momskeeztoo Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I just came in. Great conditions today 🙂. What a difference not a cloud in the sky this morning. Now complete white out. Quote
enjoralas Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 It was crazy down here in souderton. Extended my lunch by 15 minutes due to the vis and high winds, didn't want to try to drive in that, considering how bad the van was rocking in the wawa parking lot. Quote

The main problem is that as the temperature drops salt is not effective. Quote

The main problem is the drifting up here. Went from clear to snow covered roads real quick. Quite a few closed roads right now. Quote

RootDKJ Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Posted January 30, 2019 Today was a lot of fun. It was zero degrees when I pulled into the lot at 8:15. 1st few runs were pretty chilly, but with 5 layers, I managed to stay pretty warm. Razors was good for the 1st run, but quickly cookied up. Race team on Razorback and bottom headwall later in the morning. Challenge lasted a lot longer and was super grippy. ROTD was Main St, which was silky smooth, Lazy was almost as smooth as Main St. Switchback, NM/DW closed, Lower Sidewinder for resurfacing still. Sidewinder was had great snow, the rollers are starting to grow on me. Paradise wasn't that good. Around 11 it was full Toms, Dicks and Harry's. Plenty of idiots shredding the rocks, poaching Lower Sidewinder, and the marquee root. I wish I could have stayed longer for the entertainment value and the squall that moved through. I unfortunately had a 1pm appointment I needed to keep. 2 Quote

It We haven't let anybody new in for years since it takes years for the screening process and background checks to be completed. Maybe next ski season. I'll have @mute1080's background checks done in another year or so...then we'll finally vote to not allow him in. 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 Somebody on blues Facebook page complained that there was no powder yesterday at 5pm that it was all packed. Wow Quote
Kyle Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 Just saw on fb temporarily closed due to a power outage. Quote
RootDKJ Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Posted January 31, 2019 I was really tempted to go back this morning. I decided to do some "work" instead. Vista and Slopeside cams still work, but the Main St and Valley ones are out. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 They’re opening at 10am..that’s what their social media person told me on Facebook. 1 Quote
