I go where there's snow bromeo. Not looking good for this year.

I'll do what I can

I think so.

yes! check out their instagram for daily updates

Yes I was just on it 2 hours ago

Extrovert is serious business by any standard, and ice in the east takes bump skiing to a level never seen at any UT resort. Yes, there are steeper trails, (It's not in the league of Al's run at Taos for example) but Extrovert is nothing to skoff at.

sohlbergk Thanks for the tips dude, I am hoping to come to blue knob some time soon if it snows more. Happily I have no problem with ice after skiing Aspen Colorado, lol.

A week had past, maintaining below freezing temps since a considerate natural snow, all the while making snow. This run, being ungroomed, is full of bumps that accumulate by skiing off projected snow. Combine with the natural slope and you have ledges that you will get air off with speed, and there's a solid 10 foot cliff to the right. I was lucky to get a lot of powder on top of the skied off bits. In park city there's generally a good pillow of powder to fall on no matter the actual slope.

I think the only ski run in Pennsylvania that’s steeper than this is White Lightning at Montage

@@joelp5093 I've wondered about that some over the years. Has anyone used an inclinometer to see which is steeper? One thing is certain, the length of the steep section is much greater on Extrovert so even if White lightning has a steeper maximum pitch, Extrovert feels like a substantially more challenging run. So I typed the above, but then I got curious so I checked the contour maps. The steep part of White lightning drops 200 feet over a run of 350 feet for 57.1% = 29.7 degrees. The steep part of Extrovert drops 400 feet over a run of 675 feet for 59.3% = 30.6 degrees. Within the accuracy that I can extract from the topo map, that's essentially the same pitch, but the steep part of Extrovert is twice as long. For comparison, there is a stretch of Al's run at Taos, NM that drops 1400 feet over a run of 2703 feet for 52%= 27.5 degrees, and there is a 600 foot stretch at 0.58 = 30 degrees. (I was surprised that it isn't steeper. I recall it being quite intimidating, but I was much younger and less experienced when I skied Al's than when I skied the PA resorts, Al's is 4x longer and the elevation takes your breath away if you are from the east...) Now there is a stretch of the Stauffenberg chute at Taos that drops 400 feet over a distance of 540 feet for 75% = 36.5 degrees. I recall that being quite insane.
