Popular Post toast21602 Posted January 16 Popular Post Report Posted January 16 Today was good. Snow covered groomers were good. More trails open was good. The place looking like winter was good. Foot was not good but managed 5ish runs before heading back to work. 7 2 1 Quote

Popular Post Johnny Law Posted January 16 Popular Post Report Posted January 16 Best day at blue all season, what used to be an hr but is now 1 1/2 hr drive became 2 1/2 but it was worth it. Everything is good but pdis was an absolute carpet, almost silent skiing which is rare at blue. Lazy was efortless arc and park as it was a hair slow but still most excellent. Crowds weren't bad first thing but they were definitely picking up throughout the morning. No matter my age there is still something about waking up to snow, the bizarre weirdness of it, the sublime beauty and the transformative nature but even that is not as good as showing up to the hill and it actually looks like skiing. 12 2 Quote
Popular Post mute1080 Posted January 16 Popular Post Report Posted January 16 Made it up for the first hour. Roads weren’t bad, most of the people driving on them were the biggest delay. First Falls of the year was pleasant surprise. We all seemed to have to same thought to try and pop off the top but there is zero lip. Nice to have trails getting wider and people able to give each other space. 12 Quote

I bought my Crosstrek from the same place in Allentown. They delivered it to my trailer near MacAdoodle which was rad. I wouldn't want to go back to a low clearance vehicle or even worse a Chevy ever again. 1 1 Quote

Boo Bear Posted January 16 Report Posted January 16 Becky boo and I made it up around 1030 this morning. Four short runs later little one was ready to go. She was discouraged by the scrape spots she kept hitting on lazy. I had fun playing off to the side though. Headed back up for adults only session. 7 Quote
Jrwit Posted January 16 Report Posted January 16 Great ski day. Low lines, mini pow day. Main Street still had its ice softballs and crud, made carving a pain. Freefall was excellent, no popping off the lip of falls, but the snow was overall good and everyone in a good mood 7 Quote

You and TP4 most dedicated PASRs..even though I didn’t ski today I enjoyed clearing the snow off my car, and doing some easy shoveling at work..yes it was light..and amazing that this very cold forecast is going to save the ski season..bigly..thanks Mother Nature..

momskeeztoo Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 Today was amazing. That’s all I’m saying. 8 Quote
theprogram4 Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 Rode from 9:30-2:30. Very fun riding natural snow. Like Jlaw said, being in the ambience of natural snow is great. Said hi to toast on the way out. Drive took much longer than usual as lots of traffic on 30 bypass and northeast extension. Roads were surprisingly bad in chester county, surprisingly good in Montgomery county, and ok in Lehigh valley. Luckily the focus is a beast in the snow 9 Quote

I would have been happy with it being bumped up but I guess we didn’t get enough snow. Blowing on Chute and Widowmaker was noticeably new to me while still hitting the same trails they had going this morning 4 1 Quote
