Pops and I were up at dark ass o'clock to catch the "flight" out of Allentown to Philthy. 6:05 departure so we left for ABE about 4:30. Didn't want to mess with missing the bag cutoff or anything. After checking in and checking bags we had about a 45 minute wait until boarding. The bus ride to PHL was uneventful and comfortable. Luxury bus, seats as good as the back of most planes. Charging ports at each seat and air vents and reading lights like a plane. Since all ticketed passengers showed up early we departed a bit early and made it to PHL nice and early with no traffic. Drops off at F terminal so security was a real breeze. I have Pre so even more so. Through security in about 3 min for me and 10 for Pops and we jumped on the shuttle to B. Grabbed some gummy Starburst and Mentos for the plane amd a SEC on pretzel roll from Auntie Anne's to eat at the gate. Flight left on time and no issues on the flight. Love those newer big overheads where rollers can sit on edge instead of flat. No storage space drama at all on this flight. NEXT ‐ Airport to the resort, or "Where the f$*# are your skis?"

When there’s not really a race but you still want to shut down some slopes . . .

I know that's a popular opinion, I think the opposite. If they don't get the rest of the mountain open, then the high traffic on the trails they do have are just going to have them beat to shit in 2 hours on a weekend morning anyway. They've been blowing for 48 hours, and it will be another 60+ before they have to shut the guns off. They could have expanded.

I'm disappointed that they aren't trying to open more runs

Will be up there Saturday while the kids ski, but not planning on skiing. Plan to have my gear all packed to leave at 430 Sunday morning. So obviously not Sunday.

Will be there Saturday until at least 1230, lol. Pops under the weather so he's out this weekend. Sunday will depend on how good Saturday is, or isn't.

Depends on what you could get it for. Cheap enough, and get some years out of it, the value loss doesn't sting so much. I'm starting to wonder how many more mega warehouses they'll put in Allen Township before my property value plummets . . .Maybe there will always be a strong resale market for people who work at the mega warehouses

I like the red rope tow in the middle

Yeah, they bought that a couple years back. They grow food there for Slopeside in the green season and gave hayrides over there to there during Oktoberfest. They have a decent amount of land over that way, more on the top than the bottom. Would have to continue to swing trails wide then bring them back for the runout

I'd love to see a live cam, with sound of course, of Matt Edge's classroom for one day

I like the Blue Mountain cameo in the pic on Camelback

The beginning is actually Big Pocono. Uncle Bills is just the narrow bit off to the left that comes back around to rejoin Big Pocono

Definitely both days. Probably not cooking with iffy weather Sunday. We'll see.

Of course that's the RIGHT way to do it . . but that's why I said "at least". 😂 $20 charge after one "courtesy replacement" (if you are lucky, it seems) isn't even the least

Pass holders should at least get a "replacement credit" on their account for every year they haven't needed a mid-season replacement.

Blue owns all three of those parcels. The one directly to the left of then on BM drive is the one owned by PPL.

Half a million. I found it on a property transfer website somewhere, posted this in GSS’ 12/12 daily report thread when he started talking about it: Apparently D Scott Curzi lived in Pburg all his life until he died in 2009. Famous Pburg high wrestler and a historian. His son sold the lot to Blue in August: Justin Scott Curzi to BMR Resort LLC, Denver, Colorado, property at 415 Blue Mountain Road and Lot 1, Richard A. Person Subdivision, $500,000. EDIT: link https://www.tnonline.com/20220811/carbon-county-property-transfers-838/

Fuckin Stephon Diggs couldn’t stay on his feet for 5 more yards . . .

Was going to comment the same, could see it from the road near my house over by the airport. Big cloud over there this afternoon

I think you mean Mrs Garrett or Scott Steiner

I guess I didn't win one of the coveted 6 seats on the first chair. Not sure how I go on after this disappointment

Keep forgetting mine is sitting in my spam folder. May pick up some bindings there to replace the demo bindings on the 88s

I like that they slowed the video down to give a good look at the skid marks
