PENNSYLVANIA DAILY SKI REPORT
Dear Comrads,
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends - come inside, come inside. Sorry, couldn't resist... I know, it's been a while - but what is out there to report on? I was going to go for a day's trek up to Blue new year's eve day, but it was kinda warm and rainy. I know, I know - the conditions were a little better a bit north - but who knew? With all of my sarcasm the past few years, I think I'm going to turn the corner today a bit. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the operators of our hills. You won't find me on a slope on a weekend here in the Keystone state - and with yesterday's rain I find it hard for anyone to want to experience our almost thousand foot drops (oops - there I go again!). The wife and I yesterday went into a local ski shop and that was pretty barren too. And it's not going to get any colder anytime sooner here too. Fifty degrees I hear for tomorrow. Where are my inline skates? Oh well, we're off to Vail in a week - see you there! |

I did hear we're finally supposed to get a hard freeze this weekend. Maybe they'll be able to blow a foot or so of manmade on top of the slop they're passing off as snow by Sunday when I'm finally gonna get my first turns. -- To reply by email remove "_nospam" |

Not everything was open, but there was certainly enough to ski on. And even though it was XMas week, there were no lift lines whatsoever. All in all, a pretty good excursion by PA standards - and much preferable to spending all day standing in line at Vail. I did hear we're finally supposed to get a hard freeze this weekend.

If you wait for perfect conditions and you live in PA, you'll never ski. -- //-Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |
