    Idk. You're asking a guy who was looking for a Red Lobster in Providence, RI.
  2. saltyant
    I get the whole lobster with eyes and everything, with cajun seasoning. The pot usually comes with red potatoes, corn, shrimp, and some other tasty items. It's too bad the King of Prussia Joe's Crab Shack closed recently. The only other one I know of in PA is in Pittsburgh. I used to like Red Lobster too but it just doesn't do it for me anymore. Bonefish Grill is a lot better.

    Ugh I hate Long John Silvers. Joe's Crab Shack is the best seafood around.

    It's pretty convenient. Just a short distance from the Stevenson Lift over flat terrain. if you decide to stay there, don't use ski check because they misplaced someone's poles the other day. Also, don't get caught with skis in the elevator because there's a sign saying that's not allowed.

    Wow, what a great video. Steeze was right about where the trail name "Honeymoon" came from. Too bad it didn't explain who Marjie is. My goal is to be just like Bernie who has been skiing Camelback for over 35 years and hits speeds of 50, 60, even 70 miles per hour.

    Well played, mods. Well played.

    I was very hungry for the baby octopus at the Royal Chinese Buffet in Wilkes Barre. You should try them some time, they are a delicacy.

    Nice tags toast and/or root.

    Wow just wow my tags change all the time by themselves. Welp don't bother reading this thread anymore, it's a waste of time. Don't see any actual posts edited yet though, so that's a good sign.

    I got some air, but fine maybe I exaggerated just a little. Nope, not skiing again until Saturday morning.
  12. saltyant
    I disagree. In what way?
  13. saltyant
    I could easily mount it to my helmet and look like a teletubby, but then no one on here will be able to critique everything about my skiing stoyle. I didn't get any air off the moguls but often I get mad air off some ungroomed parts of the lodge, like 1-2 inches of air

    Thanks! I get pointers every now and then from random people. Last year I rode the Bear Mountain lift at Killington with an instructor and he was nice enough to give me some pointers. Basically, ski more forward, keep arms and poles forward, keep goggles high enough to get rid of the gaper gap, and other very useful advice. Maybe some day I'll pay for a lesson, but for me it just seems I need to get the feel for more advanced skiing techniques naturally. Idk. It was a lot of fun skiing in ungroomed terrain yesterday. My legs were sooo sore when I woke up this morning, but it was a good feeling.

    Next time I ski moguls I'll try to remember my Go Pro. Unfortunately I cannot find my ski pole attachment anywhere so I wont be able to make an awesome vid from my ski pole's perspective.

    I'll watch a couple YouTube videos and I should be good.

    Almost. I made it to the Phoebe Lift for 9 am and they opened a little earlier, so Boomer and Smoke were already tracked out. So I made my way to Lower Runaway and Fast Track and found some nice powder. Plus I did a full top to bottom run on Fast Track which was amazing. Since that run takes the most effort to get to, there was lots of untracked powder. Very nice!

    Today I tried skiing under the beginner lift at Montage. As soon as I realized it was a bad idea, I hit a small rock or something and fell. It was a very slow fall but I think I scratched the base on my RTM a little bit.
  19. saltyant
    Thanks. I'll save that one for tomorrow. I'm kinda tired from skiing all the powder, but it was definitely a great day. Lol, in reality I'm probably still a low level intermediate, but I need to ski with Steeze again for an evaluation to see if I can get a promotion. I gave up on White Lightning when I got to the steep part. My RTMs were literally shaking. I slid down most of it. I don't know if I need to deduct that from my total vert for the season.

    Just got back from one of the funnest night sessions ever at Camelback. There was lots of powder left from the storm, and this made all the runs more challenging but also more fun. Giant mogul fields formed on all the steeps, so I finally got to practice doing bump runs. For about 2 hours, my skiing was extremely good and I was making nice short radius turns around the moguls. By the end of the night, my legs started getting pretty tired due to aggressive carving, since I typically don't put much effort into skiing groomers. But powder skiing is completely different, and now I realize that after tonight. The best mogul runs were Marjie's and The Rocket, which had nice fluffy piles and a only a little bit of ice between moguls. Cliffhanger was also nice, but was really choppy on the run out, and there's a section that's completely dark so that was a little treacherous. Big Pocono and Uncle Will''s Way were pretty decent as well. Now The Hump was a completely different story. I tackled that steep near the end of the night, and it was literally 86% ice and 14% snow. I had to skid down ice from mogul to mogul to survive, but fortunately I emerged unscathed. I wish ski patrol would have warned me about the ice before I dropped in on that run. Overall it was definitely a great night of powder skiing, and I am so glad I had my trusty RTMs on, and 170 cm seemed to be the perfect length for the conditions. I'm going to request that Camelback leave some of the runs ungroomed so I can continue to practice moguls when I return on Saturday. I think that requesting slopes remain ungroomed is definitely a sign that I'm an expert now.

    Ok thanks. I dont think Camelback got dumped on as much as Montage so hopefully it will be easier to ski. Id love to come back and ski everything freshly groomed tomorrow morning but I guess I'm supposed to actually go to work at some point this week. So I'll have to wait until Saturday. Make sure you tell Matt Edge that im at Camelback and I can text him live updates if he wants for a nominal fee.
  22. saltyant
    Made it to Camelback. Lots of powder. Will stay 2-3 hours and then bizounce. Steeze, Long Haul was closed and I cant type a Trip Report from my phone because it's too much work. And I didn't have lunch in the lodge. Guitar, yeah I know, but slow lifts just kill my stoke after a while. The runs over in 1 minute then it's 6-8 minutes of sitting again. Yawn. Thats why I would only get a season pass at a mountain that has a high speed lift.
  23. saltyant
    Same for me. Is this how every day is in Utah?
  24. saltyant
    Ok fine. I'll just to back to Montage so i don't have to deal with the conundrum later. Nah, just kidding. Tired of riding slow ass lifts all day long. Why cant every lift be a high speed quad? Top to bottom Fast track was a blast, but it just takes so damn long to get to the top of the mountain.
  25. saltyant
    I know, lol. I was being facetious because I prefer everything groomed, because its easier to ski on. This powder is much more challenging than what I'm used to and im trying to get better.
