Does any one like those damned fireman’s uniforms?

Not too sure about the 9:00 am rope drop but I plan to be there. We should try to get together
We still have room on the Snowshoe Band Wagon. 9 AM rope drop on 11/22. See y'all at the top of Ballhooter !!
I should be doing a few laps with my neighbors kids near Ballhooter lift in the AM. Look for a bad skier in a BRIGHT YELLOW jacket. My kids called it my Big Bird suit.
Bristol is opening the WROD today!

Roundtop Saturday! And not just the walk-to park they have been doing the past few years. Actual lift-served this year
That's interesting... Whitetail and Liberty haven't even blown out the guns yet I don't think. I guess it makes sense to focus on the most north facing place among the three for early opening.
That and Roundtop is the furthest north and it gets them attention in the Harrisburg market, which the other two really don't.

Feeling tempted by Roundtop tomorrow... but I don't think it'll be worth the 4 hour round trip.
I also noticed Massanutten has blown some and is planning to open November 22nd. Looks like they'll get a few more snowmaking nights between now and then.

There's a very fine line between "I'll take some snow... any snow" and "that snow isn't good enough".
Meanwhile here in the Mid-A, I'll take some snow... any snow.
Roundtop was worth a few hours today. People were pretty pumped by the early opening. Lift ticket purchase/ pass validation was a bit of a cluster. Snow surface seemed to improve as the morning progressed.

I'm regretting not going... I could have swung it for a few hours. Maybe Massanutten next weekend if they have Showtime or Pacesetter open, and not just the beginner terrain.

If it will make you feel better, there were no fewer than 12 dead deer on the road - bits and blood and all - on 270 and 15 (and a fox and a muskrat).
(There were also 4 major accident related backups on the way back, but that's the new normal for Saturday nights.)
I thought I saw a guy who skied like @SKI-3PO but the skier was wearing brick red / orangeish trousers and that didn't seem in character.
One thing we did learn though: my gold and lime combo is excellent camouflage against trees with unfallen leaves. Imagine standing in plain sight, in front of a trail crossing sign and having a patroller just about run you down

And there were a fail number of fallen leaves on the trails in a couple of spots. You must have blended in.
We hiked and did trail work Saturday. Still a fair amount of snow laying about in the woods.

Did the patroller realize he almost hit you? Say anything?
'didnt see you there. Everything OK'?
The patrollers at RoundTop are great folks in my experience.
I am only half serious: GFS is showing rain all the way up into Quebec, followed by a freeze on Saturday.
