Those of us with Epic Passes are just gonna be driving or flying more. PA skison shorter every year unfortunately.

Yeah hit RT sat and Hunter Sun. Excellent conditions both placed both days - Spring like at RT, firm but carveable at Hunter. Between the two we wound up driving as far as we would have hitting Mt Snow, but that was not an option as kids had a Gospel Choir performance on Sat Nt. The way this season is going we get in the turns when we an. Also had a guy I met my last trip to Hunter who is training for PSIA cert give the kids a complimentary private lesson while we were there which was a wonderful way to improve their form. Tried to offer him $ after but he declined. Expect he is quite well off as he has a trail side condo at Hunter.

I lived in 3 different towns in Hudson County, all places within a block of the cliff overlooking the Hudson River across from Manhattan I moved to Central NJ when my employment shifted from NYC to Philly - though Central NJ works for either and I now work (Hybrid - couple days a week in office) in Jersey City

Y'all should've followed my tip and migrated south. Beauty soft spring conditions and nary a line at RT. Soft bumps on Ramrod n Lafayette. 18 am runs.

When I lived 45 min from MC I lived abput 1:30 from Hunter Windham and Belleayre. All well worth the extra drive

Many places want us well behaved families and seniors on the mountain more than 20 somethin millenial lift and lot beer swillin' hoodlums. At least the Epic resorts do.

Parents of kids turning 17 this spring get the shaft yet again

Never real crowded on the Ramrod Triple lift. Thinking of heading there tomorrow as Pokes will freeze up while they will stay thawed. Probably last time I will hit RT this season - barring a South Central PA March blizzard - as the forecast for this week of 2 rainy days in 60s will at least sharply cut into their open terrain and the two week forecast shows this Sat Nt as their only snow making opportunity.

I'm not sure how low they would have to go to get me to buy a pass but they have not gotten there yet. When I lived 45 minutes away I would go there occasionally but more often hit Hidden Valley a mile away (no longer open to publoc). Big crowds, dull terrain (especially once they closed pipeline), long hike from the lot, and the only TTB lift for the non park peak makes you remove skis to stand up in the elements for your ride up. They should consider a combined pass with Big Snow, which they own and could compensate for their ever shortening season.

A lot less difference for me 3:40 RT to Blue or Cbk 4:00 RT to JF or RTop 5:30 RT to Hunter Given my strong preference for Catskill skiing it is often worth it to go to Hunter - particularly with option of going for 2 days and staying at Snowed Inn 10 minutes away for $70 Yeah Windham may be off Ikon next year - one of the things we will see when Ikon goes on sale and why I am waiting til then to make my decision. If there is no Catskill option (Plattekill seems the only likely replacement, or maybe Catamount which is more NY Berkshires), I will likely stick with Epic.

Just had a FB memory pop up that 6 years ago today I got Blue passes for 3 people (including 2 $99 6th grader passes) for a total of $599. I'd be willing to ski more than 14 days in the Poconos for a deal like that.

14 days of Poconos skiing is a fair amount when it also gets you 7 in Catskills and unlimited in VT, Rockies, etc. Might be worth going to Blue less often to get all that.

Probably worth waiting to see Ikon pricing and number of days being offered before getting a Blue or Cbk pass this year.

Hunter was real nice yesterday. Pretty much got the whole mountain open now other than lower K27, Westward, Anna Purna and the glades. And lines were very mild for Presidents Day. I got in 25 runs. Sorry no pix - you all know what the place looks like

Certainly over 350. There does not seem to be much pitch anywhere else on WL.

I was there eve of 2/13 - got the $30 night ticket - didn't have time to get anywhere bigger but was nice to check out again the place the girls and I all learned to ski

Vertical served by Phoebe Snow lift is 608' Vertical of White Lightning segment is 427' Expect the headwall is close to 400'

What is your issue with my stats? Or do you just like to annoy me?

Did some turns here this eve - who can name it?

Thinking Roundtop will be best bet tomorrow AM as they were closed today with a power outage and won't get as cold overnight

Was considering skiing tomorrow but doubt it will be that great anymore as the wet snow will freeze up tonight

Thanks for the update re Floyd's, RShot and glades. Better info than available on their site for sure. Might hit it for some turns tomorrow as limited time to ski this weekend.

Pretty - but they better price competitively as Montage already has at least a dozen hotels within a 5 minute drive

Spent a couple days at Hunter this weekend. Had the unfortunate experience of skiing a brand new trail there "Empire Trail". Unfortunate because as of last year "Empire Glade" was one of 4 marked glades at Hunter, and often the one open the most, and they decided to saw down its trees to make a short inconsequential blue trail.
