RootDKJ Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 I had a nice morning with @toast21602 at Blue today. Place was mostly empty until 11. Only sugar was on Tuts and Home Stretch. Main was nice, but there's some weird grooming going on there. The hard right on Lazy was unusually smooth today. Left side of Paradise was silky smooth and really firm. Did Burma twice. Lots of dirty snow everywhere. At one point an inspector was checking the operation of the safety bars as sofa's came into the terminal.. 8 Quote
toast21602 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) As always, a nice session with Mr. Root this morning. Happy with conditions, but getting tired of the limited terrain. At least it isn't just Blue... all of PA is in the same boat. Glad they are open. Then next week or two will be interesting up there......... Edited January 2, 2019 by toast21602 Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Yeah hard to muster up much enthusiasm for heading to Blue after CO with the amount they have open and what I read about conditions. Would like to take kids there on Saturday, but forecast not looking real favorable for that. Edited January 2, 2019 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote

Seeing as how I have to be in Scotch Plains, NJ from at least 11 to 3 on Sunday to perform a tribute to the Million Dollar Quartet, Sat is the day for me. 2 Quote
eaf Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 Weird. The snow feels like spring (rough, wet, heavy), but the air doesn't smell like it at all. Hardly pleasant, I only hope that while the night is progressing, the snow will set. Lazy is the best so far, even though it's full of skidmarks. The weekend is not going to be worth a 2hr drive. They say that cold weather is coming, so perhaps not all us lost. 2 1 Quote

When are they sending the cold weather? I need to ski down Razor's Edge on my RTMs before March. Today i was playing The Evil That Men Do by Iron Maiden because the lyrics say "living on a razor's edge" and it's my go to song to listen to while descending that run.

momskeeztoo Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 Conditions were surprisingly good today. Thermometer in my car said 34 on our way home, so maybe make some snow tonight? Quote

RidgeRacer Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 Seriously...WTF is with this weather. Whatever dusting they were calling for last night around here ended up being rain / freezing rain. It's becoming downright depressing at this point. With that said I'm skiing tonight. Quote
Shadows Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 Ill be up as well. not sure if im waiting until midnight like most you guys but ill be up. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 Ill be up as well. not sure if im waiting until midnight like most you guys but ill be up.I'm aiming for 6 or 630. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 Late tonight and early tomorrow AM is blues one decent chance to blow snow this week. Things like winds, cloud cover and an inversion could hinder that. Think cold thoughts y’all. I don’t know if I’m skiing tonight...my friend wants to have me over for supper..might just wait till the weekend. 2 Quote
