Glad ya’ll had a good day, I set the alarm but hit the snooze for some PA rain soaked corn tele turns to celebrate World telemark day

I've also observed the new faces, particularly on the weekends, today literally watched one pushing slow skiers into place from behind and knocking them off balance. But yeah the regular crew that is usually there on the weekdays keeps things moving very smoothy, play fun music and on top of all that are friendly.

Maybe they just need more training.
Good lifties are critical on busy days and not busy days.
They can make it more fun.
Always say thanks. And goodbye when yer done.
My friend brought them a big platter of shrimps at the end of last year. It was easy to keep em cold.

One additional note - while it was clearly crowded based on my parking lot observation and some trail volume, beside the sixth chair up the mountain, I never waited on a line for more than 4 minutes. On a sold out day, there are lifts or times to 'hide out'. I took the Gondi 2x, so it wasn't that I was just completely hiding on lifts 7 and 8 though that was important. Of course this go round I mostly used the singles line except for a run or two with Rip and another run with a HS friend I bumped into not the hill.

Also made a new ski friend - good skier named Adam that I bumped into on the singles line. Got the speed of the line (mostly having to ride separately) with a ski bud, as he was solely. We broke for the day right before I bumped into Rip and family.

GREAT DAY. A somewhat rarity for me, skiing 9:15-3:15. I intended to stop 2x before I did, but happy I did not.

Conditions - great; snow got a little funky sticky on groomers at the end of the day. Shocking amount of snow in the woods at times.

I promise to work on my typos . . . They can be funny sometimes.

good skier named Adam

Is he a turn earning Highmount guy? If so he's a "noted local."

One could say you are a gaper for skiing Bell.

Gapers are what let the mountains make enough money to keep the lifts spinning…and a generally never ending form of entertainment

Belle #29 - should have gone to Plattekill.

Good grief. Looks like Hunter. I hope they were filling every seat.

Does anyone know if you purchase a "Belleayre only" lift ticket, does that give you any type of discount at Gore? I only get up to Gore a few days a season, so it's not really worth the extra $280 for the SKI3 pass.
