Between landsdale and quakertown. It's the highest overpass with big rock faces on both sides I believe

Ya I've been using the touch screens at Conshy McDonald's after snowboarding

ya the silver SUV, i believe acura

Nice, I didn't know you could see Liberty 1 and 2, I've driven that route for years and never noticed til like 2 weeks ago

I've also noticed that for the first time this year. At first I wasn't sure if I could see all the way to philly from there, but then thought there won't be anything that tall between there and philly

while i love the idea, i feel like it could go wrong real quick lol

to be fair, the access road has a fireworks store on it, so Camelback has that going for it.

lol reminds me of Homer's Spinal Tap tour shirt

one thing ive learned over the years when the weather is going to be questionable at blue...get there ASAP before they decide to close early. for instance, i feel like there have been countless times over the years where it pours all morning til early afternoon, then the sun comes out and its beautiful, but blue decides to close early at 4. i was worried this would happen yesterday, which is why i didnt plan for a blue night session. as we all saw, this plan backfired on me tremendously

do you find skiing is easier on your bad knee?

i couldnt believe they had the diamond under the old triple open, probably the most haggard conditions ive ridden in recent memory lol. actually made things more interesting and fun

since so few people were there yesterday, some of the seats on the lifts still hadnt been put down at 7pm. both myself and the lifty didnt notice a chair coming around that didnt have the seat down. i tried to jump out of the way but the chair hit me right on my bad knee. had me freaked out all night but so far so good

i didnt mention this yesterday cause it put me in a bad mood, but today im laughing about it. my dumbass arrived at blue at 8:25 am yesterday to see the lifts not spinning. i checked their facebook and no updates, logged on here and saw they were closed. i checked their facebook like 5 times on the drive up and saw nothing, but its my fault for not checking the website, i should know better. only the second time ive ever showed up at the mountain and it was closed, last time was at camelback and i just drove to montage for $10 tuesdays. to make matters worse, i decided to try the palmerton route home. i made a wrong turn and ended up in like schencksville and walnutport and orefield lol. once i got home it was like 10 am, so while i wasted gas and tolls, i would have slept in til that time anyway so no huge deal. riding bear later that night made up for it

figured i would add my little report from last night to kyle's thread. a good time was had. there were probably 10 other people there besides me and ski patrol. i regret not getting pics, but i dont like to ride with my phone and the place was so empty, i parked in the first row so the lodge blocked any picture potential. when i got on the slopes at 6:15, it was apparent nobody had been there all day, as there was still frozen cord everywhere. also, half the seats on the lifts that were running hadnt been put down yet, and lifties would have to run out and put the seat down for you. everything was open except the diamond that takes you from the far quad (old triple) back to the base (the trail that used to have a sign saying you could die). alot of trails were hurting for snow, especially on the old triple side, there were spots where the dirt and shit stains took up 3/4 of the trail width. driving to bear i had been thinking i would get hit with huge waves of nostalgic feelings regarding my former home mountain and place where i learned to snowboard. instead, it felt like i had just been there recently and never left, even though this was my first time back in 9 years. i told the ticket agent I was a blue season pass holder and see mentioned i wasnt the first blue mountain pass holder to go to bear that day.

why do i live in PA?

Rode from 8-9:45. I got fucking soaked but i enjoyed razors, night weaver, and switchback for first time this year

Any general idea on when the rain to ice freeze over will happen at blue?

well fuck yea
