toast21602 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 About 3” at my house. Probably a small amount more at Blue. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Posted January 29, 2019 I saw the post I think they mean 6” total will fall which is very likely. Toast how was your drive home? Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Posted January 29, 2019 Also Ski2Live asked on blues Facebook to leave runs ungroomed for a pow day tomorrow. I like his optimism. 2 1 Quote

theprogram4 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 looks like downingtown is the cutoff line around here. all snow in coatesville but all rain in exton a few miles down the road Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Posted January 29, 2019 Definitely 3” solid now in the A. Temperature is just below freezing and the roads are semi bad...I’m thinking we could end up with 5-6” total. Probably a foot at blue depending on which ruler they use. 1 Quote

I could have waited longer for the meat and potatoes of this storm but I was up early and ready to ski. Light snow on the drive up and about an inch of new snow at the mountain. Despite not arriving at the lower lot until 8:10AM it was a ghost town. The temperature was 21 degrees and there wasn’t much wind. The six pack was not operating..I ended up getting first civilian quad and went right to Razors which was great. It was a carpet with an inch of Perd on top..I swear I had some float...Got razors a few more times still swaths of fresh on Razorback for quite some time...they were blowing crazy amounts of snow on dreamweaver and in the glades. Got fresh on X-ing and along the bumps still had some pow but the bumps were solid. I rode the lift a few times with the aggro older guy who was on first chair with me Jeff and root on Friday. He’s a retired teacher been retired for 14 years and going to Banff for three weeks in a few days and has skied in Japan but never Jackson hole. He was on his fat skis as was I and one guy on the lift was commenting saying we were optimistic and he said what do you mean today’s the best day of the season. Sidewinder was weird had lots of rollers on it..some might like it I didn’t. I was in the lot for about a half hour around 10-1030 and was surprised that my phone was actually getting two bars at 4G. No LTE like 99% of everywhere so I at least could surf the interwebs while I had two beers and some steeze and pretzels alone. Was there when silver helmet guy booted up. He’s stealth but not as Stealth as ZZSlope. I talked to ZZSlope for a quick second in the corral before my second lift ride I told him Razors was good. Other familiar faces were GahSkier George and that chick that works at buckmans..went back out after beers made yellow snow bathroom on switchback is now messed up it’s just huge cookies..dafuk..snow still forgiving crowds still light despite schools being out longest I waited in line maybe five chairs..saw on the radar that heaviest snow was a ways off and snow totals cut in half and I already skied as much as I wanted to ski so I bugged out..stopped at Chic fil A on the way home and was behind a car with Jackson hole stickers in the drive thru..all in all was some great midweek skiing at Blue the true but I definitely take for granted having people to ski with. I think this was only my second solo dolo session this season. Got a good laugh out of that first picture. I enjoyed our short conversation. Really good morning, Skied with Ernie and Burt. All the trails I skied were great (except the solid bumps) Razors and Challenge were extra good, I thought sidewinder was fun. I rode the lift with the older gentleman you spoke of, his name is Bob, he is there in the first chair crowd almost every day. 2 Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 My next ski day is probably Friday afternoon. Think the glades will be good? Asking for a friend. 2 1 Quote

Asking for a friend. Yes!!! There’s a nice cornice forming above blue bomber..I’d do a few pole whacks first for stability before dropping in. 1 Quote
