Not yet. I always thought you just jab them in the snow as hard as you can, and then make your turns around them.

I'm a n00b so I don't know any better. Actually making turns now, so getting up there.

Dagnabbit, threadjackers these days!

Yep, that's why I'm avoiding Blue for now. Sorry but I just don't trust anyone on skis/boards, and am always paranoid someone's going to nail me and I'll end up in a wheelchair. Too many inexperienced people on Midway, too crappy of conditions, too long of lines on Vista, etc. Once some more terrain opens up soon, I'll come back to Blue and have a fantastic time.

Jar Jar was originally intended to be the main villain of Star Wars until George Lucas chickened out and shoehorned in Count Dooku in Episode 2. Best fan theory I've ever read. I hope Blue opens Lazy Mile soon.

No problem Grilled Cheese!!!

Nah I just enjoy posting. Note: I migrated the topic to the Camelback forum to avoid ending up in internet jail. Carry on discussions about Zee Lights at Blue.

Hoping for a good plot twist that changes something in the two previous trilogies. Sorry, GSS, we should take this to the Star Wars forum, don't want to threadjack =P

Red alert! Guns are ablaze at CB! Come on Blue, let's get going! There is 4% less humidity in Tannersville so I think that might explain the difference.

Ok. I always mention Blue in my posts here as to not stray off topic, however.

Nope, next Sat. Apparently you aren't a Star Wars fan.

Just be glad you don't live in State College. Just saw Tussey from the interstate and it's in sad, sad shape.

Yep, I'll most certainly be there. I'm thinking of doing a night session, maybe 4-9. At least skiing at night will provide a little variety. Plus if they're blowing snow on the trails, when it's colder at night, it could be a lot of fun hitting fresh piles for a change.

I'm 29 so I got it at the bargain price of $399.

1 min ago on CB FB: open for night skiing!!! No first trax though. Also no trail count at this time. Assumption is same green trail

Maybe we'll get Nile Mile this weekend and you guys can head over and join myself and Juice Bags. No hot chocolate or cookies though, that was only for opening day.

Im from a major metropolitan region (Hazleton) and don't speak Skook.

Two whats?

This allegations brought forth by the Camel mascot are false. But we did enjoy our runs together on Honeymoon.

The ski shop offered me Volkl RTM 81's at $599. I'll probably wait to find an end of season bargain on last year's model. In the meantime, I'll be skidding down the ice all season long on my flexy Elons.

I could definitely use a few lessons. An instructor at Killington gave me some good pointers, such as not leaning backwards (which I still catch myself doing often). less than 3 years ago I couldn't ski the bunny slope at Eagle Rock, so I'm pretty happy with my progress regardless.

I think I tense up sometimes and death grip the poles, thinking they'll save me from a fall when in reality that's not logical. Once I loosen up, I ski much, much better, but sometimes that takes me a few hours.
