GeorgeCostanza Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Did Sidewinder ever open last season?
GeorgeCostanza Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Posted November 4, 2014 so just sidewinder run....not park?
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 One of the best dedicated park trails in PA... Or so I've heard...
Johnny Law Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 No it never opened, a young snowboarder got totally fucking insane on the first hit and Barb said shut the whole thing down nobody will ever be as cool as that kid..... 5
burton71 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 One of the best dedicated park trails in PA... Or so I've heard... You've heard wrong.
GeorgeCostanza Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Posted November 5, 2014 One of the best dedicated park trails in PA... Or so I've heard... Must be why the have the longest lift lines in America and are always overcrowded
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Must be why the have the longest lift lines in America and are always overcrowded Blue is only crowded a few weekends a year.
phillycore Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Blue is only crowded a few weekends a year. We definitely have different ideas of what a crowded lift line is. 1
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Phillycore u were only at blue late season the past few years so u don't know and season passholders get to use VIP Last year had long lines opening day..a few weekends in January and a few weekends in February.

True.....I have not been regular season to blue since vip line
trackbiker Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 VIP line doesn't make the trails any less crowded. Trails get skied off very quickly. That's why all the Blue PASR passholders leave by 10:00am. I remember when they used to do the 4:00 groom.
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Yeah trails at blue are crowded but this was About liftlines.

That's why all the Blue PASR passholders leave by 10:00am. I remember when they used to do the 4:00 groom. Only toast leave by 10. Justo and I usually stick around to at least 11. It all depends on how much sobering up needs to be done before I drive home. 1
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 From 8-10am at blue we get as much vertical as 5 hours at Jackson frost. 2
indiggio Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 If you stay around long enough, the skied off/bumped up trails are empty and afford the most fun! 1
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 If you stay around long enough, the skied off/bumped up trails are empty and afford the most fun! The most fun for me at blue is skiing fast on smooth empty terrain. It's why my weekday sessions when I take off work are often my longest ones. This winter will be great. I'm hardly gonna work at all!! Blue sucks. Sorry I had to Wow just wow no I didn't. Are u a cop now?
indiggio Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 The most fun for me at blue is skiing fast on smooth empty terrain. Indeed and the primary reason to get there right at opening to get in the high speed runs before the crowds show up. Then it's off to the runs where others don't like to tread... 1
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 U like the push piles. I don't. Different slopes for different folks. More than 2-3 hours at blue unless its a pow day or like a special PASR day and I'm pretty bored. Shit at Jackson hole I'm good by like 1-2pm 1
toast21602 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 When you live 5 miles away, skiing for a few hours and dipping out early is easy. Shit at Jackson hole I'm good by like 1-2pm That's kinda sad. 1
phillycore Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Shit at Jackson hole I'm good by like 1-2pm Screw that.....open to close... If legs are shot take a break than hit groomers.... It's still better than Pa 6
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 When you live 5 miles away, skiing for a few hours and dipping out early is easy. That's kinda sad. So sad skiing 30-40,000 vert before a late lunch 7 days straight. I'm gonna cry in my bone in Ribeye. Screw that.....open to close... If legs are shot take a break than hit groomers.... It's still better than Pa Sure going 70mph on choppy late day groomers when the sun is going down on tired legs is a great idea. It's like poker. Gotta cash in your chips before you go bust.

Maybe you could slow down if you learned how to turn.... 3
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 I gotta turn in the trees or I'll eat bark. That's where I excel at big mountains. I honestly think I get in more skiing in a week out west than most. And honestly what does it fucking matter how much long I ski when I'm out west or at Blue. Most aren't on first chair or last chair either. They just ski and have fun. When my buddy Tom joins its typically a longer day cause he's pokey and falls and needs breaks so end up skiing less in more time and I still have a blast.
