[Branden]

Hey all you guys from PA / SBU I'm willing to take a road trip down to you guys to ski in 2 weeks... only 6 hours to get there. who can go. where do you want to ski. and is it possible to find a pad to crash at for 1 night? lets get a good meet going PA guys.

[mctwist311]

that sounds like a meet i can make.... i had plans on jay this weekend but mark told me it was cancelled and now its back on and i no longer have enough funds to make it up there. owell just let me know what mtn. and branden if you cannot find a place to crash ill split the telle cost with you otherwise ill prolly only be there one of the days... :) definately lookin foward to a big ass group of skiboarders shreddin the mtn...

[tyberesk]

i think my weekend will be free...not sure yet with baseball though. Hopefully it doesnt get too slushy

Hmmm well mountains are camelback, blue mountain, shawnee, jack frost/big boulder in the poconos. From what ive read on paskiandride...big boulder has the best parks by far, even though its one of the smallest mountains. Tickets are 25 dollars i think as well.

[mctwist311]

you guys arent expecting snow tonight through sat...? we are supposed to get up to 12 inches.

[Kirk S]

hey ty im gonna try and make it so we may get to ride together this season
looking forward to it

I'm off to wisp Maryland now for 2 days of skiboarding, drinking, and hitting the hot tubs

PEACE!!!!!

[tyberesk]

five inches maybe...have fun kirk

[CrazyBoy-1]

I'd definitely be up for Saturday at least in the morning. I have a commitment in the evening, but I'd stay as long as possible. Sunday is a little harder since I need to sleep for work Sunday night. It would depend on how far away we meet up. As to that, the only places I've been to recently enough that I can remember are Bear Creek and Blue Mountain. I'm willing to go just about anywhere though. I'm more for carving up groomers than hitting parks, but that might change if I was with a group of guys who could coach me into it.

As an aside, I'll be up at Blue Mountain this Saturday afternoon/evening. I'll have my best friend's little brother with me, so I won't be able to ride hard with anyone, but if you happen to see me come over and say high. My gear's listed in my sig and I'm kinda hard to miss with my height. We're supposed to get over four inches here Friday, so I'm hoping the conditions will be decent.

[tyberesk]

well now where supposed to get 8.5 inches of wet snow where i live, and about 10-12 inches in the poconos. This week its gunna be cold, so it should buy a few more weeks.

[Branden]

sunday or saterday guys? what time u want to meet where?

[tyberesk]

i have a baseball game the 24th at 1 oclock.....pending weather

[CrazyBoy-1]

I'm not too picky about where, but I'll go ahead and vote for Blue Mountain.

[mctwist311]

Im down for either or both days and i dont really know either mtn so which ever one is better....:D

[tyberesk]

bb is def better than blue from what i hear.

[airdonut41]

Blue and JFBB are about the same distance away for me, so they probably are pretty similar for you CrazyBoy. JFBB has a lot more in terms of parks, but I don't know what conditions will be like by next week. It's snowing here now, but this past Wednesday it got up to 75 degrees. I also have a baseball game on the 24th at 1. Tyberesk, do you play for Wilson?

Dan

[tyberesk]

negative...north schuylkill, but who knows if we will even play with the snow on the ground :)

[CrazyBoy-1]

I was looking at the JFBB site, and all lift tickets are $25. That sounds good to me, but does one ticket apply to both areas? It seems like BB is strickly a park area. I'd like to try some park stuff, but personally I'm a fan of the groomers.

[airdonut41]

Yeah, the lift tickets are good for both mountains from what I hear. I think they're about a ten minute drive apart though.

Dan

[tyberesk]

yea they are like 10 min apart, i usually end up pickin up some food in between

[tyberesk]

hmmm it looks like Big Boulder is closed on the weekend of the 24th/25th for some snowmobile racing or something like that...im not for sure about it yet so ill post if anything changes

[Branden]

alright maybe a diff weekend then

[CrazyBoy-1]

We should've done it this weekend. I was at Blue Mountain last night, and the conditions were excellent. Lots of fresh powder on all but the most exposed slopes.

The problem with pushing it back is that we're playing the lottery with the weather. There is a chance of rain most places around here from what I gather on weather.com, so I'm not sure how the conditions will be this weekend.

[Kirk S]

Just got back from Wisp Mt. at McHenry, Md and from the minute I got their it started snowing and didn't stop till today I was skiboarding in 8 inches of powder in places and at least 2 inches all over the mt. being the second person on the lift as soon as it opened didn't hurt either:D


and ya the 35ft kickers were AMAZING!!!!!
3 of them in a row. Their rail park wasn't to bad either but everything was closed other than like the butter box and a couple jumps


I would recommend that place to anyone
as long as their is snow

[CrazyBoy-1]

This recent snow was great. I was up at Blue Mt. on Saturday and the powder was excellent. I was really impressed with how well the EMPs were able to float through all the different conditions.

[mctwist311]

so whats the deal boys is the mtn gonna be open are you gonna be there i need to know by like thurs. the latest alright peace... Ethen said hes gonna do his best to get down here.. branden you still down drag mark with ya? otherwise creek will be open for there last weekend you boys can come here let me know.....

[CrazyBoy-1]

I'm still up for it on Saturday. Just let me know where. I'm planning on trying to get out on Saturday anyway, so I might as well meet up with some other s'boarders.

[tyberesk]

Well from Reports ive been reading on Paskiandride.com....Blue Mountain....is garbage(parkwise). Jack Frost is in good shape and Big Boulder will be opened, but only limited. Less than half of the runs will be open and only the most advanced park will be open along with the hike up rail park. The intermediate and beginner(rail) park will be closed for the snowmobile races.

[Mark]

time to head north boys...

[tyberesk]

haha visit ben in canada?

[Mark]

uh, no.

[Davelynam]

BEAR CREEK, this weekend is the pond skim comp, on sunday. lets all do it

[CrazyBoy-1]

Sorry, I can't make it. As much fun as that sounds, I have other plans now.

I will definitely be up for some PA meets next season though.
