I agree. Go alone and give them the business after you have a great time!

Blue's version.

Thinking about picking up one of these, does anyone know if they work and how well? http://thermajock.com/

Make lift ticket prices dependent upon state of slider's (or guardian's thereof) driver's license...

I think it depends on the existing terrain. If it warrants a park, then so be it. But if they're gonna waste some good steep just to make a park, then no. Regardless, the more terrain the better!

Not only that, but just people who flat-out don't belong going down the slope. At least the smart ones take off their skis and walk back up or pop em and butt-slide down. But then there are the many that just outta control bomb it with little way of stopping but biting it or worse, running into someone. Good they put bumps on it!

Let's hope so. Perhaps cut it right so there are a number of good trails off of it, not just waste a ton of land on another cutback beginner's slope like Paradise. I would think they'd build the hotel out where they're putting the water park for easy access to the road.

Going further east. Started cutting it already left side of quad, I believe.

Was wondering what the conversation was about, trying to read lips... "So, what beers do you like?" May show up here eventually http://www.slhn.org/Healthy-Living/Talk-Doctor/Programs/2013.aspx

Saw toast21602 on "Talk with your Doctor" last night... Where does he go from here?

philly, when are you going to add this latest one to your signature?

Thanks for the report. Some day, some way...

Many of his posts come out of left-field and crack me up.

He's probably going through DTs right about now... (starving for attention).

Just playing the devil's advocate (not arguing, just discussing).... I'm not sure you can go by lessons either. I agree, read and know from instructors that snowboard lessons are far lower than ski lessons, but who really knows why? I tend to believe that the mindset is: I skateboarded as a kid, I can snowboard or My friend is taking me snowboarding, so they'll teach me or Lessons are too expensive, how hard can it be? Just look around on any given weekend day and you'll see tons of boarders out there trying to learn on their own, most failing miserably. A question for you, did you take a ski or snowboard lesson when you started? The first time I went skiing was with a bunch of college kids: "It's easy! We'll teach you to ski. All you have to do is snow-plow". It wasn't until I was proficient, did I take a lesson to see if they could help me improve. All I'm saying is that I don't think lessons are that much better/worse indicator than snowboard sales as to whether snowboarding is on the decline or not. Probably market research would be the only real way to determine whether it's on the decline or not. Lift ticket sales would be complicated due to repeat customer, season passes, etc.

The other weekend I rode up the 6-pack with a triplet of middle-aged women. They broke out some lagers and proceeded to pound them. Then they whipped out a bunch of undergarments and proceeded to increase the decoration of the new bra tree on Lower Sidewinder. Cracked me up!

I have to believe they did some market research at some point, at least I would hope they did to gamble that much money...

They need something that nobody has around the area, like this...

Found this too that shows location and orientation... http://www.poconorecord.com/assets/pdf/PR1349126.PDF

Most of the time I am...

Surely the lift lines would be short!

So long as they keep offering the discounted season passes.

Mad one yesterday. Nice and warm up top, cracked, frozen face by the time you got down to the lifts. Afternoon snow and temps were spectacular.

I'm simply a beer drinking, donut eating, motorcycle and roller-coaster riding, snow dancing, dope of a skier, in search of another day in paradise... Sincerely, indiggio
