Mid-Atlantic Fire at indoor Big Snow NJ

[Uncle-A]

I am looking at going sometime this summer, need to continue my ski months streak somehow!

Send me a PM if you make a plan to go. I could use one of my two hour tickets.

Sure thing! I’m thinking either July or August.

No it is science XX or XY anything else is personal choice. People can make that choice it is up to them, just not my choice.

The counterargument is that it is absolutely not personal choice. The chromosome is XX or XY but some hormone, etc in their brain is mismatched leading them to identify differently. I don't think all that many people would choose to be the opposite of what their chromosomes indicate, and take hormones, etc. for purely lifestyle/personal choice reasons. The science is not nearly that simplistic. And no, I'm not some woke social justice warrior.

Regardless, whether the SkiDivas would be accepting is a whole other ball of wax.

How can I judge if I don’t know what wax you are using?

Or what you are waxing.

I would be up for a gathering if it coincides with when I am here in PA. Would probably have to be early July...by then our house will be on the market but I'll still probably be hanging out until mid-July. After that, unless the housing market completely tanks, I'll be in NC, that's a bit too far for 2 hours of skiing LOL.
If I decide to do a solo run, I'll post up here in case anyone wants to meet up

This gets weirder all the time.

Geez, first we “couldn’t” go to Taos because the Divas were going to use up all the instructors. Now we can’t go ski indoors at a mall in Jersey for two hours because the Divas are using up the slope.

Let’s just shut down the site and let the Divas run it.

...wondering if they rent the place for parties, enough of us and maybe we could do it, along with getting them to strategically snow blow groom the place as a mogul run

This is one step beyond XC snowboarding. It's the new fangled sport of uphill snowboarding.

I know the camera will usually flatten out the slope, but that advanced steeper than it looks trail appears to go uphill.

I think it's an uphill view. Unfortunately I don't have a downhill view. You should go check it out. You live nearby. Jersey is calling and you must go.

I may live right across the river, but NJ is a foreign country to a New Yorker.
To paraphrase Dwight Yoakam. Ain't that desperate yet.

Isn't that the bottom terminal of the lift? I don't see a rail there.

Too far for me for 2 hours. But then I didn't go into GTA for the rolling slope years ago either. And CSIA got us a discount.

I think this is more about a lawsuit they are involved in, with a never ever that took a first time snowboarding lesson. After the lesson they went to the top and started going down the slop, took a fall and got hurt.

So you would not come to a summer gathering there?

I may contemplate the possibility as the summer wears on.
Right now, I am two weeks out from a 120+ day season with a great ending at Mammoth. As I have said, not that desperate yet.

The most worrisome thing about Big Snow is they rent ski bikes. That’s just a bad idea, especially there.

Don't you worry. They are fully accredited by the New Jersey Safety Administration.
