It was a compliment. And I expected more of this thread after so vivid and detailed report of GSS troubles and really good skiing. Yet it died around second page. Quote

Less driving, cozier lodge, and everybody who needs a lesson is intercepted and rerouted to the valley. And hey, restrooms are cleaner too Expand Do people actually use the lodges??? Shit most of the PASRs don't even use the restrooms. It's nice when you want to leave to be able to ski right back to your car. I prefer to not have to go inside at all if I can help it. Plus we have a hell of a tailgating scene in the lower lot. Quote

You don't have to sit inside, if it's not too cold, they have decent sitting area with fireplace and a bar on top. Even without bar, they have ice inside, and I used to just bring rum with me. Skiing was sooo much better after a break like this. Beer is what I wouldn't drink for sure. Forces an early come back to the lodge. Quote

He couldn't get off his phone while skiing with me and it was pretty obvious that he'd rather wait on top of the 6-pack for more company than be on a quad where chances of meeting others seemed slim.

When I was a newer skier I'd eat in the cafeteria every time I skied. I guess you're right about if you ski a full day you wanna stop and get food. Do you use ski check? Quote

Expand #Truth and Salty is definitely a big GSS fan..I don't blame him as I'm pretty awesome. He needs to get off his freaking phone though. Skiing is my phone free time... Quote

It's a retention basin. One year it first snowed and rained quite a lot, and then suddenly it all froze, and froze real well. So we ended up with a skating rink the size of a soccer field. All nice, level and smooth. Had a blast for a few days. Quote

eaf Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 So, @AtomicSkier has mentioned an interesting thing yesterday. Once upon a time there was an open minded group of people that roamed around PA mountains enjoying skiing all over the place. They didn't care too much whether it was JF, CB, BM or perhaps even MC and hated when moderators on a CB forum were removing each and every post that had even the slightest mention of BM. So that group got fed up by the censorship and formed a forum, not unlike this one, where they could talk about anything, but the talk was of course ski-centered. Due to its openness the forum got so much traction that there were hundreds of people following it. At the peak of its popularity members were handed out free tickets to some mountains and then would show up in pretty big crowds, like 50 people a time, were given private rooms in lodges to hang out, and those days were the original glorious PASR days. Then some got married, some had injuries, some just got tired of skiing, the hypnotizing blue light has pushed all but one mountain in the shadow, and whoever was not with the light had to be against it, and chose to stop posting. The remnants of that forum still have all those other mountains listed on it, but invariably the conversation in each and every thread rotates about the light, the true blue light that lights the path for the few remaining ones. Now, I wasn't really paying attention too much, as I was still digesting the previous conversation about JH, and may have gotten many things wrong, but the story just fascinates me. Wow, just Wow, as GSS likes to say. 2 Quote
