when you guys calculate your vertical in the stats manager from Montage, what do you estimate the total vert from the top of the P. Snow quad is to the bottom? I'm guessing 500 feet but before I update it I want to make sure it's accurate.
I believe Elk faces Northeast looking into Wayne Co. I always thought one of the mountains in the nearby distacnce was Mt. Ararat in Wayne Co. I could be wrong though.
Shawnee was fabulous last night. It was sweet packed powder plus the guns were firing big time...That plus another 5 inches tomorow should make for top notch conditions. I have a feeling this winter is going to last a while.
The Blue Mountain actually seperates Northampton and Lehigh Counties from Carbon County. The ski area lies just over the Carbon Co. Line which is considered the Poconos - barely.
Has anyone considered a pass to Shawnee Mt. For $249 it's affordable. As for the tower guns on Razor's, Shawnee has them on every trail and the snow quality is considerably better because of it.
Have you ever skied in NE PA if so where and how does it stack up against Whitetail. I'm interested in skiing there I'm just not sure it'll be worth the drive.
All of this White lighting talk made me want to see for myself. I must say I severely underestimated WL. I wasn't expecting that type pitch. My first run was Cannonball and when I looked up from the quad I was surprised at the steepness of the thing. The left side of WL was icy and impossible to edge ( I learned this the hard way) but I figured lightning out by my third run on it and skied it successfully every time for the rest of the night. (stay where the powder stashes and bumps are). The top part of the mountian didnt really interest me. Boomer is a nice run too. Lots of ice and hard pack. The snow wasn't the best especially on the steeps.
Beginners (if there are any here) read the signs and do not try White Lightning if you aren't an advanced to expert skier / boarder!
