Are tickets still discounted? Have not bought a pass this year yet.

😃 Not a mcmansion... 😃 Everything is cheaper up here. And no, regular skiis for here... Powder skiis would help a bit I am sure.

From skiing this morning. 😃

So... answered the question... can I ski on property... YES! Went out today and tested my two "trails." The long one running down the side of my property is about 350 feet.... While it will be perfect for my 3 year old... all of this fresh powder was tough to ski and was sinking in, tougher to build up speed... perhaps if packed would be great... The shorter but steeper one was actually pretty cool.... from the top of the septic drain field, through the narrow part between my "trees" and the side of the house, down to the street. https://imgur.com/a/NpYCvW9 https://imgur.com/a/cNfHVUh https://imgur.com/a/gfQE7E8

Was driving home from Phillipsburg the other day and saw someone crossing into PA in a Silver or White C300 Benz, custom tags, "Epic Ski" iirc... anyone here? 😃

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule (self employed). Obviously part of moving here was to be able to ski more... wondering, does it make sense to go one further and work as an instructor at one of the local mountains? Or too much BS, not enough pay to justify the passes?

LOL, I may go out shortly and try skiing down my sloping yard.

wait... you can ski on leaves?

Central Jersey, Exit 8 on the pike.

The breakeven here in PA is a lot more than in NJ as the electric rates are about 30% less.

I got to say, I am liking the idea of blowing own snow.... Do wonder how much it would be in electricity... no solar installed yet but fortunately don't need to worry about water as we have our own well.

Oh boy....

Wow that IS insane. Wonder how long the hike up took.

Haha, thanks. So yes, would be predominately for my kiddos and kids of same age in the family. Main question was about whether would need to pack the snow or not... good idea on the snow blower. Have a lawn tractor attachment (snow blower) and can throw it in the right direction.

Hey all. So if you did not see my earlier post, moved out from NJ to Lehigh Valley, living about 10 mins north of Easton. Part of the appeal of our property is the nearly 2 acres and some nice hills. From one corner of the property to the other there is a fairly gentle slope, dropping about 50 vertical feet over 400 feet, with a nice bump which would make an awesome jump. Yes, it is not a replacement for a mountain... BUT I figure it would be awesome for my daughter who will be 3 by the time winter hits and our friends/family members. So.... How feasible? How much pain in the ass would it be?

Looking at their website... Those rates are nuts... https://www.tentrr.com/s/sites/?a=4&page=1&north=43.5326204268101&south=37.70120736474139&east=-69.9169921875&west=-78.046875&page_size=30

TF? For that money I would rather stay at a nicer hotel. Heck, if anyone wants, I have two acres and nearly in the poconos... you can set up a tent in my backyard on a hill. lol.

Can you then use the gift cards at 20 off to buy the 3 packs?

Glad to see these deals here. Seems like the prices overall for the areas is coming down. Wonder how much better, if at all, the deal will be on Black Friday.

Wonder if there is a limit.... Buy up a bunch of used skis on craigslist...

Got there today at the end of the day. Place was nearly cleaned out. Picked up used boots for my 2 year old for $10. Picked up two pairs in different sizes. Too cheap to pass up. Also picked up a nice pair of gloves for $15

If i am not mistake, Blue ran the 3 for $90 or $100 on Black Friday for the last couple of years. I suspect they will once again.

Humn, Elk is not as far as I thought it was from central jersey. Could be interesting. Need to move to PA faster. lol.

NP. Browse the site, some really awesome deals. You can get 2 year old skis on there, still new of course, $250 or so for $800 skis. I bought my last pair that way, $250 for nice new Atomic Nomads with bindings and all, 1 year old model, new were like $650 or so. Just this year bought new helmet for daughter, a new Giro, also half priced. From Level9. quick shipping, were awesome. For ski stuff, like googles/helmets/gloves there is Dvor.com, it is the deals site for opticsplanet.com

Aha. Just priced out for daughter. $60 for last year's dalbello boots, and $190 for skis/bindings. Level9Sports and Evo. Plenty of awesome deals if you look. All new. Better yet, here is a complete package for $180. https://www.levelninesports.com/defiance-trio-girl-s-complete-ski-package-2017
