Schif

I have a friend who lived in Hawaii for about 2 years while her husband was stationed there. She hated it and couldn't wait to get back to the mainland.

Speaking of egg hunts; if I recall correctly, a few times a year Montage does a scavenger hunt where they put things all over the mountain and if you spot one while you're skiing and grab it you can take it back to the lodge and redeem it for a prize. I always thought that was a cool idea.

Maybe I'll do Saturday at Montage this week. Pretty solid deals and I'm glad they made snow.

GSS, you should call Jenny, here's her number; 867-5309

I got an awesome soft pillowtop mattress from Ashley Furniture for like $600 in October.

Looks like it's going to warm up this week, with some potentials for rain. I guess spring is trying to show up.

Good find Enjoralas!

I'm going to be in the mood to run up to VT for a weekend after Blue closes. Maybe some car camping. Who knows.

Shooting for both days this week

Is there anything off trail in play today?

That looks terrible. Not fun at all

Congrats on the new place Sally! That's awesome.

You can always make the drive down here to partake in the Snow

The fact that I'm writing this from a desk instead of my car on the way up is pretty annoying to me right now. Roads were slightly covered on the way in this morning, no traffic at all on my commute to work.

Minimal snow/sleet here so far. Office is open though it might close. Let's see what happens

Potential office closing tomorrow. If that happens I'll be up at some point.

On just a quick glance on weather underground and accuweather, they are saying that there will be more accumulation down in Philly than up at Blue. Not great for the mountain, but maybe it'll get the city folk interested in skiing again and get some of them out which will in turn make Barb keep the place open longer.

I'm a Wyoming Valley expert! What are your standards?

I used to go into the woods at Elk all the time when I was in high school. Some really awesome stuff off to the side of the resort boundary. I remember I came upon a house one time and rode up and over the deck. Also used to drop off the side of the one trail that returned you to the base from skiers right, go over a boulder and jump across the little creek to come out to the bunny slope.

I think it's pretty cool to teach the kids a little about responsible spending and to an extent financial literacy. I got a joint bank account with my Dad when I was 13 so I had somewhere to put my paychecks from working at the golf course. Eventually I even got myself a debit card. I was one snazzy 15 year old walking around with my own plastic.

I was about to guess the same thing. It's a lot easier now for people to travel past the Poconos for vacation out of NYC or Philly to a lesser extent. Why buy a vacation house in the woods when you can fly to the caribbean for $500

Thats so awesome Sally, looks like you're living the dream!

Sunday for me.

I hope there will be a TR coming about this later.

Some solid points here too. I'm getting a glimpse at this kind of stuff with my girlfriend's little 8 year old brother. The kid is legit scared of physical harm. When I was that age I was probably afraid of the dark and maybe monsters, but I sure as hell wasn't scared of climbing a tree or crashing my bike. I don't know, I'm not a parent but I look at the way that this kid lives his life and I can't tell if its super weird, or if I'm just being an old dude looking back on the good old days. Maybe it's just the difference between growing up with a Sega Genesis and having your own iPad and X-box. Maybe he will want to get out and shred one day, but I'm getting the feeling that his parents will put him in a series of lessons first and after he falls down a few times he's going to get bored of it and want to go home.
