In prepping for "where to ski on Sunday", what's with this "6 hour lift ticket" BS at Blue Mountain?

Is there anyway around that or a way to buy an 8am - 4pm (i.e. like every other known ski resort on planet earth) lift ticket. If not I may go to Camelback or Shawnee if the difference is only going to be the 2" predicted.

I saw that too. Nonsense.

It maybe my wishful thinking. But it seems the storm is coming up earlier than predicted. (I'm in my office in NYC. Prediction is for snow to start after mid-night. But from the map, it looks like it may start in the next couple of hours!)

Perhaps that's confirming a more northerly trend than the prediction?

I sure hope it comes early. I'm working in Westchester and trying to convince the restaurant I work at that Noone will come tomorrow so that I can head north ton it instead of tomorrow afternoon when she calls to tell me they will be closed:banghead:

At least if it starts before we close today I have a chance that she will see the light

00z NAM just went snowgasmic.

NAM often way overdoes snowfall, but the good news is the track is more north = more snow for all, regardless of eventual totals.

The NAM may be an idiot, but it may have scored a coup with the north trend. Slash those totals by 1/3 and the NAM is sitting pretty.

Even if you slash it in half it looks like 11" at Shawnee/Camleback & maybe 18" at Blue Mountain.

Rare Pocono powder-day looks to be close to a reality.

This is your storm man! Congrats! You've been pining for a Pocono's jackpot and it will be stunning if Lucy pulls the football somehow.
