This storm looks pretty stoke worthy. Maybe I'll take off Friday and go to Elk or somewhere in New York..

Great I haven't seen Matt Edge since that night when me you and Matt Edge skied Paradise. Really glad to hear Zack is going also... Wait a minute, who's Zack???

Can you ask Root to forward me the form to request having my right to tag posts reinstated?

If Montage made Long Haul a high speed I would have bought a pass there yesterday.

Wow you guys were almost spared from having to deal with me next season. I procrastinated and waited until Saturday to buy my pass. If the roads were good on Saturday and I had gone to Camelback instead I might have ended up back there next year.

Keep me posted on conditions. There's a possibility I'll do one last night session for the season.

I've had days like that when I can't seem to get out of the frickin' backseat no matter what I try. Fortunately it doesn't happen all the time, and this weekend my skiing was good. I just don't get it!

Great coverage. Just a couple bare spots on Nile Mile which were off to the side. I don't think the snow on the diamonds was actual mashed potatoes, per se. Just kind of lumpy. I prefer a nice smooth surface, like how Cliffhanger was the first few runs.

It was more in the late morning/early afternoon. Probably not actually mashed potatoes like most people think of, but just lumpy and more difficult to make turns in.

I might do the same. I'll try to get to Blue every weekend until they close. When's gaper day?

Tags: #powpowpow #sundayfunday #18inches #sickbird #rad Another great day at Camelback. Arrived at 755 today in the lot near Stevenson lift, before the masses showed up. In the house were saltyant, Eaf, and many, many, many others. First run down Nile Mile was mad steezy. Wall to wall coverage of fresh corduroy. Next tried out Cliffhanger which was also in great shape. Stayed on the Stevenson side for a while, alternating between Nile Mile, Cliffhanger, and Rhododendron Glen. I have to use spell check every time to figure out how to write that last one. To switch it up I headed over to the Sullivan side after about an hour. Tuts was in great shape and vastly improved compared to the last time I skied it two weeks ago. Made a run down Asp, but it wasn't as good - small piles of mashed potato type snow, and patches of pure ice mixed in. As a result, I mostly stuck to blue trails throughout the day. By 11 am the lines were getting ridonculous. The singles lines at Stevenson Lift were the longest I've ever seen and stretched well beyond where the queue ends. It was annoying that they didn't open the Marc Antony and Pocono Raceway lifts earlier. If they did I might have stayed a little longer. I tried to be patient and wait because I was having fun, but ultimately the 10-15 minute waits between runs wore me down and I left around noon. Stopped at Wawa for a large coffee with Irish cream and a jalapeno cheese pretzel.

I'm pretty distraught that my tagging abilities have been disabled, but I'll write a quick TR so Steeze can VUJOPO JADIP WTGAI.

Thanks! That's my favorite Rocky movie. I played Training Montage and Hearts on Fire to motivate me while biking up Pike's Peak. Meant to yell Drago at the top but I was too tired.

I was surprised to hear from Mr. Steeze that you also bought a Blue pass.

Yep. I'll be at the True Blue next season. I'll miss Camelback but felt I could use a change in venues to keep my interest in skiing. Who knows, if Blue disappoints next season I might end up back at Camelback. I have to say, the VIP line at Blue yesterday was faster than all the single lines at Camelback today. But Blue wasnt nearly as crowded yesterday so not sure if that's a fair comparison.

No problem. It was so crowded today and I forgot what color you wear. I stayed until around 12. Once the singles line started taking 10-15 minutes that was enough for me. Overall a great day though and the funnest for me in a few weeks. I was making fun of them a bit with the Rocky pic, but the snow was really good on most trails. The black diamonds were kind of crappy, though. Mashed potato type snow mixed with pure ice. But all the blue trails were fantastic.

I don't think I can come up with anything funnier than that Rocky picture today. That's so hilarious. I updated my stats for you. I still have a comfortable lead in first place.

Actually was going through my photos from today and just realized I took one of Rocky training in the powder on Nile Mile.

I was gonna do a trip report, but since I lost my tagging privileges forget it. I'll just post this pic and use some hashtags. #powpowpow #sundayfunday #18inches #sickbird #JustLikeRockyIVWhenHe'sTrainingInSiberia

Sick!! You must have poached The Rocket!!

Where are you? Im on Stevenson side

Just relaying what Camelback told me to tell you. 37 trails... get excited!

If you’re not spending your day at Camelback tomorrow, are you even trying to have a Sunday Funday? Ski you on the slopes.

Correct. Not sure how CB is but I imagine pretty similar to Shawnee. I might go to CB tomorrow morning. It seemed Blue got almost nothing and everything was left over snow.

Til around 12 I think. Overall a decent day. Not too crowded.
