Skied till about 3 today. Whooped. Fantastic spring conditions right out of the gate. 10 out of 10 jazz hands. In Montpellier at the quirkiest hotel with 4 maybe 5 distinctly unique floors, but no real hot water to speak of. Heading to the tap room for some libations and grub. Sugarbush tomorrow, another fan favorite. Might be in for some firmer conditions tomorrow, with lower temps.

There is this unique run. police cruiser parking is just to the left of us, indy pass parking with subarus is just to the right as you can see. One of them is “indybitch1”. I asked if they know skiitoolives bit i forget his indy handle. ovation is skiing great. Taking a hydration break.

Killington is skiing great today. Lots of open unique trails for April.

Myself, nmski, and jeff met up with jlaw in the parking garage at stratton aroumd 1 pm thursday for some really warm spring sking on about 5 unique runs. Skied til 4. 9 out of 10 on the jazz hand scale. -1 for some really sticky, apply the parking break really quick type snow/slush. Leg burner session for sure. Onto Killington today. More warm weather on tap for today.

Come on Delco, think wildwood, ok? Beach party. Miller Lattes, floaties, badminton, corn hole and Delco flags everywhere.

sounds like it.

i didnt think this trail was gonna make it. it must get pretty interesting around where the lift goes over it the first time, right before it does the merge with Cliffhanger (?)

Today was fun AF, spring skiing at its largest. First “invite only” run on cliffy was mostly very firm with some patches of soft snow. The invite only run was basically us just following some patrollers, and probably some of their friends. After 2 runs on the other 2 distinctly unique top to bottom runs, cliffy was in superb spring condition. Last run down it to the bar that wasnt open yet, was glorious. give credit where it is due, camelback came through with the goods. Its probably gonna be pretty interesting when thats the only trail open. what ever run u get off the lift and go right, might not make it tomorrow.

According to the website, Sunday was their last day for the season.

Wait, 11 distinctly unique TTB runs, or just distinctly unique runs? Im getting so confused.

Right? all of a sudden skiing in PA is ok? Wasnt Hunter the bomb like 2 years ago?

Wish it was a little warmer today, but we managed to ski all of the open, uniquely different runs that Blue had to offer. Rode 2 of the unique lifts at Blue, too. Not crowded. leftover mimosas from last week after skiing with my pals.

wasnt there some discussion about saucering being the next thing at the party? https://www.facebook.com/reel/1235999408633450

you should absolutely quit what ever job you have and go run a ski resort.

The sucky part is, it gets kinda cold at night this weekend, so i am anticipating less than spring conditions, which kinda sucks, cause i am with you. not seeing next weekend. if we are going out this weekend, i would prefer more spring like conditions. and some really sketchy skiing on something. But Camelback with have many largely distinct trails open the following weekend.

They have 4 TTB runs. Blue probably has the same. Arguing over who has the most TTB runs in PA is like arguing over who has the best boiled hot dog. i will argue that switchback last weekend was way more fun than any trail at Camelback.

oh fantastic. a rail jam. im in.

the other place with the 16 distinct and unique TTB runs? that place?

oh man. i thought upper main might hold on a little longer. looks like the bumps really could still go, i mean, kinda like switchback last weekend.

Lots of good skiing today. Switchback was rotd. So much fun.

they did the "its not our last day" thing last year too, and i think it ended up being their last day. but open next weekend, i will take it for sure. April 4 will extra special if they make it.

Midway was really nice. raceway, meh. Raceway to midway is one of my favs, but hasnt been worth talking about much this year, at least the days i skied it. NMDW was good too. its time to knock the obstacles down on that trail. at least get rid of that one rail at the bottom before someone wipes out into it. I mean, switch probably could have gone today, it would have been rough, but thats always super fun when things get a little spicey.

I am personally flexing my Ikon pass, or kinda braggin about it, but i was just wondering, like i know Doug doesnt ski Sundays anymore, but he might have a few trips to Camelback on Saturdays,

has anyone figured out if the $20 or $30 ticket is a one time thing, or multiple tickets now through June?
