Welcome...hope to see you in the parking lot next season. Hanging out in the parking lot can be as fun as the skiing.

Yeah it's all good, I was just poking fun at their post. Like you said, at least they gave a heads up on the updated closing date.

Yeah I know that's what they meant. But the way they worded it (Pond skimming AND closing day has been moved up) just made it sound people were begging blue to close a day earlier.

Haha...the people spoke that they wanted Blue to close a day earlier? Hmm... I'm planning on Saturday morning unless something else comes up.

I'm planning on either tomorrow night or Saturday morning. Probably Saturday morning.

I'd like to go to Montage again one more time this season, but I doubt it will happen since I leave for CO next Wednesday.

Montage is saying 4-6 as their last day. Last time I was there they did have a lot of snow on the north face but not sure how conditions will be

Halfpipe looks great. I think they may be one of the only places in PA that still has one besides maybe 7 springs

Awesome wish I could have been there today. Yesterday was still fun though

Good time today. I thought it was going to be pretty icy but it was much better than expected. Hit Challenge a few times to start off then Lazy and Switchback. Upper Main street was good, lower was a little crusty. No crowds or lift lines...few beers in the parking lot to end the morning. I hope to make it one night this week or next weekend for a morning session

Montage is claiming 5" of snow, so I would imagine Elk got the same, if not more. And yeah, I doubt Elk will be crowded.

Nice pics, hope you get a nice powder day today

I'll be there tomorrow morning for opening (although I have to get my pass so I may not make first chair). I have to hit the road by 12 since the wife will be out of town tomorrow afternoon/sunday.

Mostly south Jersey...I spend a lot of time fishing Ocean City through Cape May Point, and also fish Long Beach Island a bit. Sometimes I'll hit spots further north like Manasquan, Spring Lake, etc. but South Jersey tends to be less crowded and I know some back bay spots that almost always hold fish.

Spring (mid-April) is when saltwater fishing starts to pick up again, so I do look forward to spring. Late season skiing/riding is fun too though, soft snow and warm temps can be good.

I considered just doing day trips/finding discounted tickets until next years pass comes out, but I just ended up getting the pass for 2019/20 instead. The past 10 years or so, I only got out 5 or 6 times a season, plus a trip out west. Having a season pass again got me out pretty much every weekend that I was free.

Yeah I wouldn't attempt it, I'm probably too out of shape to do stuff like that anyway right now. Your post had me googling abandoned ski resorts though and there seems to be a bunch of them, could make for some fun trips (although I guess some of them are off limits due to trespassing)

Nice report, looks like a fun trip.

Looks like a great trip. Have you hit any other abandoned ski resorts? I know there was one near steamboat (Stagecoach) but I think they were trying to open again. Also one off Berthoud Pass my buddy was telling me about

Looks like a great day. Wish I could've made it. I will probably be up next weekend

Nice report. I hope to hit montage one more time this year. The food at Slocum hollow is pretty good and they usually have a decent selection of beer

Nice report. Grooming looks terrible, but the new terrain looks like it could be fun

I probably won't make it this weekend, but I plan on getting out one or two more times this spring. I'm not very fly, but I am a white guy...who likes to fly fish.

I will be joining in the parking lot shenanigans in 2020...

I have a wedding to go to Saturday night in North Jersey, so it's unlikely I'll make this...I'm going to try though, sounds like it should be a great time
