Nice. Gotta take advantage of what Mother Nature gives you.

Re: Pocono Mountain Skiing
I like skiing here. I love the woods.
I didn’t ski today but I started work on Mt. Jäegermeister. It’s the only mountain in the Pocono where the snow is real and the mountain is man made. It gives you enough speed to make the rest of my yard more interesting.

Proper canvas prospector’s tent there. Cool.
We dreamed of riding waves of air, water, snow, and energy for centuries. When the conditions were right, the things we needed to achieve this came into being. Every idea man has ever had up to that point about time and space were changed. And it keeps on changing whenever we dream. Bio mechanical jazz, man.

Not up to the baskets - that's thin!
Pretty, though.

Re: Pocono Mountain Skiing
I could have skied my no wax karhu xcd-gts. They would have been a better match for the boots, but in 3 inches of snow I needed all the float I could get.
Meanwhile Anchorage has been getting epic snowfall, hopefully I'll be getting some of that later this season.

20+30 cm here overnight. Heavy/wet but the temperatures will drop slowly overnight and the next day or two.
Raises one’s hopes. I’ve told my valet to clear my social schedule for Monday.

Re: Pocono Mountain Skiing
Hats off to you Al, skiing 3” is an art form I haven’t mastered. However if you got 11 miles and 1200 vertical feet, you’re not fooling me with that I’m 63 and too old to fall! I’m a couple year younger, but I don’t think I would enjoy winter time road rash on whatever is hiding under 3” of dust!
