At peak times it is less a long lift line and more a pushing and shoving mob trying to get to the point they can form a lift line. Or at least it was the last time I was there at a peak time. You would have to pay me to deal with that crap again.

I don't ski Blue at peak times. I was there 5 times this year and never waited in an over 5 minute lift line. But I do ski a lot of other places at peak times, and never waited in an over 5 minute lift line at any of them either.

Yeah if I were going to have a pass it would likely be at Blue due to VIP line, but not having a pass I find Blue the most frustrating place in eastern PA at peak times.

I like CB. Much less crowded than Blue on peak days (or at least easier to avoid crowds). And while runs are shorter there are more of them.

Elk site says they expect Sat 4/1 to be their last day. But maybe it's an April Fools joke.

The only plus of juice boxes instead of juice bags is when I break out the boxes I get serenaded as the "Juice box Hero" notwithstanding my kids not being American citizens (not foreigners) Try to keep up, they turn 10 in 3 weeks. Empty calories are no good for kids. When I was at Blue Sat I kept looking for someone who lived up to your reputation for rotundness to say hi, but did not see anyone that seemed large enough to match your legend.

$35 for 3 of us to ski? Cripes, we could go to a movie matinee for that kind of bread and even buy a popcorn. Yeah Capri Sun flavored water (less calories than juice) are the kids' warm weather go to portable beverage. Easy to fit 2 in my shell.

That's ok, we can do BYO juice bags if it is warm and sip them oudoors. At least I will be buying 1 $28 ticket for the three of us to ski (thanks to 4th grade ski passports) rather than just trying to squeeze a little more value out of my pass like you cheapskates.

Nice. Might make it back with kids Saturday for day 6 at Blue, depending on how their status compares with CB and VT Skiing with slightly less driving.

Not whining, I was there yesterday and never ski a PA hill 2 days in a row as it gets too reperitive. Just keeping score.

Camelback is open today as is Bear Creek and every Pocono area. The only places closed in eastern PA are Blue and Spring (which had said they would be open today but instead ended their season after yesterday). Mountain Creek in NJ also closed for season. In the running for next weekend still: Blue, Camelback, JFBB and Elk

Forecast for Montage tomorrow learn up around 2. If I were going to ski in PA tomorrow, I would go there for closing day.

Had fun til 2. Probably my last trip to Blue this year as I am not optimistic as to how much will survive the coming waves of rain. But nice to have a 5th day here and 25th overall.

Got my ticket, ready to ski

I don't enjoy it to be worth a 3.5 hour round trip and a ticket purchase. If I am there and have a lift ticket already, a few drops won't stop me.

Rough start and I would have said it was awful in late Feb but it has recovered nicely. Already skied 3 more days than the max I skied in any other season, and I am not done.

Thanks, but no kids tomorrow so no cocoa

Yeah I don't put any credence in forecasts a week off, I was just misreading my app thinking the Sunday it describes was this Sunday

Benefit = it is the place with the smallest chance of rain of those I like to ski. If rain remains that unlikely, a $28 ticket will not keep me away.

Yep that is not a bad deal in itself

Gonna try to hit Blue tomorrow AM. If anyone has any deals or passes to use up this season, please let me know.

My bad, that 20% at Montage is for following Sun. Blue tomorrow AM looking like the way to go.

Looks like the best shot for NEPA skiing this weekend is Montage which is now showing only a 20% chance of rain on Sunday (the last day they are open for the season)

If they have HBO.

Sesame Street isn't going anywhere as it airs first on HBO. Other PBS programs and their rural stations (that get fewer donations) are at risk. So those poor kids whose rural schools are going to get decimated by shifting public school funds to voucher programs and who dont generally subscribe to HBO will alsolose the benefit of S.St. and grow up even dumber and more likely to vote for Republicans.
