Conditions are like frosted flakes today.... They're grrrrrrrreat! Spring like but not too mashed potatoey. Awesome weather. Feelin' it today.

And all of that stinks in my opinion.

Ouch. Come on Vail...time to pony up.

Strange snow this morning. Warm temps & rain seem to be taking their toll unfortunately. Burma may have been the best trail condition wise. NMDW was decent. Amazing how light crowds were for the middle of January. Still a fun day. Think snow...

My bad. I thought it was money that someone else dropped.

You should've lied and said you dropped a glove or something. No shame in that.

Challenge Glade top to bottom (aka Happyland) is a pretty great trail for PA. Will give frost that for sure.

Doug for sure knows how to write a report.

Shame because it was so "wintery" last night.

Was fun tonight but the busses were out in force. Conditions were good. Crowds weren't. Challenge was closed. Para weaver, upper main, lazy were all nice. Lotsa snowmaking.

Probably tomorrow night then IDK.

School closed last minute today. Was a 2 hour delay but the squalls are a comin' apparently. Sunny out right now.

Just ordered a pair of O Frames. Oakley are the only goggle that I've used that don't fog up on me.

No doubt

Wed and Thursday look good for a night sesh.

I actually suggested Shawnee (post #13 above) but ok.

You suggested it and that's fine. I disagreed with it and that's fine too. You then, in turn, make an underhanded jab at Blue (or PA) like you frequently do which, in turn, results in contention. There are plenty of well respected PASRs who ski and live in MUCH better places than either PA or NY and they never shit on PA. You, for some reason, like to and it's old TBH.

I'd love it if he came again this year.

Read. The OP went to Blue and had a great time. So much so that he (or she) wants to go skiing again. So yes this is about Blue. Second (and this may come as a shock to you) your opinions are not fact. There are plenty of places where Blue has natural beauty. When I lived in Philly (a while back) coming to blue was like getting out into the wilderness and it was part of the experience. It's called perspective (this person is coming from NY). Are you seriously that arrogant that you believe your opinions are universally shared by everyone else? My opinion is that skiing in a fucking man made tube in East Rutherford NJ in the winter is stupid. I wouldn't expect everyone else to subscribe to it.

2-7... Rummy Big Al Hermanator Me Toast Enjorales (is Dad coming again?) Mute? Indiggio? Anyone else?

You always gotta get your jabs in don't you? Stick to music and your mighty, Himalaya like Catskill mountains.

Sounds like a plan to me. Will do just that tomorrow.

Wow...been tough to coordinate this year. If we stick with a Friday...The Friday after the 7th is Valentine's day which could be hard for some. Friday after that is the 21st which feels a little late. There are ski trips in March so that may be tough. If no one can do the 7th then I'd say maybe a formal Elk day isn't in the cards for this year, unless there's a better day of the week that works for the majority. Has to be good with Rummy and Big Al of course. Not sure I feel like trying to figure out days anymore to be honest.

That looks a shit ton better than it did last night. Amazing what a little snow can do.

Bump. We're a month away. Make arrangements now to go now if you can. Let's get the official roll call going for 2-7. Who's in?
