@saltyant this is getting good. If Shawnee is open on root Friday and blue is not I’ll ski there. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

For first chair at Blue you just have to ski faster than atomic Jeff.  It might change this season. It’s crazy they camp out for first chair at Vail

Yes they certainly are. Definitely on Vista. Can't tell where else at the moment.

It’s a winter wonderland @Mont Bleu

Would love to use an Indy Pass day skiing at least the Pennsylvania trail with my girls on Black Friday to start their 10th skison.

Camelback blew last night too. Pics on their FB page. Nice for stoke that everyone is getting after it first chance they got.

It’s snowing at Blue and sort of snaining here in the dirty south whitehall

Kmart opens Thursday for passholders.  Thats just down right incredible, considering the rain over the weekend wiped out what they had prior.  Thats a biggly snowmaking system.

Shawnee announced 11/25 opening via a video with folks standing in newly made snow.

Expect I will be either there with girls or Hunter on my own that day.

Every year I say I'm not going to let the ski season creep up on me and every year I am surprised how quickly ski season arrives and how unprepared I am. See you goons soon.

Yeah.  i had it in my mind it was gonna be December before things got going, but with the temps the next couple of days, they might be able to open Vista if they put thier minds to it pretty soon.  

My skis desperatly need a tune.  i know @Benm 's 2x4's were way better off in that department, regardless of whether it was ski wax or floor wax.

Great thinking. Should next years model be made of hardwood floor scraps?

If you can't get your skis tuned in time you can always bring out those D-skis. Those should still have a freshly bedazzled tune on them.

this year im thinking of just pieces of sheet metal with something supportive so it doesn't have to be too thick (maybe 2x4s epoxied on top).

i won't need to worry about having metal edges.

those d-skis were phenomenal.

The D skis look like something that somebody that likes D would wear.

Here’s an oldie but goodie but I’m not big on stereotypes except for the race kids, they’re a bunch of Jabronies

If you sort of drug the inside tail when turning so it got a shit ton of bite you could do the equivalent of handbrake turns with skis.....revolutionary ski design and I don't even think he used a ruler
