Southwest is about $500 round trip, unless you catch a deal, and they seem to be less and less frequent these days. Its so easy to rack up a free flight every year with their card. I think the most expensive lift ticket you will find in Utah is to the Bird, and i dont think the window price has even hit $80 yet. Get tickets at the ski shop on the way to the mountain and save a few more bucks. kind of ridiculous how cheap the tix are in Utah compared to Co. Last year i booked our car through southwest, and it seemed like depending on what day it was, the price of the car was different. I want to say the car cost us ~ $250 for 4-5 days.

I'm in the same boat....and its fucking killing me. have to be back in the Delco area by 5 PM Saturday. Not sure i wanna take the chance of sitting on 476, similar to last weekends fun. I wish Chadds Peak was still open.

Vinny - if you get a few guys together, look into a rental house. around 3 people it starts to become quite a viable option.

Snow has begun to fall on East Mountain. No signs of Sasquatch.

This is absolutely the truth. JF is never really that crowded, and its redeeming feature for lack of vert is the trees. (which are pretty far from being skiable) They are pretty limited on slopes right now, but i guess Tuesday they can really crank things up again. Blue has the most open, i believe.

Glad i got off at lansdale and took some back roads. I thought 476 was gonna turn into a parking lot. Rejoined the circus on 476 in plymouth meeting though. People coming home from skiing should be the only ones allowed on the roads in that type of situation.

I'm in for this weekend.

Might be some snow on the back end of fridays rain.

I was there both days for a morning session, left about noon on both days. Saturdays snow resembled Blue's surface from Friday, just on a little smaller scale. Sunday the snow was real nice. Snow drift was fun to play in, as long as you could imagine the trees being there. Attendance was definitely nothing spectacular. maybe the afternoon/evening was better, but i never waited in a line. bunny swish should be open this weekend. They opened Upper Skidmark Sunday, which is the trail that connects Love to Freedom. It seems as though they are using fan guns only to make snow. Progress seems a little slow just using the fan guns. Overheard the girl on the phone tell someone Frost would be open Saturday. hopefully they hit it hard last week, From the pics i have seen, the ski school area looks deep. They were blowing on Challange as well.

Empty.

Is the time machine all juiced up?

you have to be kidding me.

They do, two photos. My bitch is, they just post photos, but never mention what trails they are working on, (at either JF or BB), and what they plan to have open for the weekend. Their info always seems limited. Its like they go with the theory that no news is good news. I know that Blue is opening Friday at 8:30.

Nah. that would be out of character for them. There is no good reason to inform people of anything before its absolutely necessary. it sure would be nice to know what they think they will have open, and when. I know that is asking for a lot, though. It looks like Love is ready to go, and i would say boulder trail is close as well.

Guns are still on. light snow. production looks pretty good from the webcams....when they work.

it looks as though they are blowing on boulder trail.

Better call up Plattekill too, those fuckers had their lights on as well.

Making snow at Frost. I read it on the internet, so it must be true. I wonder if they had the lights on.

i think the cost of the lights being on is minimal compared to what it takes to push thousands of gallons at whatever psi uphill. And dont forget they need to toss in a little compressed air to make the magic happen.

Right. so just keep him there from the start. i wont feel sorry for him.

yep. That kids lucky that the guy stopped after two......and the guys he was with should be thankful they dont have holes in them. The kid got two bullet holes, and a year in jail. to me, that seems like he got off easy.

In August in Lansing, several black people tried to play the Knockout Game with a twist: They used a taser. It misfired. The victim’s gun did not. He wounded his attacker but stopped firing after the Knockout Artist begged for mercy. Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/11/surprise-media-finally-wake-up-to-knockout-game/#LORMZLx8TM8La7TS.99 Pretty fucked up. i mean the whole knockout thing. the kid that did this is so lucky he is still alive.

11/22-11/24 The Update Update is back but for a limited time only.... and it will be in print..... This weekends hours are.... Friday 3-9 Saturday 12-9 Sunday 12-8 $25 lift ticket each day. There will be a POPUP event held on one of the 3 days, look for the Big Boulder PARK tent to enter whatever the event may be. We are working on getting more trails open meaning dress warm and bring your goggles because there will be snowmaking going on as long as tempatures permit! So, Freedom is open again for this weekend.

i concur. Doesnt look like quite enough production, with temps after this morning no-go for snowmaking, until sat evening. Close, but close only counts in horsehoes, hand grenades, and diarrhea.

Thank you
