Located just a few miles down the road:

$13 dollars for night skiing, and 180 inches of lake effect blower.
Looking forward to it.
I have my fingers crossed for some colder temps and thanksgiving turns. :yourock:
lake effect blower?
hahahhahahahahhaaa!
hah! outer limits!
I seem to remember that trail being in vermont.. straight.. very steep.. with bumps.. (and it costs a lot more than $13 to ski it!)

he speaks the truth at least in land east coast lake effect snow is fucking light shit. we would get 6-12 snowfall in western pa all the time that was really light.Too bad it was icey as shit underneath that snow...Quote:

I love the mogul "field", Mogul Patch I would believe to be much more accurate.
And are we talking the same alpine valley as this? the maps differ, If I were gonna be dickwaving about my new home hill, I'd use this map. :wink:

That looks cute.
Here on the east coast we call that the mid west.Quote:

I think we're talking about two different Alpine Valleys, although they both appear to be the total sickness.
The one Egon's talking about is in Ohio (where there is a fair amount of lake effect...although I wouldn't describe it as 'blower pow'). The other one is in Michigan.
Ironically, neither Michigan or Ohio has any alpine ecosystems....not even remotely close.
Damn, The one I pointed out is south eastern michigan. There is an Alpine Valley in Wisconsin as well. Their claim to fame...Stevie Ray Vaughn was killed in a helicopter crash on their "mountain".
I had no idea there was one in Ohio as well. Here is to creativity in naming something that is neither alpine nor valley in any way whatsoever.
Yeah what he said!!Quote:

bumpskier.
what's your sig from? goddamnit I just can't place it. 'everyone in this roon is now dumber for having listened to it".
shit, what is that from.
Why do I have to drop this every time someone says, "Lake Effect" It hasn't been this deep since 2000 though. It will be this year because I've been good to the snow Gods!:rolleyes2

Running the lifts on Thanksgiving is a complete possibility, and to be fair, it is somewhat on the eastward facing side of a valley.
