Did a drive by on the way to Mertztown. The pond was slightly higher,the outer parking lots were filled and everything looked open. I haven’t  skied there this year so no conditions report.

Took my 7 year old out for a couple hours yesterday (our third outing together this year after he broke his leg at Spring Mountain last year doing the Sunday night learn to ski program; result of being mismatched with a more advanced group and shitty rental bindings that didn't release).  Conditions were great and place was empty until ski clubs started busing in around 4. Warmed up on Broadway to work on some turns and then lapped Timberline/Kodiak until he worked up the courage to give his first black run a go (Bear Trap, great success). Lifties were rocking out to 1/2/16 Phish @ MSG so all around a nice afternoon.

Enjoyed some tasty wings before we headed home and got to people watch the most awkward table of high school boys ignore each other for an entire meal.

Nice report and are those teenagers sitting at a full service restaurant?  What happened to cafeterias at ski areas 

Ya weird vibe. Someone's dad kept checking in on them with a cocktail in hand before disappearing back into the bar.

When I was in high school we used to crash the restaurant all the time. Prices weren't that much different from the cafeteria and sometimes it was so crowded that was the only place to find a place to sit.

Seems about right. That looks almost as nice as the four seasons in Jackson hole.  This morning at 10:20am the cocktail cart was open at Blue mountain and was tempted to get a Bloody Mary but $15 could be better spent on some Uber eats appetizer..can’t have it all

 

sorry for threadjack…big props to your son for getting back after it after last season.  A famous singer once said what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  Why I ski the double black diamonds.
