The blow over from rivershot covers the Elevator pretty quickly. The glade part of it may need a nice storm. I believe the guns on Floyd's face skiers right towards Risk It so blowing on Floyd's may not help the glade unless there's a atrong wind blowing the other way. Still...very cool to know that not only did they completely clear the old elevator, they cleared out the trees adjacent to it as well...definitely stoked.

Nice find core!

mid October turns in PA...

Albrightsville

There are giant flakes falling outside my window now. It's not really accumulating, but still cool to see when I look outside.

here's a pic of Blue Mt. I took a little earlier. and this one in the yard...

They put up new photos of the Elevator on line. They're pretty small though. http://jfbb.com/news/2009/10/14/elevator

sweet...I'm jealous

From looking at those pictures again, I just realized how narrow it is. Unless they widen it, I think hop turns may be in order

I think I still have some thorns stuck in my gloves. Many many thanks. East Mt. is back.

lol...That run better at least be Tuscarora to Iroquois in about 10 inches of Wasatch like powder.

I'm pretty sure that they are, probably more so at the larger resorts (Killington, Stowe etc.) If not and you're looking for a job on the snow, You can always teach for a few extra bucks and free skiing.

I'm a fan of Elk and all but $700? and that's an early season discount.

Right...next time I'll consult the manual before posting. In the mean time, it matters because I don't want the chipped off portions to get any larger.

I got a pretty good deal on a set of Public Enemies on eBay. They're in very good condition (bases are fine). There are a few chips on the top sheets that are annoying me though. They're not a major deal but I know they're there and it bothers me plus I don't want them to chip any more. Anyone have any recommendations / experience for fixing top sheets (epoxy brands, etc.) and method to fix?

And it begins!!!!

Nice stoke! I have a feeling I'll be spending more time in the trees at Frost this season than on the trails.

Sweet photos! Thanks. I love Grand Canyon (and pretty much all of AZ for that matter)

Congrats PC. Enjoy them.

Just when you thought the place couldn't get any better, they go and they add a 60 acre gladed run WF rocks.

BoardinNerd, midweek skiing at JF with no crowds and having the place to yourself, especially in good snow, is as good as it gets in PA.

The weekends in Vermont option, no question. I'm not into the park scene though. Someone who is may have a different answer. If that's your thing it may be worth it to stay local and save the gas / money.

Sleeping in the lot?...at Blue? I don't think any PA resort would know how to react to that. They'll probably see you and make you leave after the lifts close.

Jack Frost - only Mt. in the area that allows and encourages tree skiing, some steep terrain, good snow most of the time, going fast and carving turns on Thunderbolt and Challenge, good folks to ski with, get to take a run before riding a lift, nice views. Elk Mt. - decent vert and sustained pitches on trails like Iroquois, and Mohawk, dedicated Bump Run, lots of great skiers there, great snow most of the time Sno Mt - The North Face, White Lightning. Blue Mt. - good lifts, razors, challenge and sidewinder are as fun as it gets in this part of ski country Camelback - good lift system, free tickets to other Mt pass holders, stays open late, Pharaoh and Cliffhanger Big Boulder - opens early and closes late Whiteface - my new favorite Mt. - ridiculous vertical, steeps, Lake Placid

lol PASR day anyone?
