  1. Ha, ha, ha, ha...I'm laughing so hard! Your friend NaCL-y
  2. Barb won't pay for the diesel.
  3. Closing at 4pm due to freezing rain.
  4. And miss all the Jerry-mandering?
  5. Another parking lot pic... Drive home was pretty spicy, lots of traction control light flashing going on.
  6. Supposed to start switching around noon.
  7. The snow you encountered was most likely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graupel which has a weird consistency. We sometimes get it at Blue during a conversion from snow to rain. You don't need a down day for the hot springs, just check the weather for a clear night and make plans to get a bus ride or drive up early evening after early dinner. The number of stars you'll see out there will blow your mind.
  8. QFT! Can't let all that goodness go to waste!
  9. We have to take what we get at Blue, but I too prefer natural bumps as they're far more fun. Skier-made (say Alta's) are the very best, as the separation between turns is more consistent.
  10. Yeah, looking like the warm air has moved northward farther than previously predicted. Hard to say how long the cold air in place is going to withstand the warm onslaught. Still calling for snow to start around 7am in Palmerton and continue to 12pm.
  11. Are you planning on hitting the Strawberry Park hot springs while out there? You'll be glad you did, especially if you go up on a crystal clear night! Also snowmobile tours are pretty fun out there too, if you have/want a down day.
  12. All depends on what you're looking to get out of them. If you want to zipper, they're easier, since you can get into a rhythm. Zipperlining natural bumps, to me, is far harder as you have to make faster decisions with faster feet to maintain the speed.
  13. Keep your hands up and forward. The moment you put them down at your sides, you're transitioning you mr center of gravity rearward, hence riding on your heels. Always keep your weight on the balls of your feet and your shins engaged with the tongue of your boot. Keeping your hands up and forward helps maintain this position.
  14. It's how you ski moguls. You don't carve in a mogul run, but pivot while on the saddle between the bumps. You learn to use very slight edge control to adjust your speed. Carving is for groomed slopes.
  15. There was a competition this past weekend.
  16. Yup, but there was plenty of other runs with fresh perder to ski until Razors opened. Razors had some sweet fresh along the fences, since people are too scared to ski close to them.
  17. Exactly how Sunday went...
  18. Just the tip, nothing more, nothing less!
  19. Don't forget the RTMs, like anyone around here ever will anymore.
  20. Get your GoAmateur out and record the lesson for posterity.
  21. Have a good trip and don't drink too little!
