I take the NHSL to work. It's pretty fun. Used to run all the way to Allentown in the 1950s.

Well my heart smiles for them.

25 degrees forecast tonight in Tannersville... will they make snow?

Aids like hearing aids?

Well I mean... I had a good time.

I have a hike scheduled Saturday morning at Mt. Minsi. Should wrap up around noon. Think I'll head over to CBK afterwards. Looks fun.

I had the same thing last week. It was rough. Something is going around...

I rode here growing up. Say 2002 to 2008 or so. The operating culture was always to assume you were at a disadvantage given their location and try and meet the holiday rushes. After that fell off there was never any push for spring riding. Some mountains just have that culture of pushing the season and bc never did that I remember. It’s a shame because they have an advanced snowmaking system now and they probably could get an extra week or two. I suppose it’s a lot of cost though for an extra couple weeks just for the PR.

I can't remember a season they stayed open longer than the third week of March. Maybe there was a year where they opened again on the last weekend in March but its just never been in their gameplan to stay open longer. Its rare that they have the conditions for it though so it just may not figure into their calculus for scheduling things late season.

I had a good time. Got a good amount of days in this year. They made the most of the cold snaps and snow they had. Maybe use another day at Montage next weekend and then pay for some spring riding at CBK if they make it into April.

Wet snow mixing in West Philly. I'm at work.

Looks fun. How were the crowds this year compared to the last few seasons?

I figured they'd close with maybe limited weekend sessions on a single trail to try and make it. Think they're going for something off the Stevenson. Yeah, I don't think they'll make it either unless they straight up push a big pile together and don't let anyone on it between mid March and May 1st.

Look under redemptions, not lift access.

How far that place has fallen.
