In 24 hours once I confirm with TP4's attorneys that his stats from today have remained unedited.

I'm going to the Eat and Park and I'm planning to eat breakfast for dinner. Just remembered I am getting toast because I am sure toast is going to come in any second to yell at us for posting. But this thread has my name in it so I think I'm allowed to post whatever I want.

Never been there. I enjoy walking around small towns and just checking out everything. I go in and out of gift shops and sometimes ask the sales people questions, but I don't think I've ever actually bought anything.

Yes but tell him to hit that run early because it goes to hell really fast.

You said matt edge wanted to know how King Tut is so I provided as much details as he would need to make a decision. I think spaces use bandwidth so I don't want to waste any of that so the owner of this site can continue to provide this forum for free and without ads.

I'm not planning to ski on Sunday. Way too crowded, and it's $94 for tickets in advance and $131 at the window. I think I'll go to Burlington and check the town out, and then drive around and do touristy things. I'll be skiing 5 days in a row in epic powder conditions.

King Tut is probably the best blue trail at Camelback, possibly even in the world. After you ride the Sullivan Trail to the top of the mountain, you have to work your way across some flat terrain, and what might even be a slight uphill grade. Before you pass the top of the Bailey Chair, take note of the sign that says "intermediates/experts only" that is on the left side of the trail. Before beginning the steep part, you can observe snowboarders sitting on the benches on the left, taking a break after exhaustively making their way across grueling flat terrain by using one leg, and then having to rebind once again, just like they do before beginning every single run. After passing the benches, you can look off in the distance and see Interstate 80, the magical passageway to Camelback, and there's a small bridge on the horizon. Now the steep part of the piste begins, and you need to keep your speed under control. Typically the left side of the trail is in better shape than the right side. The right side tends to have more small piles of powder, which can make turning difficult for low level intermediate skiers. On the right side take note of The Hump, which I consider to be the most difficult slope at Camelback because it's always a sheet of ice for some reason, and there's a turn to the right whereas all other black diamonds (except for Pharaoh, a true black) are straight runs before they dump into other challenging black diamond trails. Shortly thereafter, you'll hit the famous elbow, where you can pause on the flat part of the trail and peer down below at the magnificent hotel and water park. It really is a nice view. Then the real steep part of the trail begins, but it's pretty wide so you can generally avoid most of the gapers that should stick to Coolmoor. This part of the trail can also be icy, like The Hump, but is generally not even remotely close to The Hump in terms of iciness. This part of the trail is crucial to gaining enough speed to rocket back down to Sullivan Lift without needing to use your polls or put any effort into moving forward. Next you look to skier's left to check for traffic coming off Birches, and then you can zoom into The Meadows, which is very wide like Snowshed at Killington, and is a slow zone so make sure if you're going over the speed limit to always check for po po. Near the end of The Meadows, you'll see the lodge and can check the time if you can still read the old fashioned analog clock, and then after making a sharp right, you'll have just enough speed to get back into the single's line as long as you gained enough momentum at Upper King Tut's. It truly is an epic run, and make sure you pass this information on to matt edge so he will strongly consider buying a 2018-2019 Super Pass and then we can ski King Tut all winter long and also maybe even Uncle Bill's Way.

Yep, that's how I am. I like hanging out with people to an extent, but I truly enjoy the independence of doing things myself. I made a solo trip out west for 3 weeks and was never bored or felt the need to have to drag someone along with me to do things I'm interested in and they're not. If I'm in the mood I talk to people, mostly fellow tourists. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing things alone sometimes, even though some people might think it's odd.

I'm pretty sure you said matt edge is strongly considering buying a Camelback Superpass for next season, so I'm thinking we'll go there and do some runs on Uncle Bill's way to practice for Verbier.

Oh ok, I was a gaper back then when I was skiing Elons and now that I'm on RTMs I'm no longer a gaper but since you posted this you're saying I should wear my Elons on gaper day to relive my gaper days. Thanks.

Actually, Camelback's price is $599 for ages 30-64 and Blue's is $449.

Thanks. I'll have to do a price comparison to Camelback's. I think there's is only $399 but Blue's costs $449.

I guess I'm leaving Saturday. All this damn snow is going to make it hard to drive Sunday so now I need to stay an extra day. Stupid snow.

Just checked your profile and literally laughed out loud when I saw Atomic recently viewed it.

Oh ok. I thought TP4 said that Steeze and Atomic were conspiring to delete his stats.

Wow you have a really good memory. I often forget what days I skied, so glad you're keeping track on a calendar for me. I won't post my stats until you stop deleting TP4s stats. I'm doing this in protest to support TP4. #keepstatslegit #justice4TP4

When I went to Jack Frost my skiing was top notch for some reason, and skiing glades and under the lift were so damn epic. So I had to rate JF my #1 day. Then probably #2 was sugar cookies with Ski2Live, and #3 was that night when me, you, Atomic, and Ridge made runs together and took turns riding the Main Street Lift together. All epic sessions and they're all my favorite for this year. I was distraught when I wrote this that JF Dan and Toast did not care if I quit this site or updated my stats. I'll think about rescinding this.

Only if JF Dan, Toast, or NM Ski ask me to.

True. My favorite day this year was Jack Frost on New Years Day when I skiied with my friend from college. We had a great time and the lift rides go by a lot faster when you have someone to talk to. But if i don't have someone to ski with I still like to get out anyway since it beats sitting around doing nothing during the winter. Also enjoyed skiing with PASRers, though I feel like I'm holding people up since I only ski 50 mph which is too slow.

Nope... What do you mean?

Thanks Johnny Law, you hit the nail on the head. I think I skied too much and that kind of depleted my stoke level, which has translated into backseat skiing from lack of passion. I used to ski 12 hour sessions and not get bored at all, so I think i need to do it more in moderation and try new things. When I go out of my comfort zone and try something new, like glades, moguls or demoing RTMs, I have a stupid ear to ear smile all day long. Just haven't had that lately. Hopefully Stowe will bring back my passion for skiing. When I'm enjoying it and having fun I never feel stuck in the backseat.

Tell matt edge I had breakfast for dinner at the Eat and Park. I never know what the different types of eggs are, so I just told them to give me the same meal that's pictured on the menu. So I got eggs with whites and the yolk in the middle, some kind of meat, and fried potato slices. They really need to open some Eat and Parks in eastern PA.

Oh no, Grilled Steeze told me on the six pack I'm immune to being deleted because he knows the guy who owns this site.

What do you mean. Once I get my bases waxed and take an intermediate group lesson at Stowe I'll be the most efficient skier on the mountain and ready to ski Corbet's Colour and increase my stats at an even more efficient rate. My stats will be so good the mods will get jealous and start deleting sessions like they're currently doing to TP4.

A few small gray spots near the edges, but nothing serious.
