    Late night offer I couldn't refuse....20230311_182219.thumb.jpg.ae1000b2f72bcbb3a3bef64f3203672d.jpgSame size as my other FT..but has a shorter BSL..by 12mm....I know shit about bindings...Anyone know if that difference can be adjusted out in the binding...Really don't want to do a remount...would rather by new skis/bindings

    Any opinions on bindings...Mostly resort ...Maybe 10% off resort if that....

    Out of the box they feel good...They're hella stiffer than my old boots....I'm psyched... 

    You'll be able to get 12mm out of most bindings, typically all in the heel so you'll be a bit more forward that before. Do you know what bindings you have now?

    What do you look at for the weather forecast? I looked at Wunderground for Palmerton and Blakeslee, and Blakeslee looks better. Tomorrow I'm planning on going where the snow is, though if it's wet and heavy snow that isn't much fun.

    Whatever the widget on my phone or tablet links to. I think it's AccuWeather. I thought I saw a winter storm advisory for us and a warning for further south. If your forecast above becomes reality then definitely JFBB is the move. 

    Side note. School's are closing early. 

    Depends on if you think skiing 3 inches of fresh snow on Frost's terrain is better than skiing an inch of fresh snow on Blue's terrain. Especially with maybe two weekends of skiing in PA left, I know what I would pick. Also have to factor in free lunch tomorrow in the Vista ballroom (don't forget to RSVP!)

    I just looked up the exchange rate is $1.38 Canadian to $1 US.  Id definitely hit up a Canadian ATM would be rad to take out $200 and only have $140 disappear from my account.   
     

    Props to Indiggio for a top notch report!!!  Probably the second best one of the season. 

    Yeah, Corbett's has some really nice deals right now, helped by the exchange rate. 

    Although the prices on some of their skis was apparently a mistake and went up after the first few hours. Should have jumped when I saw it . . .

  4. Figured might as well get an official thread started, we've had some lot talk about it but nothing concrete. 

    Is 3/19 general consensus for the best date for Gaper Day? Or do we want to wait and see if/how much snow they make this week before ruling out the 26th?

    Mountain fest is only Friday/Saturday so Sunday should be ok

    Let me know if you go.  I'm planning on it as of right now, although I may only be there until 12 or so on Sunday

    Yeah, looks like we are going to hit Montage tomorrow. Wish they had a trail report posted that was newer than Thursday though

    Actually, we're out on Montage. Looked up those promo tickets I bought and this whole weekend is blacked out. We'll be at Blue.

  7. Finally got the kids out for a night session. Really enjoyed the snow. Grayson's first run down Coming Soon tonight, he crushed it, for a pizza turner anyway. Best moment of the night for me was when we split up and he and Pops did Widow Midway Lower while Bubba and I did full Main. Stopped to wait across the intersection while Pops sent him ahead down Midway and as he got to Main he did a full, unprompted, head-turned uphill clearance check. So proud, lol.

    Anyone know what to do for a kid turning 10 by Dec?  We both had all access passes but between being in Philly, the late start and lousy weather , and traveling a bunch with our Ikon passes , we.really haven't used the passes we bought last spring enough.  My other kid is 5 so the kid pass was a good deal for her, which would convince me to re-up for myself just to get her access to that.   But really tough to justify the 675 for an almost 10.year old.  Anything I'm missing here or is that the only option?  Thanks all and glad to see snow again!

    That's the only option, unless you can get by with an off peak pass.

    Buy it now for the discount before the kid turns 10.....

    They won't sell it to him. They specifically spell out that kid has to be 9 at the end of December.

    Does Blue make parents prove their kid is under a certain age or is an honor system?  

    They do. At least, they did for the free 4 and under pass. I haven't bought Grayson's child pass yet, so can't say 100% for sure, but given that they have in the past, I would bet on it.

  9. Today was Pops triumphant return to slopes after his fall busted his knee up a couple weeks ago and we put in a pretty decent session then visit Last Run Lounge for an hour or so before picking the boys up from Adventure Camp.

    Super variable conditions all over the mountain but tried to find the best of it wherever we went. 

    Pizza party tomorrow..
