GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted Monday at 05:12 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:12 PM Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain. I arrived at the lower lot around 820am and it was in the upper 20s and cloudy with a strong south wind. In the house were Johnny Law, Drew, C1er and Bethlehem ford guy. I easily made first civilian 6-pack and began on challenge which was super nice smooth cord, sidewinder similar and switchback was my favorite today, mainly because all but my last run on it was empty. Razors had some cookie chop but at least the Root rollers are smoothed out and midway and lazy were both good as well. I skied until 1040am then had a slow drive back to the A..a few stuck cars and many crawling with their four way flashers on. It snowed about the last hour I was there and now a solid 2”+ in south Whitehall and looks like we could score 4”+ based on the radar. Also was able to postpone my appointment this afternoon at work which I’m happy about and my car is ready. JADIP. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Early in the pandemic it fell because demand was so low. On the plus side with the cost of a barrel of crude oil now $60+ US production of oil is now in demand so fracking will pick up in North Dakota and that’s fracking awesome because there are a lot of really good jobs up there that were lost last year.

They rise cause of Biden’s continued attacks on the fuel industry...shutting down the pipeline, going after fracking, and fear of green new deal bullshit. All those things indirectly affected the prices which in turn caused them to rise. There is no more traffic on the roads now then 2 months ago, and PASRs all know this Edited Monday at 05:44 PM by theprogram4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mixilplix Posted Monday at 05:45 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:45 PM The U.S. Energy Information Administration has explained that more than half of the retail cost of gasoline is determined by the price of crude oil, and that price is driven, largely, by supply and demand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no more traffic on the roads now then 2 months ago, and PASRs all know this We, meaning the US don't set crude oil prices and WTI is actually generally a little lower than Brent. Right now their is a 3 to 4 dollar spike because everything crude comes through Texas and all their issues have pinched supply. Just FYI any pipeline would be 5 to 10 years away and oil sands is some of the most expensive worst quality oil. We don't generally buy it as our refineries are old, along with sour crude from South America. 3 minutes ago, Kyle said: The ones who are out and about have found every way possible to wreck their cars though I can tell you that.

theprogram4 Posted Monday at 06:02 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:02 PM (edited) there are still the same amount of cars on the road, but somehow fuel rises 50 cents per gallon immediately after Biden takes office (before Texas BTW). Sounds legit... Edited Monday at 06:03 PM by theprogram4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds legit... I do agree traders see Biden as being less pro oil than Trump and have factored that into pricing. I'm saying that is one of a number of reasons. The TX interruptions, the lack of investment in drilling over the last decade, most of the major players 2 weeks ago announced that they belive they have hit peak oil. ANWR, pipelines etc do not impact supply now and now events are what create steep price fluctuations. Additionally when the price is rising lots of players will hold off on moving it off the boat as everyday you wait you've now made more money. Oil outside of maybe orange juice futures is maybe the most complicated market on earth, sometimes it moves on nothing but emotion. All of this assumes the lowest possible gas price is a good thing which I would argue is not the case. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C1erArt Posted Monday at 06:29 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:29 PM Widowmaker had untracked powder until I left around 11, a lot of fun. Good to talk to you guys. My eyesight isn’t the best, and I’ve always had problems recognizing faces, so I’m not ignoring you. Especially if you switch skis. Just hit me over the head with your ski pole to get my attention. On another subject, looks like bridge tolls are coming on 80. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because people are too comfortable in their cars now. AWD, Lane keep assist, blind spot alert, reverse sensors, etc etc etc has literally made people stupid behind the wheel. I’ve seen way too many claims where people back into someone else and go “well I’m not at fault, I didn’t see them in my rear view camera, they hit me!” 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Likewise. New car is automatic trans, but no driving assist stuff other than blind spot alerts and backup camera parking notification stuff. I was hoping I could hold out with my manual impreza until cars were at the point where fully self-driving was available outside of a premium, but alas, time and mileage was starting to catch up and I didn't want to push it farther with a kid in the car.
