tnt Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm hoping the roads are still bad Sunday morning...will take people longer to get up there plus that means we received more snow. I just want a foot. Not being greedy. Camelback forecasting for 9". Could be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 . Ridge bring rock skis to frost Sunday so u can ski woods I'll come to blue if you buy me a ticket. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiggio Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 You live in Princeton so I'd just allow maybe 3 hours to get home. 22 to 145 might be a better bet than taking 248 Worst part might be Jugtown Mountain, depending. Going way out to 145 seems long an awfully long way around. 248 is usually kept pretty clean, just the hills you have to watch for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 No should hav bought a season pass I don't want a season pass. If I get one it'll be a midweek pass next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Sunday would be good at Frost if there was a decent base in the trees. its probably better than last weekend, but it was sketchy then. I dont see East being open either. We all know all the Pa Hills will groom out gods gift to skiers to perfection by Sunday AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar73 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 We all know all the Pa Hills will groom out gods gift to skiers to perfection by Sunday AM. that's why we gotta get out tomorrow DURING the snowstorm, lol..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much to cheer about for an early season. Only a few inches needed to float. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Not trying to be debbie downer. Trust me i am more than excited to have snow in december. It just happens on a weekend i cant make it work, so i will do the best to enjoy it via webcam. My point was basically reaffirming what GSS said. If u want to ski powder in the poconos, u need to ski while its snowing. The snow will be great this weekend, and i think we will be on the higher end of snow totals predicted.

tnt Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 We bailed after I checked the weather at 5:30 this morning. Looked like it would be a tough ride home. Kind of regretting it now. Oh well. We'll be there or CB tomorrow 9-1:30 or so, so I'll get my fix in for the week. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 What I love about PA is people don't go skiing cause its snowing!!! But they'll risk their lyfe driving to work in a snowstorm. youd think going to work has some kind of monetary benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Actually looks like the heaviest snow could be this evening. What I love about PA is people don't go skiing cause its snowing!!! But they'll risk their lyfe driving to work in a snowstorm. Yeah, it's crazy. If my wife and I weren't driving with our daughter and her friend, we would have went for it, but didn't seem right to drive kids into a winter storm warning. Oh well. My friend was just telling me about years ago, when mountain creek was vernon valley, they closed the mountain because there was too much snow! Too funny.

moe ghoul Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Very very light snow falling in the past 20 minutes in NW Philly, I think its just above freezing tempwise, so I expect to see some sneet and maybe rain as the day progresses.

moe ghoul Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Nothing now in Philly except overcast. Obviously, a slow day here for me staring out my office window commenting on 3 flakes I just saw drifting by. Was thinking about going up to Doylestown today to watch a Roller Derby tourney, but a toilet tank issue popped up at mom's house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast21602 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 4"? I have a bet with a friend. Allentown needs 5" or more and I get a free diner breakfast 4" or less and he wins. not yet. 2.5-3" right now. i would expect at least 5". its going to be hard to measure with this wind, though.

tnt Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 well, sad to have missed the snow on saturday, and we weren't able to bring our daughter's friend with us today, but we had a great day. Snow was excellent. Bumps were great in the am, less great in the PM (is it me, or are those seeded bumps always just a little too far apart? regardless, the valleys were icy in the PM) Paradise was fun, with good snow in the gully on the sides of the trail. Lazy mile was fun. Burma road, falls...everything is better with real snow. Really, good fun. We skied from about 9 to 1:30. Longest line was about 4 minutes....
