What a freakin' joke. I drove 20 minutes to Tussey, got my skis and boots ready and now the resort is closed again due to "chair lift broken". But the website says the black expert and blue square trails are open.
Big let down Tussey. Very, very disappoint. 0 out of 10 stars. I'd give negative stars if possible.

Sounds grate. How were the glades? Asking for a friend @Ski2Live Live2Ski

I really hope Tussey Mountain snow resort gets their act together by tomorrow. Right now only the green circle is open and costs $27. WTF?.

Keep Us updated, I remember when you talked about getting like $60 A day to buy food on the road and free breakfast at hotel, cheap lunch you have enough left for a legit supper like a hoagie from Walmart plus other snacks.
Some fancy shrimp with cocktail sauce in Milroy, PA. I think @tarponhead says always order seafood as far from the coast as possible. These shrimp were probably caught fresh from the bountiful streams flowing from Tussey Mountain.

Dont be a hater, lucky to get even one day like this at Blue a year.
I didn't get a day like this at Blue this year, so I'm gonna hate hate hate. But I did get sum perder at Vermont which was nice, so I ain't even mad

The melting here is extreme right now..melting from above and below since the ground isn’t frozen and the sun is so strong
All the melting snow will be really grate for the snow making retention ponds. Maybe the ponds will be full enough to get Upper Sidewinder open by February 31!

OMG if you missed today..... just wrapping it up. ROTD first run on Switchback then Upper Sidewinder. STOKED!
I heard it wasn't so good because it was wet heavy snow and not light fluffy champagne powder.

Lift closed at Tussey. Maybe they are getting chair lift consultation from Camelback? All that fresh pow pow at the top of the very high mountain top will be radical once they open. I think Tussey is your favorite name for a ski mountain as it sounds kind of like Tushy.

Nice @saltyant nice to know you’re back on the road. You’re a Hampton inn guy right?
No preference, but I try to stay away from the cheap places like Econolodge

Press F to pay respects to poor folk at Camelback who cannot ski the Nile Mile perder today

Maybe I'll ski Tussey tomorrow night as I'm working nearby. I think they got one or two inches of perder. Get stoked!!!

Nice real time updates JFDan!!! My FOMO is starting to kick in. Definitely a day for the fat skis
Maybe a snorkel too. Good thing I have Elan Ripsticks for this weekend to ski all the fresh powder stashes in the glades!!!

Oh man, riding up the quad first thing was like getting off a plane in Florida in the winter! The warmth smacked you right in the face.
Going over NMDW, the grooming was impressive and rode that first thing. Wow! The two turns were a hoot and didn’t really see the mini booter halfway down until I was in mid air.
Barney’s needed a bit of slipping to scrape off the crust to let the warmth turn them hero which it did after about an hour. Ended up lapping them until lunch. Everyone was complaining about how outta shape we all are from not skiing bumps all season.
After lunch headed back out for a few more mashed potatoes runs. Right side of CS had some good snow and Lazy was thick and deep with it.
Legs are pretty shot from today’s conditions.
Seeing some dirty snow on lower Upper Main Street. What's up with that?

That looks huge and I bet that’s taken from like 5,000 feet??
Correct - 6,000 feet above sea level (per diagram below) minus 1,000 feet elevation = 5,000 ft. Grate job

@GrilledSteezeSandwich one of the local hill stations made it on Reddit. Can anyone guess the mountain?
-
@DiMe I'm hella jell-o. First time at Killington? That mountain has a special place in my heart as it was my first big mountain. It's where I took my profile avatar picture. Each run there is like a magical journey through trails like Dust Bunny Buster, Launch Pad, and my favorite, Grate Eastern.
Bear Cub sucks though. Fudge that stupid run.

Grate Idea SaltyPecker..the race team kids are a bunch of wankers, don’t worry they’ll discover sex, drugs or snowboarding soon and stop racing bahahah
Grate. I'll propose a trade to the leader of the race team clan. Maybe I'll throw in a couple of Captains Wafers to sweeten the deal.

Grate idea. We should trade the race team Razors Edge for the Burma Road. They can have the whole Burma Road all season long and practice their super G turns.

366 this year.
I love how their website says "36 trails open", but doesn't specify that only 34 are open to the public. Fake news!! False advertising!!

Nah we should motivate Salty to ski more. I agree with Momskeeze
When I started skiing it was almost exclusively night skiing because it was cheape, like $20. I didn't have any season passes. Now that I've seen the light at how much better early morning skiing is on fresh courdoroy, the icy and sugary slopes of night skiing are far less appealing.

Is there a gofundme for Blue so they can buy light bulbs? Keeps getting worse and every trail we were on have sections out.
A grate reason to ski only in the daylight times.

Tussey Stoke Thread... 2024!!

Tussey is a disaster zone! College students can't get their lessons in and some are hiking up the steep slopes. I say, screw you guys, I'm going home.
