RideDE are you planning on riding at Blue at all this season??  You’ll be able to get a free pass since you’re a ski patroller. 

I usually keep my gear in VT unless I know I’m coming down that way with a chance to ride. If I remember to bring down my gear, then I’ll definitely give it a shot. It’s been like 10 years since I last rode with PASRs. I had a random day with Root, Justo, and Rose at Hunter maybe 7-8 years ago, and that was it...

I’m determined to try out Elk this year. Probably won’t go until the whole mountain is open since it’ll be first trip, and likely not a frequent spot

Remember when Ski2Live took his daughters to Elk??

[Shadows]

Did she actually save up enough money?

Mr Moore was the sole importer of VW to the Philadelphia market at one time.

He was the 1st importer of VW in the US, IIRC. Someone told me he still gets a nickel or dime for every Veedub sold in the US.

I don’t disappear on purpose. Just get busy and stop checking in on the message boards. I still try to write TRs from time to time. Especially when they are different mountains, early season, or epic snow conditions.

This is true. You do write a mean TR now and again. Check your DMs though because if i end up in Vermont I'm hitting you up.

Sure we all met him at the PASR party. He bought a season pass to blue...he and Salty skied together a handful of times last season.  I’m sure he’ll be back here posting around the time the major Pocono ski resorts start blowing the mice out of the snowguns.

Yeah they both get $5 a week..and they actually had free tickets from the 5th grade ski program but their frugal dad still needed to cough up Johnny cash for a half day ticket plus gas, tolls and wear and tear on the car plus two Capri suns and a bag of sun chips.

I do like your reports...even if they’re sometimes like a month late.

Will do. I keep forgetting Tapatalk has that feature. It’s been years since I’ve used it. Hopefully a notification pops up.

I hardly take my laptop with me anywhere, so I have to type it up on my phone half the time. It saves me time on uploading pictures, but it takes more time to write. Sometimes the task seems daunting, so I keep putting it off until a month later when I’m back around my computer.

I’ve written a 6 paragraph long Jackson hole report on the 9.5 minute tram ride on my iPhone.

MId week in between Christmas and New Years if things get going early would be fun.  Not fun if its 3 trails.  

Expand  

They usually open with 5, but that includes the beginners and the West slope (1/2 way up mtn).  They've had most of the mountain open by that week too, all depends on the weather.

One thing, when they open a trail it is wall to wall with excellent conditions.

[RidgeRacer]

If elk isnt fully open or close to fully open the Christmas week then we'll pick another day but ElK PASR day is happening. Trails like Slalom, Iroquois and Mohawk would definitely need to be in play. Rummy are you down to ski with us?

Oh yes, I'll be there.....  and I don't stop and gawk at the scenery.

One exception, my knees don't do bumps anymore.... And another, I usually take a trip to NH early January.

Mohawk, Tuscarora, Iroquois and Lackawanna have been the last few trails to open the last several years.  They concentrate on opening the West (quad) side first.

If the PASR crew makes the trip on a Wednesday in January or February I should be able to get discount coupons for $25 lift tickets.  Has to be a Wednesday, and that was the fee other years.....
