PennLive.com: Here's what new at Roundtop, Camelback, Liberty and more ski resorts in Pennsylvania.
https://www.pennlive.com/expo/life-and-culture/erry-2018/10/065606b1971974/heres-what-new-at-roundtop-cam.htmlI'd be interested to see this new Scarab trail and how much it's just a rebirth of the old cross mountain trail.

Still winter and we're closing Sunday with 150+" base.

April 2. Full on winter for the last three days. Single digits and howling wind and nice dry powder.

Hang in there. We're glad to have you back on PASR!!! Do you post on ski divas now that Epicski is defunct?
Not often. Probably post more here.
I'm on Pugski. I looked at some others, but really nothing has clicked.

Sibhusky do you still keep track of vertical?
Yes. Having a bad, bad year personally. The skiing is great. But I'm having a ton of migraines and my brother died, so have not racked up much.

I looked up the royal 7...it's $47 a night and the reviews say there were skeet stains on the sheets, bed bugs and all sorts of critters. Makes where I live and the 49er in Jackson hole look like the Ritz Carlton in comparison.
No surprise. I'd never stay there again. It was back when Siblet was racing and the team stayed there.

Yo get back on track, woke up at usual o-dark-30 and got shit ready. Googled around for breakfast places and found the Western Cafe opened at 6, so made our way there for some pre-ski grub, which was delicious!
Made our way up Bridger Road to some spectacular scenery which wasn't evident arriving last night. Skies were clear in Bozeman, but the Bridger cloud was causing a little snow as we arrived, which didn't amount to much. Temps were 0 or a bit less and wind was blowing at 8am.
I booted up in lot to the sounds of a helicopter coming in to land, with an ambulance waiting. Not sure what that was all about??
Got second chair on Sunnyside behind some season passholders because we had to wait for ticket booths to open. Ride up with an older couple who had moved to Bozeman from of all places, Bethlehem! Got some lowdown on food & beer places in Bozeman and split from them.
With the direction of the wind and some suggestions from some locals, we headed over to Pierre's Knob right off and lapped that area for the morning. We passed the area to Schlasman's, which was closed. Snow was chalky smooth on groomers and wind-blown crud beyond them. Trees were meh, as they've been skied out and not much fresh to find. Regardless, the area is fun, steep at the start with long run outs to the lifts. Groomers are wide and empty so one can really crank them up.
For lunch, we hit the Jim Bridger lodge bar for some IPAs and white chili. Wow am I farty now!
After lunch it was back up Sunnyside and over to the Bridger lift. They had a competition level mogul run next to Bronco, so we had to check that out multiple times. Between those, we lapped the North Bowl which was mostly moguls.
I like Bridger as it reminds me of Alta and Mad River, but with a slightly different vibe. People are so friendly out here! The problem is that if your a visitor without any avy experience, you're relegated to the lower mountain. I kept eyeing up all the fun stuff at the summit and that served by Schlasman's.
Ended the day back at the bar where we talked to some guys wearing avy transceivers. The guys didn't say much other than, "It was a good day."
The digs...
Ballin' in our free upgrade from a Subaru...
Road to Bridger...
Heli inbound...
Lunch!
Legit soft snow mogul run.
Bronco head.
Omg, have stayed at the Royal 7. Did they ever have a maid do your room? Probably ten years ago, it seemed to be an issue.

Lake Louise is more gorgeous. Less snow I think... Yeah, only 77", Sunshine at 72. I think they are open later than us. Maybe a month later. We've got a griz issue.
Then again, they've got a passport issue and, I hear, DUI screening. But the loonie is still pretty low, so $ might be okay.

Don't know why that fog picture is so smushed. Fixed it

What does that place look like when its not caked in snow? What do bad days look like
"Bad days" are caked in snow. But you can't see where the hell you are.
10 minutes ago, Barb said:Looks so much better than Colorado right now. I have family in Columbia Falls and they have said they are getting tired of shoveling snow.
This is almost a month back. More now. Husband on the injured list from shovelling.

It's been super frigid this year, so we've had plenty of days with them.

Welcome back!!! I heard Whitefish mountain resort is having a great season!!
We already have our season (300") in. Base depth of 140, which is a new record I think. They had to extend the snow stake, anyway. Unfortunately, the body count is two so far, the second guy has not been found after a week of searching.
I've been having a rough year, however, and not been out anywhere near as much as usual.

Basically, Wikia bought Huddler. Huddler is no longer doing forums. The transition would have cost Vail money. Vail never really wanted the forums, they wanted the name Epic being under their Epic umbrella. They let the forums exist until it meant money. A huge number of content posters had already moved to pugski and although tuning and instruction content was probably still better on Epic, the equipment content was better on Pugski. So, many were on both. Which meant Epic was losing increasing ground. What I was seeing was more activity on Pugski, even though lurking levels were very high on Epic. But it had to mean decreasing ad revenue. Faced with the hassle and cost of a move to a new platform, they bagged it. It would have been nice to have had more notice FROM SOMEONE. All that content will be gone. 18 years worth.

Town is at 3000 feet, summit 6800+. Lower altitude means less shock for flatlanders. I always had to overnight in Denver before skiing Colorado or I would have horrid migraines for a day or two and still be exhausted for skiing for the first half of the trip. I still have 20% more migraines if I visit my brother in Denver, but that might be a lifestyle clash as much as anything, since I'm not used to interstates and traffic anymore.
I haven't heard anyone complain about altitude here, although I've had two visitors from Minnesota (not related or friends) who get woozy if the view is too expansive or something. They can't tolerate things like the Inspiration ridge line or looking down No Name. (Of course, I used to have a friend who was terrified of ESCALATORS.) Different type of issue.
What else did this couple say? Just curious.

In the security line at Newark. It's massive and barely moving. I bet some people will miss their flights. I have an hour and fifteen minutes till boarding so I ain't tripping.
I swear EWR was a big reason we moved. Not that LaGuardia or JFK are any improvement. We'd come home and hit EWR and it was always a nightmare somewhere. If not the airport, then just finding your way HOME from the airport, with the left hand exits and construction was a terror. Any time I miss good deli, I remember Newark.

I realized when I got home I SHOULD have taken one more run, as I'd finished ONE RUN SHORT of last year's vert. I didn't think I was that close that it was worth agonizing over, so hadn't done the math before I left.
