Hell yeah! Good two days to be skiers in PA! Glad you were able to get the goods today @RidgeRacer!

[AtomicSkier]

Awesome.  This report is distinctly lacking in one department though ... someone screaming like a little girl skiing down Coming Soon.

Turnpike is just wet. Be at Bleu in half an hour. Anyone still there?

From there we went to coming soon which held plenty of untouched. The top part is flat but amazingly fun since it was deeeeeeep. The headwall hit and it was boner city to paradise. Skied that twice.
 

I'm putting forward a motion that the lower headwall of coming soon from here on out be referred to as Boner City. 

 

No good photos from me today. Too busy getting lost in the woods.

Is that the trees off of main? They were awesome first thing this AM when the doubles just started running. Seems like we timed that perfectly. Sorry you guys got my sloppy seconds on the T bar line 😘

That would be them.

This place is a zoo right now. The average age/demeanor could be described as Bud Light

Still super jelly, but I guess there are worse things then ripping western groomers all day.

 

Best part is my wife should have it all shoveled out by the time I get home.

[JFskiDan]

Damn, such a good day. I think the overnight snow was a little lighter than what we had for monday. No real lift issues today, i think we got going just after 9, so that was an improvement from yesterday. Skied around a lot, and got some real nice turns. 

Dom on coming soon. Gives you an idea of how wide this trail actually is. 
 

sloppy seconds wernt bad, at least in this case. 
 

bumps the size of volkswagons on falls when we left. Fun stuff.  
 

hopefully we get a refill this weekend.

today was fuckin batshit. i don't know how to explain it but it's as if they were both #1 days for me for different reasons. yesterday was sort of just enjoying powder for the first time and today was kind of no holds barred crazy. between having bumps everywhere mixed in with some untracked, getting lost in the woods, the mountains on falls, tbar line, seeing people skiing literally everything, it was just bonkers.

Hows the VIP line?

[Shadows]

I did see them slow the lift and push it back on track once. Love when shit barely works but gets it done.

I love Domenic’s face in that picture!

He almost always has a smile on his face. He's no @NMSKI, but he is still one happy dude. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

See that smile..he’s happy and he knows it...the hand clapping part Toast can take care of.

True story...I won best smile in my 8th grade graduating class year book.

Shit the best compliment I’ve received in recent years is that I have soft hands but apparently that can also be a diss..although came to me from a lady who was super into me..at least when her baby daddy wasn’t in the picture 😕

[Justo8484]

I'm sad I don't have more boner cities to give. @Benm nailed it. The untracked stuff might not have been quite as deep today as yesterday, but with coverage so good everywhere and everything in play, you could just ski so much more freely. You know it's gonna be a good day when you're standing in line waiting for the lift to spin and patrol announces to the crowd that they didn't groom everything, there's 4 foot drifts, and "just don't ski in the woods alone". Saw a few patrollers poaching some bike trails, so then all bets were off. Quad liftline hotlaps were 💯.

Seems like it was like skiing in vermont without the drive 

[Schif]

I cannot tell you guys how bummed I am right now. I know I shouldn't complain because I was able to get out but I was on the snow for an hour and 45 minutes tonight and only managed to get 4 runs in. 3 of those were fun dips into the woods but still. I felt like I had gotten to a steakhouse late, they had run out of steaks and I had to wait an hour for only a salad. 

[Shadows]

I mean...I definitely found rocks lol

A few years ago, we rode up with patrollers and specifically asked them about the woods/bike trails and they told us then that they're no longer restricted, so I guess technically skiing them anymore isn't considered "poaching".
