@brm05 pay attention to this guy, and then buddy up to indiggio, and mbike....those are the 2 guys more so into bumps that i can think of off hand. Since bumps arent my bag, i'm not much help with your selection of skis for Blue, other than to tell you this.....i would lean towards a ski that gets decent marks for crud. I think this is what Jlaw is eluding to when he says it might not be doing you any favors. @brm05, you should buy ladies skis before considering these.

Stop. You know nothing about skis or gear. Now is not the time to try to make brother Doug laugh.

There is alot of bitching in this thread for pre thanksgiving turns, salty you gotta sack up dude Super stoked to ski sunday and drink beers. New guy the lots are for quiet study and meditation only LOL

Elk looking nice for mid November. Looks like they blew on Tunkhannock Susquehanna East west and probably Tioga. The rest is natural. Photo taken 11/15 at 4:30pm

Wow thanks! I only post for the likes!

Don't be the backpack beer guy.

p30 is a nicer old school carving ski but my guess it aint doing you no favors. How tall are you ? How much do you weight roughly ? What do you like about those skis ? What do you not like ? What do you want a new pair of skis to make easier ? Can you carve the ski ? If so what kind of radius do you like ? I have some skis, if you want to try some stuff out. If you want a pair of twins I have at least 4 pair you can straight up have. I have a pair of stockli stormriders too with bindings I've been trying to give away since last year that you could totally have. Do you know what size boot you are ?

@mute1080 do you know if Ryan will be there tomorrow? He usually has good beer. I'd hold off on getting any if he is going.

Only a few? I need to hit the beer store tonight

Posting for @Shadows

I love it when there's cloud cover looking down in the valley.

You're already starting with a new member @GrilledSteezeSandwich? Ignore him @brm05 or at least take his comments with a grain of salt. They don't appreciate tailgating in the upper lot, but the valley lot is for all the misfits and there they don't really care.

Cool shot from the early 1950's of the Lehigh Valley Transit Company's trolley in South Side Bethlehem at 4th and Wyandotte streets.

Was waiting for someone to say this. Dude better show up with triple x l tall tees and pontoons.

Dont tune them up on my account. They are, at this point, "community skis." The shreditors were a huge step up from the tiny noodle you started off with, but not a huge stiff Blue crud buster. I doubt we would get your big ass foot in my enforcers, but i think you might like them. You can demo from Blues shop, and i think they have a "try all you want all day" policy. If you think you might do that, go see what they have first, research, then ski. im a fan of the Line stuff as well, and i think some stuff in the Blizzard line up might suit you well. If you want something better than the shredditors in crud, i think you want to make sure it has camber, and i guess stiff in the front like Toast likes.

Tomorrow is gonna kick more ass than Chuck Norris....

That's a great picture of elk. I don't think I've ever seen that view before

Should be there for rope drop. May need to bail early but probably not the worst thing in the world given that the lines will have grown exponentially by then.

Those lines on the floor though...

Just need a neon pink belt and you are set.

Wow

I can support the decision for Sick Days. I enjoy mine for almost all conditions.

Keep in mind, conditions will be awesome tomorrow. for about 4 minutes. After those 4 minutes are the conditions you will most likely experience the most of at Blue.

Where the hell was i, and who was i with when some dude had beer just running out of his backpack? Sucks for him, but that was funny.

Yup, he’s coming and he’s stoked. I don’t know if he still drinks beer though, I think he’s hooked on the Claws. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And a few beers.

At this time tomorrow, we'll be a few runs deep. Think about that

Yeah the lot spacing down there makes it easier. Opening weekend with just the top lodge open is going to bring out all of the celebrations so hopefully they are expecting it again. For how crappy the run a lot of stuff it is surprising that they haven't made a bigger deal about lot festivities.

Always thinking of others. I like this about you.

Welcome brm05. I'll echo GSS and let the gear peeps guide you since a gear person I am not. I like how my skis ski so I stick to a certain width, length, brand etc. Funny thing is that the people here will probably put you on something suited for Europe better than the people in you European ski forum would. You came to the right place.

i'll be there sat AM. what's the parking lot like there in the morning? tailgating encouraged? my first year going. thanks.

I for sure wouldve poached those shots.

16 more hours.

well, i'm glad i got my maybe second set of skis lined up and not my primary set. at least i've already got my outfit ready to go, pretty sweet. what do you guys think.

If I were to decide to get a nice second set for casual skiing, i already planned on one of these two.

I would have been thinking, "better than the pink snow from when the groomer blew a hydraulic line".

You pick up quick.

I've heard tell of people being asked not to tailgate (cook food, grill) in the upper lot after the valley has opened, but it may also be due to how tight the roadways are up there.

It's all good. "The valley lot is for all the misfits and there they don't really care." That is exactly what I needed to know, thanks.

Like that chair, do ya?

They don’t encourage tailgating but it’s allowed. The parking lot has people putting on ski boots and taking them off..that’s what it’s like hehehehe

wtf?? Probably was Bridezilla insisting they shut the place down for her.

8 to have a beer and hugs in the lot.

Shit damn!!...new boots....

Fire is cool

Haoween is a Saturday next year. I propose PASR pre-season get together at my place whereby anyone who wants to can help me scare the shit out of little kids and then we can hang out after.
