I like to think of this TR as like a Steeze report tribute band. I've read so many excellent Blue Mountain TRs that I wrote this without even having to refer back to any Blue reports.

So did you get tacos? Did you get chance to vape up and read the report?

Hey all, Just got back from a fun session at Camelback, and it was the best session I had there all season. In da house were Enjoralas, Enjoralas's Dad, and many many others. I arrived at the CBK Lodge bright and early at 0828 and had the first civilian parking spot, which was only 26 steps from the snow. This spot was easily the best parking spot I've ever had at any ski resort. I skied down to the Stevenson Lift at 0846 and there were maybe 12 people in line already on the hotel side. But since they dilly dallyed around, I got the first civilian chair of the day which was sick and I only had to share it with one other dude. First run down Pocono Raceway was deeeeep - 3, perhaps 4 inches of fresh Powder. I gasped for air because I forgot my snorkel, but it was an amazing run. Then I did Nile Mile, which was groomed, and some other very exciting runs. Shortly before 1000 I ran into Enjoralas & his dad, and we did several runs together. Enjoralas referred to the new terrain park as a Toboggan Sled, since skier's left is narrow AF, and there's no barrier on the left to prevent accidental skiing into the woods. This trail was not so great and had thick ice sheets at the top. Rest of the trails got choppy, and there were moguls on all black runs, Cliffhanger (a true double black), and Big Pocono. Enjoralas did Big Pocono and then we did The Rocket together which was ROTD. Lots of nice fresh purd and not a whole lot of ice. Then we split and met up again later in the day, and I went inside for some coffee and a double Steezeburger. It was baffling because they put the sugar by the ketchup, outside of the cafeteria area, instead of next to the coffee, cream, stirrers, etc. A worker admitted it's a stupid arrangement. Overall it was a very fun day, one of the best of the skison without a doubt. Nile Mile and Julius Caesar became downright rowdy by the afternoon, despite being easy runs, with plenty of Rollers which gave me mad air (about 2 inches). I think it was gaper day because there were so many gapers. One guy was sitting right under a huge jump on Pharoah, in the blind spot. You know just hanging out. I heckled him and told him that's not the smartest place on the mountain to sit. Also getting off lifts was hard today, and 50% of lift disembarkings involved dodging fallen jerrys. Two interesting interactions on the lift. Some girl told me she works in an ER and sees traumatic brain injuries from skiing all the time, yet she doesn't wear a helmet so I called her out on that. Also some guy called me a giant fucking toolbag because I accidentally cut in line... I thought there were 3 people in the row I joined but there were 4, so I went ahead. This is the second time I accidentally cut in line, yesterday I did by accident at the Dollar General buying a giant bag of Meow Mix and some guy said "How Wude" or something. Maybe tomorrow I'll make it 3 in a row. Overall JADIP SU JO PO. Please post all dinner pictures and related discussions in the comments below:

Once I sit down I generally dont feel like getting back up. But OK!
-
That's just on Rocket. All the black diamonds and some blues look similar. They groomed several blue trails like Nile Mile, Moore's Ramble, King tut and Upper Cleopatra.
-
Oh yeah they said they got 8 inches here, but the lift ticket sales person didnt know which trails they groomed first.

Started at 9. They dont do it during the week and only for Super and Hero passholders.

PASR Does Jackson: Round 2 (ding ding ding)
saltyant replied to toast21602's topic in Other Mountains
Congratulations on Corbetts. Is this the first time anyone on PASR has done it? -
People are split on snow conditions today. Enjoralas doesnt like the snow either, whereas I think it's pretty ok.
-
Yep as bad as a weekend now, but this morning wasnt too bad. It sucks having lines on a Monday but the Purdur brought out all the Jersey folk.
-
Maybe tonight I'll write a report and then people can post their dinner pics or descriptions and/or any random off topic discussions in the thread!!!

I'm in the cafeteria got an $8 Double Steezeburger and a coffee. Hopefully when I go back out the line people are in here eating their Steezeburgers. Yes I met up with them and we did 7 or 8 runs together. ROTD was Rocket which Enjoralas and I did together and there was a lot of nice Moe Ghouls with just a few icy patches in between. I also liked King Tut a blue earlier but now it's starting to get a little more choppy due to voluminous traffic. I'll probably stay til 2 and call it quits JAY-DIP.

We didnt do it. It's narrow AF and has really icy spots. I dont care for narrow trails. But it's been a fantastic day at Camelback so far, I even got a few inches of untracked fresh down Pocono Raceway. I had the first civilian chair of the day and only had to share it with one other person. Taking a break, the Sullivan Lift line looks like a weekend which blows. I was hoping more skoolz would be not closed today.
-
Just pulled into the lot and it's empty. This is great! Cord looks just like western groomers. I asked the lift ticket people which trails they groomed first, you know for maximum stoke, and they were like "uhhhh they groomed all of them, we got 8 inches".
-
Nah, going to Camelback tomorrow. Didn't feel like packing, driving, etc. Plus the Poconos are supposed to get more snow than New York I think.
-
Nope, Runescape. Haven't played it in 10 years. The only games I play now are Age of Empires 2 and Simcity 4.
-
What happens if they check ID for the party? Do you have a twin brother??
-
Was Papasteeze the old Asst. Stats Mgr? I was hoping that guy would recognize me and say "wow, you're THE saltyant". I used to play an MMORPG using saltyant as the name, and also posted on a popular forum related to the game. Sometimes people in the game would recognize me from the forum, and I felt famous. Actually I think just one person did.
-
Wow it's always been my dream to serve as Assistant Stats Manager, I really hope that guy joins. If I see him next weekend I'll hand out the PASR flyer with the website address and list of top 10 in stats for the season.

saltyant replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Excellent sausage, especially the chili dogs. Thanks Enjoralas! Snow was decent on most trails except Lower Main... fudge that run. -
Thanks Steeze, if you decide to come we'll hold your spot in line at the Stevenson Lift so you can get fresh purdur on Nile Mile.
