I talk to elderly people almost daily and most are fully vaccinated and most had no effects to the second dose...my bro in law who’s 145 pounds and 5’11 had the one dose Pfizer vaccine and he was sick for three days but he gets sick multiple times a year. Dose one just sore arm and dose number two I peed a lot and had a medium hangover...didn’t miss any work...my mom asked me if I took my temperature and I’ve never owned a thermometer...
You know there's not a one-dose pfizer vaccine, right? They might be doing a trial for that, I dunno, but as it currently stands, the CDC recommended dosing schedule is two doses ~3 weeks apart.

Do it, you won’t. Maybe some of your fellow Jersian’s would join you (cough [mention]GSSucks [/mention] cough [mention]RootDKJ [/mention])I hope to not have to descent into mall madness until June.

Well if the rumors are true and Blue and Camelback are already owned by the same company, a Camelback pass would either be a bonus at best or irrelevant at worst.
Depends. How much control do said new owners have over Blue? We've all seen how Camelback is run; I don't want that. If nothing materially changes at Blue, you've now got let's say twice as many people with a valid Blue pass, so how many more people does Blue get on a given weekend once people start to realize that Blue is a shit show, but considerably less of one than Camelback? Like I said previously, I don't see how this materially affects the majority of PASRs in any positive way. There will be flaming ski poles and bigfeet if the no tailgating rule gets implemented.

You're right. I'll ride a bike or surf instead.

My first shot had more of a reaction then the second. Arm soreness, balance seemed a little off, and felt hot but no temperature this round.Interesting, I kinda had the balance thing too and I've never had that from any other vaccine before. It was definitely weird. Now that I think about it, it kinda felt like I had a bad hangover, and I purposely didn't have any beers the night before so as to not confuse symptoms haha

Boo skied the next day after her second shot. HTFUBlue's gonna be closed, so it's gonna be a little hard for me to ski on a tuesday unless I go to the mall

Camelback's owners also own Blue now, right? Maybe they can do a Blue/Camel multi pass for ya'll.
There is nothing I could care less about in the grand scheme of the skiing world than a combo pass with camelback.

I mean... I wouldn't say @indiggio made it up. I've heard similar things from at least three other completely unrelated sources at this point. Something's going on, and it sounds like pretty much the worst/most useless outcome for those of us who don't give a crap about a hotel or improved lodge. Hopefully whatever's going down at least comes with a terrain expansion to spread out all the new season pass holders.

What were the common symptoms (nausea etc.)? I go next week.My 2nd is on monday. I plan on stocking up on gatorade and smoothies and not being able to get out of bed for 24 hours. First shot gave me a dead arm for like two days, a headache for about 24 hours, and swollen lymph nodes for a few days. Fully expected to be absolutely wrecked by round two.

Stowe is the best in the east. Whistler was the first place I skied out west. Travel is difficult and snow can be iffy due to the low elevation...a YouTube channel I watch onecutmedia takes place in whistler and this season has been incredible for the locals as foreign tourists haven’t been allowed there so basically every powder day has been a sleeper.
what about traveling to whistler is difficult? there's flights out of philly and newark to vancouver every day. you get there, rent a car, and drive 2 hours up one of the most scenic roads i've been on, stop for beer/liquor in squamish on your way, and then once you're in whistler you leave your car parked underground for the week unless you're lazy or not staying within walking distance and feel the need to drive to the blackcomb mid station.

Might be interested in my first and only evening session of the year on Thursday if my day goes well. Should be pretty warm.

I would think not, if it's structured the way we think it is w/ EPR Properties "buying" Blue and then leasing out the operations to another company like KSL or Vail or just leave existing Blue management in place to run it.
I'm guessing that structuring it that way probably creates a pretty good separation between EPR and liability issues like this one, since EPR just funds the mountain and the operator assumes liability.shell companies the whole way down

people can always bail if they make the mistake, isn't there a little crossover there at the very top to jump back into lower sidewinder???
yes. do you really know you made a mistake until you're halfway down sliding head first on your back though?

I brought this up on the lift Sunday (forget exactly who was with me) about how people make the right turn at the bottom of sidewinder and end up on falls because they don’t read the signs.
i swear there used to be netting and signage there signifying that falls was a double black diamond, and you kinda had to deliberately go there and not just end up there by chance like you can now. you can kinda make a pretty good educated guess about what lurks below if you're following people you trust and know their skiing instincts. i'm honestly surprised they don't have a patroller just lurking at the top waving to slow people down if there's carnage below.

What's your biggest complaint? I'm just wondering, it's not like I have stake in the company or something. Most of the complaints I've read on here are that there are waterslides and that the place has a "circus" vibe, though those arent relevant to me in the slightest
And I do realize you've all been skiing way way longer than I, so I assume CB must have wronged you all somehow in the past??
My biggest complaint in general has been unfriendly to borderline rude employees. Not sure if they still have the courtesy patrol people or not, but being screamed at for skiing switch on an empty trail isn't giving off the most friendly and welcoming vibe.

Although they are for charging for parking (at peak times), what else has Camelback done to be called "assholes"? I had a grate time there one week ago, and zero complaints 🤷🏻♂️
You really wanna go there? I'm sure I'm not the only one here with a list.

it seems like someone who doesn't like to use the shift key.
i've only noticed one other person on this board besides myself who types like that.
Interesting. A certain individual on this forum from my understanding only goes on this site with his phone, and the iphone does a pretty good job of autocorrecting capitalization so that might muddy the investigation a bit. I probably look like I have split personalities based on my inconsistence use of initial caps in sentences.

Oh I'm sure they are going to be upset, but at the same time they would have to be paid out for anything that they had saved up.
I think things will remain fairly status quo regardless of what this new company wants to do. Palmerton has got to be a constrained labor market so it's got to be difficult to replace anyone and they will find out quick if they try to lowball the people that do work there and if they walk away it will be difficult trying to backfill them if they offer too little.
This is an interesting point to me, and it kinda seems like it played out a little bit with the Vail purchase of other smaller east coast areas. In their normal takeover scenario, lets say somewhere like whistler, you're not really relying on the local talent pool to fill jobs loading lifts, cleaning tables, making fries, etc. They fill those jobs with J1 visas (probably not called J1 in canada but whatever). People are traveling from elsewhere around the world to work there because it's whistler, it's awesome, and anybody who wants to ski bum it for a year or two wants to be there. That's not the case with blue. It sounded like JFBB was having a hard time staffing up this year. I could see blue running into similar problems if whatever is going down ends up pissing off a bunch of the current employees to the point of them not wanting to or being invited to come back. Obviously all speculation at this point until something concrete is announced.

I checked the usuals...Pocono record, NEP and nada. I really want to know how the people on that lift are. Thanks lift blog for the insight thus far.
Send an insider tip to your girl cecily. She probably hates camelback too.

In addition to the two bottles of champagne I bought two different kinds of sausage. One has some sort of cheese in it which is my favorite because the flavors explode in your mouth.
there's a joke in there somewhere...

Machine wax is all but gone in a day, especially with abrasive spring snow. The machine is great for scraping/burnishing in the wax, but not really for actually applying it. I get varying degrees of nerdy with it depending on the skis, snow, and how many beers I feel like drinking in the process. Everything will be getting a coat of swix CH10 before this weekend. Don’t really have a good wax setup at my house yet so it’ll probably be the quick and dirty crayon method then iron and scrape out in the back yard.
