  1. Thanks for update. Think I will be heading back to Hunter tomorrow. Will hit JF once they have more open.
  2. Had good fun yesterday doing 17 runs with the twins on soft but full coverage conditions on Minya Hellgate Belt and Overlook. Best conditions were Overlook (surprisingly) and it was nice that it was served by an express lift as Flyer went down for day at 10ambig turns. Widening out to 7th Ave was fun for big turns. Lovin that my teens are speeding down blacks at Hunter all day long skiing as hard as I am. A great reward for all invested over 10 years getting them to this level as we start their 1qth skison.
  3. Cross between humor and pointing out some truly dumb stuff that ski areas spend $ on which happens to be more relevant to a discussion about lights than most other things posted here. Maybe start a definition of humor thread. Try to stay on topic.
  4. And speaking of lights the prospect of shifting colored lights on blue's snow tubing runs is super exciting. I expect skiing will soon be yesterday's news in Palmerton unless Blue upgrades their lighting to similar standards mountain wide
  5. Looks like JF for me Sat unless Hunter dodges the rain on Sat or Sun. Will stay home Fri. Not burning a Vaca day for this level of skiing.
  6. Not bad - that is 4-5 distinct runs if they pull it all off And I can see how they would count 13
  7. It doesn't matter really - that was a joke. But I am a diehard upper lotter since before there was a lower lot. Little Gap class of 1981. Yeah I'd rather be at Hunter if rain doesn't force my hand
  8. Worth paying to ski that over Jane's and One Park at Frost if Hunter is a washout. Want to get all the skiing I can in for my girls before we hit Beaver Creek 12/23
  9. $57 for a 4hr ticket is quite reasonable. Actually may show with the teens if 1. The current forecast holds with much less chance of rain in PA than in NY or VT 2. There is a worthwhile trail offering compared to JF (which will only have 2 blue runs with 400' vertical). 3. They open the upper lot If the briefly posted 13 trail count holds true, what do folks think the offering will be? I'm sure some will be of negligible interest like Tuts, Homestretch, Crossing . . .
  10. I expect to switch to Ikon next year as I consider both Blue and Cbk to be "better ones closer to me" than JF
  11. Epic has 8 PA ski areas - which I believe is more than they (or Ikon) have in any other state I wish they had better ones closer to me. Of the non-Ikon ones the most appealing additions would be Montage or Elk
  12. Neither dead nor all that innocent but won't make opening day at Blue. Might be at Hunter, Snow or Okemo depending on where it's not raining this weekend. Hope it's good enough weather to only go as far as Hunter. JF's opening with very limited terrain is not tempting.
  13. It was there before. Can't find it now.
  14. Posted on FB they will have 13 trails when they open. Nice!
  15. Had a little snow sticking to the lawn and car in Central NJ. A pleasant sight
  16. So go ski Bear Creek. I get being too lazy to drive to Belleayre or Hunter, but that's in your back yard.
  17. Still no lines at midday. And nice conditions on Belt and Hellgate on down. Looks like next to open will be Minya and Overlook. Clam Chowder lunch in foreground.
  18. Real nice day at Belleayre. A couple inches of soft snow on top of the base on Deer Run. Headwalls on Seneca and Peekamoose were a bit slick. Rode the Gondola 12× with line always under 2 minutes, never getting as far back as the RFID gates.
  19. Got our Belleayre tix for Friday! $218 for 3 (including the RFID cards). Keeping the streak alive - 8 years in a row of skiing in November. First time my kids will do the driving.
  20. Belleayre will be top to bottom for Black Friday Ski ya there
