If it's not 100% open, probably just bail and hit bear creek or Jack frost
I'll second this. Doesn't seem like it makes sense if they aren't 100% like local gems around here.

Probably Saturday but definitely at least one of the two days. I wanted to go up this morning with the 8:00 opening but the rain scared me away because I'm soft.

It's a lot but it isn't going to stop anybody here from buying a pass to Blue that already has one. We'll bitch and moan about it and complain here and at the end of the day will still buy one.

There’s snow in the long range forecast. It will be interesting to see how hardcore Blue wants to blow snow.
I don't think they want to, but again, what do I know...

@toast21602 is probably pumped, it’s warm enough for the grass to grow.
Nah, I kind of want snow. As much as I enjoy sitting outside right now at work, we have only had a handful of a few winter days. I have a feeling it's going to be a cold and snowy April. But what do I know...

I'm going to UT tomorrow, see the fam and do some skiing. When I went to check in the fights I booked 2 weeks or so ago were for the right dates but March.
I even checked after I booked and still my brain went that's right lol lol
I never make mistakes like that, maybe I'm getting old or probably just need to sleep more
Well at least your got that taken care of before showing up at the airport and have a story that you won't forget 😂 Have a great trip!

It's such a nice day out and I so wanted to go but I got home super late and when I went to check in for my flights I discovered I booked for March which is a problem as its February.
I've never made a mistake like that so I figured I should sleep more and went back to sleep.
wait. what? lol.

How much vert is a lap to the top? 20 min seems damn fast you robot.
I think it’s only about 700’.

It's been a while since I've taken the skins out for some uphill so I decided to finally do it with the Indy pass for the first time this year. I headed up to Shawnee this morning and pulled into the lot around 9:00. Temp in the lot was 54 degrees. I had shorts on under my snow pants and the vents opened to the climb. All I wore was a long sleeved tech shirt with my jacket in my pack. if it got cold.
Booted up, redeemed my ticket, and was on the snow around 9:20.
20:04 seconds later I was at the top. Lots of kiddies and ski patrol out today for national ski patrol day or something like that. One thing I love about Shawnee is that the SP are super friendly and I've always had some of them stop to talk with me as I'm skinning up.
Skied down the terrain park and back to the base, then put the skins on for another lap. 19:48 later I was back at the top. Another lovely skin lap.
I ended up just skinning two laps and then take some lift runs as well. Quite a lovely morning and I look forward to getting back there again soon. I could care less about 100% terrain open when skinning up and only skiing a few trails. Truly good times.
My one complaint is that I forgot to bring some seltzers to drink at the top. Better luck next time.
Cheers.

Had a blast. Super warm out even at the start. I skipped on the brewery and went for a run instead. Will post a report later.

They used to have what was called a disco box that lit up..I used to hit that almost every run back in my Pseudo Jibhonk days of straight airs, spread eagles, 50-50 boxes and Tindys.
I actually got mandatory air yesterday exiting Stalins Ditch..and any higher I’d need to see a chiropractor. Nastar Glenn would have been a foot higher cause he’s a couple pounds lighter than me..
Oh shit I remember that thing. Thanks rain man 😂

Which ski runs do you think they should add galactic lights to?
Love this question. Thanks for proposing it.
I would enjoy it on the full Lazy Mile as well as down the central gully on Main Street.

@enjoralas I took the bus from ABE-EWR recently as a test (same bus they use from ABE-PHL). It was really nice. More comfortable than the CRJ200 they fly ABE-ORD. It's a seriously good option departing out of ABE. Painless.
This is good to know.

Probably making the trek up to Shawnee for some opening uphill laps Friday morning. Leaving around 11:20 to hit Shawnee Craft Brewing when they open at 12:00, and then back to Bethlum area because I have a 2:00 meeting back on campus. If anybody is interested or hitching a ride let me know.

Good conditions today, little chilly but beats the sloppy sugar conditions recently. @toast21602 brought you a double dry hopped king julius but didn't see you. @mute1080 was so excited he threw his in the parking lot. Saved one for you as its really good.
Great day, not as great as new England last week and certainly not a 40+" inch Jackson hole powder day but still not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning
Ah I appreciate that! Maybe next time. no worries if you drink it. I completely understand.

Freefall was fantastic this morning. I got separated early and lapped that until I left at 9 to go run. Nice to feel winter for a day.
