Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?
poconoceancity replied to Ride Delaware ?'s topic in General Chat
Thanks Doug. -
Pretty big. I would guess at least 1,000 properties. They own the hill.

Snowing in oc. I just took a class out to do a snow dance. -
They make most of their money selling lots and collecting fees.

NEWS FROM EAGLE ROCK RESORT Property Owner Ski Passes First let me thank everyone who responded to the opinion letter relating to taking Eagle Rock private. The results were impressive - 90% of the respondents believe taking Eagle Rock private is a good idea! In keeping with our current efforts relating to taking Eagle Rock private, every Property Owner will now receive 40 ski passes. This change is effective immediately and you can pick up your passes at the ski shop. - R. Mike Ward

They haven't updated their website. It still has last seasons info. I'm on their email list and started hearing about it during last season. The home owners voted to keep the ski area private. That's what made us decide to switch to jfbb. Now I'm glad that I did. They were so slow to open new trails and that drive was too long.

Is this opening confirmed? -
IMO a lodge is a simple A frame style building. Not connected to a hotel and spa. I like the lodge at boulder also. BC has a super nice facility. I wish it were at the base of a taller, colder mountain in a town with a vibe like lake harmony. If it were I would spend my weekends in the winter there. It's only 2 hours from me.

Just Doug. -
BC does have a nice building at the base if it's slopes. It's not really a lodge. Hazleton is pretty run down. I can't believe that eagle rock is packed with nice homes so close to that area.

Fresh cord was only available on Friday's at noon. Saturdays were still pretty good. This last season I spent more time in the bar than on the slopes. 5 years at the same hill was plenty...I'm really looing forward to JFBB.

We have spent the last 5 seasons there. All of my girls are on the snow at 3 and Eagle Rock was the perfect place for them to learn. There are never crowds or lines there and the bottom lodge is the nicest in PA IMO. Parking is great, I literally parked less than 100 feet from the lodge all of the 100 days I was there. Day pass prices are comparable to other places, but kids 6 and under are free. Season passes are cheap, $219 for adults and $169 for kids ages 7-17. They are only open Friday at 12 to Sunday at 4. The problem there is they are very limited with their snowmaking. The whole mountain does not open till MLK weekend. Because of low traffic they only groom on Friday and conditions are great on that day, not bad on Saturday and horrible on Sundays. We had 3 families up there every weekend and had the whole place to ourselves. There are 2 main lifts that run up the center next to each other so it's very easy to find your group, just wait at the bottom for a couple minutes. We decided against Eagle Rock for this season. The kids in our group are ages 3-9 and we were all getting bored there and were tired of driving past JFBB for 45 minutes to get there. For this year they are not open to the public, you can only ski there if you live there, are renting a home there or are a guest in there lodge.

Interesting.

The temps are there for nightly snowmaking. I think we're in good shape for a Black Friday opening. -

Just make sure to get some next week if the storm hits. We will get all rain down here. -
Great for me. Hit cb during the week when it's not packed, jf on Saturdays and bb sun mornings for a quick am session before heading back to oc.
-
It would be nice if passes from jfbb could be used at cb and vice versa .
