Ok Blue is best ski area south of Poconos and north of Allentown

Blue is the best ski area south of the Poconos and east of Allentown

Cause Google is wrong in this instance. Blue is not on the Pocono Plateau. It is on a separate rodge south of that Plateau, just as Montage and Elk are north of it.

1 day til without question the finest ski area in the Poconos opens for the season. Reminder: there are only 5 ski areas in the Poconos

Sleet in central NJ

Extending Main St would make the new lift a move worth the price of admission and make Blue more legit 1000+ foot area.

Jan 1980 on a 2 day trip with a group of at least 20 kids from school that went in together to charter a bus to Elk. Took a beginner group lesson then hit Lehigh off the top which took me all day to make it down. Was too sore to do much beyond the lesson on day 2.

Focused on couple time while at Roxbury, gonna hit Hunter tomorrow. With light weekday traffic and cold temps it should still be quite nice from the 7" they got Sunday through Sunday night.

It is but I get 2 days at montage on Indy Pass already and a third at 25% off, so not convinced I need more

Nah might do Hunter Sunday AM

Room with 1 king for us

Might hit Hunter briefly on Sunday AM. Gonna be taking Joy to Roxbury Motel for birthday getaway. She likes to sleep in, so if I get up early I will get in 5-6 runs while she sleeps.

Went Sat instead of Sun as it seemed the dry spot yesterday afternoon would be better than potentially icy conditions today. Skied right on to the express lift 12 runs down Pennsylvania in 90 minutes then called it a day when rain came back. Nice first day out. Smooth and carve-able with no bare spots.

Cover was fairly thin but no bare spots or ice. Started pouring just as we were getting into car. Hope it holds up. Open tomorrow then closed for the weekdays.

We skied on a trail at Shawnee called "Blue Mountain"

Similarly we got in 12 rain free runs at Shawnee with no lines

24% or less 1-3

Actually gonna aim for the non rainy part of afternoon today at Shawnee

Will be skiing this weekend but at Shawnee with girls

Cause for some odd reason a PA Skiing site that even has a Bear Creek forum lacks a Shawnee one - and this is useful info to folks considering going to Blue.

Sure could change, worth looking at data available. Warmer is better.

Blue less promising

Shawnee should dodge freezing up between Sat and Sun
