everywhere (Poconos included). Was short lived then turned to snow. Had absolutely no negative impact on snow conditions if that's what you're needing to know. 2 Quote

Ski2Live will think 22 minutes of freezing rain today will have an impact on the visibility of his Bolle goggles this Saturday..funny but absolutely true. 1 1 Quote
Schif Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 I didn't even know that the freezing rain was coming since I was out of town for the weekend. Then I got a call from a guy who sounded like the impending weather meant the sky was falling and he cancelled my meeting with him. Weird. So I got to go home early and watch 15 minutes of ice fall. I guess it did give my car a good coating, but the roads didn't seem that bad. Quote
