  1. 4/2 Roll Call Last Day!

    in Camelback

    Posted

    2 laps off indoor Waterpark lift, Nile Mile, then something to something to Pocono Raceway. Nice coverage. Bone rattling frozen cord. A little variability in grooming, ledges, levels etc, especially in corners. No more than should be expected

    Anybody know if other season ticket holders qualify for first tracks at 730?

    It's the last day, they probably don't care. That being said 730am frozen cord doesn't sound great. 830 or 9 might be better. 

    I'll be rolling in around 8 or so.

    Yeah, hoping they don’t care. Limited on time so I’ll give it a try on the snow early. If not, we’ll see how strict their no tailgating policy is

    I feel pretty confident they aren't going to allow other mountain pass holders on for First tracks. We have to go to Guest Services to show our pass to get a ticket, so I'm sure it'll be a day comp that won't register as a SP and open the gates early, assuming they have it set that way to figure out who to let on easily at the lifts.

    is there a specific lot we are infiltrating? Tailgating sounds technical if we're spread out around the lots.

    Hopefully someone has beta on this and can share.

    Here is the parking map. Lot 2 and lot 3 are premium lots. Since they said free General parking, I expect these will still be pay lots. Lots 4,5,7,8 lots are normal paid or season pass lots that should be free tomorrow.

    Here is a satellite image. Red squiggles are premium. Yellows are free, green is lot 8, this is where i intend to park. It's down the hill back towards the hotel, right next to the beginner Sunbowl slope. It's actually the closest parking to the snow, but not the most convenient to the good lifts. Either have to ski over to the Sunbowl quad and catch a lift up to the new bubble, or down past it to the indoor Waterpark lift and ride thst to the top. That's probably my plan, with a Nile Mile run first, then a trip back up and head lookers right to get down to the other lift and see what's good over there.

    My plan is to arrive about 745, park down by Sunbowl, walk up in street shoes to GS for my ticket, then back down and boot up. I only have until about 1030 because Boy 1 has a soccer game at noon.

    I may be wrong  but I don't think you can exit from the back doors  on police cars ...also they will go broke paying for gas..

    But you can enter the back doors

    I was there for a very brief 8 runs. Was contemplating a few more only to come down to the quad broken down and a MASSIVE line for ME6. 
     

    2 runs earlier I rode the quad and it stopped twice for extended periods of time. Both times when it started back up it had that slipping feeling so I wasnt surprised to see it closed. 

    That sucked but they had it back up in like 20 minutes, so props to them for that. Someone said they had to change a belt.

    Sausage gravy and biscuits are ready to go.   Is anyone bringing a generator or inverter?  Otherwise I'll bring a small stove to reheat 

    Bringing the generator. Probably have the pizza oven to use as a heating oven if it makes sense for things

    Amazing that it was damp and chilly this AM with the snowmaking cannons blasting and now it’s 62 degrees out and I have my AC on in my car.  Don’t worry it will be cold for the party day 

    That looks accurate. @mbike-skistill bringing the fire pit? 😆

    So this Sunday is end of season party day?  I think everybody should just bring what they brought last year and if you weren’t at the PASR party last year things that can always come in handy are champagne, orange juice, red solo cups, beer, snacks, breakfast food, things to grill..electric scooters..karaoke machines…chairs.  

     

    I've got a bunch of meat, multiple types of sausage, maybe smash burgers. Some sort of steak. Barbecue meats. Cheese on the warmer this year is a Smokhouse Jack, Wegman's didn't have Raclette. Got some baby dills, potatoes for that. Possibly some other amuse bouche. 

    Happy to set the grill or griddle up in the morning if anyone brings something, but I'm not planning anything for breakfast.

    So is it definitely the 19th then?

    Seems like it. There's more people that can't make the 26th, and that chances not having enough snow

    I don't think it was confirmed that Sunday is the party, at least as of last weekend...I should be able to make it, but I thought @enjoralas was waiting to see if Blue announced a closing date

    Everyone seemed to think this Sunday was best. So that's what I've been prepping for. Seems just like the weather, a low "buzz" year vis a vis Gaper Day. 

    We'll have more meat than usual at the very least.

  23. New Purchases... What did you buy so far

    Shop said no go on the binding adjustment so prolly new skis/bindings..

    That stinks. I would've tried it myself anyway just to check. I haven't been impressed with the Blue shop this season.

    If you're shopping for new though I'll vouch for outdoorxl.com. I just got those Sender 94s from them, mounted with Pivot 15s for at least $100 less than I saw anywhere else, even with $80 shipping. And I ordered on Tuesday and they arrived Friday.

    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?

    I zoomed in, assuming for the ski in the back, looks like SPX 12. Pretty sure you will have enough range with that, and it's easy to adjust. If you're skiing/riding Blue tomorrow bring skis and boots and we can take care of it or rule out success at the very least
