I can understand why there may not be a lot of PA plates in the parking lot. It was a brutal 5.5-hour drive back home yesterday evening due to multiple rush hour accidents along the way. That said, a longer-than-expected-drive home was a small price to pay to get my first turns of the season in...

I also was at Belleayre today. I agree that there was a light crowd. Here is a picture from when I stopped at Overlook for lunch a little after 11am Today was only my second time there. First time was about 7 years ago on a crowded Saturday when the conditions were not that great. Low crowd...

Unfortunately, I don’t have a specific ski to recommend but I agree that going shorter than 177 cm will definitely make a huge difference. When I hear terms like mellower ski that’s fun and easy, I think not as stiff (maybe no metal at all – which would also make them lighter). I do also think <...

I appreciate all the discussion about suggested skis for different conditions. I wish I had come across something like this last year when I was searching for a good ski for east coast trees. I thought I would pass along my ski search thought process since it may be relevant to the parts of this...

I’m going to miss Magic not having tickets with the wire wicket. Ripitz’s lift ticket photo reminded me of my first visit to Magic. I ordered my ticket online the day before and my ticket was waiting for me the next morning at the ticket window - literally. When I walked up to the counter, I saw...

It's Plattekill for me as well tomorrow. PA hills are all closed and I'm up in NY visiting family so it's an easy decision. Looking forward to getting in a few more turns this season!

Regarding Eastern PA mogul options – I agree with previous posts about Blue and Elk. The run Harvey mentioned at Blue Mountain sounds like Barney’s Bumps. It’s listed as a separate run on the trail map but it’s just moguls on the skier’s left side of Main Street. Agree that this is a good place...

Thanks also MarzNC for the welcome. So glad to hear you made it out to Montana and Bridger Bowl. I do miss that place. I hope you had fantastic conditions! It’s interesting that you mentioned Montage. I try to make it once or twice to Elk each year. Seeing Montage in the distance as I drive...

Thanks for the welcome Trackbiker and sorry for the delayed response (technology and I sometimes don't get along). I had been to Bear Creek once like five years ago but it was not on my radar for my wife's current hip replacement recovery. Spring Mountain was all she could handle this year but...

I had to work late into the night multiple times this week so I did not feel guilty leaving work a little early (10:30 am) yesterday (Friday) to get a few hours of skiing in. I love skiing Blue toward the end of the season. Parking is easy, place is empty and the snow is soft. To my knowledge...

Hello everyone. My name is John and I currently reside in the Philadelphia area. I’m originally from NY and did not have the opportunity to ski much growing up. It was only when I moved to Bozeman, Montana, in the 90s that my skiing picked up (and the opportunity to regularly ski the Ridge at...
