Is your flight at 4:45PM on United?

Hey All, Its almost another weekend, is anybody skiing Blue mountain this weekend? Tomorrow looks cold as has been the case the last few saturdays and Sunday looks a bit milder. The snowmakers are planning on blowing snow tonight…I plan on skiing both days. JADIP

Salty doesn’t drink. I guess when he was in college, he drank to many shots of champagne and swore off the booze.

Riding the left you can see the base is about two inches on lower Main Street. Atomic Jeff suggested they just close it tomorrow for snowmaking and I said that’s not gonna happen.

Time to book your trip or if not hit up whiteface, looks epic up there.

Hey All, I’m back from another morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot around 825am and it was 40 degrees with 20-30mph winds. In the house were Atomic AJeff, ZZSlope, BethlehemFord crew, Rodney, Oz and a bunch of boomers. I was able to get my bad foot in my foot ok and pain was a 2.5 out of 10. Aside from walking a little slow, the skiing seemed the same except for less angulation which is something that wasn’t needed much with todays snow. Started on the new summit safari six pack and it stopped for a solid 6-7 minutes about 1/3 of the way up. Began on Lazy mile which was firm and smooth with a lot of leaves. Was going to go to the quad but that was stopped so back to the new six pack again and skied Widowmaker to midway to lower Main Street. Widowmaker had one very bare section and lower Main Street is a giant skeet spot. Midway skied well for about 7 seconds. Up the quad and rode with ZZSlope, went down coming soon which was firm and semi choppy, lower paradise was good on the left and bad on the right. Then down challenge which was ok, pretty slick at the top and softer lower down. Paradise was decent but the wind made things slow and switchback had the whitest snow on the hill and least about of bare areas. All in all I’d rate the conditions a 4+, not quite a 5. Snowmaking tonight is very much needed… was rocking out to this song

There’s even an African American ski instructor at Blue.

Correct.

The skeet spots on Main Street don’t even look that bad. A little overnight snowmaking will make things nice. Looks like a super GSS course is set up on Raisins Ledge.

Saltys posts lately have been cringe

It’s sprained I guess it’s happened a few times before. Pain was like 8 out of 10 yesterday AM and now like a 5.5 out of 10.

Only weekdays for root after he drops his rug rat off at school and yes for one season I believe.

Strike two

Oh yeah and welcome back Eaf..coming back to ski PA after your euro adventures is rough..it was the same for me after Jackson hole. Think cold thoughts and maybe Saturday morning we’ll be blasted in the face with sticky manmade

Wow that’s a wonderful deal….mountain creek is actually on my list of places I want to visit. My dad learned to ski there in the 60s when it was Vernon valley great gorge and there was also a playboy club at one time and of course action park or class action park that place was wild and crazy. I’ve never been. Eaf post about how there are so many options and I know Root was there on some jersey pork roll holiday.

Reminds me of national lampoons European vacation. It’s nice when they give you the whole can of fizzy pop or juice. Can fill that little cup up about tree times.

You’re not getting a buddy pass..we all park at the top now.

Sounds good I didn’t go this morning, the fog was thick plus my foot is bugging me…I just took an Aleve and four weed pills for my foot I should be good soon prob even try on my boots for stoke. Woo woo.

Possible snow for the Poconos Monday night into Tuesday. Maybe Lehigh valley as well. Stay tuned to this potential weather event

Saturday

Salty whatever soda you’re drinking pass it this way.

Cheers to cocktail sauce…here’s the cock sauce my friend gave me and some shrimp I had with the sauce.

Have you ever had fish and chips come with potato chips instead of fries? I like fried fish with cock tail sauce. My friend got me this spicy cocktail sauce from a steakhouse in Indiana.

No but I plan on it before march 15. I’ll figure out how to apply gift card to season pass. Thanks for the heads up about the fish and chips.

Looks like nice snowmaking temperatures Friday night into Saturday..perhaps through most of the day Saturday. Seems like saturdays have been the cold day and spring skiing during the week. Like my third favorite Katie Perry song Hot and Cold
