    Yeah it’s super rad. The Impreza just doesn’t have enough ground clearance.  

    I bought my Crosstrek from the same place in Allentown. They delivered it to my trailer near MacAdoodle which was rad. I wouldn't want to go back to a low clearance vehicle or even worse a Chevy ever again.

    I hereby propose a new trail be cut from Lower Main Street straight to the chair. Move Burma trail* and all the beginner area across the street. Then MattEdge could rip all day long and not even have to slow down.

    * Or build a ski bridge like Killington did at several intersections. Those are rad

    Condition report list Falls as open today, so that's nice. Nice to be able to use it from Lazy to avoid the choke on Shuttle from now on

    That's great. I will not miss the Choke and having to ski through the terrain park with unpredictable people around after skiing the Lazy Mile.

    Now we'll only have to contend with that nonsense after skiing Widowmaker, Chute, Switchback, Upper Main Street, Middle Main Street, Lower Main Street, Even Lower Main Street, Vista, Come Around Park, Burma Road, Little Gap, and Barney's Bumps for bumpers like @indiggio

    I completed the survey and gave everything a perfect score except for this issue.

    You should have buzzed by Greek Peak while you were in the neighborhood.

    I was just along for the ride and sadly Greek Peak was not near the magenta line.

    You guys went pretty far north today. Did you stop anywhere or is that a pretty easy round trip?

    We flew up to Sydney, NY for some cheap aviation fuel and I got a coffee from the FBO.

    One of the first times me and Matt Edge hungout together was MLK 2015 back when he had his charger or challenger some sort of badass ride before the Venza. It was the typical MLK day, dead for opening bell but got busy but not presidents weekend busy or Shitshow Sunday Stupid…

    We had a beer or two in lower lot and skied some more then he was parked in upper lot so went to his car and had an ice cold stone IPA

    That's rad. I hung with Matt Edge in the lower lot today with Schiffdawg for 20 minutes and drank some hot coffee which was grate in the icy cold weather. It was a very low key PASR day in the lot with no one around when I returned to my car at 10:15.

    @MattEDGE was getting after it on Main Street. Saw him ripping down several times and getting some mad air. Saw @ridge a few times also. I didnt care for the lone Snow gun on Main St so I preferred Midway which was niiice, especially when the sun hit it. TCS was as hard as a brick.

    Not skiing today cause letting foot heal and of course when it rains it pours, car won’t start.  Better now than in 8 days when I’m heading to the Newark airport. 

    Go see an expert bootfitter / podiatrist. My right foot was excruciatingly painful for the first several weeks of the season. I am thrilled to be skiing completely pain free the last 2 times out.

    @saltyant this is fantastic. 

    It is. I don't know why the guy in yellow looks so cranky though. I hope they have complimentary Hot Cocoa guy tomorrow. Maybe this will entice @Ski2Live Live2Skito ski Blue Mountain resorts tomorrow with us for the bargain price of $161.

    Wow just wow isn’t that a game and a pizzeria place… @saltyant are you gonna play skiing tomorrow or mlk day at Blue??

    I'm thinking MLK day at Blue the True.  Compared to tomorrow, Monday = no race team, better perder conditions, maybe sunny skies, no wind, maybe more trails open??

    A while back I skied MLK day and it was rad. Lapped Razors all day long and not a BMR in sight.

    When this thread started on this grate day I rated it 4 out of 5 stars because Stevenson lift was sleeping for one hour late. 😴 Then I hiked up to Nile Mile which was so dang radical so that earned 1 additional star. Now this thread is average at only 3 stars. What gives?? It should be at least 6 stars for being first civilian down Nile Mile for the season after a strenuous hike in ski boots and carrying skis and polls.

    What about the Sullivan lift?  That’s where the steeps are. Maybe the Stevenson was closed due to winds.  I don’t understand what Sullivan and Stevenson have to do with Egypt. 

    Sullivan lift worked grate today unlike last weekend when it was too cold for it from the snow flakes. Wind wasn't a factor. Maybe they forgot how to push the ON button 💁

    I think the lifts are named for that time when Ed Sullivan and his son Steven explored Egypt on camelback in 4000 BC

    BMR was on main like flys on shit this morning.  At least they kept it open to the public though and I'm fine with sharing, it's caring.

    I guess enough people complained about them taking Coming Soon last weekend that they moved them to Main Street. 

    I love Windowmaker to Chute and typically the race team gets only half of Widowmaker so I can still go down on the left side. I don't complain about that
