Well the roads might get better as you get closer.
Looks like consensus, aside from NWS, is that it's shifting north a bit. Maybe blue will get a good thump.

I'm bringing a chainsaw just in case and will be doing so for all future snow days.

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.

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.

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?

As long as there’s no edge damage, nothing to worry about.
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.

There's no way. The whole mountain is 1k. WL starts mid mountain. Probably 400 but the actual headwall is maybe 150 or 200 if that.
400 might even be a stretch. here is a photo from the bottom lol

Went there once. I was definitely unprepared and had a complete misunderstanding as to how classy it was.

A month out isn’t too far away. Bobby doesn’t do seasonal forecasts for that reason, I’m trying to keep a positive attitude.
I've learned to just keep expectations low.
Still, some cold would be nice.

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.

The gram says 699 next year for pass. Unlikely there is a gift card/dollars
