Nice!! I ended up hitting Camel for a short sesh today. The lip into Chute yesterday was absolutely bonkers. You could get so much air off it or knuck huck it, hope they keep it that way.
👍 Hit it Yesterday morning a couple times.
Noting like 0 G’s for endorphin therapy.

Sunny cold… 8:45 Made my way to the Quad and noticed the cattle chute. Ok …. There’s going to be some law and order today. Thought I was going to be first chair but someone in Orange blasted past lol, I figured he would head for Challenge but he went elsewhere. It was a bit disappointing later on to see the cattle out of control and cramming up to the front loading area on the quad and the line built up to the gates. The six had very little line to speak of.
First tracks on Challenge was the best grooming I’ve seen all year. The icing on the cake was a couple inches of snow that drifted over from the fan gun up top. I think I hit my terminal velocity, but felt safe the whole time and was able to launch off the falls lip with just as good of grooming. Challenge was so good I kept lapping it then went to main street and a little bit of snow is drifted over from sleepy, hollow onto the bumps. Blue Balmer glade was also being blown.
Fortunately , the roulette wheel of fate spared me and I didn’t get stuck in front of the gun on nightmare when the quad stopped for a good five minutes.
Great day like C1 said.

I never said I was going elsewhere. Just that, for $699, I think I'm gonna wait it out and see what the options were. What if Icon has more blue days? Or maybe I'll mix it up a bit more next year. Besides how the hell would I survive without you telling me which lift to ski to, or how I should hold my my fucking skis over my shoulder.
Off peak passes are $519.00
You could put the money towards an icon for times you want on the weekend and have bonus of other places?

Why aren't they at Camelback then?
Hearsay, Camelback looks pretty busy as well.
Plattekill is open all this week.

Blue the True was the first of many, many ski resorts I flew over today in NY, VT, MA, and NJ. Didn't see anyone in the lower lot so this explains it. Hopefully the footage from my new GoPro is so detailed you can see the mud bubbling in the PASR lot
What were the cloud bases at ? Looked like plenty of thermals today.

I can hear the snow melting away..when’s the next storm..
Nice to see Coney Island and Center Valley made the list.
Saturday… maybe. Pattern change looks like a fart in the wind . Warmup coming🤮
This storm was nuts, North Allentown 5” Center city 7” South mountain 12”
I ended up with 13.5” One mile south of me only 5”

Low angle stuff today, nice to be out.
Farm field was a little wind blown with a crust 4” down so I couldn’t make full turns.
Should have done this yesterday.

@AirheadD8 I did notice a darker blue band just south of Allentown so that’s probably what delivered so much for you.
have you hit any of the backcountry lines in your neighborhood?
I debated behind my house, it’s 300 vertical and a road at the bottom. I cheated a couple years ago and had my wife pick me up 😁 There’s some really big rocks at the bottom. So I skipped this year….Unless we get some more next Saturday?

Woke up at 4am for a bathroom trip and glanced down the hallway towards my dining room and thought I saw a tom of snow on my deck railing. I laughed and convinced myself that I was half asleep.
Woke up at 6 and looked out. ??? No way! I went outside and guessed a foot. 26° and lightweight stuff. 8 Or so plowed out and it was over the top of my 12” plow!
Decided to head a few miles south to a nature reserve where I hike from time to time. I was surprised to find only 6” Plan B a few miles North to Emmaus South mountain nature preserve where I toured probably 8 years ago. I was a bit disappointed to find a lot more brush than the last trip. I headed east a little more and found some more friendly area. It cliffed out and I had to detour. Only did 2 miles, the snow got considerably heavier than this morning.

More snow in Allentown than at Blue. My guess is 4-5 inches in the A and 3 inches at Blue. I wouldn’t call it champagne powder but more medium density. @AirheadD8 let’s see a picture of the foot.
Ok 13” now
Planning local tour 😁

It is, but it’s normally good after 4 PM on Saturdays and Sundays except for holidays. The contradictory email they sent me must have been cut and pasted because the schedule says good after 4 PM
My work schedule is pretty flexible ,I’m not a big fan of skiing on weekends. The only thing I miss out on is skiing with the bump crew in the afternoons.
Miss read the email, good after 4 but not until 4 on Monday.

It is, Airhead must have a weekday pass. My skipping weekends is by choice (I could say I don’t like crowds, but it is really to let the old body recover).

Blue is leaving some serious Johnny cash on the table not making today a holiday as all the schools are closed.
I think they are. I don’t know what they’re charging for lift tickets but I got a don’t come around here email.

I have no idea who this guy is, but he isnt the first i have heard of thursday and friday nights snow. Take it with a pretty low probability though.
EPAWA take is not much Thursday possibly 3-5 on Saturday but more Southern progressive storm. Greenland blocking isn’t there yet ☹️

It took me 2 1/2 hours from right above Quakertown. If anyone is familiar with 309 where it turns in to I-78 West always a cluster there. Then my escape route onto 145 there also a cluster. Cars off the road everywhere. Can’t understand why folks in small cars with low profile tires even attempt to drive in this.
I’m a few miles north of you and it took me 2:25 hrs. I detoured by Sheetz on 145 after another detour North of Allentown and had to stop for someone who had both lanes blocked while they fiddled with their wipers. There was a plowed lot nearby that they could have pulled into. Backroads were better than the packed ice mains. Although I had to stop for a huge gust of wind that caused a total whiteout for 45 seconds, I literally couldn’t see my hood.
Yeah it’s skiing so it was worth it 😁🤟

I would like to give Blue a little credit today. They had employees there, and both lifts loaded basically on time.
i dont think they fucked anything up today. Nice work Blue!
How much snow did they officially get?

Fun day…945 -12:15 The drive really really really sucked, Coming soon main st , Barneys was primo. Someone did the old main st lift line lol. Early runs were a workout, the snow literally stuck to the top of your skis . I was stuck on the quad for 10 minutes I was thinking the power was out.
Turned out someone knocked off the top safety and a patroller fixed it.
