mmm i notice that only the halfpipe on laural glade is highlighted as park on the map. are they doing away with other features on the glade this season?

I hear ya, I'm debateing between JFBB, Blue and CB. CB is only a 15 min drive for me where JFBB and Blue is 30-45min so thats also a factor. I'm gonna go check out the new features they built this weekend and ponder some more, I'll take some pics and post em if I can.

Now I'm torn, I vowed I would not spend a cent at Camelback since I stopped working there but these improvements are swaying my decision....

You are correct, I can't sue though I never wanted to but the 2nd victim I believe will. I highly doubt it, the seat belt did not function properly what so ever. It latched but with any pressure it would fully extend the locking mechanism did not work. More than likely the seat belt would have extended me and held me outside the truck to be drug until the truck came to a stop. Normally seat belts when quick pressure is applied lock and keep you in place, this was not functioning on this truck.

Unfortunately no, neither was he. I usually don't wear a seatbelt when driving slow for 1-3min to get from a job site to job site on private property. Although, when I fell out of the truck I was asked the same question so I decided to test the seat belts. They don't function properly anyways they don't lock on impact so if I were to have had the seatbelt on it would have full extended and drug me along side of the truck rather than allowing me to fall out and roll out of the way.

For all you Camelback haters, I'm sure you'll get a kick out of this one. So the Lift department has a 2 wheel drive blue work truck that has to be one of the most unsafe vehicles I have ever seen in my life. It's been to Camelback's Vehicle maintenance shop at least 5 times regarding it's unsafe passenger door that does not latch properly and tends to fly open. While I worked there I was the first victim of the door got thrown out of the truck turning into Cameltop from the state park road, I got pretty scraped up and a sprained ankle but I was ok and didn't say anything to first aid or upper management or take it any further other than say what happened to my supervisor and request the door being fixed AGAIN (for the 6th-12th time?). I no longer work for Camelback but just caught word of another employee who is a seasonal worker got thrown from the truck once again and unfortunately got injured worse than I did, I can't believe they let it happen again. It would be nice if the Pocono record would get wind of this lol. I'm sure the truck won't be fixed or trashed until the next person who gets thrown out gets killed. The owners and new GM can't seem to budget for safe work vehicles yet they can spend $3,000,000 on a shitty water park expansion. GOOD JOB CAMELBACK!!

Double post please delete.

Charles Blier will be the final demise of Camelback. He's known as the hatchet man, he dosn't give a shit about his employees or guests in any way shape or form. His whole purpose is cut backs, cut backs, cut backs, raise profits for owners and get himself a nice bonus at the end of the year. Camelbeach this year is a prime example of it, charging for parking, charging to have a picnic lunch in a tent in the parking lot, charging for all sorts of little extras within the park its ridicules. I can only imagine the winter will be worse. For the most part Rich knew what he was doing as GM and we didn't realize what we had until he was gone and now he is working up at Bromley, VT. Rich argued with some of the changes Art wanted to make and god forbid you tell a rich spoiled kid "NO", so when Rich's contract expired he was given the boot. Unfortunately the owner of Camelback has no business sense nor does his partner. They both had all of their business opportunities handed to them on a silver platter by their fathers who were successful businessmen. Unfortunately they operate by greed and not for the long term good of their business. I was once a dedicated CB employee and rider but I will never again give them a cent of my time or money. I will be purchasing my seasons pass at JFBB this year and never look back.

Arrived at Belleayre this morning at 9:30pm took 2 hours and 50 min from Stroudsburg. It was raining on the way up and was a bit chilly in the morning. The peak was foggy for the first two runs but there was ice and snow on all the trees and nice hard pack groomers. The fog cleared and the sun came after the first few runs and the conditions were great by 1:00 the mountain started getting wet and slushy but the coverage was incredible for this time of year, you could even get into the woods for a bit at the top of the mountain. They had 33 trails open and 6 lifts running with a small bonk/box park by the mid mountain lodge. Great trip, if anyone has time it's definatly worth the trip up there this week.

Bunny Park: 1. Box jump 2. Wide Flat Box 3. Flat Box 4. Little hip 5. Crooked as hell butter pad 6. Down Rail 7. Down Box 8. Wide Box Plaza: 1. Battleship Box 2. Flat Box 3. Down Street Rail 4. Oil tank hot dog thing 5. The red bull thing Boulder Park: 3 Jump Line

Great promotion Craig I'm proud, this is rather amazing laugh.gif

I love it, great work. I see you niggas everywhere.

On the busiest of days almost all the lifts to turn but it is absolutly not worth visiting. That isn't just Camelback though, I wouldnt recommend anyone to go to any resort on a holiday weekend. If you go to a recreational facility and your in a parking lot that might require a shuttle bus or it takes you more than 10 min to find a spot you might as well turn around and go back home as you said. It never fails to amuse me how so many people go to resorts on holiday weekends than bitch and cry that the lines are ridiculas when it was blatently obvious that it would be that way before they even set foot out of their car.

new topic instead of reply delete please

*giggles* How about we build a nice functional terrain park and have a freestyle video contest, this idea dosn't seem to popular.

I'm nice to guests if it makes ya feel any better I even try to be nice to the masses that scream at me for things malfunctioning that can't be helped. In Joe's defense he had probably been harassed about the Sullivan not running all day long but i'm sorry for the negative experience.

My god you've got to hand it to Peak, they know what they're doing.

I just wish meadows would spin mid week mornings, if it dosn't start happening soon I'm gonna have to pick up a pass to boulder

Common now we've had some snow since you got that bad boy ready. Lets see some clips and pics of you sliding it now

Depth only matters when it comes to fresh powder Really though, I'm just jealous I have to work clear until Thursday so I wont be able to get up on the hill until than.

Nice edits, keep representin CB! I see you guys all the time whereever I ride mad props. Sorry for my drunk friends that get pissed at you guys when you train a jib, I personally don't care lol.

Ya but dude if your 100% positive your clean always always always refuse just to protect your rights as well as your fellow citizens. If they unlawfully search your car they can get in trouble and or if they do somehow find a loophole so search your car and find nothing they will be PISSED. Theres nothing better than refusing to cooporate with a stupid cop that claims you have drugs in your car let them bring in the K9 let them bring in their supervisors to get embarassed and find out theres NOTHING and they're idiots who just proved to you themselves and their superiors that there "reasons to believe" are total horse shit. Someone making a simple mistake in an area they're not very familiar with turning down the wrong road is no reason to believe. It's because you are young and possibly the baggy snow clothes and snowboarder reputation that made them say that bullshit. If it were a 80 yr old lady I bet he wouldnt have accused her for having drugs if she made the same mistake.

Totally exploit the police department that pulled this bullshit. Demand a letter of apology and money for any repairs for any possible scratch or rip on the interior of your car from the search. Also find out the names of the officers and write to the pocono record so that bullshit violation of civil rights can be pointed right in their face. I hate fucking bullshit cops that abuse their power and lie and fenagle a way to search your car in hopes of scoring a little pot or somthing to screw up your record. So many times I'm sure that someone is getting mugged, a car or house is getting broken into, or anything worse is happening when a asshole pig of a cop wants to bust some teenagers for a little bag of reefer. Good job keeping America safe!!
