jtslalom Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well it looks like they opened the connecting trail after all. Most slopes are opened with exception to Pipeline, Redtail and the slope that goes down to the triple chair. I went out Thursday and the snow was ok. For all the snow we've gotten lately with all the cold weather I'd have thought it would have been a little better but beggers can't be choosers. I did see two decent soft boot carvers from the chair lift. I wasn't able to catch up with them but it was nice to see. I will be riding a couple of times this week and will post the times. Shawn I'll call you. Hope to see other carvers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtslalom Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I took my son out for his first time today around 3:30 pm. The place was a zoo. I heard that it was deserted up until about noon. Then the crowds poured in. I would have been there earlier but I had to work today. Anyway my son loved it. He didn't want to go home. I also ended up taking my daughter down the sugar slope for 1 run. The snow was pretty good. I will be riding tomorrow night (Tuesday) sometime after 5 pm. Hope to see other carvers out there.

jtslalom Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I rode today with Shawn and conditions were pretty good. We managed to get a good two hours of riding in. We rode Great Northern (Don't know what it is called now) at Vernon Peak. It sure is nice making turns with some one who can carve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Creek was FUN last night. Bear peak was empty, freshly groomed with new snow and fast! Zero G was really nice too. I broke my Intec pins though, bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtslalom Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 We are giving midterm exams this week and I can get out of work at 2:30 pm. My school is only 5 minutes from the slopes so I arrived there at about 2:35. Sorry I didn't get to your post until now 5:45 pm. I rode from 2:35 to 4:30. I rode on Bear peak on the racing trail. It was excellent snow for carving. The top of the knoll on the racing trail is just a little to narrow to really put together big carves but if you can put together two slalom turns you have some room to really open it up towards the last 2/3rds of the slope. It was an awsome 2 hours of riding. I didn't really make an effort to contact any one to ride with because I really wasn't sure I would be riding today but I'm happy I found the time. I hope I'll see you and Eric J on Saturday morning. Please post if you can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik J Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Mtn Creek was nice this morning, great grooming job. It was WAAARM. ZeroG was hard and fast. They are putting a lot of snow down on Eagle, should be nice tomorrow. I did a little jimmyriggin' on mt step in heels and they kind of worked. Enough to crank out a few turns. New heels will be here today - it'll be nice to not wonder if I'm going to release and break my leg. See you guys tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtslalom Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I had a great time riding on Saturday morning with cafercr35 and family and Eric J. I was kind of surprised to see some of the trails in such condition and others down right horrible. Once again it's sure nice to ride with guys who can really carve their boards. i won't be out again until Tuesday or Wednesday night. In either case I will probably take my daughter out for a while first then ride after. I posted a neat test to see. Look at the "Off Topic" board for the "Awareness test" and follow the link. You'll get a kick out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetkin Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Do any of you ever go to Camelback? Is MC a lot better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafercr35 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Do any of you ever go to Camelback? Is MC a lot better? I go to camelback maybe 3 times a year...just gets really crowded on weekends. MC has a cheaper season's pass and also the season pass holders ride from 8-9am on Saturdays and Sundays before anyone buying tickets. Your guaranteed your first 3-4 runs are free of crowds and out of controllers. Blue Mountain is on of my favs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtslalom Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Since I live in the same town as Mountain Creek I seldom go to any Pa. ski resorts. However, I do go up to Vermont and NY state a few times a year I went riding today at MC (Tuesday 1/27) on Bear peak on the racing trail. Conditions were really good for carving. I rode from 3:15 to 4:45 and got a good 12 or so runs in. I kept going down the skiers left part of the racing trail and made so many carve lines that it started to create a nice big trench line. It was pretty cool. I must admit that conditions have been pretty good lately. Even with the thaw and freeze. We are suppose to get up to 10 inches of snow tonight. If I don't have work tomorrow I will probably take my daughter out as soon as it stops snowing. The next day I'll be out after that will be Friday late afternoon from 3:00 to about 6:00. Hope to see other carvers there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafercr35 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 went to creek this morning, got there around 10am, the gondola was closed, they said beause fo lack of people...what do I pay a season's pass for...to ride the triple...that thing is an antique...LOL...first couple of runs was nice 5-6" of powder...then the rain came. Snow became heavy, then bumpy, so we took our frozen wet selves to millside for some luch...finished up about 11:30. I wouldn't say it was great...but it sure was good, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
