  1. The gram says 699 next year for pass. Unlikely there is a gift card/dollars
  2. Really good today, these days are rare at Blue. Thanks enjo for the sneks. I so badly wish one of you fuckers would have seen me eat it on chute.
  3. Looks like consensus, aside from NWS, is that it's shifting north a bit. Maybe blue will get a good thump.
  4. I'm bringing a chainsaw just in case and will be doing so for all future snow days.
  5. rough morning. went out at 7 to start the driveway but the tractor wouldn't start - even though i had it on a battery tender all night. got it jumped, but couldn't make it through the snow. took about 20 min to get the snowblower going, snow was jamming up in the auger though so it wasn't doing much. was running out of time so said fuck the driveway. walked over to the truck and noticed that i had left my passenger window all the way down all night. boots and gloves covered in snow. whatever, dust it all off and get ready to go. couldn't start the truck, 10 min later i was able to jump it. 5 min from blue but blocked by a tree. try to go an alternate route that prob would've added 20 min. blocked by another tree. i chalked it up as a loss and white knuckled it the whole way home. roads are pretty bad. i don't think anything off a state road had been plowed in 3-4 hours. back at work. highlight of my day was seeing two guys on a snowmobile with skis and a snowboard prob headed to blue which was pretty cool. they might have been able to get around the tree, i dunno tho. maybe that and i was able to get up my driveway without getting stuck. everything did not go as expected.
  6. Alternate route Bailing. Have fun y'all
  7. looking like about 8-10 here as well. haven't been outside yet. saying there's still more to come. weird the storm panned out, i put the blade on the riding mower so i expected i had jinxed things. managed to snag the morning off so i'm plowing until 8am then making my way to blue... slowly i'd imagine.
  8. yeah i wasn't sure if you were the post owner or them.
  9. lol ok i went to like it and got this
  10. i wonder if they'll use the chair corral / storage / garage tonight. even tho i really think it's just there for show. @JFskiDan did you delete your facebook comment or did they do it for you?
  11. yup went up across all models and forecasters. natl weather svc cant make up their mind with this. it was like 8" then 4" then 8" now 10" for us very happy about the shift south, was worried about an ice then snow event here. 4am this morning vs 4pm yesterday
  12. I remember someone from the Penn State crew or West Chester crew i can't keep track of who is what, literally had the edge ripped out of the sidewall after the pow day two years ago. It was fucking crazy.
  13. 400 might even be a stretch. here is a photo from the bottom lol
  14. Went there once. I was definitely unprepared and had a complete misunderstanding as to how classy it was.
  15. Awesome. Looks like you've got some enforcers?
  16. that song fucking blows
  17. Get the popcorn. Caramel and cheese. Garrettes (spelling prob wrong)
  18. I've learned to just keep expectations low. Still, some cold would be nice.
  19. I never gave enough of a shit to notice.
  20. ...you must have missed the song they play for the SPCA or whatever it is. I think Sarah mcglapotatohan. I can't spell it
  21. Oh and just a radio station update, no progress there. Seal's 'kiss from a rose' blasting when i walked up to the gates.
  22. Kept an eye on the radar and rolled the dice today. Looked like there'd be a window around 815. Got there at eight to just a sprinkle and little to no fog at the top. Conditions excellent, snow was exactly like yesterday, precip very light. Best of all the place was dead. I think it was just me and racers. Got in maybe 7-8 runs before it started raining just a little more and called it a day. No apres, so now i have to figure out what to do for a couple hours. Might head up to Scranton for new bibs since i was reminded today that these ones are no longer waterproof.
