Would this be a typical PASR situation where we are there from 9am to 11 and then its over?

Anthony’s was great! Took me back in time for sure. It was super old school in there, we ate A LOT. We had some long hots with prosciutto and provolone first, then I had some “piggy soup”. We had a tray of old forge thin crust red, and I ordered some ricotta gnocchi with vodka sauce and a huge meatball. It was 10/10. I pooped 3 times on Saturday morning.
So I was up that way after Blue on Saturday. Rolled in absolutely frozen and mom had some piggy soup ready to go to warm the soul. That might want out for some food to Leggios in plains and also ordered gnocchi with vodka sauce, along with a white pizza topped with fresh ricotta and tortellini with Alfredo sauce.

overflow lot or whatever it is north of us was packed
They might have left some ice in the lot but they aren't leaving money on the table today. Chilly but good snow. Looking forward to another bluebird day tomorrow

i'm guessing blue is first?
I saw that email. Also had no idea they had 47 snow tubing lanes. That sounds like a lot and this is officially the year I go over and try it out one time.

Blue builds some really nice parks, though they make my shoulder hurt just looking at them.

Fantasy lift? Do tell...
Deadhead Bob told me, with great certainty, that the fantasy lift is actually a funicular.

Epic might be the way to go next year. If all the bad publicity this year pushes people onto Ikon the crowds will just shift and maybe Vail resorts will be a little more mild.

Saw 3 cars in ditches on the way home.
There was a car that went sideways on the ramp ahead of me coming home. Backed things up pretty good. There were some guys trying to push it and from the little distance I could see it looked like they were flailing around like some high school kids who were too scared to call their dads for help. As I got closer it was a bunch of grown men in designer clothes trying to get their Porche to move, so I just drove around them.

Is it good base building snow? It's all gone down here. I'm hoping this stuff will just compact and then the next snowfall will be skiable.

Looks like it all went to rain overnight in the KOP area and washed everything away except for a few slushy spots. On my drive it started to switch back to snow as I drove through MALVERN and was almost all snow when I got to Exton. The clouds are so dark too. Looks like the sun never even came up.

I’m sorry I missed out. I way overdid it last night at the bar and was drunk when my alarm went off. Will be interesting to see what happens with this storm.
Can we get a TR of what happened that was so intense that it kept the great @GrilledSteezeSandwich away from Blue?

Bold call-out for someone who has only been out twice this year.
Valid. And the call out was done out of love ❤️❤️

So if one wanted to ski Sunday morning still watch the Eagles at 1 and not pull a Toast and leave by 8:43am, what's a good sports bar in the Lehigh valley/Palmerton area to hang at?

That's what he said and I don't have any reason not to believe him.

Last night was pretty solid. One of my few night sessions but RAW is where it's at. Temps were super comfortable, the lines looked bad but went really fast and the snow was pretty great. Only got Coming Soon once but i was the only one on it at the time and really got to noodle around and enjoy it. Sat at a fire pit at the end of the night for a few minutes and it was actually lovely. Nice to look up at the mountain all lit up and those string lights and fire pits change the ambiance of the bottom lodge a lot

So Coming Soon, Main Street and Nightmare will all have bumps on them this year? Any that I missed?

Just popped on Camelback's website for the first time in a while. I guess they have just given up at this point and realized they peaked in the early 2000s.

Yeah I tend to agree. It makes sense, though. It forces people to slow down coming into Paradise... but it takes away from how great that trail is. It reminds me a bit of White Lightning at Montage. That would be an absolute ripper if they groomed it and it wasn't all bumps. Oh well.
White lightning ends 100 feet from a lift. If that trail was a ripper the carnage would be next level at the bottom and at least one person per year would get fished out of that lake.

Likely tonight, Saturday and Sunday.
Watching that weather though, saying 8 inches Sunday night and 2 inches Monday morning. (insert joke here)
Maybe take Sunday morning off in favor of Sunday night or Monday morning?
-
I wonder why they were running the 6 in the morning and the quad at night. Do they normally switch lifts like that?

I imagine that means there was debris on the runway.
A Go Pro fell off of the bottom of a plane.

I have an uncle who was a ski instructor in the 80s and was a total ski bum/partier for a while. He moved to the beach for the next 30 years but recently took a job up in St Albans, VT and moved up there. We were talking at Christmas and he was excited to get up there and said he would probably get back into skiing. "I hear the skis are shaped now", but he was oddly adamant that he wouldn't be one of those "losers wearing a helmet". I told him that 99.5% of people out there wear helmets and it's kind of insane not to at this point but he was unfazed. Thankfully he works at a hospital so one would assume when he crashes at Smugglers Notch he will have top notch care.
