camelback closing at 4pm because of adverse road conditions Brutal. Aren't bad road conditions expected at a god damn mountain resort

I want to especially if its going to dump like they are saying. They are calling for a lot of snow and a lot of wind. Will the slow lifts be running at least? Accuweather is calling it a "winter hurricane"

I am coming up to camelback for the weekend and I was wondering, if it snows a ton like they are saying, are they going to close the mountain down? Over the years I have never really been there when it snows so I am not sure what to expect.

That is awesome. I am heading up there Thursday night and skiing Friday. I was wondering what the conditions were gonna be like.

I just scooped two of them and now theres 28 left

Good TR. I thought near east was like 50 feet long and narrow. Do you have it confused with raceway perhaps

Oh. Well they posted one yesterday so I guess the snow is still there. My bad.

Stowe got an inch yesterday. Theres pics on their website.

i guess i meant relative to the size of vermont, killington is nowhere near burlington. ive been to all 3 places dude.

stowe. killington/pico is nowhere near burlington.

I didn't realize they needed to uploaded to a third party site. I feel like an idiot.

Being the least avid skiier on this forum I always feel obliged to do a TR when i ski so here goes.. Went to Okemo this past weekend with my family. We left on thursday morning prepared for a 7 hour drive from AC. When we got into vermont, it was raining pretty hard and there was no snow on the ground; it was looking dismal. GPS said we were 20 miles away and still NO SNOW and plenty of rain falling. And just like that, when we turned onto i think it was VT rt 100, it was heavy snow falling with a solid foot on the ground. Up closer to okemo the snow cover was very deep and 6-7 foot high banks on the side of the road were common. Friday morning we walked over to the slopes from our condo which was situated at the top of the learning hills/green circles. We made fresh tracks on one of the green circles and it turned out ot be one of the best runs of the day- wide open with about three inches of fresh snow on it. Once I got down to the base area my sister and I separated from the rest of the family and decided to take advantage of okemos ski free the first hour thing. They do not check for tickets until 1 hour after opening to give you an opportunity to check out the conditions before purchasing. Since the base area was very crowded, we decided to go over to jackson gore. When we got to the bottom of jackson gore i noticed it was 10AM so I needed to buy my ticket there before getting back on the lift. They had one ticket window open and a very long line and it ended up taking close to a half hour just to buy my ticket. This made me mad. 15 degrees at the summit with 20-30 mph sustained winds made for an interesting weather day. Despite the high wind warning all of the lifts were running from what i could tell. I skiied pretty much everything except for the double blacks and ungroomed trails because neither I nor my sister are good enough to ski/ride them. But I did notice that the black diamonds were relatively simple. Some of them might actually be considered blue squares at a place like stowe?? All in all the trails at okemo seemed very redundant. Crowds picked up quickly so we stopped for lunch at 1. We ate at the summit lodge for like 45 mins then skiied til closing which is 4pm. What is with the 4 oclock closing? Im guessing most if not all of the mountains in VT close at 4 when it gets dark at 730? Plus, they start shutting lifts down at 330. It seriously felt wierd having to leave the mountain so early. Saturday was an absolute nightmare. Crowds were ridiculous but shouldve been expectd being easter weekend and easter being so early. The snow was scraped off on most of the trails by 11AM and it was an icy mess. Thought i was at good old camelback for a second. Found some good snow on south face on stump jumper and off the rim. There are three diamonds all right next to eachother on the south face that were the best trails on the mountain IMO. Things got crowded quickly so the afternoon was spent dodging people for the most part. Ive now been to stowe, killington/pico, and okemo and okemo was my least favorite. Stowe still rules but i have plenty of mountains left to visit. I have quite a few pictures of the mountain and the ridiculous amount of snow they have but I didnt know you needed to be a rhodes scholar to post pics on here, so if anyone can help me with that I will post them.

yeah nice TR ski, I especially enjoyed the whitty picture captions.

Anyone seen the radar lately? wow that shiite looks nasty.

yeah im addicted to halo. im gonna get rock band soon though.

yep HSHS class of 99. I presume you went to OCHS rock band is real nice. It's the next thing Im buying. can you play that on xbox live

I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree. I think that CB's revenues on a busy weekend surpass all of their passholder revenue easily. I might even go as far to say one busy day can be more profitable for cb then all of their passholder revenue for the year (when taking into consideration food sales, rentals, etc) CB has never and will never care for their passholders because they aren't the driving their business. A passholder is simply a bonus in the eyes of cb management. Do I think this is fair? absolutely not. But it is what it is.

no i grew up in absecon and moved here when i moved back from college. Yo man let me know when youre heading up to the poconos next time, maybe we can orchestrate somethin you can come live with me if you bring guitar hero

No i work in northfield. why, do you?

lol good stuff ski. do they still have that small ski shop in marmora? this is going back a few years but it would be on rt 9 heading south on the left across or somewhere near across from the new wawa

in it, off of NH ave. where you @ in OC?

Jesus christ how many threads are there exactly like this one? try nearby Alpine Mountain.

Dude your first or second post of this thread told everyone to ski somewhere else if they dont like your policies.

Blue customer service at its best i take it. "find a less popular mountain". Good stuff.

Yeah it snowed real hard for like an hour here, coated everything. I looked out the window ten minutes later and it was just pouring. South Jersey in the winter is buns god i hate it.
