Hey All,

I’m back from a fun Sunday morning session at Blue mountain the true mountain. When I woke up ther was a little ice sheen on my car but the radar didn’t look that bad.  Easy drive to blue the true and arrived at like 715..just like yesterday with a temperature of 28 degrees consistent with the last several ski days.  In the house were Johnny Law, BenB, Atomic Jeff, MBike Mike, Mrs SnowBunski, Enjorales, Enjorales dad, Ryan, Mute, Matt Edge, TheDude4Bides and many others. 

 

Opening bell was a dream..no precipitation and great snow was a western groomer and amazing conditions from 8am until 8:09 am.  Shit got loose and rowdy/spicy fast but still some solid runs early.  The guns continued to blast on upper Main Street, lazy mile, tuts lane and in the valley.  No liftlines to speak of...not many people there although they were selling more tickets than expected considering the weather. 

 

Short parking lot session with some PASRs as freezing rain began to fall with more intensity. Perfect temperatures to keep beer cold but not frozen..was a bonus day for sure as it’s before Memorial Day..JADIP

Pretty significant icing here already. Roads are getting slick. Glad I ran before this crap started to fall.

First run was worth getting out of bed for.  The rest...meh.

Anything untreated here was icy by the time I got back. Roads were all treated tho. Pretty sure I'm going to ditch work tomorrow and will be at the true mountain instead.

Would have liked to have made there but I have no faith in the tires on the MINI in these conditions....Starting to get a good ice coating here in Macungie....Should be an interesting commute tomorrow morning...

Tomorrow could be a rider of the storm day...

On my drive home nowhere was above 30 degrees.  Ice ice baby.

I was up as usual and saw the freezing rain area Inbound and it was already sprinkling out here in the sticks, so decided to stay put as I knew it was just gonna be another Groundhog Day.

Watched everyone line up on the webcams instead.  I felt like GSS watching us out in JH.

First run was excellent but then it went to crap super fast, like insanely fast.

Super nice to get a day in though when it looked like a wash out.

Tomorrow is a mystery, 0 to 60 inches lol
