Depends on when you're there.

I'm at Blue currently. Conditions are great. Temps are comfortable. NMDW is skiing really well.

What's the elevator looking like?

11 or so. Challenge was even better at that time.

I'll let it slide... This time

Thanks for the shout out. I only rode the lift with you about 100 times. Anyway so nice to ski challenge and switchback for the first time this year. Both of which were fantastic. Switchback especially. Dreamweaver on the other hand was shit. Cookie surfing basically. Overall a pretty awesome day though. Probably be back tomorrow for an evening sesh.

in case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, the media is an absolute joke.

I'm on my way. All this talk of cookies has me getting hungry. A balmy 3 degrees out right now

How many years have I known you and you still can't spell my name lol? Prepare for the most epic of TRs. We're bringing PASR back out of the dumpster.

I actually collect trail maps. I have stockpiles in the closet.. My girlfriend loves it. Lol

Haha

I don't think so either but even if it is the case who cares? Every hill is different. Yes the top is flat but the bottom is steeper than Blue. Montage probably has better snow / grooming as well. Blue is a completely different animal all together. While I love skiing Blue and has plenty of things that make it great, it isn't, nor should be, the gold standard by which everything else is compared.

Uncle Bills?

Still no razors?

Just back from Sir Jackson of Frost. Wanted to meet up with Dan who I just missed and Phillycore who was busy at lineup so today was a solo session. The snow started at 1030 and continued pretty much the entire time that I was there until a little after 1. There were some bouts of sleet mixed in but nothing major. The snow was pretty damn good. I pretty much lapped elevator glade and happyland (what I could ski of it) today. E glade (pic attached) was worth the price of admission. It was so damn good. The elevator however was a jungle with sticker bushes and branches everywhere, good for maybe 2 turns then out to river shot. It looks eerily familiar... Like 6 years ago familiar when it was unskiable. Sadly unless we get a serious dump it may be that way this season. Anyway a good time at frost today for certain with nice snow with a little fresh mixed in for good measure.

Pretty much straight snow until one then it switched to sleet

I'm just leaving frost now today was good. I'll post more when I get home

New year... Same Doug haha.

Good point actually. Bethlehem drops a Peep.

The very top of the elevator is steeper, especially the baller route on skiers left. The elevator is much shorter though. Both are legit runs.

CBI had a New year's eve ball drop last night. I'm not kidding, they had a giant lit up ball hanging from a crane. I always knew that place was classy.

Sorry I missed you guys on the snow. The upside of that though was that I got to hear all of the gaper conversation on the lift including multiple references to the "powder", multiple "what's the name of that trail", a complete stranger showing off her new boots to another complete stranger and my favorite, how "Blue is a huge mountain, ... Much bigger than spring". Snow was good. Main Street was great. The snowmaking assault was ongoing. Razors looks real close. Started to get really crowded and it appeared that they were firing up the quad. All in all a fun day. .

There's just way too much going on a CB. Every time I'm there I feel like skiing is just another thing. Skiing should be the only thing to do but that's probably why I could never run a resort. Trails aren't horrible (Pharoah and that double black trail are fun, can't remember the name) but most of it gets old quick, it's crowded and there is way too much trash under the lifts. Oh then there's that roller coaster thing.

Looking much better. Gonna try for tomorrow morning.

Pillow lines? Gnar??? You are talking about Big Boulder ski area in Lake Harmony Pennsylvania correct? Home of the Bunny Schuss and the tilted pool table known as freedom park.
