    Oh, I never beg for a gift card. If I'm not fully satisfied with a business, I demand a gift card, or else I will unleash my fury and wrath... By rating them 1 star on Google! Muahaha, for I am Professor Chaos.
  2. What happened to "check yourself before you wreck yourself" and staying on piste if the snow isn't deep enough?
  3. Woah, sweet RTMs!!!
  4. Anyone else wonder if Camelback management reads this forum??? It turns out Atomic is not in Aspen at all... he was secretly skiing Camelback today.
  5. Thanks, I made it a little bigger in case someone missed it.

    Don't they take you to court if they catch you? Was just planning on doing groomers and hoping they got enough snow for good packed powder conditions. Sounds like they did.
  7. Thanks!!! It's quite an accomplishment especially dealing with the haters, the flamers, the roasters, post deletions, and even a 3 day ban but I've pushed forward through all the blood sweat and tears to reach this magical milestone.
  8. Nice, looks like you guys got lots of fresh. Down here in Valley Forge, it just started coming down really heavy.

    Any at Elk today? Wondering how epic conditions are. Want to check it out Friday if they get at least a few inches.
  10. Mountain Creek might just be the hot spot to go for powder tomorrow.
  11. Wow hope you had your 4 wheel drive on!!!
  12. To celebrate Post 1700:
  13. Fake weather! Current predictions for Hazelton: 1-3 (intellicast.com) 4-8 (WNEP) 8-16 (NWS)
  14. Jk I can't remember the last time I put my TV on at a hotel.
  15. Wow just wow. What did you do after skiing every day?
  16. Just got an updated forecast.
  17. Thanks!!! I will look for some powder poles and then I'll be skiing powder just like this:
  18. Toast has the best dad jokes.
  19. Nah I don't have powder poles. Didn't even know there was such a thing. Ok. It was so crowded that everything on piste got tracked out after the first few runs, so the fresh was short lived. The real good stuff was in the woods but I still have no clue how to turn. Think I'll stick to groomers my whole life. Groomers are fun.
  20. Hashtag throw back Tuesday... When I was first in line at Stowe for perder day. Got there at 7 am sharp and made the agonizingly difficult climb up hill. Reserved first chair by making an X with ski polls. Then waited til 7:45 when tragedy struck. RFID reader failed for no reason, just for me, so I lost first chair and was demoted to 6th chair. It ended up not mattering because I still got fresh on the first run, but all but one segment was groomed. The deep pow pow pow was very difficult to make turns in, and it was too steep to bomb. Fortunately the deep was short lived and then I queued up for run #2 with 500 other people. Got inpatient after 15 seconds and queued up at the gondela with 5,000 other people for 8:30 opening. Got impatient again so rode Eggs Over Easy gondola to Spruce. Halfway thru changed my mind and rode it back to main Gondoobie. After 5 minutes of waiting got impatient again and rode Hard Boiled Egg gondola back to Spruce, to avoid the crowds and maybe get some fresh. Got maybe half an inch on a few runs but at least got to ski instead of standing around. Overall my least favorite day at Stowe out of the 4 days I spent there, but it was still an ok day.
  21. Currently stuck in suburban Philadelphia, won't be skiing til Friday. I took off to ski at Elk because I did the same thing last year when we got "Winter Storm Steller Artois" or whatever you called it. Should be rad. Their snow quality is superior to all snow in PA. It's just like sking in Vermont. I'll miss the perder skiing but I suck in deep perder anyway. I got my fill at Stowe when I was 3 miles away for two storms.
  22. That's awesome but I refuse to participate in the weather channel's naming of snowstorms. Definitely the lamest thing ever.
  23. I was actually going to buy those kind of skis, Volkl 8.0 from a rental shop. But once I realized they are for gapers I passed and bought some sick RTMs. I swear this is not a troll post.
  24. My car came with the worst winter handling tires made... Hankook Optimo H428. When it snowed at Killington last year, I couldn't even get up the hill to the K-1 Lodge. Shortly after I upgraded to General Altimax RT43 tires which are much better, but the car doesn't function in deep snow no matter what the tires are. I saw enough cars still stuck in ditches last weekend, so I'll have to sit this one out or get a hotel somewhere like Enjorales.
  25. Ha. I knew someone would call me out on that. I hate driving in the snow, and my small car does not fare well in deep pow pow. I'm fine skiing groomed packed powder. Maybe there will be some left over moegouls for me to run on Tunkhannock or something.
